A despatch from Amsterdam says:
"The Berlin correspondent reports
a semi-otticial communication con-
corning the pastoral letter of Cardinal
MERCER, who was reported arrested
by Germans for advising the Helgians
not to give allegiance to German ad-
ministration. Everybody, anti or pro-
German, agrees that the cardinal was
justified in endeavoring by pastoral
letters to advise civilians to keep
quiet. But the cardinal misconstrued
his rights and obligations of the
church and transgressed his authority
when, in a letter, he interferred in the
political quarrel between the nations"

The country of Judah is rugged and
lacking in fertility. Its treams are
full to overdowing during the rainy

But religious faith is an inward ex-
perience. and it can be enjoyed even

two sons, crossed the valley and set
tied in the country of Moab. There
existed friendly relations between the
Israeiites and Moabites. not as peo-
pies. but as individuals. Prosperity
smiled upon this family. but the usual
reyerses visited them. First the hus-
band was taken away by death. The
two sons. "Mahlon and Chilion.' mar

were left three widows-a sad and
