STRENUOUS L0VEMAKING.

Duke William Tanned Matilda, and She
Got Square on BrlhtrIe.
A modern lover who resorted to
brute force to win his lady would soon
ind himself In the street, If not In the
police station. But fashions In pro-
posals have changed In q thousand
years, and when William the Conqueror
set out to make Matilda, daughter Of
the Count Of Flanders, the happiest
Of maidens he adopted measures that
were forcible, to say the least. The
New York Sun tells the story Of his
tempestuous wooing:
The sutton Matilda had she did not
want, and the man she wished to WOO
her she could not get. The man she
did not want happened to be William,
duke Of Normandy, and he decided to
go to Bruges and conquer Matilda.
There were no national roads through
France in those days, and William
doubtless had a hard trip. Perhaps
Matilda noticed the mud on his clothes
when she came out Of church and
found him waiting for her.
At any rate, William descended from
by the back Of the neck, rolled her
over and over In the mire Of Bruges,
planting we'll directed blows upon her
royal face and body with his other
hand. Life was elemental q thousand
years ago.
This strenuous lovemaking somehow
appealed to Matilda. Perhaps 1t was
what she would have liked to do to
Brlhtric. the gentleman she could not
get, who was only the English am.
bassador at her fathers court aud not
Mt all a proper person to be snubbing
q princess. SO Matilda sent word to
her father that, sick In health and
dolorous In body" she had firmly re.
solved to marry no man but Duke
william.
Later, after william had conquered
England, he offered his queen the
estates Of any English nobleman she
might name. Matilda did not have to
think twice She not only chose Birth
tries estates. but she put him m prison
and kept him there all the rest of bis

"The encouraging thought is
that many did receive him Relig-
ion may NOT be popular, and macy
may trsmple it under their feet.
We are encouraged by the hope
that salvation does not depend on
the popularity of Christianity. Re
ligion is not forced on anyone who

ject him. 1t is a wonderful privi-
lege to become the "sons of God" -
The application is "How may
we become sons of God?" The
answer is we must be regenerated
by the Holy Spirit and then comes
a new consciousness of life, and the
approval of God. Never forget
that salvation depends on a vital
relationship with Christ, and in
order to be successful we must live
a praying life and follow Him."
