Famous Trials
PIERRE RoNAPARTE

The name Bonaparte was destined from the time of the great Napoleon, always to be. kept before the public view, and as late as 1870 a bearer of that name was tried for murder in Paris. It was Prince Pierre Bonaparte, a son of Lucien, and therefore first cousin of the reigning Emperor. He was a red-hot Republican in his opin- ions and reckless bravo in habits and temperament. After wandering over half the world and taking. part of in various revolutionary plots and insur- rections in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres Pierre finally married a daughter of working man in Paris and settled down in that city just pri- or to the anco-Pruss1an war.
 Pierre was in disfavor with the En- peror and was not allowed to visit at ms court, although he received a pen sion from Napoleon III. His chief of fense at this time was the scurrilous artlcles he contributed to various jour nals, one of which called out a sting

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
WHY WE ARE CHRISTIANS

We believe in Christ not because of any historical evidence. Ter because of any thing we have been told on authority, or because of any processes of reasoning through which we have passed, or be- cause of what we have found His to be when we desire 1D do those things which we lover before We give our hearts to Him and receive a new heart
 We believe in Him just as we believe in the sunshine. or in the warmth of the fire, or in the fragrance of flowers. We cannot answer all the difficult questions that are sometimes put to us. We dp nst profess to understand everything. But one thing we know, that Christ helps us when we seek His help. that he saves Us from sin when we look to Him, that He en- ables us to endure and to overu5me when we are sorely tried. That Is the best of all arguments as far as we ourselves are concerned
