When Friday, 18th Was
 ''Publick Fast" In England.

One hundred and thirty-seven years ago to-day the thirteenth of De cember fell on a Friday, and it was observed throughout England as a day of fasting and humiliation, by order of George TIL, who hoped thus to obtain the favor of heaven in the task of quelhng the rebels of the North American colonies. The proc lamation of the monarch is a quaint and interesting document, and in part, it ran as follows:
 we, taking, into our most serious consideration the just and necessary measures of force which we are obliged to use against our rebelIious subjects in Our Colonies and Provin- ces in North America and Putting Our Trust in Almighty God, that He will vouchsafe a special blessing on Our Arms both by sea and land, have resolved and do, by and with the ad
 vice of Our Privy Council, hereby command, That a Publick Fast and Humiliation be observed throughout that part of our Kingdom of Great Britain called England, Our Domin- 1 ion of Wales, and Town of Berwick
 Upon Tweed, upon Friday the thir- teenth Day of December next; and so
 both We and Our People may hum hIe Ourselves before Almighty God,
 in order to obtain Pardon of Our~Sins; and may, in the most ,devout and Sol ernn Manner, send up Prayers and l Supp1ications to the Divine Majesty,
 for averting these heavy Judgments | which Our manifold Sins and Provo cations have most justly deserved, and l for iInploring His Intervention and
 Blessing speedily to deliver Our loyal Subjects within Our Colonies and

Provinces in North America from the Violence, Injustice, and Tyranny, of those daring Rebels who have assun- ed to themselves the exercise of Arbi- trary Power: to open the eyes of those who have been deIuded by spacious faIsehoods into Acts of Treason and Rebellion; to turn the Hearts of sthe Authors of these CaIamities, and finally to restore our people in those distracted Provinces and Colonies to the happy condition of being free sub iects of a free state; under which heretofore they fourished so long and prospered so much. And we do strictly charge and command, that the said Publick Fast be reverentIy and devout1y observed by all our lov- ing subjects in England, Our Donin- ion of Wales, and Town of Berwick upon Tweed, as they tender the favor of Almighty God, and would inf1ict His wrath and indignation; and upon pain of such punishment as we may justly infitct upon all such as con demn and neglect the Performance of so religious a duty"

Dr. Hamilton Wright Mabie, who recently returned from Japan, where he lectured at the leading universi- ties as the representative of the Car aegie Foundation of international Peace, will celebrate his sixty-seventh birthday to-day.

The American t'am- bassador of peace to Nippon was profoundly impressed with the pro k2e Japanese
