promised anything that promise must nec- essarily be fulfilled He then, from the sixth chapter of St John. explained force fully the promise made by the Savior to give to those who shortly before had eaten of material bread, heavenly food, a bread from heaven. His flesh for the life of the world. He dwelt particularly on the fact that Christ did not, when the Jews took his words literally, and when some of the disciples finding the saying hard and were turning away, call them back and tell them they were mistaken: that He merely meant that the food was a type and not In reality, His flesh and blood. He turned to the apostles, said the speaker and said will you also go away" But Peter anticipating his fu- ture dignity" continued Father McDon- aid, "as head of the church, anticipating the prerogatives of infallibility and prior ty, that he and his successors forever were afterwards to enjoy. answered in the name of all Lord, to whom should we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life
 The father then showed how, on other occasions when there was a question of misunderstanding Chrst's words, He ex- plained His meaning clearly. He explained what the leaven of the Pharsees was. He explained what the new birth of baptism meant.
 The lecturer then passed from the prom se to the fulfillment of the promise on the night of the last supper. when, taking bread Christ said, This is my fesh," and taking wine This is my blood"
 From the evangelists and St. Paul, the speaker declared that such words must tory he showed that the words were ever, till the days of Berengarius, the first doubter, taken literally; how even Luther. anxious as he was to break away from the Catholic faith. yet found scripture too strong, and in consequence rebuked Zwinglius in no measured terms, for re- jecting an article that stood forth one of the plainest and clearest and most evil dent of all in Gods written word.
 Father Mcdonald then explained the discipline of the church in giving com munion only in one form to the laity. He showed from reason that Christ's body is a living body, where the hesh IS there, too, is the blood; consequently, when the body is received the blood is also re- ceived. He showed that even in apostolic days, occasionally the faithful communi- cated under the species of bread.

 BY ELECTRIC CAR

 The accident occurred on the double tracks of the road.
 It is said that the man attempted to get out of the way of one car and stepped directly In front of another. He was struck while in the center Of the track and was thrown to one side, living only a few moments His head was mashed and he was injured internally. The body was removed to Shaw & Sons undertaking establishment, where it was prepared for burial.
 The Southern Bell Telephone company has been laying underground wires in the vicinity where the man was killed. He had been engaged to watch the working material at night An outgoing car had passed the spot and he is said to have started directly across the other track on which another car was moving rapidly, en route for the city. He evidently did not see it approaching and 1t was too close upon him before the motorman could stop.
 Motorman Self was running the car that hit the victim. He said that the man de- liberately started across the track when the car was only a few feet away
 The dead mans home Is at Eufaula, but he has been living with his son, Will Hancock, at Avondale. He leaves a wife and five children all of whom are grown and live at Avondale. His wife is in North Carolina visiting relatives. The body will be shipped to Eufaula, today and the funeral will be held there tomorrow af- ternoon.

Nicholas and Peace.

If the news from st. Petersburg
be correct, if Nicholas has called a
second peace conference at The
Hague, isn't that the extreme de-
velopment of incompetent assump-
ton and vain pretense?
1t is said that President Roosevelt
has deferred to the wish OF the
Car that he, the Gar. might call
the second conference as he had the
first; notwithstanding the we'll
known fact that the President want
ed to call the conference months ago
and deferred doing SO out of courte-
sy to Russia. 1t is within the bounds
of possibility that this is correct,
for Mr.. Roosevelt is as courteous as
he is courageous. But what shall
we think of Nicholas, Nicholas the
incompetent, Nicholas the defeated,
Nicholas the misruler of all the Rus
sias and his call to the able-bodied
nations to disarm?
Russia may lack an effective
navy, but she never lacks assump-
ton. Will she suggest to the other
nations the desirability Of retrench-
ment IN naval armament? Is her
sense of humor SO deficient that she
can be guilty of plagiarizing the tao
tics of the fox, who had lost its
tail in a trap and thereupon called
a conference Of the foxes and sug-
gested that as tails were cdmber-
some and in the way all the foxes
should have theirs removed?
Truly Nicholas is the one ruler in
all the world most untitled TO call a
peace conference. Recently defeated
at all points; the best of his navy
at the bottom of the sea, or in the
possession of the Japanese; his
boasted army about to return home
after disastrous campaign; has
people either in open insurrection ol
muttering sedition; Nicholas, poor
incompetent, trembling autocrat thai
he is, would like the honor of call
ing a second peace conference, NJ
one would deprive him of it. but vii
the cause of peace be advanced?
The whole matter is ridiculous be
yond contempt If Japan, or Ger
many, or France, or England, or th'
United States, had called the con
ference 1t would have been inaugu
rated in dignity. But Nicholas
merely an exaggerated Castro He i
the monumental Jonah of the pres
ent era. Nothing he touches Cal
ever prosper.
