The Lecture on Luther last
Friday evening by Ed. Fl. A.
Pallister, was well attended
and realized about thirty dol-
lars. The lecture was Interest,"

easy, graceful manner. The
lecturer gave a history OF Mar.
tin Luther from his birth at
EiSleben, in Saxony, following
the daring monk, under the
sheltering wing OF the Elector
of Saxony, to the famous Diet
of Worms, the prison'cell at
Wartburg, and the celebrated
Augsburg conference, closing
with his death III 1916 at the
age of SO years. The lecturer
then gave a brief review Of
the reformer's character, stat
ing that although he chung to
many fallacious doctrines, as
for instance, the real presence
in the bread and wine, yet his
great services in freeing man
kind from ecclesiastical thrall.
dom and priestcraft, and incul.
eating those glorious principles
of liberty of conscience which
have been such a blessing to
the human family, entitled him
to the fellowship of every
Christian heart. The Elder
concluded the lecture remark
ing that Rome though shaken
by the recent events in Europe
was not overthrown, only Shorn
largely of its political infu'
ence. He looked forward to
the day when all the followers

We see that some of the
Democratic papers are making
a terrible (hypocritical) howl
about the fuse OF the army In
elections" The fact of it is that
the army enforces law and or
der and interferes with such
things as driving voters away
from the polls, repeating and
such pleasant pastimes as
swinging American citizens to
lamp-postS, burning public
buildings, and other fun of the
same kind. Gen. Grant is In

POLITICAL Situation I'm Europe.

YssDEU. 10, 1870,
Political Situation In Europe.
The present Franco.G German
war is one of the most remark
able in the history of the
known world. That this war
has shaken Europe from centre
to circumference must be ap-
parent to every one-not only
Europe but in a measure the
whole world. 1t has brought
about, and will in the future
bring about important results.
1t has settled the long strove
for bone of contention, the pri-
macy ofthe Pope, and has CIV
en- peace to a united Italy. 1t
has united the whole of the
German people and is about to
unite all German-speaking
countries into one great con-
federation or empire, The
states of South Germany have
signed articles of agreement
uniting themselves with the
North German States under
one confederation, and such
shrewd politicians'as Bismarck
and others have felt the popu,
lar pulse of Austria, and know
that she, too, will soon wheel
into line. When the compact
between all these States is
completed, Germany VIII form
one vast empire, and King Will
liam will prCbably.be crowned
emperor; a strong desire seems
to be manifested in some cir
cles that he should now assume
that title. The success OF the
German arms has been almost
unprecedented, being victory
on victory, leaving their oppo'
nents none but, 'triAing Tempo
rary successes. The present
dispatches indicate that fight
ing has been going on close 10
TO the walls Of the city of Paris.
The capture of the city If not
absolutely certain, is the next
thing to it, for, we can not see
what ray of hope the French
have left. A war between
Russia and Turkey appears to
be breeding, which, when de-
yeloped, will probably result
in Turkey falling into the
hands of a Christian Govern
ment, and the people being
Christianized. These and 9th.
er results will be worked out
by this war, and the New Ger
man Empire will take its sta
ton foremost among the ma
tons of Europe and be one of
the brightest consultations in
the political armament of the
world.
