Of the four bouts went to fourth
round and they were lost by the
merest margin of points.

debut in the ring last month. won
for the second time over worthy
opponent. Great interest centers
around this 160-pounder He handles
himself like professional and has
won the admiration of the entire

Those who have seen him in

=. new conner to the team. He In
/ not a polished fighter and needs
Ito get some weight off before ne
| will be in shape. His greatest
/ difficulty is to slow up his action
in the ring. He fights so fast
| and furious during the first two
rounds that he weakens himself
| from sheer exhaustion by the time
the third rolls around. He has
! been working on the theory ur

were enabled to celebrate right royalty
their victories. So scandalouS indeed
was this banquet that the worthy Fray
Bartolome de Olivedo, chaplain to
Cortez. preached a most vigorous SER
mon at them on the ensuing Sunday,
admoniShing the whole company to do
penance. In Coyoacan may still be
seen the house where Cortez dwelt, the
arms of the conqueror craven over the
main doorway, and in his will he en-
dowed a college in the same city for
the education of the missionaries to
preach the Gospel among the natives;
also a convent for nuns.
Many are the legends Of Cortez that
abound here. Not a storytelling old
man or old woman in the town but has
a number of them. In the churchyard
of the present church is stone cross
set upon a little mound, which tradi-
ton declares was a place of worship
in primitive times: and tradition fur
Their declares that the cross was planted
here by Cortez.
Although the present church of San
Juan Badtista can scarcely be the one
in which good Fray Bartolome brought
the unruly captains to task in that
vigorous sermon, since the craving of
the facade tells us that it was built in
1888, it nevertheless dates its founda-
ton to very early period. 1t is a
large and imposing structure, and to-
gether with the Dominican Monastery
connected with it, was founded by the
eminent Fray Domingo de VetanzoS
probably about the year 1880.

COYOACAN, more than any other
~ Mexican city, is associated with
the name of Fernando Corte5. Older
than the city of Mexico itself, 1t was
here that CorteZ made his headquarters
during the memorable siege Of the old
Aztec capital: it was here that he re-
csived, on terrace carpeted with GRIM
son cloth, the gallant Aztec monarch,
upon the surrender of the city, and to
his vehement greeting, Il have done
all l could to defend myself and my
people. Deal with me, Malinche, as

Fear not; you shall be treated with all

like brave warrior. A Spaniard knows
how to respect valor even in an en-
envy" And sending for the wife Of the
monarch, the beautiful young daughter
of Montezlima, welded, yet scarce a
woman, he treated his royal guests with
distinguished honor and consideration.
Even at this early period Coyoacan
was no new city, for we are told that
its inhabitants deserted it on the APP
pearance of CorteZ. It was here that
the conqueror established the seat of
government, and from here that he
directed the laying out of the present
city of Mexico. In commemoration of
the victory which they had aided him
to achieve, he gave a great banquet to
his captains, and it is said that a ship

Sunday School Lesson
BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

spiritual life has become stagnant and
our profesSed religious life has become
the source of danger to others as well
as to ourselves.
Success Disappoints Prophet.
Jonah was disappointed at the sue
cessful results that followed his preach
ing to the NineviteS the certainty of
their destruction. He had probably
cited his experience in being saved as
evidence of his authority to proclaim
their approaching destruction. The
trace of racial and national prejudice
remained with him for he was peeved
when the city did not fall as he had
declared that it would. He had taken
position, where he could watch its
fall, hoping for the citys complete
destruction.
Jehovah cured the perversed, peeved
and patriotic prophet by using Nature.
The preacher had enjoyed the protec-
ton of the shade of the gourd, which
was probably either a large castor oil
bean plant or palma Christi" A
worm cut its strength so that it with
cred and fell down. The disappointed
prophet was filled with discomfort and
complained until God took him in hand
and showed Jonah his folly and petit
ness. In this old story we see how God
condemns the narrow patriotism that
does not embrace other nations. Higher
patriotism calls for us to have q heart
full of love for men of other nations
and races, so that we will be willing to
help them in the development of Chris
tan character and the enlargement of
their spiritual life by supporting our
missionaries
Anatole France has pointed out that
"the hour has come when we must be
citizens of the world or see civiliza-
ton perish" Jesus has called us to be
saved that He may use us to help win
for Him a sin-cursed world. If we fail
to respond to His call to enlist in His
missionary program of kingdom work
our faith fails to meet His requirements.
Unless we take in and consider the
worlds needs We had better ascertain
II We are saved. The message of Jesus
calls for the saving of all nations and
reaching out to win every creature.
Christianity offers the world its only
hope at the present moment. 1t is wasted
and lost if we neglect to obey the Lords
commands to carry His message to sim
ful men and nations. Christian inter-
nationaliSm does not destroy national
patriotism. 1t recognizes the unity of
the race and that no nation can live
unto itself alone. Let us not forget
that the nation that will not serve God
shall perish and do our part to help
the Master win the whole world to His
program of spiritual brotherhood and
love as the principles that we all must
observe at this hour of changing ideals
and draw near to all in His name and
spirit of service.
