It is true that the Lutherans and CalvlnlstS,
who had been reared and educated as Roman
its. could not at once free themselves from
all the beliefs in which they had grown up;
and hence we can understand why they per-
sisted in the witchcraft deluslOn.
Besides, the Old Testament does teach that
there are-or were-witches and wizards
(The witch Of Endor is familiar ex-
ample.)
And the Old Testament did say, "Thou
shalt suffer no witch to live"
Men are slow to disbelieve any of the states
ments made by the Jews in their Old 1esta-
ment even though said statements almost
raise the roof.
Lots of Protestants still fondly cling to
Balaam's ass, Samson's foxes, Jonah'S fish,
and similar stories.
"Extraordinary Popular Delusions" is the
name Of a standard work by DR.. Charles
Mackay, scholar Of the highest standing,
whose book came out In 1892.
He deals fully with '"The Witch Mania"
He says, on page 159, that "Bamberg, Ire0es,
Cologne. Paderborn and Wurzburg were the
chief seats of the (Roman Catholic) commits
sioners (named by Pope Innocent VIII who,
during their lives alone, condemned to the
stake, on very moderate calculation, upwards
of 5000 victims"

Mr.. Dague continues to quote:
many women executed here as witches. The
clergy of all Europe and America were the last to
yield to the voice of reason and to the voice or
humanity. 1t has been estimated by historians
that about nine millions of women were put to
death, mostly by burning, by sanction OF and ct
the command of the Catholic and Protestant
Churches. Mr.. Gauvin says: $50 frequent were
the executions that for centuries it was rare

to different type of architecture.
We now include social rooms, athletic
equipment. educational facilities in
our church buildings, wherever we are
able TO do so and the needs of the
community so demand. There is
growing tendency to preserve the
church auditorium from any uses
which detract from worship. Even
wholesome entertainments in the
church auditorium may create such
memories that when regular service
is held they make it less effective.
Environment counts for Il great deal
in creating and preserving the spirit
of worship. Consider the uses TO
which your own church has been put
in the last year What uses of the
building in the coming year will be
most fruitful for spiritual efficiency?

added: We are not surprised that a

When Jesus came to the Passover

 The Host triDes"-or ut least part of them-remain a mystery to this day. A portion of the Hebrew people-the tribes of Judah aud cnjamin-return- ed from exile and became the ances- tors of the Jewish people. The story of their return is recorded fin the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
 Others, probably some of them be- longing to the missing tribes of the northern kingdom, are believed 10 have returned from still remoter lands and mixed with the Jews in Palestine again (see Luke il, 86), while few at least probably mingled with the mixed population with which the king of As- syria cOlonized Samaria and who be- came the ancestors of the Samarltans. Many, however, remained ill the Assy- rian empire and lived in colonies throughout the cast.
 Various writers have claimed that traces of them had been found among the Afghans and also among the Tar tars, the Nestorlans and in India and Africa, but these are rather specula- tive Ideas than substantial evidence.

 II. In Their Tltlss.
 Are the numerals "II." unlucky when they follow the name of a monarch? It would seem so.
 Of the four living European rulers and ex-rulers so characterized two, the Czar Nicholas II. of Russia and Sultan Abdul Hamid II. of Turkey, are de- posed and prisoners. The third, King Manuel II. of Portugal, has been de- priyed of his throne by his people, while the fourth, the Kaiser Wilhelm II. of Germany, has more than gen. erous share of troubles of his own.
 History, too, curiously enough, tells the same story. Alexander II. of Rus sia was blown to bits by nihillst bombs In 1881. Louis II. of Bavaria was drowned in 1SSB. Charles II. of France was strangled. James II. of Scotland was killed in battle Napoleon IT., hay ing lost his throne, died In exile.

Edward II. was cruelty murdered in prison at the tnstigatton of his own wife, and a similar fate like wise overlook Richard II. William II. was murdered.
