Turning to the editorial columns OF our
contemporary we see in nice plain type
the name of Arthur c. davies as manag-
ing editor. Mr.. Davies is an amiablc
and estimable young man, but we are
pretty certain that he never held a
government office in Washington. Then
who is the I'VE that honored the gov
ernment by giving his services TO it at
so much per? We must confess that
this matter has bothered us cutie a
little.

From all indications the school cleo
ton today win be something of a farce.
A question of the necessary qualihca-
tions Of voters was raised by members
of the Board of Education at recent
meeting. and the newspapers have been
discussing the matter ever since, but
there has been no effort to secure an
authoritative opinion. The city solicit
ter might have been asked for his in
depreciation OF the law, but he has not
been appealed to. The Board of Edu-
cation had a duty in the premises. since
it was IN one Of its meetings that the
question was raised. Doubtless a Gloss
scrutiny of the law would make it nj
plain. but most people have no oppor'

After the murder. King Alexanders
body was found entirely covered with
blood. That of Queen Draga was
badly torn by bullets.
Almost simultaneously with the
butchery in the palace the troops en-
deavored to arrest all the relatives of
the queen and those ministers whom
the conspirators dsliked. Two broth
ers of the queen, Lieutenant Colonels
Nikola and NiEoaern Lunjevics were
seized and escorted 10y detachment
of troops iron their dwelling to the
guard room Of the divisional com

suspicious of their doom, and were
lighting cigarettes when they were
shot dead by eight soldiers.
General Zilzar Markoyics, the pre-
mier; General Pavlovics, minister of
war, and NJ. Tulorovics, minister Of
the interior. were shot by the troops
as they attempted to defend them
selves from arrest. The former two
were killed. while Minister Tudorovics
is just alive.
Victims Exposed to Public Gaze.
Shortly after midnight the bodies
of the dead king and queen were car
ried to their last resting place It
was a pitiful sight. All day long the
victims were reposing in rough cof-
fms, and had lain exposed to the gaze
Of those who had killed them and to
the privileged curious. There have
been unpleasant evidences of the
public resentment against the late
royal couple. Some persons even spat
on the remains.
The bodies of the victims were con
yeyed to the Belgrade cemetery in
hearses, and all we're buried stimuli

brief. only two priests being present
Not a single friend or relative of the
dead king and queen was present The
remains of the royal pair were in

cics." The other bodies lie outside il
the cemetery in rough graves.
The sisters and nieces of the late
queen, who had been arrested by the
military authorities, were expelled
from the country. Late at night her sis
ters were permitted to take a farewell

small sin, in our acceptance of the
word forgiveness. Do you believe your
Bibles? Listen, in both Old and New
Testaments God says plainly without
the shedding of blood is no remission
Hence instead of just forgiving the sin,
God says, The Lord hath laid on Him
the iniquity of us ALL God laid our
sins on the Saviour. But some one
says the innocent cannot suffer for the
guilty. Where did you learn that?
Not from the enlightened governments
of the world, for they all let one man
pay another's debts or fines; not from
the philanthopists, for every one of
them, Jew and Gentle, infidel and
Christian act on the principle of the
innocent suffering for the guilty in
every thing they do to relieve suffer-
ing; you did not learn it from God for
er's burdens and He laid our
sins on the Saviour. There is only one
other source-you must have learned
it from hell.
Now, second, because our sins, all
of them, were laid on Christ, he who
accepts the Saviour is saved and will
go to heaven, for his sins are answer
ed for. Hence God says, Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved Third, he who is saved this way
Will live Christian life, a better life
than before he accepted the Saviour.
not TO get to heaven, nor to escape
hell for both of those were settled by
Christ dying for his sins, but from love
TO Christ for saving him. Friends, here
IS the issue; will you accept the Saw
lour! On your decision turns the Ques-
llon OF hell or heaven for YOU"

600 of the amount is to be invested

and equipment of churches and schools
in foreign lands.
The city evangelical ton movement
base been placed in the hands of a

The campaign for the raising of the
$4,000 for the foreign field is in the
hands of a committee composed of
Bishop A. w. Wilson, Bishop w. A.

Rev. Seth Ward and j. D. Hamilton.
