rights and the worst form of administra-
i've tyranny that its walls were stormed
and the revolution started which so
changed the face Of Continental Europe.
In the wars which followed, and in
which the safety of France from foreign
invasion was involved, the mobiles fought
shoulder to shoulder with fellow country
men of the humblest origin. 1t was not
that they were in love with the revolu-
tionary regime, or with that of the first
Napoleon. But the fate of France and
the honor of her flag were at stake.
1t was SO in the war of 1870. and 1t
has been thus in the conflict that has been
raging for the most part on the soil Of
France for the last four years. All polit-
zeal antagonism, no matter how bitter, as
well as all party and personal feuds, have
been abandoned for the nonce. There has
been a coalition, not alone of the poiiti
clans, but of the entire nation.
To-day there is not a single house of
the old aristocracy which is not mourning
With pride the loss of one OF more of its
members, who have given their lives since
August, 1914. In every one of the great
clubs in Paris, the Union, the Agricole,
the Jockey, &C., there have been set up
two marble tablets, on one of which are
inscribed in letters of gold the names of
those members who have been killed, while
the other reserved for the names of those
who have won official recognition by
deeds of heroism. They are called the
Tables of Honor"
The lists are very long, especially those
of the dead. In some instances names of
fathers and sons are to be found on the
same Table of Honor, and in other cases
The sun., 1918-09-01

however, the counterpart Of the Amerlcan
independence Day, is July IA, the ami
yersary of the fall of the Bastile. 1t is
holiday in the observance of which all
Frenchmen now join, no matter what their
political leaningSor their birth. There is
no reason why this should not be the case.
For the French have always been much
more united at heart than has been under
stood abroad. This union always comes to
the fore in hours of national danger, when
patriotism calls for the sinking of all
petty disputes and factional differences
it has sometimes been styled the ''Union
Saere,' the sacred union, and never has
it been so much in evidence as during the
present war.
The destruction of the Bastile was not
due to any particular hostility Of the
masses in France toward the aristocracy,
as some on this side of the Atlantic seem
10 believe, or even against the reigning
house. 1t was a popular protest against
the intolerable despotism of tyrannieal
ministers of state, unrestrained by the
most kindly monarch who ever occupied
a French throne and whose one shortcom-
ing was his weakness. The Bastile, as
Ambassador Jusserand pointed out in his
speech at the great celebration Of Frances
rational holiday in Madison Square on
The July IA last, was not a prison for the
ordinary citizen, for the bourgeoisie, or for
the masses, but solely for the mobiles.
And it was to release the mobiles held in
captivity there that the people of Paris,
especially the working classes, tore the
gloomy pile to pieces. 1t was because tine
Bastile represented in the eyes of the ma
tiCn the most glazing defiance of civic

WARM THE HOLY LAND.

dispatches today tell Us Of the cap
ture of Nazareth byt tHF allies. Re
Gently Jerusalem was wrested from
the Turks who had misruled the Getty
of the Great King" for centuries.
Eighteen thousand prisoners were
taken in Nazareth and one Hundred
and twenty gums.
The Saviour of Mankind was reared
in Nazareth. 1t must have been q
village in His day, as it is mentioned
only in the New Testament, and
seems to have been unknown until
some of the church fathers in the
early days OF the Christian era began
TO write about it.
1t has often been suggested that one
of the outcoines of the present war
may be the revival Of the Kingdom Of
Judea. Zionists have for the last half
century been anticipating this to
them great desideratum.
We are living in Il day of wonderful
and startling transitions. While a
large percentage Of the followers OF
the Man of Nazareth suggest that the
restoration OF the Kingdom Of Judea
vii! net be to accomplished literally
but in 4 spiritual sense, equally as
many more believe in Il literal -esto
ration Of the Jews into their own land.
Jerusalem is in possession Of the
friends Of the Sons Of Abraham, as is
also the city in which Jesus Christ
spent the thirty years Of the time he
tabcrnacled with men.

"THOU SHALL NOT KILL

In pursuance Of announcemet, Rev.
pr. John Lee Allison, pastor OF
The Second Presbyterian Church in
This city, last night delivered an ad-
dress on the commandment "Ihoa
shalt not kilt"
The doctor, among other things,
said the words should be rendered
aThou shalt do no murder" and that
the revised version SO translated the
commandment. He showed the differ
ence between murder and killing IN
carnage, which it is unnecessary to
reproduce, as it must be apparent TO
every one that there is a material dit
ference.
A few days ago, at a meeting 81
clefgyriieen in Philadelphia, one doctor
Of divinity read a paper afralgnmg
the churches for inetficiency in not
). saving the world from this war, and
the Following paragraph is attributed
t6 KIN:
TIE war grows out Of 4 wrong state
Of mind of the people, and this raises
the fundamental question: Could not
the churches have created state OF
mind which would have made war i'm
possible There is a failure some
where, and it is useless to try to blink
the facts. The churches have failed
to create Christian state of mind IN
the peoples under their tutelage. They
have failed to give The nations a
strong and wise leadership. Surely
1900 years is long enough for the
Churches to have understood some of
the things of Christ, and to have gone
: some distance toward the Kingdom,
of God.
Z The paragraph that we quote Loo s
very much as if this teacher Of reli-
gion and morals were unable to distin-
guish between the highwaymen, the
srave,er whom he assaulted, and The
policeman who overpowered him.
They were all fighting together, and
fighting is unchristian, and the fight
was due to the fact that their pastor:
had not taught them properly.
Our ministers generally-the essay
list from whom we have quoted seems
to be an exception--are patriotic
enough to Shout loudly for the Unitet
Sta,es. But I'VE earnestly hope that
any minister of the gospel who feels
mo,:d to talk about the war wi!
clearly fix in his mind the relative
moral positions Of the highwayman
tne traveller and the policeman.

KILLED AND WOUNDED"

In glancing over file of the Alex
andria Gazette of 1861 we read the
following, doubtless written by the
elder Snowden, who edited the paper
at that time. He was pathetic
writer. It evidently reflected his anx-
ieties. he having i son who, while
not carrying a gun, was on many bat
tlefields during the four years con
fict.

but little space in the columns of the

held stories and biographies are every
one of these strange names we read

is as, dear as life, and some heart is
struck or broken by the Blow made by
