set a. stage on which war dramas arc played in reality. After that time, an era of righteousness and good will among men will follow
 Asked how it was that. he had reached this conclusion, the pastor replied If nations would delight in doing the will of the Lord at our time. wars and rumors of wars and dissatisfaction on all sides would not be the sign of our day. But the Prince of Light, is not. wanted to reign over the people. The Prince of Darkness will lead the majority of the human race into confusion, until what is left of the nations will cry for help and deliverence to God Almighty and it shall not be done in yain.
 If out of this comparatively small matter between Austria and Servia ; should come general European war, in which the backbone of two branches of the Germanic race are broken, then do not hesitate to state that the victorious nations are mad.
 If the European nations do not know. to guard their holiest treasures any better than that, they will drive themselves. in their frenzy into the arms of their fellowman.
 f. If the Austrian Hungarian gov rernment puts indirectly the responsi- bility for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his consort before the door of the. Servian government, am bound to believe that she has, at least so much proof for her opinion. a. the American government had in connec- ton with the events which compelled us to remember the Maine.
 Justif1es Action of Franz Joseph.

The sparrows on the roofs have for years told the truth, that Pan-Slavic agitations to undermine the existence of Austria Hungary were and are in full swing.
 Murder Nothing New in servia.
 Murder, in order to see political ambition realized, has been nothing new in Servia. In 1868, Prince Mi claeI became the victim of political blot King Milan would have been killed,a if he had not fled to foreign sof1i King aAlexander and Queen Draga were assassinated by officers of their own army. These officers were..never punished, but they have been promoted.
 nThe Austrian cabinet must con- sist of feeble minded men, if they should fancy for moment that the government of Servia is earnestly en- deavoring to punish the guilty. E What Americans Would Do,
 What. do you think the American people would do ins a similar case ?" asked the interviewer.
 s.I presume that L. have some knowled ge of the spirit of our people. T venture to say that, if instead that the Maine. was blown up the Spanish general, Veyler at that time govern pr of Cuba. had succeeded in having assassinated President Mckinley and his wife. we would have filled the air Uith the cry: stRemember President Mckinley and his wife!'
