ther back to the theology OF the bids

sadly neglected by the scholastic divines,
and 1t has found no adequate expression
in the symbolical books CT any OF tne
great churches Of Christendom. They ,toe
the most part, pursued false methods q

and historical criticism are sections OF

When Ulysses 8. Grant, after eight
years presidency Of the United States,
made his famous stouraround the world,
lie visited Spain, as matter of course.
While there lie was shown the tomb in
whicl, Ferdinand and Isabella lie side
by side.
Mrs. Grant was with the General and
saw that he was much affected by the
scuIpthred efiigies OF the long dead king
and queen. The story of Isabella's i
dying wish to be laid beside her royal
consort touched the grim soldier, and,
turning 10 his wife, he said:
u want you to be ut my side 10 the
grave, dear, in just this way"
Mrs. Grant has rarely spoken of this
incident, but it is not only recalled by
the recent anniversary of the General $
birth, but by the fact that on the same
day the Grant monument committee
of New York broke ground the
great memorial to the dead soldier to
be erected in Riverside Park by the side
OF the Hudson river. So, after nearly
six years of waiting. the dust of Gem

Some of Won Mo,tk... Wars,

The seven weeks war between
Prussia and Austria was planned by
Moltke. and the operations which cul-
minated at Keniggratz were his. The
movements ofthree army corps, which
were to converge at given time upon
the enemy and crush him, were all
directed by this master mind. But
his brain was versatile as well as far
seeing. On the very eve of the battle
dispatches were received which COM
PEELED radical changes in the plans,
but Moltke was not embarrassed in
the least by the event. as this posi-.
bility had been foreseen by him.
When the battle was raging, when
the non-arrival OF the Crown Prince
seemed liable TO Illustrate the
Prussian combinations and the
King and Bismarck were becoming
nervous, the Chief of Staff was cool
and free from anxiety. At thi. su.
preme moment Bismarck offered
Moltke cigar, which he carefully
selected from number OF others.
Bismarck has since said, when
saw that he was cool enough to choose
cigar felt comforted and assured
that things could not be going wrong
with us after all.n In few moments
the expected army corps was seen ap-
preaching, the united Prussian armies
closed in crushing grip upon the
Austrianss and the battle of K9nig-
gratz was won. For this campaign
Moltke was decorated, and received a
donation of 200. 900 thalers.
From 1866 to 1870 Moltkc was pre-
pairing for the war with France.
which had become inevitable When
the bolt fell in 1870 no man was prob
ably less moved than he. Nothin :
more wonderful than the swift mobili-
zation OF the German armies in 1870
has ever been seen. unless it be the
skill and persistence with which the
march through France was conducted,
and the successive victories at Sedan.
Metz and Paris were achieved.
Moltke conducted o. designed all
these operations. Neither the extent
OF the field occupied, the magnitude
and wide distribution of the forces
engaged. nor the plans OF the enemy,
could confuse or embarass him. With
his maps and colOred pins he followed
the march Of the troops. decided on
points to be occupied. grasped the in
tentions Of the enemy, and nine times
out OF ten carried out his purposes
triumphantly despite all obstacles.
For his services in this war he was
made Count and General Field-Mar-
shall. His constitution was OF iron.
Throughout the war with France he
worked incessantly. taking little sleep
and no diversion, but he returned to
Berlin with health uhbroken. All
the old German cities conferred hon.
orary citizenship upon him, and he
was given large donation. After
the war he settled down to routine
life, spending part Of his timo on his
estate at Kreisau. attending to his
army duties, and occupying his seat in
the Reichstag, OF which body he was
made q life member
