BILL vIjUND A Y
A thousand newspapers tell the latest news” of the
Strange, shocking, and mysterious case known as the “Hall
murder mystery.”
Big headlines tell of finger-prints, clues, suspicions, a re
volver planted to deceive the police, testimony of servants and
Millions reed. Mow many ask themselves what really
teased that Mall murder!
What was it that sent the Rev. Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills, a
linger in the choir, to their death and to judgment T
What will the high court say!
i Tke world kA* heard from two
- the court* established here on
larth.
I When the widow of the murdered
Herfnnan was locked up at ndd*
liglt. taken to prison, bail was
Granted. The law said, "Produce
111,000 as a guarantee, and you
nay go free.”
> The widow is free from the
prison, pending further develop
psnts of the case.
Next came the arrest of the
Bs brother, and of her cousin,
d with guilty knowledge or
city tn the murder.
i They are held in prison. The
iourt and the law that freed the
Iccused widow refuses to free
|hem, no matter what the ball.
i ** and by will come the trial,
» Ind In due course the whole world
yffl know the result.
Afl Os Us Are On Trial
®!g. headlines will shriek
•GUILTY” or “NOT GUILTY.” Each
itizen will form his opinion as the
iM progresses. The law and de
ency forbid any comment that
i-ould seem anticipation of the
ourt*B decision. t
When it comes, we shall all know.
We watch the murder trials and
he prize fights and stock market
tews, the various land booms, and
ill the other happenings. And we
ire all interested in what is hap
pening TO OTHERS.
WHAT ABOUT OURSELVES?
The real Hall trial will not be
on earth, but ABOVE the earth.
[TBe court to which Dr. Hall and
Irs. Mills, the woman, went four
ears ago Is a court through which
re all must pass. A majority of us,
taring to God’s mercy, keep out of
Hrthly courts, but not one of us
will escape the high court above.
Can’t Fool This Judge
And up there you can’t lie.
. There is no perjury there, no
1 hired witnesses, no evidence to
provo that you were cra*y, or
that you didn’t know what you
_-kero doing.
There, everything Is transparent,
bs clear as crystal.
Tho soul of each of us will stand
benetrated through and through by
the X-ray of eternal justice.
Only one thing will help us
when that time comes. It is to
Mean up, to be clean-cut, ready, pre
pared for the test.
An Unhappy Woman
Those that knew her. described
unhappy, miserable Mrs. Mills as
ra delicate, nervous, beautiful
Woman.” Her “lonely life” was de
scribed, her poverty.
These are excuses that the devil
Supplies by the tens of thousands.
She had her OWN’husband, her
OWN children, her own DUTY to at
tend to, her own immortal soul to
la re for.
Not I nor any judge here on
larth can pass final judgment upon
her soul. That must be done above.
But the excuses made for her sin
ire excuses that began in the
Barden of Eden when Adam, caught
In the act, said: “She gave me of
lhe tree and I did eat.”
ts And the excuse is now made for
Mrs. Mills, who was found mur
dered beside the body of her clergy
man, Dr. Hall.
Baevaes plant peisen h» the mtede

of thousands and lead in other cases
to tho exaction of deadly sin from
the beauty of woman as the opium
drug is exacted from the beauty of
the poppy.
Beware of excuses. Don't let the
devil’s excuses rule your conscience
here. They won’t help you here
after.
Strength and Beauty
You may have seen a field of
poppies gleaming in the sun. Too
many young men in the late war
saw such poppy fields and added
th«r red color of their blood to the
flaming color of the poppies.
A field of poppies, as God made
the flowers, is beautiful, inspiring,
a delight to the eye and the mind.
But man takes the poppies,
squeezes from them a deadly drug,
and that drug, opium, deadens the
mind, destroys the will and the
moral character, curses millions of
human beings.
The Beauty of Woman
So with the beauty of woman and
the strength of man, Included among
the blessings given to us by a mer
ciful creator.
Beauty and strength, well used.

For that is what repentance is, *a

“Penitence, of course, implies a
