PARIS FLOOD OF LONG AGO.
In 1896 the Seine Waters Flowed
over the Palace Walls.

In l2o0 the Seine Waters Flowed
over the Palace Walls.
From Hilaire Belloc's Paris"
In the year 1886 rose the greatest food
OF which history makes any record in
Paris. Men went in boats over the wall
Of the kings garden" All the island was
covered. and from the foot of the hill of
the university to the rising ground beyond
the Marrais, the upper stories OF the
houses rose out OF a lake mile wide. In
that flood was swept away the old stone
bridge that Charles the Bald had built
centuries earlier-before even the Nor
mans besieged the town; and in that food
the Petit Chatelet was destroyed. The
Petit Pont fell into the river also. but
that was nothing wonderful. for it was
the most unfortunate Of bridges, and never
stood firmly for fifty years at a stretch,
but was forever being destroyed and as
regularly rebuilt, The waste OF this flood
was the signal for Philippe lie Bells re-
building.

PRAYER For All Public Officers

o God, thou great governor of
all the world, we pray Thee for all
who hold public Office and power,
for the life, the welfare and the
virtue of the people are in their
hands to make or TO mar. We re-
member with shame that in tue
past the mighty have preyed on
the labors of the poor; that they
have laid nations in the dust by
their oppression, aud have thwar-
ted the love aud the prayers of
Thy servants. We bless Thee that
the new spirit of democracy has
touched svsu the kings of the
earth. We rejoice that by the free
institutions of our country the
tyrannous instincts of the strong
may be curbed aud turned to the
patient service of the common
wealth. Strengthen the sense Of
duty in our political life. Grant
that the servants of the State may
feel ever more deeply that any di-
version of their public powers for
private gain or ambition is a tam
periDg with sacred trust and a
betrayal of their country. Purge
our cities and states and nation of
the deep causes of corruption
which have SO often made sin pro-
fiigate and uprightness hard.
Raise up a new generation Of pub
lie men, who will have the faith
and daring of the Kingdom of God
in their hearts, and who will en-
list for life in a holy warfare for
the freedom and rights of the peo.
pie. Bring to an end the stale
days Of party cunning. Give our
leaders u new vision of the posi-
ble future of our country and set
their hearts Oh fire with large re-
solve. Breathe new spirit into
our nation, aud let us raise from
the dust and mire of the past to
