May Z, the anniversary of the
sinking of the Lusitania and an
official summary of, the treaty was
made public that day. 1t was also
announced that the United States
and Great Britain had pledged aid
to France against possible future
PGerman aggression. The manner
in which the Germans received
the treaty. was described as inso-
lent. Numerous German leaders
declared they would not sign it
and a week of mourning was de-
creed by the German, government,
but the decree was virtually un-
needed.
Thereafter the. German delegates
submitted various notes to the
council of four asking for conces-
sions or criticising the terms pro-
posed in the treaty as submitted to
them. On May ,16 it was announ-
ced that the German treaty would

fed by German and three of the
allied powers,
The German reply to the first
form of the peace treaty was pre-.
sented to the allied delegates on
May 28, and this was followed by
rseveral German counter proposals.
Meanwhile the Austrian dele
gates had arrived at st. German

peace treaty with Austria, ,as
drawn by the allies, was submitted

At the request Of he,German
delegation, the peace treaty was
modified in a few instances, but
not changed in substance, +, and the
revised text was submitted to the
Germans June 16 with the curt
statement that they must sign OF

tend TO TOO mucn worldly business

other ways do we desecrate bis
day, such as lounging around home
and absenting our selves from
service at his sanctuary.
A regard for God and his holy
laws is profitable in this life to
say nothing of the life to come.
When we consider the great fact
that we in this great country have
always been blessed with the light
of the. gospel and then consider
how many who are yet in rebellion
to God. aud who are becoming
more defiant, we. need not wonder
at.any thing that may be visited
upon us. Fact is, if God should
visit upon us the penalty of our
ungreteful course before him, /
| fear there would not be many of
but who would be in. fearful
condition.
Don't get excited, friend, il
some great calamity should befall
us. God will be regarded even if
he has to visit some great calamity
upon US. Don't understand me
to say that God will force us.to
worship him, bat that his depend
ant creatures who have his will
concerning them must acknowlege
that he is God and' IF they will not
do this by the bestowal of his great
love and mercy, they shall be
forced to do SO by the visitation of
just punishment, the results of
their ungratful course.
Every knee shall bow to God
and every tongue shall confess to
God.-Rome xiv il.
Why not confess him as our
God, why not bend the knee in
grateful prayer and Thanksgiving
while it will profit something? ?
Why not acknowledge his great
goodness, now?. All those great
blessings we have enjoyed in this
life have come from his bountiful
goodness. Why not then prove
ourselves grateful creatures by
obeying his holy commands?

en- idea into your mind that to re.
ceive these temporal blessings yor
can worship God. There is nc
worship that is. real worship bu'
that which flows from a gratefu

Bishop Henderson was enthusi-

HUNS AGREE TO
ALLIES TERMS

{. frGlt of about FIVE months of con-
ferences in which delegates from
thirty-two allied countries and
Z Germany participated. The five
leading nations, the United States.
Great Britain, France, Italy and.
Japan, were represented in the
peace conference at Paris by five
delegates each, while the delega-
tiens of other nationsand the Brit
Esh dominions were composed of
from one to three men. George
Ciemenceeu, premier of France,
was chairman of the conference.
At frst supreme council or a
econacil of ten was organized to
include two representatives each
from the five leading allied nations.
Subsequently this council was di-
,vided into two parts-a council of
four, composed of President Will
son and Premiers Lord George,
sClemenceau and Orlando; and a
council of foreign ministers.
The conference of the allied del
egations convened officially on
January l8 to draw up the terms
TO be submitted when completed
to the German delegation.
President Wilson had arrived
an France on December 13 and
had visited England, Italy and
parts of France.
One of the first acts of the con-
ference was to send proposal to
all Russian factions to meet on the
Princes Island to endeavor to COM
pose the Russian internalsituation,
but this plan was rejected by the
Russians. Various factions which
were disputing over territory in
diff ferent sections of Europe were
directed by the peace conference
to discontinue their conflicts.
The first step toward the actual
drafting of the treaty occurred on
January "a, when the conference
agreed to the plan for organization
of League of Nations and COM
mittee was appointed to draw up q
covenant.
BY January 80 the conference
had adopted the plan of governing
colonies and backward nations
through mandatories issued to va
,rious nations, subject to direction
and approval of the League of
Nations.
The covenant of the League of
Nations was completed February
ia. Reparation demands to be
made on Germany were approved
April IA and the Germans were
,anvited to send their delegation to
Versailles to receive the treaty.
The peace conference next con-
-sidered the treaty with Austria.
The Italian delegation insisted
upon obtaining control of the
former Austrian city of Fiume,
but on April % President Wilson
gave out a statement that Fiume
could not be given to Italy. On
the next day Premier Orlando re-
turned to Rome and for more than
a week thereafter the Italian del.
eeates were absent, but returned
ON May7 in time to participate in
the conference with the German
delegates.
A revised covenant of the League
of Nations intended to conform in
respect to the Monroe Doctrine to
objection raised in America was
adopted by the peace conference
on April %. Geneva was selected
as the seat of the league.
Shantung was disposed of on
April 80, when the council of three
voted to turn it over to the Japa-
.uese on assurance that it weuld be

is not much told us. There is, how
ever, story of her which is eXplana-

holds not little of romance.
Shortly after the battle of Bunker
Hill she heard that someone by the
name of Moor had been killed. The
anxiety and uncertainty preyed upon
her until she resolved to learn for
herself whether or not 1t was her
husband. 1t was fearfully hot and
she had to walk the distance OF about
four miles carrying her youngest
child, then about two years old, most
of the way The mental torture and
physical effort combined with the OPP
pressive heat caused an illness from
which she never recovered, Her
husband was alive but her love for
him was the indirect cause of her
death, which occurred the following
September, 1875.
