tOpher Columbus was probably more
deserving OF a share of the credit of
Mr.. Columbus success than have been
most of the unknown wiyes of we'll

Columbus was married in l47O, or
thereabouts, to a Miss Palestrello, Of
Lisbon, whose father had distin-
guished himself as a navigator. A
part OF Miss Palestrello's marriage

displayed wonderful enthusiasm on
the subject, partaklng to q marked
degree Of the speculative and adven-
turesome ideas and schemes In the
line OF geographical discovery, for
which Lisbon was then the headQuar-
ters. She possessed fine education,
and was widely known as brainy,
brilliant woman, who was constantly
urging her husband on in the path
which brought him to the wondrous
goal with which we are SO familiar.
While a girl Miss Palcstrcllo made a
number Of hazardous voyages with

Der Of the order. The Knights num-

We're commanded by General j. Park

down from the cross, and we will be-

DIR. Hubbard was exceedingly impress
slve and sympathetic in portraying
the sufferings and death of Christ. lie
spoke of Christ on the cross, having
power to save himself, but preferring
to suffer dsath that a sinfut world
might be saved, He held tho fate Of
the world in his hands. but bore the
mockery and jeers OF the crowd rather
than that the world should perish. lie
died. and the object OF his life was ac-
complished, God gave his only begot-

| Mr.. Hubbard hoped that the Knights
TenIplar would never again be com
PEELED to unsheath their swords in the
defence of Christianity, but that the
world may be conquered by their
moral welfare.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
creed was recited, all standing, and
the knights with unsheathed swords.
The latter feature added beauty and
impressiveness to the service.
