Sand Dunes In Gascony.

One of the most interesting and re
markabIe of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in Gascony
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line Of 100 miles in
length, some 100000 cubic yards OF
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope, whirl
them over to the inward slope, where
they are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward In the course Of years
there has thus been formed complex
system Of dunes, all approximately
parallel with the coast and with one
another and Of all attitudes up to 25C
feet. These are marching steadily in
ward at a rate of from three to six
feet a year. whole villages having
sometimes been torn down to prevent
burial and rebuilt at a distance

cludes its sessions this afternoon
Mr.. schaus Speaks.
At the brotherhood mass meeting
last evening addresses by Mr. w. H.
Schaus, Of Springfield, Ohio, and the
Rev. A. E. Rem, of Indianapolis, gave
the principal addresses. Mr.. Schaus
spoke on THE Christian Man and His
Congregation" His address in part
was as follows: I'VE men are called
the lords of the congregation. But are
We? We have not been keeping pace
with the men who started the glorious
work of Christ and the women are the
ones who started the glorious work of
Christ and the women are the ones
who have forestalled us and are now
doing the work that we should be do
ing. This is not only in the Lutheran
church, but in every other church. We
must brace up and be men and do
mems work. The ladies will have plen-
ty to do without doing our work. Let
us give our hearts to God and then we
will not be satisfied until we are doing
mans work
when Christ gets into your heart
the way he should be, you will not
have the desire to take a social drink.

your automobile on Sunday"
Rev. Renn's Address.
Following Mr.. Schaus' speech the
Rev. A. E. Rem spoke on the sub
ject of 1.-THE Christian Man and his
Denomination" Mr.. Rem defined his
subject as being the view which the
broader minded Christians should take
of their churches. "The Lutheran de-
nomination is not a small one. 1t is
the largest denomination in the world.
This is fact and ought to be a very
inspiring one to us. Lutheran missions
are scattered all over the civilized and
uncivilized world. Often We church
workers will NEE a man who claims
that he does not believe in denomina-
tons. II you will closely study this
kind Of person you will find that he
is not a church worker of any kind
and that he pays very little attention
to study of religion"
