THE CROSS

THIS is the week when men and women ev-
erywhere in the Christian world grow
4 thoughtful of the Cross and all it signife s.
1t seems timely that there be reprinted on thi
page little sermon taken from the small volume
of Everyday Sermons which were written by DI
James E. Freeman for the Minneapolis Tribune
while DR.. Freeman was still resident of Mime
apolis.
Writing to an early church, the Apostle Paul
declared that ''The preaching of the Gross is 10
them that perish, foolishness but unto us who
are saved it is the power of God"
Originally an instrument of torture and a
badge of infamy and shame, the Gross has been
lifted into place of pre-eminence and distinction
as the symbol of salvation. Today thirty ma
lions, provinces and cities use the Cross as sym
tol upon their state and national standards, AMI
in our own navy there is but flag that ever
flies above the national coors upon our men-of-
war--it is the little flag with the white cross
upon it that breaks from the maintop when divine
service is held for Uncle Sans sailors.
"To those who have apprehension of the
significance of the Cross and it's relation to their
lives. it must seem as foolishness but to those
who recognize that it is the conspicuous symbol
of the worlds faith in Him who crucified
thereon, it stands for salvation and the triumph
of character. After all, it is not some remote
and far-away symbol but intimate and eve.
present one. Said German poet;
"The Cross in Golgotha can
never save thy soul,
The Cross in thine heart
alone can make thee whole"
'To the man or woman who has accepted
this divine standard that witnesses AT once to
sacrifice and service, it means power-the I'M
parted power of the worlds Redeemer. Wherever
we may go, in any part of the civilized. world
there this holy symbol has its place. 1t is wrough.
the badge of imperial honor. Round the world
for the days of this week. in every language
there will be sung and said the mighty message
that the Cross teaches Again mankind will bow
in lowly reverence before the uplifted Christ IN
fulflment Of His spoken word; Il, ii l be
lifted up will draw all men unto me-
HAS there ever been time when the Cross
has meant more to humanity than it does today !?
Before it selfshness and self-interest give place
to sacrifice and service. No man or woman who
recognizes this divine symbol but must assume
the obligations it implies 1t is in the spirit OF
this masterful symbol of the faith, yes, it is In
the presence of Him who is the highest approx
imation to mankind of all that is divine and holy,
that we PROSTATE ourselves again. and with hearts
rendered sensattive to its high claims, we re-
dedicate ourselves to the service of the lowiy
Nazarene, and reconsecrate ourselves TO an un7
selfish service to fellows.

RullfghtinC. which is declining Ia
favor with the Spuniards, was once a
popular sport in ENGLAND, though in u
somewhat different form. 1t has only
been forbidden by law within the last
hundred years
The bull was tied to stake after
having the points of its horns protect
ed. Fierce dogs were let loose on 1t,
and terrific battle would ensue Bull
dogs were bred specially for the sport
lAeir peculiar jaws gave a grip SO
strong that the bull could not throw
off its attackers once their teeth had
net in its shoulder.
Bear-haiting. too, was popular at one
time. Both Queen Mary and Queen
Elizabeth We're fond of bear-baitings
and bullfights. Great men kept rings"
and there was one in nearly every
place of amusement. "Bankside" was
q noted place for the sport" in Lon
don. The charge for admission was n
penny to enter, another penny to go in
the grand stand" and a third penny
for the equivalent of reserved seats.
Thursdays and Sundays were the ia
vorite days for batting bears and bulls
AT one time the theaters were ordered
to close down on the former day so
that competition should not interfere

GOLFER DRAGON OF BEFFROl
Tweive-Foct Weather Vane in Client
Celebrates Its Five Hundred and
Forty Sixth Anniversary.

The Copper Dragon of Beffroi. In
Client, has just celebrated its five
hundred and forty sixth birthday on
the top of its lofty perch on the Beff-
ro, over 300 feet above the ground. It
Is six feet in height and eleven and
one-haIf feet in length, measured from
Tie rip of its enormous tongue to the
end of its tail.
The copper grasshopper atop
Fanenil hall, Boston. was designed by
Shem browne. a coppersmith of colo
NAL days. Over $50 years old, it has
had an interesting history, being pres
ent at the Boston tea party and hav-
ing survived two earthquakes.
Perhaps the public tired of gauging
the wind by the weather report in
next days newspaper; or perhaps the
ornamental possibilities of this new
idea in vane design have given new
FLIP to the use Of this time honored
institution. Whatever the reason, the
weather vane is coming back.

Water Lily Eighteen Inches Across.

Perhaps the most remarkable Of the
aquatic plants is the giant water lily
known to science as the "Victoria
regia." II is native of Guiana and
Brazil. Large, spreading leaves seem
to float on the water though in reality
their vast green surface is supported
by a strong underwater framework of
twisted tissues. The leaves, which are
often over six feet in diameter with q
rim of three to eight inches high, can
support considerable weight. The
nlant bears immense white flowers
"ften measuring IS inches across.
which greatly resemble huge daisy.
They open in the evening. The seeds
Of the Victoria regia are edible. For
this reason ii is extensively cultivated
in the Amazon valley.-DetrOit News
