THE Fourth of July I'M foreign coun-
tries on Thursday, said the echoes of
the bold act OF our forefathers were
being heard over the civilized world.
Autocracy today-that is what is left
of lists like Damocles with 2 sword
suspended by SPIDERS web over its
heads. It's fall is inevitable, although
long delayed.
The Fourth of July was celebrated
in Saloniki Thursday. This ancient
city was known as Thessaloniki in the
days of Paul, the renowned evange-
list. Paul spent two weeks in the
place, and the first of his letters was
the "First Epistle to the Thessalon-
ians."
Paul carried the gospel to the place.
Seventeen hundred years later the col
onists of North America proclaimed
their independence, and the gospel OF
human liberty was celebrated on the
Fourth of July, 1918, in historic Sa-
loniki.
This ancient city has witnessed the
waxing and waning of many nations
during its long career. 1t saw the de-
cline and fall of the great Roman
empire, the rise Of Mahomet, the pass
ing of the dreams of Charlemagne
for universal power, the fall of Ma
poleon, and will witness the dispell-
ing of the Authorizations of William
Hohenzollern.

LESS GRACE FOR LIQUOR.

Washington, July g. Prohibition
advocates in the Senate planned yes
terday to seek changes in the pending
Norris Amendment to the Emergency
Agricultural Appropriation bill so as
to prohibit the sale of whisky, wine or
beer after six months. As reported
to the Senate the Norris amendment
prohibits the sale or withdrawal from
bond of distilled spirits and the manu-
facture Of wine, except for export,
after June 80, 1919. 1t would forbid
the manufacture of beer three months
after approval by the President.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, Sena-

prohibition leaders now want to make
the period six months for all intoXi-

convenes.

THE ANGELUS

The Senate yesterday passed a reso-
luton requesting the President to Is
sue a proclamation calling on the
American people tc observe noon
prayer during the war.
aAnd he spake parble unto them
that men should always pray and not
to faint" are the words of the Great
Teacher. Most people upon the earth
act upon this truth. 1t may be ne
2 elected at times when the tide in oar
affairs is high, but, sooner or later,
every son Of Adam turns his eyes up
ward and asks help from powers
above us.
The suggestion that ut this critical
time we turn our thoughts heaven
ward at noon is timely, and there is
no reason why Alexandrians cannot
act upon the resolution which has inst
been passed by the United States
Senate. Unlike Mahometan countries,
I there are no muezzins in cur city 10
ecend church cdifices and turn to
each point of the compass and SUM-
mon the faithful to prayer, but there
is hardly an inhab;tant who is not
aware of the coming CT high noon,
Whistles at workshops sound out TIE
midday hour, while the watches ant!
clocks are everywhere.
The power Of prayer is often mani
fest not only in the history Of individ-
uals but among nations. Probably
the most plain instance was that Of
ancient Nineveh. Jonah is told to 20
to that great city and cry against it.
He attempted to evade his duty, but
finally reached the city--a foreigner
and tramp reacher. He began TO
cry, "Yet forty days and Nineveh
shall be destroyed The people from
the king down to the humblest sub
ject gave heed to his words. They
sat in sack clo:h and ashes nd cried
nightly to God to save them and
their city. Their prayers were heard
and Ninevch was preserved.
There is a thought here which
should be encouraging to all.

JUPITER REDIVIVUS

A man was seen one day to stop in
front of a statue of Jupiter in 4
museum and take off his hat and bow.
A bystander approached and said:
"Why do you accord such honors to
The chief deity of Mount Olympus?'
The man replied, "Now should heath
en- mythology ever become popular
again on this earth | would have a
friend among the gods"
A correspondent of newspaper in
a neighboring city suggests that Jup!-
ter should be honored as he was in the
days Of Pericles. While he does not
recommend that we erect a statue Of
the deity akin to that which was in
the temple at Olympia, he thinks that
the worship of the Greek god should
be followed in all civilized countries.
Among other things he says:
q great many arguments are
heard today for and against religion.
Would it not be good idea if it were
brought under one head? This could
he done with the aid Of astrology.
Churches and races are numerous, but
there is only one Jupiter. What i:
students of theology were taught as
trology, would it not attract more
people to church? Yes, and produce
better prophets than what lived in
the Dark Ages. Because of the won
derful instruments man has made all
prophecies will be facts. Learned
theoiogians admit change must come
as the benches are getting emptier
all the time. We are living in stern
reality. The preachers must not feel
distant in questions that work for
the welfare of the community. would
advise since England wrest.i Jerusa-
lem from the Turks, to establish a
church there under one head. Same
should be called Metropolitan, whose
influence would be greater than all
ether religions combined. When thus
established its power would stop all
attempts to form new sects, which,
to my opinion, is detrimental to faith.
Astrology has been used and recog-
nized by Thales, Aristoles and other
learned men, who were not ashamed
TO admit it,

At this time, over half century
after the unfortunate conflict between
the North and the South, and while

list opposition to government meas

Scheidemann's action is regarded as
important, as it was the first time in
the war that the majority socialists
refused to vote for the government
