Crime and Dreaming.

Murderers seldom dream, which is
exactly contrary to the idea that
man with crime on his mind would
usually have bad Nightmares. Of 1875
murderers carefully watched and ex-
amined, 96 seldom or never dreamed
at all. The greater the criminal the
less he dreamed.

childhood are to be saved anywhere
There can be reparation for these
deeds nowhere, either In this world
or in the world to come. The only
hope lies in such conquest over the
spirit of Germany that it may learn
the truth a; that it may understand that
today, as in time past, the only foun-
datiOn, security and stability for any
people, Germany included, is in right
eausness that above the roar Of bat
tie, the shrieking Of shells, the groans
Of the dying and the cries of little
children, the prophets Of old are call
ing in tones that the whole world and
Germany must heed, what does 1t
profit q man? What does the law re-
quire Of them but to do Justly, to love
mercy and to walk humbly with God ?"
Esprit Regenerated"
1t is not enough that the military
power Of Germany be conquered, but
the German spirit must be regenerated.
Her mind must be open to learn the
truth about her false ideals of military
power, and we, too, must learn that
try, important as that Is. We have
more than our own safety to serve
we must win peace, peace for ourselves
and peace Of the whole world-for
without world peace there can be Sc
cured peace in no part Of 1t.
