In Case cf Priest. “In this morniug’s paper I saw that a priest had been arresied, charged with the murder of his brother. A few days ago I read that records of the Atlanta Penitentiary showed three ministers inmates to eucb ac-tor. \Neither the actor nor tbo minister should be in prison.

To some the fear of death coming upon them In some frightful unheard of form was enough to destroy their moral stead fastness, while to others a clairvoyant certainly that they were to work darn to those whom they lovqd across was sufficient, force to itnjjel them to blot out their lives.\ Soldiers of German descent, the re port said, seemed to lead other nation alities in tho figures showing the ex tent of suicides.
