Taking for text Romans l:16
"l am not ashamed of the Gospel
OF Christ And the evangelist said
in part:
Paul, the speaker in the text, was
man of learning and culture, and
Wno sat at the feet OF the creates
teachers in his day At this time
he is writing to a struggling church
at Rome. writing to people who
faced death, who were being cast into
lions dens because of their faith \
Jesus Christ. But with all his Learn
ing and knowledge he is not ashamed
OF the gospel for it is the power oi
God unto salvation to every one who
believes When We think OF Paul's
knowledge as a teacher, a writer, D
scholar, philosopher, when We
think OF his knowledge of heather
language and all cults and sciences
familiar as he was with the phil
osophcls Of Greece and the lawyers
OF Rome. lie writes bout the gospel
Wnicl comes not by word only bul
by power and faith in the Holy
Ghost.
Paul the great apostle knowing
that history repeats itself, knew that
any nation building upon any other
foundation than that of the religion
of Christ would come to naught and
any body of men subscribing to any
other system of philosophy would tot
ter and fall. lie knew and taught
that the religion and philosophy OF
Rome was not founded upon Jehovah,
and that those that followed it could
not follow in the footsteps of Jesus
Christ, and he eXhorts them not to
be ashamed of the gospel which is
the power of God unto salvation.
No man is ashamed of the truth
if he is right, and when a man is
right he is willing for the truth to
be told. The truth only hurts when
he is on the other side of failure
or sham. This gospel was the truth,
it was not a religion of myths, it
was tradition it was founded on
the life and death of Jesus Christ
who was the Son of God
Paul was not ashamed of the
results of the gospel, neither are

Of glittering courtiers and deft
attendants by rude ~jailers, and the
adulation Of a court and the applause
Of a nation by the coarse insults Of
her turkeys. This, then was the
night, and this the Paris through
one OBSCURE place of deeper shadow
to another, wendell her way along the
damp and dreary streets.
There was a sound of trampling feet
up the street, the noise of
men singing, and a band OF the newly
enrolled volunteers came doWn the
thoroughfare. The woman tried to
hide herself within the shadow OF the
doorway, but the leader Of the volun-
teers saw her and seized her by the
wrists, demanding what she was do
ing, where going, had h a pass, ac-
companying his questions with many
insulting remarks. But while the
woman struggled in the grasp Of the
~ruffian and called for assistance, there
came rapidly in that direction two
young men Of bearing. wearing swords
and dressed in the uniform Of officers
of the National Guards. They were

ficers the woman was res
cued, and Maurice. whose heart had
felt a thrill at the first words she
spoke to him. insisted upon seeing her
safely to her home.
h led him to the old Rue Saint
Jaques, lined with tall, dark looking
houses and intersected by obscure al
leys and narrow lanes, leading to
streets occupied by manufactures and
Itanyards. Us it here you live ex-
claimed Maurice in surprise, for every
word and motion Of the young woman
showed that she was not of the COM
mon people,. and a glimpse which
Maurice had caught of her face
showed that she was passing fair with
a beauty not of hte lower orders.
Yes" she said, land it is here you
must leave me-" She took from her
finger a ring and offered it to him. Il

only the reward of being allowed
again to see YOU. That is impossi-
ble-forever,'' replied the young wom-
an. Then she made him promise to
shut his eyes and keen them shut
while he counted so. He did SO.
He cid so, he felt a kiss upon his
lips. and when the lips which touched
his were taken away the ring he had
rejected was left. When he had count

Genevieve Dinner, a meeting fraught
with fatalities to both. It were long
tt tell how the infatuated Maurice
searched for the home of the fair
wanderer of the night, at length
found it and became an intimate OF
the household. But this he accom-
plished and was in a short time an
almost daily visitor to the house of the
tanner Dixmer, Genevieve's husband,
an ardent Republican,, a tanner en-
ployed as his chief workman n
chemist n Morand, a short man with
thick black hair, who, because Of a
weakness of the eyes, always wore
large green s~pectacles.
Much was the good Republican talk
they had at table at their little feasts,
these four good patriots, and especial
ly did they talk of the Chevalier de
Maison-Rouge, a "nobless' who had
planned many an attempt, brought to
naught, to rescue the queen from her
captivity, and was reported to be even
now in Paris-though the authorities
could not catch him. Rumor said that
he was not only passionately devoted
to the royal cause. but was personally
in love with the queen. He had never
spoken to her, 1T was true, nor did
Marie Antoinette know OF the exist
ence of the Chevalier de Malson-
Rouge until he began to plot for her
liberation. But he had seen the queen
and worshipped her from afar and
now deroting his life to her liberia
ton.
Let US now turn to the prison of the
Temple, where a daughter Of the
Caesars endured an ignominous cap
tivity. An attempt to establish com
munication between the queen and her
adherents by placing knots in hand
kerchiefs sent out in the laundry and
knot laced in them before they were
returned had been discovered. The
daughter of 1ison. the head iailer of
the royal captive, had charge of the
laundry and suspicion falling upon
her she had been banished from the
Temple, though the good faith of her
father and the sullen. insolent tyran-
my of her mother o>er the queen and
the other captives were not in doubt
Marie Antoinette was at that tima
about 3S years of age. Suffering had
written its story upon her once bloom
ing cheeks and had streaked her hair
with gray. The glory of that beautv
which had appeared '-glittering like
the morning star' when she first
daWned as the dauphiness upon
France had given place to a serene
and spiritual expression-a beauty like
that OF the saints and martyrs. The
pride with which she had been
