A YOUNG MINISTER'S COXEES SION OE A FOUL CHIME. TWO nicheson caso, tho mtirdor of n woman by u minister who had been her betrothed lover, but entered Into nn engagement of mnr rlago with anothor woman, Ih one of tho saddest In the annals of crime. It Is sad In that the Innocent Ufa ot a pure woman was tuken, tho life of nnothcr blasted and homcB of sev eral families darkened. It Ib sadder stilt In that It rovealH n moral do generate, unfit for the ministry, who Jins injured tho church of which ho wan pastor. I J lit the car has ouo mitigating feature to relieve I(b black horror. Tho man Is not a hnrdoncd slnnor. Ills confession of guilt shown that ho has a hoiiho of sin nud can not bear tho bunion of guilt.

Tho bad mnn hns lost it. Tlioro Is elenr hopo for tho good man who ropontB or his sin, but only hoping ngnlnst hopo for tho had man who dons not. Ilnwthorno's romnuco of "Tho Scarlet Letter" somowhnt parallels tho nicheson caso.
