"come With Me Now, Gabrielle" watching portraits, but in the midst, on either hand of the raised coffin. two great candles threw their light into the darkness and on the two men who. with drawn swords and sightles5 eyes, kept guard. They wore dark uniforms which the little chapel had never seen, and the coffin was hidden by a strangers flag.
 Colonel Destinn drew softly nearer to where woman heavily yelled, knelt In prayer. Before her were two wreaths. One bore an imperial crown, the other a simple inscription
 ITO Our Comrade-Goetz von Der. lIchingen."
 As Destinn approached the yelled woman looked up. He stood quietly be side her.
 Your highness, he died bravely. He was worthy of his race"
 T thank you, colonel"
 He left her. He went out again into the evening sunshine An orderly held his horse in readiness and four hun dred men marked time to the strong rhythm of the Legion's war song. He swung himself into the saddle.
 "In column-forward-march!"
 They swung out of the gates-out into the road. Half Sidi-bel-Abbes ran at their heels. On the outskirts the general with his suite waited to give them Godspeed.
 Return iE honor, my children!
 The band crashed out a triumphant answer. Colonel Destinns sword sank in farewell.
 "Toujours, ma foi, le sac au dos--''
 Singing, they left the glitter of lights and the sound of the towns joyous hubbub behind them. Colonel Destinn rode on alcne. No man spoke to him. There was on his face a grave and peaceful knowledge.
 And before him lay the desert and the night shadows, which were but a promise of another day.

17:22-2S.) But when missionaries are sent to teach them such terrible mis representations of His character, the heather are repelled. Consequently little has been accomplished in leading them to Christ.
 Some years ago, when travelling in India, the Pastor met some intelligent natives who frankly told him that they considered their own gods superior to the Christian God, and that they could not worship a God who had damned all their forefathers to eternal torment. He apologized to them, telling them that they were quite right, but that they had been misinformed respecting the character of the God of the Bible While there, he learned that practical ly the only natives who profess Chris tianity are what are known as "rice Christians'-poor creatures who at tend whichever mission promises them the most rice. It was not the Message which drew them. but the material benefits expected.
 The work of the Gospel Age has not been that of converting the world, but merely the selecting of the Church from the world. (Acts 15:13-1S.) Pres ent adverse conditions in the world are most favorable to the training of this class, who during the incoming Age are to be used of Jehovah, fin as- sociation with their Head. Christ Jesus to bless all mankind by instructinc them in the Love of God, shown in His rrovision for their salvation and uplift through the Atonement work of their Redeemer. Then the world will be delivered from slavish fear.

sHO rRAAAb VI ACuAt [ put of power. and of love, and of a sound mind"
 AS far as the speaker can discern, the whole world is dominated by the spirit of fear, which seems to be the Adyersary's means for deluding man. kind and keeping them away from God. This we see amongst the heath en- who are largely under the control or Satan and the evil spirits. The gods and demigods of mythology were undoubtedly the fallen angels and tneir progeny. Genesis 6:1-4: Levitt GUS l17; Deuteronomy 3o17; Psalm loo:34-Ss; Corinthians 10:20-22) The scriptures abound in references to the eVll work of the demons. Many pro. Iessed Christians are deluded by these spirits, because of neglect of the teach Ahss and warnings of the Bible.
 This spirit of fear. the Pastor dc. elared, together with the worldly am Ditions of religious leaders, brought on the Dark Ages. Fear was usea as iash to drive people into the churches nn an effort to convert the world. Bins. pnemous doctrines, grossly misrepre. senting our loving Creator, were foist- gu upon the people to frighten them lnto subserviency. Satan and his de mon hosts were the real instigators of tuis condition, according to Gods word. But fear cannot bring men to tod. The most it can do is to cause Its victims to make an outward pro. lesslon which bellies their heart senti- ments. History proves unmistakably that the blasphemous doctrine of end less torture has utterly failed to bring men to God. The most hardened crim- mas are generally those who have been taught this doctrine. The great mass or the careless, the indifferent, tne morally lax. have been thus indoc. ulnated from childhood. It Is not God's design to draw any to Himself Dy such methods.

 The Truth has drawing and sancti Lying power that nothing else can have IF the world were not under the blind. Ang Influence of "the god of this "orid," Satan, all mankind would be captivated by the Truth. But Satdn uoes not wish the light of Gods good Aless to shine into mems hearts. Con sequently he has endeavored to cause people to think of their Creator as the sreatest Demon. imaginable. No man, however deprayed. would commit the ueVllish deeds that are attributed to sod. Any being that would torture billions throughout eternity would be a Devil of the blackest dye.
 These blasphemous teachings have caused the majority to immerse them seiVes in pleasure-seeking in business
 almost anything rather than to think ot tnelr Creator. The eterna; torment theory has been Satan's most success ,ul device for hindering people from .oVlag our God. Even the heather na. turally wish to find their Maker. (Acts

 Heavy runs have been made on local grocery stores. it was reported by numbers of people. and some of the grocerymen themselves sub stantiated the reports by showing their counter pads. One prominent retailer in the downtown section showed a five page order from one of his railroad customers for gro- ceries to be delivered at the house yesterday.
 An instance was cited of an engin- eer's wife who presented a check to the cashier of bank for payment Si87.90 in amount. and. collecting the money, stated it would all be in- vested in groceries at once. It is said numbers have done the same thing in order to be as fully pre- pared as possible against a long period which might have resulted on account of the threatened strike.

sPIRITISM SAID
 TO BE DEM0NlSM.

A most interesting little brochure has recently come off the press setting forth with Bible proofs that the com munications received by and through Spiritist Mediums is of Demon origin The writer traces his subject through the Scriptures from the time when certain of the holy angels became dis obedient. He proves from the Scrip lures that these fallen spirits per sonate the human dead. with whose past history. spirits. though invisible are thoroughly acquainted He shows that they also frequently person ate the Creator and the Redeemer, commanding their deceived ones to pray. do penance. etc. This, however, is merely to lead them on and to bring them more thoroughly under demoni acal control. Sometimes by breaking down the natural barrier. the human will. they possess their victim. and rule him more or less to his ruin-frequent. ly sending such to the mad-house. Numerous illustrations. Scriptural and otherwise. are given. The price of the little book is but Ave cents; 1t should be fin tke hands of all interested in Spiritism or who have friends inter ested therein Enclose stamps to the Bible and Tract Society, IT Hicks Street Brooklyn.

The Federation. it was said, is inter

the Federation not to consider at this

brought them into competition with
Asiatics requested such action and until

ton to this effect has already been in
