The final test of all religious

ters spoke of what they taught

is an unfortunate one to come
from the lips OF a liberal-minded

means nothing.
All these groups without church
buildings have been teaching
what M. Coue is teaching, only
they are doing it in a different
way. All Of them connect their
theories with the Infinite.
All of them pay for announce
ments in the papers. SO they are
not clandestine. It is all out in
the open, and each Of them with
a literature telling what, where
and how. If the critic referred to
the quality of the teaching. then
he is only saying about these
groups what the larger groups
have always said about his own
group, which had a long, hard
fight for recognition as q Chris
tian denomination.
Jesus healed the sick, and He
said that His disciples would do

TN the nineteenth century, a
little man caused Europe to
tremble. In the fifth cen

ure terrified the world.
This man was short, but very
strongly built. He had a flat
head, wide-spreading nostrils and
piercing eyes. But he was
great general and a fearless lead
er. He held his men in super
stitious subsection. He was be-
lieved to be the possessor Of the
sword of the war god Mars. His
Kingdom extended from the Rhine
to the borderland Of China.
This short, yet majestic and i'm
posing man, was known as 1.-THE
Fear of the World and the
Scourge of God" His name, was
Attila. the Hun.
Attila's name and deeds were
on all lips. He had defeated
armies right and left. Rome
trembled for fear he would head
south and threaten her security.

quered all of the Roman territory
in the vicinity OF Constantinople.
Thrace and Illyria had fallen

perhaps his attention would not
have been directed so soon to
the western empire.
At this time living in Constan-
tinople was a young woman
named Honoria. She was the
daughter of Constantine the Third
and sister of the Roman Emperor
Valentinian.
Valentinian ruled in Rome. It
was there that his sister, the
Princess Honoria, went to visit
him.

cious girl, being bored generally
and wishing to free herself from

She would write letter to Attila.
Little did she dream what ter

Europe when she wrote to the

as a modern girl might write to
some popular screen idol.
Honoria boldly sent her ring to
Attila with her letter. In her let
ter she offered him her hand in
marriage and openly invited him
to claim her as his bride.
Whether or not The Scourse
Of God" used Honoria's challenge
as an excuse. or whether he was
really interested in seeing the
Roman princess, is not known.
But it is known that following
the receipt Of Honoria's letter and
ring Attila demanded a part of
the Roman empire as a dover of
his possible bride. To this Valen.
tinian objected.
1t was then that Attila crossed
