Both IF the speeches were line pre-
sensations Of their respective sidea
Mr.. Campbell argued that the prisoner
was shown to be q consp1rator by the
evidence and by hts actions after the

scented the other points upon which

the fact that all the Officers Of the

and also as a defendant in q case. as
were all the others engaged in the
tragedy. and that they were present
in response to a mandate Of the court.

to shoot up the court. He also referred
with force to the fact that just q few
days before the tragedy the prisoner
made deposits Of money in the bank
at Hillsville and purchased goods for
his store. which was totally inconsist-
ent with his entering into a conspir-
acy the consummation OF which would
make him an outlaw. He replied to

 The abbe makes affidavit that he first knew of the portrait when 1t was in the Chateau at Gex, which is on the lower slope of the Jura Alps, about 12 miles from Geneva. He knows 1t to have been there for many years, and as 1t was paint ed by a local artist it is inferred that t was done during Byron's residence in the Diodati villa on the outskirts of Geneva, in lS16.

Ha- rent. who inherited the property from the original owners of the enateau at Gex. was defeated in his candidacy for the chamber of deputies in Paris and that this so disgusted him with that part of France that he at once offered for sale both the chateau and it's contents. By 1877 he had sold the chateau and all it contained. save a few pictures, and departed for Lourdes, where he died 10 years later.
 ''The remaining pictures were sent to the rectory of Abbe Gaspart at Versoie, which is in Swiss territory. This the abbe naively remarked, was done between two days in order to avoid the Swiss customs duties. On the following day some of the pictures were sold, the abbe buying the portrait of Byron, which has remained in his possession since that date-1SI7,

 In this brief volnme rich in it's nlstort- cal Illusion, MT. MacNish, who was form erly instructor in history at the Birming- ham High school, has developed a very able argument, presenting Jesus Christ as the "Master of Evolution.i in whose per son is found the most perfect eo-ordina- tion of heredity and variation known to man.
 Mir. MacNish. in his few chapters, opens up a wide field for reflection. Mental ev- olution in the worlds history has striven through a constant conflict between hercd- ity and variation. By heredity is, Of course, meant the characteristics handed down by our ancestors and which result from worship or respect for our ancestors, while variation means the characteristics acquired by experience and observation. The conflict between these characteristlcs is shown in the individual, the group of Individuals in the nation. Mr Mac Nish points out that the greatest struggle in the worlds history between the two characteristics came when the Roman empire. the peTSonlI1CdllOn or 1ereultdTN, habit and indifference, clashed with the northern barbarians who with their free- dom. independence and originality, repre- scented the highest development of the variative characteristic The worlds CIV 3lization was at stake. The revolutionary work of centuries was about to be de- stroyed by the conflict between the antas- onistic forces.
 It was at this critical time that Jesus Christ came into the world. He was al one and the same time King among mer and brother of man. In him were co ordinated in perfect harmony heredity-- respect for the traditions of the Jews. hls ancestors-and variation--the highest de velobnent of the characteristics resulting from experience and observation. The principle which he represented permeated the Roman empire and swept over tn; barbarian hordes and heredty and varia- ton were again brought into accord in the world.
