their fellow-exiles in Leyden, they,
too, determined to seek new homes
in the New World. The Dutch West
India Company granted them the
privilege of settlement in the vast
district claimed by the Netherlands
as result Of the explorations of Hen
ry Hudson, and they set sail in the
"Nieu Nederland" to found what
proved to be the first permanent HUI
guenot colony in America. Two ear
lier attempts made in 1862 by the
great Huguenot leader Admiral de
Coligny, under Jean Ribaut. at May
port, Florida, and Paris Island,
South Carolina, were unsuccessful,
the settlement at Mayport being
wiped out by the Spaniards in 1865.
No thoughtful person today wishes
to rake up the bigotry and religious
antagonism of those bygone days, or
revive the bitterness which then ami
mated the adherents of opposite
creeds. yet we cannot ignore the fact
that through these influences great
numbers of earnest men and women
who set liberty and conscience above
personal safety and economic we'll
being, were brought to our shores
and helped to lay the foundations of
our national idealism as we'll as our
material prosperity. 1t is we'll that
we should, on the three hundredth
anniversary of their coming, recall
how fine and noble was the contribu-
tion of the Huguenots to the up
building of our nation. April q
has been set aside as "HuguenotWal-
loon Tercentenary Sunday" 1t would
be an appropriate inauguration of
the Precautionary celebrations if on
that day the churches of America
would unite in honoring the memory
of those brave spirits whose stead
fast adherence to their faith was SYM
bolized in their emblems: "The
church under the cross" and ''The
bush, burning, but not consumed"

300 TIL Anniversary
Comes On April II

The Protestant churches of Iowa
will on Sunday, April 81, commemo-
rate the Huguenot-Walloon tercente-
nary, by appropriate sermons. These
people came to the United States in
1924 and after, to escape religious
persecution in Europe.
The celebration is fostered by the
Huguenot-Walloon New Netherland
Commission, Inc, sanctioned by the
Federal Council Of Churches of Christ
IN America.
The following communication has
been sent to Protestant ministers
throughout the United States by the
commission, over the names of Chas.
&. Mcfarland, chairman, and John
Baer Stoudt. director:
"The Huguenots have taken a nota-
BILE part in the making and moulding
of our nation, as we'll as distin-
9uished place in ecclesiastical his
tory. They came bearing rich gifts,
not of money, but Of spirituality,
faith, steadfastness, fortitude and en-
ergy, and ii seems very appropriate
that on the three hundredth anniver-
sary Of the coming Of the first per
manent Huguenot colony we should
pause to remind ourselves of our debt
TO their heroism, their brave struggle
for liberty of conscience, and their
martyrdom for the faith. In these
very days of doubt and uncertainty,
of economic distress and spiritual up
heaval. it is good for us to remember
the steadfast courage in the face of
persecution, the unwavering spirit
which made the Huguenot prisoners
write on the walls of their dungeons
in France the brave word 'Resistez.'
In a leaflet enclosed in the COM
munication, the following brief his
tory of these brave people is given:
In May, 1924, a number Of notable
celebrations will take place on the
eastern coast of the United States.
First of all, the city of Albany will
observe the three hundredth anniver-
sary Of it's founding by little. group
of Walloon refugees who disembarked
at "Fort Orange" in 1924 to conquer
the wilderness and wiring living
from the rough, unbroken soil. The
state Of New York, and in fact the en-
tire middle states, will have a part in
this tercentenary, for this little col
ony of only thirty-two families were
the first permanent settlers in the
territoy then known as New Neher-
land" and embracing roughly what
are now the states of New York.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware. So much for the civic and his
toric background of the tercentenary.
The national significance of this
obscure settlement lies in the fact
that it inaugurated the Huguenot
immigration to America. The Wal
loon colonists, both French and Bel
gian, were Calvinists. For the crime
Of heresy they were prosecuted and
forced to fee to the northern prov
inces of the Netherlands, then in tho
midst of their long war of liberation
from the Spanish yoke. Inspired by
the brave adventure of the Pilgrims,

second wife OF Constantine the Great.
In the year 306 her father took her to
Gaul, where he gave her in marriage

and mother. Her devotion TO her hus-
band was such that she even sacri-
feed her fathers life to him, after dis
covering that her parent was involved
in u plot against Constantine's life.
FaustiBa has been accused of stain
ing the last years of her life by the
commission of many crimes, among
others that Of causing the death of
Crispus. the son of Constantine by a
former wife, by making false accusa-
tions against him.
Constantine revenged himself on
Faustina for having caused his sons
death by having her suffocated in
