John Schofield established the first

sprces Mt a Church Festival.

1t is custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at the conservation
Of new church. This custom has been
regarded as unlovcly and un-Christian
by many influential Germans of the
new school, most notably by Emperor
William II, but still it remains unre-
formed, and the comic weeklies do not
tire of depicting the scenes in and out
of the police court that follow the con-
secration sprees and fights. Some time
ago the festival of new church was
celebrated in Oberringelheim, in tho
Rhine country. III anticipation of the
usual trade in exhilarating liquors u

the sacred edifice advertised thus in tho

Jacob Muller herewith pledges himself for

serve every one of his guests with as much
wine as he can drink on tho occasion of the
church conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to visit
me in response to this request, remain re-
spectfully yours. JACOB MULLER.
Within an hour after the newspaper
containing this advertisement appeared
80 citizens of little Oberringelheim
bought subscription tickets from Null

Joan Of Arc Before the Judges.

The questions addressed to Joan and
her answers day by day have been trans
mitted in the records of the court. To
read them is to understand the brutal
ferooity with which she was tortured,
until, turning on her aocuser, she cried 4:
"You call yourself my judge. Be care
full what you do, for am indeed sent
by. the Lord, and you place yourself in
great danger.
To answers almost sublime succeeded
answers filed with naive ingenuity.
Questions were piled, traitorously con-
oeived, concerning the visions which
had come to her and the celestial voices
which she heard and which throughout
her mission had counseled and guided
her. But OH this point she was firmly
silent. 1t was as though it were a Sc
cret which she was forbidden to betray.
She consented to take an oath to speak
nothing but the truth; but, concerning
her visions, she made reservation,
"You could cut my head off before |
would speak, she protested. At night.
In the darkness of her dungeon, st.
Catherine and St Margaret appeared
to her, and celestial voices comforted
her. She avowed that she had seen
them with the eyes Of her body \ y
and when they leave me-, she added,
II wish that they would take me with
them" = 1.-THE National Hero of
France" by Maurice Boutet dc Monvel,
