 But today there is no crown of marfyrdom for clergy which shall dare to deal in concrete, pactical righteousness, right now. When- ever the clergy will stand forth in demand for what is right in public life and public matters amid their surroundings they will secure it. If the clergy of Nogales will but look about them for themes and ap- ply to our current loca, history tue moral precepts of the Bible, they will preach to crowded congregations seven hundred and thirty times a year.

 The law in the case is iound in the United States Statutes at Large, 23-IIS, sec. IS. While not the exact language the following is the purport of the section instanced, as taken from the United States consular regulations, paragraph 374, page I4S:

 gation which greeted him Sunday
 evening Rev. Heald quietly intimat-
 ed that his announced retirement
 from the work in this field seemed the

 his seven years ministry in Noga-
 les. However, the reverend gentle

 ed out to listen to his sermon Sun
 day evening, but because he had
 announced that he would preach
 upon a LIVE SUBJECT. The asser- ton is here ventured that if Mir.
 Heald will preach upon topics of daily interest in the community and bring down l'ible principles to ac- tual daily occurrences among us, he would have Trinity church filled every Sunday both morning and evening.
 Heretofore MT. Heald has made the same mistake that the modern church makes everywhere. And that is why the pastors of Christian churches all over the land preach Sunday after Sunday to empty pews. People are told that the Bible is for all time, and tbat its sublime precepts and principles are for all tbe ages and for all genera tions of men. Bnt somehow or another it seems to have lost Ns hold upon the masses in this most enlightened age the world has ever known. And why? Because those who teach its sublime truths hesitate to apply them to the present age, to the present generation, to the violator of divine and moral law who stands in brazen effrontery be- fore the very communities where they teach. The prophets of old maintained their hold upon the Hebrew people because they fearei not to assail wrong in high places.
 What tie modern church needs is men in the pulpit who can stand before might and power, as stood Nathan before King David, and, pointing out the grievous wrong, say "thou art the man." What the church of the twentieth century needs is a clergy like those old divines of the English Church, Lat finer and Ridley, who went to the stake rather than yield to the de mands of the crown, and Laud of the next century who, with the headsman's block awaiting his neck, insisted upon punishment for the rich and poor alike. They preach ed a doctrine for application to their very time. And the church was a power. The people asked for bread, and the old divines gave

FIRST INFERNAL MACHINE.
1t Was Built In the Seventeenth Centur,
By the English Government--In-
vented by Il Freuc1fmau.


vented by n Freuchman.
In 1893 the English decided to re-
venge themselves upon the corsairs of
st. Main, who had long been preying
on their commerce.. At first they tried
to lombard that port, but finding that
their shots had little or no effect, they
devised a machine which was intended
to utterly destroy the town at single
blow. A special boat was built for
this purpose with carrying power of
forty tons. 1t was filed with all kinds
of destructive material and such COM
bustibles as pitch, resin and chopped
straw. There was over five hundred
bombs and shells, with four openings
so as to throw projectiles in all direc-
tions. This great hulk was towed at
high tile by three shallops close to
the walls of the town OF st. Malo.
Some of the sentinels saw the ma
noeuvre, but before they could give
notice the vessel struck rock about a
pistol shot away from the walls of the
town. 1t was badly injured by the
shock and the fire caught earlier than
had been intended. The first thing
that was heard was bomb shotby the
English as signal, and then all at
once, as if the fire had caught in two
or three magazines at the same time,
the most terrific explosion follow
ed. Flames flashed over the sea,
the windows ratified as if from
an earthquake shock, the inhab-
itants of the town rushed out of
doors, expecting to see their houses
fall to pieces. Strange to say with
the exception of the breaking Of few
window panes, not the least damage
had been done in the town. The
English were not so fortunate. At
least hundred and fifty of the men
on board the shallops were blown to
pieces or drowned by the premature
explosion of the machine which had
proved so Internal to its inventors.
The individual who had arranged the
whole plan and built the boat was
recreant Frenchman named Flournier
and he was one of the victims Of the
disaster. So ended one of the most
famous Attempts to use an internal
machine, and had it not been for the
accident of striking on the rock, it is
certain. that much of the town of st.
Malo would have been destroyed by
the explosion, while the English would
have escaped in safety. An attempt
with a similar machine was made
against Dunkerque by the English at
later date, but with like results.
