Divine Svmpathv

Human sympathy is of the faintest
kind, compared with Gods sympathy.
Perhaps you have never thought that
he is sorry for you in your weakness,
or sickness, or disappointment or
trouble. But he is sorry for all of us.
And yet not sorry in the sense that
will prevent him from doing the best
thing for us. God loves US enough
to discipline Unsolicited.

Comic Sermons For Easter.

In Roman Catholic countries 1t was
an ancient custom. which lasted until
some time in the middle of the seven
teenth century, for the preacher to di-
vert his congregation with what was
termed a "fabula paschalis," which
was becomingly received by the audi
ence with "peals of Easter laughter"
The comic sermon was supposed to be
advisable. as the people often became
''sour and morose' with the deprtva-
tons of Lent aud needed toning up
mentally as well as physically.

GREAT VALOR

Who 10 Decorated on Battlefield
With Legion Of Honor.

LIMOGES. France. Sept. IL: (via

loaded with wounded which passed
here to-day was a young French Of
ficer. Albert Palaphy. whose unusual
bravery on the field of battle won for
him the Legion of Honor.
AS simple corporal of the 10th
dragons at the beginning of the war
Palaphy took part in the recent vio-
lent combat with the Germans. In
the thick of the battle the cavalry
man, finding his colonel wounded and
helpless, rushed to his aid. Palaphy
hoisted the injured man upon lis
shoulders and under a rain of machine
gun bullets carried the colonel safe
ly to the French lines. That same
day Palaphy was promoted TO be a
sergeant.
Shortly afterward. although wound
ed. he distinguished himself in an
other affair, leading a charge of his
squad against the Baden guard, whose
standard he himself had captured.
Wounded by a ball which had
ploughed through the lower part o.
his stomach. and covered with lance
thrusts. he was removed from the
battlefield during the night. and
learned that he had been promoted to
be sub-lieutenant and nominated
chevalier in the Legion of Honor
This incident OF decorating a soldier
on the battlefield recalls Napoleonic
times.

PETROGRAD, Sept. %.
The Austrian troops have been routed
from their third line of defense in Gaicia
The Russians are approaching Tarnow,
only 80 miles from Cracow, and have also
captured Urzok and Szavtana, Hungarian
town on the southern slope OF the Car
pathian Mountains. They have captured
the town OF Przemysl at the point of
their bayonets. but the garrisons of some
of the forts there continue to hold out.
This news Is given in statement issued
by the General Staff today. 1t shows that
the Russian steam roller Is progressing
with amazing rapdity and that only
stiff defense at Cracow and along the
line from there to Thorn East Prussia,
can prevent the Russian armies from
being we'll on their way to Berlin within
a very short time. The General Staff is
rushing the army forward with all pos
sble haste, hoping to avoid a winter cam
paign for the capture of the German capt.
tai
The Russians are today in force at
Tarnow. Although they are unable to
move with the great speed shown in the
early days of the Galiclan operations, be-
cause OF the swollen rivers and marshy
condition or the territory through which
the army Is advancing the Russian
forces are declared in today's War Office
report to be making steady progress
The Russians are moving steadily for
ward in four separate movements. The
hombardment of PrZemys continues with
one of the main forts already reported
as occupied by the Russians. 1t is stated
here that the Russians have again taken
a number of guns and that the Cossacks
are cutting to pieces the rear guard of
the retreating Austrians.
