the others. his accompanying SER
wants participating also. His spirit
of zeal was an inspiration to the dis
couraged people. who took heart and
hope began to thrive. Then came
Encouragement and opposition from
the enemies. An attack was even plan
ned, but learning of this, Nehemiah so
directed the work that the heads of
the families kept an armed watch
while the others labored. carrying
swords also for self-defense.
When their enemies found that
they were prepared. the proposed at
tack was abandoned and discourage
ments were resorted to. The effort
was laughed at. ridiculed as impes-
sible, and worthless anyhow. Those
unused to manual toll soon grew
sore and weary and discouraged. The
higher the walls grew the more
difficult It was to place the stones
and the mortar. and the more stones
built into the wall the fewer suitable
ones remained amongst the rubbish.
It was a time Of testing Of faith and
loyalty to God. Trials and difficulties
are permitted to come 10 all of Gods
people for just such testings. The
overcomers are developed through
various experiences for the Divine
service.
'Stand Fast In the Faith"
It may be asked. why Nehemiah's
faithfulness and courage was tested
and what reward was his. We reply
that a reward of misunderstanding
ment follows every good endeavor
The reward Of those who lived faith
fully in Nehemiah's time differs es-
sentially from the reward of the
faithful amongst the followers Of
Jesus. The latter are promised
share with the Master I'm His glorious
Messianic Kingdom Fear not little
flock. it is your Fathers good pleas
ure to give you the Kingdom" TO
him that overcometh Will / grant 20
sit with Me in My throne"
But Nehemiah could have no share
in these Kingdom promises because
he lived before the call to the King
dom-before Peutecost. He and others
of his time who displayed faithful
ness and loyalty are not personally
mentioned by st. Paul in Hebrews xi.
but they are undoubtedly included in
the list. OF them the Apostle declar-
ed. "They had this TESTIMONY that
they pleased God" st. Paul declares
that they will receive their reward
share in the earthly phase Of the
Kingdom. after the Church shall first
have received her share with the Re-
deemer in the heavenly phase of the
Kingdom. :or they without us shall
not be made perfect. God having in
reservation some better thing for us"

Out of pretended politeness they insisted on Gryn preceding them. The cage was not locked; the lion leaped out to at tack Gryn. Being good swordsman, he hastily wrapped his cloak around his wrist and hand, stuffed it into the lions mouth, at the same time using his rapier to pierce the animals heart. The people promptly hanged the two priests and the gateway where they were hang ed is still called the Priests Gate.
 The old Templars' hall had fallen into decay, but has been repaired so that there is practically none of the old buildings left.
 On Richmond street is three.story building and looking out of the window of the upper story are the heads and shoulders of two horses. The story goes that Richmonde, who was the wife of somebody, was supposed to have died of the plague about A. D. 1900. In placing her in the vault the sexton no- ticed valuable ring on her finger. As soon as he was alone he opened the vault and it is claimed that he was try ing to cut off her finger when she reused up. She started for home and every body gave her the right of way. When her husband heard the news he said he would as quickly believe that his two horses would come up stairs and look out of the window. A few minutes later he heard fearful racket in the top story. He went up to in. vestigate and found them there looking out of the window. He could not get them down so he embalmed them and they are there yet.
 The only thing of interest l found in the Church of the Minories was the tomb of Duns Scotus, or John Scott ot Duns, who was one of the most-if not the most-learned men of his day. He died about A. D. 1900. Beside this church is the Wallraf- -Richarts museum which has splendid lot of paintings. l do not know very much about paint ings. I do not believe have in me the material of which artists are made. l remember l thought the paintings of Valesquaz in Madrid were fine, but l have forgotten already what impressed me. Of the thousands of paintings l have seen do not remem Der dozen.
 There were many copies of statues and other works of art, but had seen the works themselves in Rome, Paris, Naples, London or elsewhere.

Cologne has a population of about half a million. When Julius Caesar came here he found the Ubii in posses sion. Those men were very liberal in their views and very often ate without using a finger bowl or napkins. They did not get peevish if the morning pa per happened to be fifteen or twenty minutes late. The Romans took pos session and kept the place for several hundred years. Aggrippina, the mother of Nero, was born here and she after wards founded city here, calling it Colonia tColony).
 St. Maternus was the first bishop, about A. D. 300. About the same time St. Helena brought some relics here. Charlemagne's friend, Bishop Hide bold, built cathedral here, but it was not very large. Later an archbishop was appointed, who was also an elector.
 Cologne is situated on the Rhine, which is nearly 500 yards wide at this point. There is a pontoon bridge and two fine iron ones, the latter having been completed two years ago. The manager of the hotel was telling me that when they thought it about finish ed that people came from everywhere 1 to see it opened. He used to stroll down four or five times day to see it.. At last they said it would be finished in 24 hours He was watching them put on the finishing touches, when they hoisted steel girder or beam with a man astride of it to fit it ill place. He had been hoisted some ten or fifteen feet above the top of the bridge, and as the man was making the signal to lower the girder into place the bridge sud denly collap psed, the whole thing going into the stream, leaving the man astride the beam swinging in space like Mo- ] bammedan's coffin and looking as if all the world had left him. He was very surprised man and seemed to be twice as high as when the bridge was there. They swung out the long arm or boom of the crane aud.lowered him down to the river bank, where he landed unhurt but dazed and bewildered. There were ? people killed or drowned when the bridge fell and the company worked steadily for six months clearing the wreckage out of the river. It was a terrible financial loss to them, but the next bridge did not fall. It is very high and vessels of all sizes pass under. meath it.
