At Santa Clara, Cal, there Is a Bap-
fist church which was built of lumb Der
made from single giant oak tree. I'm
der its branches the first Baptist SER
vice in that region was held, in 1858
When ii was decided to build a church
II was thought best to use the site
OF the original meeting place. with
appropriate ceremonies the great tree,
whose shade covered an acre OF ground
was consecrated for its new purpose.
Workmen then cut off the tree twenty
feet from the ground. This big stump
was partially hollow, and was allowed
to stand for the church tower. A ia
pering steeple was built on top OF II.
The upper part of the tree trunk and
its huge branches were sawed up into
lumber for the main body of the
church. When the church stood COM
pleted "a substantial building thirty
feet wide by seventy feet-twelve hun
dred feet of lumber remained unused.
A more sturdy building could not be
gined 1t is as strong as the old
Saxon churches of England, which were
built centuries ago OF native oak and
are still in use.

MERCILESS MERCER
THE ARCH FtENO IN IHR
DREYFUS CASE.
Was Head OF the French War Depart
ment and Entered False Evidence
Against the Friendless Jew-In France.
However, the Truth WIN Out.

Recent developments at Rennes have
shown that one Of the bitterest enc
mics Of Capt. Dreyfus is Gen Mercier
former minister of war when the
French spy at the German embassy
brought to the secret service of the
French army the fragments Of the
bordereau. Col Patty de Clam re-
ceived the report Being extremely
violent in his hatred Of the Jews, he
decided, after brief consultation with
Bertillon one of the French detectives,
that he could safely fasten the crime
upon Dreyfus on account of the sim
ilarity OF the latter's handwriting to
that Of the Bordereau. This informa
ton was reported to MERCER, where
upon MERCER ordered Dreyfus to be
arrested Patty tried to prepare the
case against Dreyfus but his effort
was not strong enough to suit Mer-
cier and another pleader was secured.

Yet he knew he could not crush DIey-
