When the shore Is won at last.
Who will count the pillows past?

In FreybourS. Switzerland. there is
the trunk of a tree 400 years old. That
tree was planted to commemorate an
event. About ten miles from the city
the Swiss conquered the Burgundans.
and young man wanted to take the
tidings to the city. He took a tree
branch and ran with such speed the
ten miles that when he reached the city
waving the tree branch he had only
strength to cry, Victory" and dropped
dead. The tree branch that he carried
was planted, and it grew to be Il tree
twenty feet in circumference. and the
remains of it are there to this day. My
hearers when you have fought your
last battle with sin and death and hell.
and they have been routed in the con-
hict. it will be 4 JOY worthy of c"lcbra-
ton. You will fly to the city and cry
"Nictory." and drop at the feet Of the
great king. Then the palm branch Of
the earthly race will be planted TO be-
come the out-branching tree Of ever
lasting rejoicing.
When shall these eyes thy heaven hrilt
walls
And pcary gates behold.
Thy buwarks with salvation strong,

ride, the under side Of which is CORFU

upon the rails of the track. On the TOP
OF the shoe is an arrangement which.
as soon as the wheel rises upon the
shoe, clamps the outer rim of the wheel
and at the same time grasps the inner
edge Of the rail. The simple weight Of
the car crowds down the shoe upon the
