At that very instant McBrier's card

To the Free Ru.aian.

Shout, oh. you that long have suffered!
Give your sudden gladness voice;
It is well that in your triumph you
should fearlessly rejoice;
Drown the griefs you long have carried
in a flood OF happy tears;
Let the very stars be shaken by the VOL
ley OF your cheers,
But you may as well remember while
you sing and shout for glee
That you'll have to keep on working, even
though they've set you free.
Rise. oh. you that long have groveled.
You have won the right you sought;
You possess the joys Of freedom, though
they have been dearly bought.
Let the flames upon your affairs cast q
glow across the lands
That so long have lain in darkness; but
there's work still for your hands.
Don't forget that even freedom puts no
goods upon the shelves
And is not a thing that causes crops to
SOW and reap themselves.
Sing for joy and pile your shackles where
they may be gnawed by rust;
Shout the glory of the freedom that is
given to your trust.
Let your cheers ascend to heaven, that
the angels there may know
And be glad that right has given wrong
another crushing blow.
But remember while exulting over mat
ters as they are
That your freedom will not purchase
shoes for little Vladimar

down, the more lie grows. The Jews
said. with regard to Christ: away
with such fellow from the earth. for
it is not tit that He should live" Cru
city Him. "Crucify Him" 1--WE will
not Lave this man Christ Jesus to reign
over u.s."
"They drove tho nails into His hands,
The spear into His side.
The crown Of thorns into His brow,
And they Knocked Him TIL He died"
They smote the Shepherd and the
sheep were scattered. so that from all
appearances Christ and His religion
were things Of the past; but were they?
1t was not fifty days until a band Of
men and women were In an upper
room, praying for the coming Of the
Holy Ghost and when He came 5000
were converted and added 10 the
church by the power. and the Chris
tans went everywhere preaching the
Gospel. Then said the prosecutors:
"Stone Stephenp' "Tie Thomas to
u pillarw "Crucify Peter" "Throw
John into cauldron Of boiling oil"
Chop off paul's head" "Stop them"
"Stop them or they will turn the world
upside down." They killed the apos-
ties; but did they kill Christianity?
Never! They might just as well try
to stop the earth turning OH its axis, as
to prevent the coming Of Christs king
dom OH earth. Christians have had
their thumbs in the thumb.screws;
their feet In the stocks; their lips cut
off; their eyes bored out; they have
been eaten by wild beasts; they have
been burned at the stake; they were
tortured In every conceivable manner.
Women have had their children taken
from them and themselves outraged.
"They were stoned, they were suwn
asunder, were tempted. were slain
with the sword; they wandered about
in sheep and goat skins; being desti-
tnte. afflicted tormented. Of whom the
world was not worthy" and yet
through the burning Of Rome, and the
Bartholomew. through all the past CEN
turtles Christianity has been growing
like IL cedar Of Lebanon;' it is flour
isling like the palm tree. This leads
to our next thought.
VII. The palm tree is emblem of
victory and rejoicing. The Jews en-.
ployed palm branches OH the fcasts Of
tabernacles, and on festive occasions.
They carried them before princes and
distinguished persOnages, waving them
in token of Joy and triumph. The
Egyptians waved palm branches III
honor of Osrus and bore them before
cOnquerors In their triumphs. The rea-
son given by plutarch why the SYM
Dol was adopted by the idolators Is the
nature of the wood. which so power
fully resists recumbent pressure; but
more enlightened nations bear palm
branches artcr Il victory. to acknowl-
edge the author Of their success and
prosperity
Said the presiding elder to the dis
cOuraged minister, who had run away
from his charge: "IIavc they ever
spat upon you" The minister said:
mo. they have not gone that far"
did they ever crown you with
thorns" And the minister began to
weep. Then said the elder: "Who is
going to reign ut the end Of this
world" Oh, friends! Jesus Christ has
won and is going to reign until all His
enemies nre put under His feet How
would one Of the political parties feel
toward its opponents. il that party
knew that the victory was won already
and that all the work from now until

November would DC spent simply in

christian has victory over the world,
the flesh, and the devil: yea, even
death itself. Tertullian said: I'VE
conquer when we fall" We read such
statements as the following, in connec.
tlon with the death of the martyrs:
He has received the palm of martyr
DOM" "He has been crowned with
the palm of the martyrs" st. Agatha
replied to the tyrant: "If you do not
rend my body upon the rack, my soul
cannot enter the Paradise of God with
the palm OF martyrdom." There are
palms upon the tombs Of Calus. Thur.
tius. Valerious, Mamimianus Fiumena
and others. At Cawnpore, in India,
there is well, enclosed by wall of
white marble about twenty feet high
and ffty-seven PAGES In circumference.
On the stone that covers The we'll is in

perpetual memory Of a great company
or Christian people, chiefly women and
Children, cruelty massacred near this

VIII. The palm tree is a type of
