He stood directly In front of the presiding Judge, not tea feet distant from him. and answered bis questions In a clear voice, without any apparent hesitation. The Judge seemed conversant with the case, for he put questlous rupldly, giv ing a funny little grunt of acquiescence after every answer. Occasionally one of the associates wrote a suggestion und handed It to the president and once or twice the defendant’s counsel asked the court to put a certain In quiry. The whole proceeding—and the same may lie said of those In several other courts I visited—was conducted In a quiet, colloquial way. In every Instance I was impressed with the sim ple, businesslike atmosphere. Some of the Japanese lawyers with whom 1 have tallied say that they feel that very often the court does not elicit all the facts und Unit our system of having witnesses questioned by counsel would be better, lint, ou the other band, some lawyerj maintain that better results ure realized by the system, which puts upon ilie court the duty of getting at the truth, mnlntalu lug that the witnesses are more apt to talk frankly to tile court thun to the lawyer for the opposite side who Is engaged, ns they think, in trying to make them out liars. 1 came away quite favorably Im pressed with what I saw and wonder ing whether on the wbole In 95 per cent of the cases a decision by three Judges trained In the Investigation of facts would not lie as nearly right as the verdict of twelve citizens casually gathered In from the general com munlty.—George VV.

With a heart overflowing with sor row we chronicle tho death of Rev. Mr. Turner, pastor of Line Creek church, which sud event occurred at his home near Aberdeen on Monduy of last week. Deceased served four churches, and his death is much lumented by his membership, for they loved and esteem ed him. He entered the ministry only u few years ago, but bis zeal and fer vency in the Master's cause had won for him a popularity that commanded tho confidence of the entire ltuptist denomination, and that of other Chris tian people as well. To the bereaved wife and children, und others whose hearts have been touched by this sor row, we extend our sincere condolence. To our departed brother and co-worker in the Master's vineyard we would say, "Farewell till we meet again, und meet to part no more.” In our last letter we stated that Miss I’auline Gluss died at Woodbury.
