all the languages of western Europe.
the once glorious name of Slave or
.'Slav,' has come to express the most
degraded condition of men,
The word ''ostracize," coming from
the Greek word for SHE'LL gives us
a vivid picture of the Athenian de-
moo racy, and of the period when
oyster shells were used as ballots when
an election was held of candidates for
Punishment.
The word pagan" comes from the
Latin word pagus,' village. The
church fixes itself first in the towns
and cities of the Roman empire.
While long after these centers had ac-
cepted the true religion, superstitions
and idolatries fingered on in the OBJ
scure hamlets and villages, so that
''pagans," or Villagers" came to be
terms applied to all who held to the
old superstitions.
The same is true of the word
''heathen." When the Christian faith
found its way into Germany the wild
dwellers on the heath were the last
to accept it.
When a Scotchman speaks of his
'shacklebone, he not only conveys an
idea of his wrist. but discovers by this
very term that slavery continued so
long in Scotland as to impress itself
indelibly on the language of the coun-
