is very doubtful whether the nations to

that it is universally considered the

Again, in Germany, If you are walk

ST. Maurice.

st. Maurice, in Switzerland. is the
name Of a little station on the railway
that leads up the Rhone valley from
the lake of Geneva. The place gets its
name as follows: Maurice was the Off
Ger second In command of the Thebaic
legion, which the Emperor Maximian
marched over the Alps In A. d. 302 to
quell a rising in Gaul. At Octodurum
(Martigny) the legion, every man Of
which was a Christian, was ordered to
sacrifice to the Roman gods for the
success Of the expedition. Headed by
Maurice, they refused, marched off TO
Agaunum (St. Maurice) and there were
twice decimated to enforce submission.
But they still refused. and finally the
remainder were surrounded and cut
down by the rest of the army.
