There is that word of the Master: “00 not be over anxious abOut tomor- row for tomorrw will bring its own cares. enough for each day are its own troubles." That Scripture does not warn against careful, needrul, healthy forethought. that eflicient looking ahead that,prepared will and energies to meet the sure tasks of a future time. Rather does it warn against that non- productive brooding over mum things which may or may not happen and which one is not really called upon to meet till they do happen. Worry is a useless thing. because its only eflect is to prevent any construe- tive action. It is a destructive thing. because it only destroys health and breaks down the morale of mind and spirit. It is an unsocial thing, be- cause it puts one in a condition where he finds it is as diflicult to live with himself as it is diflicult for others to live with him. It is an irreligious thing. because it puts too much stress upon limited human power instead of dependence upon Divine power. Worry will never hold a place among the virtues of a strong personality. It will always remain the enemy of cour- zigeous endeavor. It will take the songs from the birds. the beauty from the hills. the glory from the skies and leave dreary. hopeless misery and drudgery .is the only experiences of life.

In modern times there have been three such appeals. One was made by a native of India and another by an East African, both on points of law. Their lordships sustained the ap- peals and the prisoners were set free. Now there has been settled a case where a man’s life hung in the balance, and the privy council has decided that Dr. Benjamin Knowles, M.C., formerly a medical officer in the colonial service at Ashanti, on the Gold Coast of West Africa, did not murder his wife. Sever- al months ago he had been arrested. tried and convicted in Kumasi by J. J. F. McDowell, an acting circuit judge, who heard the case without a jury. It might well have been difficult in the community to get a white jury whose members had no preconceived notions on the case for we may assume that the Knowles family would be known to everyone. This may explain the action of the judge, which was criticized in the course of the appeal. Dr. Knowles was sentenced to death but the punish- ment was later commuted to life im- prisonmenc. The prisoner saw the inside of several jails both in Africa and England be- fore his case was finally disposed of. When the privy council heard the ar- gument he was lying ill in Maidstone prison, but shortly afterward he had sufficiently recovered to be taken to his sister’s home in Lancashire where he will try to recover from the terrible ordeal which he has undergone. Though the decision declares him in- nocent he will receive no compensation for the suffering and disgrace he has endured nor for the months he has remained in prison. Perhaps Dr. Knowles will be philosophic enough to believe that he is lucky to be alive. PRIVY COUMCIL FREES CONDEMNED MURDERER Duties of Modern Executives Dwarf Demands Made U90n Kings of Yore.

According to the evidence not disputed Dr. Knowles and his wife, who was formerly known as Madge Clifton, a. popular comedienne of the English music halls, had given a little luncheon to some friends one day in October, “There was a revolver standing or lying on a bookcase. It had been cleaned. I took it up and put it on a table near the bed. The boy came in with afternoon tea. I put the revolver carelessly on a chair near the bed. I took a cup of tea sitting on the chair. I sat on the gun. As I got up it caught in my dress with a lace frill. I tried to take it away from the lace and suddenly it went off, the bullet passing through my leg. I did not realize I was shot until I saw blood running down my leg. I am not in fear of death.” The theory of the prosecution was that there had been a quarrel in the course of which Dr. Knowles had shot his wife who had made a sporting effort to save his life. In support of this theory evidence was produced to show that two spent bullets were found in the room. To this it was objected that Mr. Knowles was known to have fired a bullet in the room a few months earlier, the intimation being that Mrs. Knowles was a high spirited woman. The police swore that when they searched the house they were unable to find any dress with a lace frill and the fact that Mrs. Knowles was familiar with firearms would make it highly improbable that she would sit down on a loaded revolver if she was as sober as the defence contended. Evidence damaging to Knowles was giving by the surgeon specialist, Mr. Gush, who attended the injured wo- man. He said that Knowles had ad- 1928. They seemed perfectly happy, and the guests testified that both were sober. What happened after that is in dispute, but later in the afternoon native servants heard a shot from the bedroom and Mrs-Knowles was found bleeding from a wound in her leg. Three days later she died in a hospital after having made the following state- ment: respective protot would ‘ have reacted to e spectac- les of modern mass production that met the eyes and intellig- ence of these modern leaders.

To Protect Her Husband? I reasonto doubt that theywere ex- tremely fond of each other. 'lhe theory of the prosecution. therefore, was not deliberate murder. but merely a sudden explosion, not improbable in such a climate. when there come moments when even the loudest become fed up andwishnothingsomuchasthatthe Ibeloved object should be feeding the Ieternal names. There was also more than a suggestion that Dr. Knowles’ anger had been excited by the supposed intoxication of his wife. Her careless handling of the revolver. it her own story was correct. was held to be highly suspicious on this point. According to the crown there was evidence of a violent quarrel in the bedroom where the two had repaired after the guests had left. mittedtommthnttherehudbeens smooth!
