dead And it all came so quickly Little by little I began to recall what had occurred I re membered it was Sunday April and that I had taken my wife and three children to ville lo spend a few days with her mother machine never ran heller and roads wore good After a sumptuous dinner I started for homo and on reach ing Richmond the town clock struck four I concluded I miht need some more gasoline and so I ordered the required amount Then I concluded to lake a walk about town The flaming posters of a moving pic- lure show attracted my attention and I went in and saw Dick the Demon of the Digging I cannot say that it was a very elevating film Then Honing my coal against the strong north wind started for my home in Winches ter How cold it had turned ing the las hour or so Before reaching Lynn I was shivering but sped on reaching home about seven oclock and feeling as if I had visited the North Pole The gas was low and so after eating some cold potatoes and -a- wenl to bed How the rest happened l can hardly describe I must have gone to sleep but now as I tried to move I could not stir I tried to cry aloud but my clove to the roof of my mouth What did it mean Soon I know for I was standing by the hod- side viewing my own lifeless re mains Dead I I exclaimed I John Jones dead it must have been apoplexy or heart failure But I had not long to speculate for I soon found myself standing be fore a great white throne and no ticed- thereon the words Judge of Quick and Dead The I cannot describe Never bad I seen such a benign look and yet with it all Justice was written on every feature of that face in which the mysterious light of the place glowed like the sun The judge had not yet address ed me but from somewhere came the words It is appointed unto man once to die and after this the Judgment Yes I thought I have heard that before but I had so little lime no sickness no warning The same mysterious voice came again saying For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometb as a thief in the night For when they shall say Peace and safety then sudden destruction cometli and they shall not escape Hut ye arc not in darkness that the day should overtake you as a thief Oh thought I If I were only hack to earth how differ ently I would live The Judge looked upon me with a look of pity as that voice which seemed to come from everywhere at once said Another mortal is about to he judged- and receive the things done in the body whether they be good or whether they be evil Then amid a silence such as earth never lias the Judge turn ed to me and said What hast thou to say of thyself As I looked upon that countenance knew that nothing but the truth would do and yet I felt at limes that I must shade the truth a lit tle as I had sometimes done on earth Righteous Judge I made re ply I am a farmer a retired farmer and live at Winchester or did before I passed over I inherited a farm in Randolph County and a few thousand dol lars In money so I bought a bouse in the city and a renter works my farm Art thou connected with any church Yes I replied but I hung my head in shame as I thought of my unfaithfulness I am a or was in earth life a birth right Quaker A great church said bo founded by men who feared my name a church that has always taught Divine guidance This church although small has brought to pass some of the greatest earthly reforms This was the first church to stand for temperance and for equal right remembered well that I had attended only limes in a year but I said as I gave the number attend the Sabbath more when roans are not Didst thou learn at Sabbath School that Ye shall keep my Sab bath and revcronco Didst thou attend Monthly Meetings and prayer meetings No I answered It was quite impossible Last year they elected mo Worthy Grand Spieler of our lodge of Ancient Or der of Hocus The lodge Tuesday night and it was my work to instruct candidatos and being out so late that evening I did not feel like going out Iho next night In the instruction did it say Thou shall worship the Lord thy God and Him only shall thou serve Didst thou tell can that God was greatly to bo feared in assembly of His saints Did they learn that to fear God and keep His command meats was the whole duly of man No I answered this was not in ritual of our ancient or der Hut said the Judge thou didst speak of thy farm What was thy income this past year I answered with pride Mine is or was a Randolph County farm and received a thousand dollars from it Good said the Judge one hundred dollars of tenth money How didst thou appropriate this amount Again I hung my head and tried to be evasive by saying Copies each mm- -T- Ft did give that way I just I bought the cause Ihe sexes This church has In Our Meg who you to de ls of i mis ruble in love i5n a Prosperity is Us reward i A I Heir as directed in to isstore gray hair to Its natural color or refunded not a dye mid PrUs Supply I li Ho A J brought about prison reform ab olition of slavery and has sown the seed of universal peace Yes terday was the first day of the week Didst thou meet with thy brethren for worship No I answered I was from home yesterday What about the Sabbath be fore said he Wo wore nil invited to Para- toga to a chicken dinner that day When didst thou attend meet ing he Inquired not gave as Surely then thou hast never read the tithe of he land whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of tree is Lords is holy unto the Lord No rue Friend can belong to that class of whom it is written Will a man rob God Yet ye have rob bed me Perhaps said the Judge thou hast so well learn ed the text Every man according as he in his heart so him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God a cheerful giver that thou dost give more than a tenth and there nev er has been a lime when such giv ing was more needed than now Thousands are dying of starva tion in Armenia many must go hungry in and many more in Germany Oh said I the Germans are our enemies No replied the Judge if what the President says be true He says the United Stales has no feeling against the German peo ple only against the Prussian military class atid it is not this class that suffers What have been thy gifts to church and charity the past year With thy comfortable homo and thy good income anil all thy blessings what hast thou done for Blessed is he that considereih poor the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble I full well realized that if I over needed deliverance it was now There was only one thing I could do tell he truth Oh good judge I said I must con fess that have been of others I have lived too much like Dives If only I had another chance I am much ashamed lo say that all I gave away this past year was a pair of cast off boots to a tramp and I let him spade in the garden an hour Besides that I gave a dol lar to Med Gross and another dollar when they made the Quak er drive Yes and I did give fifty cents for the War Service Flag but I always felt doubtful about this Oh yes I did sometimes drop a in the Sunday School collection but we got this all back in papers Didst thou attend the picture shows any Yes I answered my eldest son and I went about once in two weeks Wo only attended good shows however Willie who was fourteen his last birthday got so he could tell the real exciting ones by looking at the billboards If there were plenty of shooting masked faces and detectives ho would come home from school ana say Wo must go tonight Poor boy- what will ho do now with no father to take him Do you think Judge they have yet heard of my death at Gonncrsvillo Hut said the Judge wo must not drift from the matter in hand This account now stands for church and charity and fifty cents of that doubtful and over for entertainment This places thee in the class known as Movers of pleasure more than lovers of God How about thy Bible study Surely thou didst not neglect the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto through faith which is in Christ Jesus I answered It was war lime when lived and I had hard work to read the daily papers as an American should John Jones said ho as he gave me ono glance of mingled Continued
