John was established with large fol-
lowing under Venetian rule. They
are recorded in Switzerland in 1418,
in Denmark in 1920 in Italy in 1872,
in France and Spain in 1442, in Pol
and and Russia about 1900, and in
England not long after. 1t was the
depredations and the frequent atroci-
ties practiced by these large invading
hordes that gained for the gypsies
their bad name, a name that has stuck
to them ever since.
Tho Last Migration.
Their last migration was to Ameri-
ca and Australia, nearly three CEN
turtles later. These bands were most
ly English gypsies, although many
bands from the continent of Europe
are to be found in the United States.
But whatever nationality tribe be-
longed to, 1t retained the Romani Ian
guage, the language common to all
gypsies. This is not a simple jargon
or cant. 1t is a true and complete
language, especially in the farther
east, where the gypsies have remained
compact, and it possesses consider
able vocabulary and a highly devel.
oped system of infections. This Ian
guage has naturally been influenced
to considerable extent by the coun-
try of adoption, the broken dialect
of the English gypsies, which is the
language of the majority of the
American tribes, being strange mix
ture of English and Romani

Boston.-"Be good children. or the
gypsies will get YOU"
For hundreds Of years mothers
and nurses have used this style Of ad-
monition with refractory children, for
since the advent Of the gypsies into
England from the east in the SIX
teenth century, popular opinion has
associated them with thievery and
kidnapping and thriftless ways, with
sorceries and incantations and things
that loom terrible to the childish
mind. Famous writer's have pictured
them as incorrigible rascals, the pub
lie who have seen only the nomadic
features Of their life have built up
many superstitions around this an
Client people, until to-day to be gyp-
sy is to be an outcast, a nameless
wanderer upon the earth, feared and
distrusted by all men save the few
whose dealings with the gypsy folk
have taught them better.

trace their origin to each Of these
sources The most commonly accept

shows many resemblances to the

Leaving thier early home in north.
western India about the year 900, the

Taking the direction of Kabulistan
and Persia, they penetrated into
Egypt and northern Africa and mi

people Of whom they have written?
And have not the gypsies' romantic
charm, their curious lingo, their habit
of wandering. their superstitions and
lore and their supposed freedom from
humdrum restraints and moral and
legal conventions created in the pub
lie mind an altogether false impress
sion of this curious people? Those
who have come closest to them assert
that such is the case.
Especially Is the popular idea fall
lacy when applied to the American
gypsy, and 1t has remained for A. T.
Sinclair, a Massachusetts lawyer, to
come publicly to their defense. Mr.
Sinclair is In a position to know what
he talks about. He has spoken the
language of the American gypsy for
20 years, he has given years of study
to the habits of the oriental gypsy
and to the subject he has devoted his
best observation. The result Of his
dealings with gypsies and his close
association with them for quarter Of
a century is the firm belief that they
are a much libeled and greatly mis-
understood people.
Talk Little of Themselves.
Many have wondered why the gypsy
has never tried to defend himself,
why no one of them has ever attempt
ed to refute the general conception of
his people. When an outsider ap-
proaches a gypsy to get information,
the man who a moment before might
have been loquacity itself, in the
hope of making a horse trade, be-
comes suddenly secretive; he is as
close as the proverbial oyster. Not
once in thousand times will a gypsy
discuss with an outsider either his
own affairs or those of his tribe, what
ever the strangers business claims
may be upon his consideration.
But Tom Stanley, son of the chief
OF the Somerville gypsies, relented
somewhat from this rule to explain
certain misconceptions that have long
existed in the minds of the public
concerning the wandering folk.
"Of course 1t doesn't matter to us
what people think, SO long as we
know ourselves honest and so long as
we play fair In trade and In all our
dealings with the world" he said
THAT is one reason why none of us
has ever taken the trouble to contra

SERMON

SSoHtdg hilG oNt w wv
Lord."--Such is the testimony
Of the writer Of the sacred mar.
rative at the close Of the life Of
Joshua. No costly monument
was reared to the memory Of
the great leader, but there has
come down the ages this record
that he served God.
And what greater or more
enduring record could be writ
ten Of any man7 Il at once de-
clares the character Of such
man; II testifies to the perma-
nency Of his life work; 1t gives
assurance Of the abiding influ-
ence of such a life upon the
lives of others.
Let US consider these points.
First, the character Of the
servant. He who Is truly a
servant Of God, must be God.
like. More is needed than the
title and the garb Of outward
seeming. The right to the title,
Servant of the Lord" must be
tested by what a man Is and
does. Not every one that saith,
Lord, Lord" Is entitled to the
name and livery Of Servant Of
the Most High" The true serv-
ant is one with his master In
purpose and desire. He studies
to know and do the will Of his
master. He delights to be like
his master and to be identified
with him.. How perfectly was
this expressed in the life OF
Jesus. As servant Of God he
lived the God life on earth. The
life Of God flowed through him
just as he would have II flow
, through us. The true servant
is the branch which abides in
, the vine and obtains its life
therefrom.
And now as to what the ser
want does. The true servant is
busy about his Lords business.
II must be so, else is he disloy-
al and unfaithful. To be SER
want implies service. The idle,
careless, indifferent, neslectful
, servant is no servant at all, and
not worthy of the name. But
, what may we know of the life
work of the true servant Of the
Lord? We may know first that
it has helped work out the eter-
nal purposes Of God in the
s world. We may know In the
second place that the measur-
ing rod of eternity, not that Of
time, must be used to declare
the quantity and quality Of the
work. We may know also that
the service rendered on earth
was but the beginning of the
service to be rendered in
Heaven. What an inspiration
in the thought that he who
works and builds with God here
J works and builds with God for
eternity.
} And then there Is the abiding
influence Of the true servant Of
God, which goes on and on in
ever widening circles among
men. This thought is expressed
in the declaration concerning
Abel, who offered acceptable
sacrifice to God, that "beins
dead, he yet speaketh." And
from Abel down take the record
of the true servants of the Lord
} as set forth In the Word of
God, and who can estimate the
influence which has gone out
from those lives. Though dead,
they continue to speak their
message to the hearts Of men.
Joshua, the servant of the
Lord. What glorious COM
ment on his life. Servant Of the
Lord! May we all strive to be
worthy Of the name and rela-
tionship.
