pastor of St. Stephen Evangelical
Lutheran church in this place, deliver
ed timely and thoughtful discourse
last Sunday morning on the theme

in beaut full words and furnished

The fact IS that Dreyfus has for a long
time come and gone as he pleased in the
French capital. A writer in London Tit-Bits
says that the Captain Is living a quiet. re-
tired life In a cory suburban house. Every
day he may be seen on the streets OF Paris,
In the Louvre and the great libraries. yet
no one recognizes him. because they do not
know him. Curiously enough. he wears no
disguise. He has frequently brushed shoul-
ders with his greatest enemies Not many
DAYS ago. for instance, an officer who gave
evidence against him at the famous Rennes
trial begged his pardon when stepping out
OF a tramcar. unconscious OF the personality
he was addressing.
