A IX-LA-CHAPELLE is the city of
Charlemagne, soldier, statesman
and founder of the German empire, the
man who changed tribes Of lawless bar
barians into civilized people. And when
he died, in 8l4, his body was placed In
sitting position In La Chapelle, which
he had built few years previous and
which now forms part OF, the structure
Of the present cathedral.
The church at AK was frankly de-
signed as q tomb for Charlemagne, and
that. perhaps, accounts for the COM
bining of the rotunda Of ceremonial
edif1ce with that Of basilica intended
solely for worship. Part of 1t was un-
doubtedly the work Of the Comacine
builders whom Charlemagne brought
from Italy. and part is nothing more
than an importation or adoption Of
classical and Byzantine adornments.
That portion OF the present cathedral
at AK which was built by Charlemagne
is the octagonal projection toward the
east. 1t forms truly regal mausoleum
and for 1900 years has well stood the
march of time. It was supposed to have
been the most magnificent church
edifice in Charlemagne's era throughout
all Europe. though 1t was seriously in
jured by an earthquake a few years
after its completion, by plunderings of
the French and by disastrous fires in
the twelfth, thirteenth and seventeenth
centuries. The granite and porphyry
columns which support the arches Civ
ing upon the interior Of the octagon
were once stolen by the French and

carried to Paris, but were later taken
back and returned to their positions.
The appearance Of the cathedral
from the outside is most curious. since
the erections and additions of later
centuries have not been symmetrical.
There is tall, modern spire. which Is
not exactly q harmonious addition: and
the slate roof over the octagon Is prob
ably not conducive to great beauty.
There are numerous rare and valuable
relics in the cathedral. The chief OF
these is q hagstone, which, bearing the
simple words Carolo Magno. is supposed
to cover the actual burial place OF
Charlemagne. Above this is a mag
nificent chandelier. the gift Of the EN-
peror Friedrich Barbarossa. Most OF
the kings and queens who were crowned
at AK presented articles Of value to the
sacristy. The most magnificent Of these
is o sarcophagus In Parian marble.
representing the Rape Of Prosperine."
The marble chair on which Charlie
magne was found sitting in his tomb,
and upon which the German emperors
were crowned, is yet to be seen.
The cathedral Is wonderful for its
antiquary and charming to all who
come within its spell: furthermore, 1t
forms q shrine for the hero-worshipers
of the great man who commenced its
construction. The sword and scepter
and all that was mortal Of the great
Charlemagne are gone, but his memory
still lives in an enduring monument in
the cathedral.

Dr.. Hugh r. Stevenson.

seeking to break his treaty agreements.
Isaiah had opposed making the treaties
with Assyria, and now he tried by every
possible means to prevent the national
authorities breaking the treaty under
the influence of Egyptian diplomatic
promises. Isaiah pointed out the folly
of their trusting Egypt to assist them.
He sought by every means to prevent
that suicidal policy.
When they were reaping the results
Of their folly and the mighty Senna-
cherib with his conquering forces were
outside Jerusalem's wall, Isaiah urged
the panic stricken people to BE not
afraid" His confidence in Jehovah's
protection was justified The great con-
queroPewas defeated by the miraculous
interference OF Jehovah. The seige was
lifted and the great army retired.
Isaiahs prayers were answered, when
Hezekiah was stricken and expected to
die. He was warned OF his rapidly APP
preaching end. Then Jehovah heard the
prayers of the King, the people and the
prophet, and Isaiah was commissioned
years. He confirmed this assurance with
a miracle as sign OF, Its truthfulness.
Isaiah was the seer of God. He was
His spokesman. He was great prophet,
preacher and poet. His messages rank
with those of the worlds leading states
men. He formulated principles Of gov
eminent that are recognized today In
international affairs. The great states
man taught the principles of religion
and Righteousness. He held that the
nation would last In accordance with its
loyalty to God. Righteousness exalts
nation and sin is reproach to any
people. We can only exist as q people
by following in our national and in
ternational life the principles of Isaiah.
We cannot, serve God and mammon.
Unless America determines to seek
and to do the will of God, we will find
that our country will follow in the foot
steps Of the other nations. who forgot
God and His will. Our Lord has q mis-
sion for every one of us, as well as our
country He Is calling us now. VIII We

the passion Of Gods children TO know
and do what He desires.
q. A careful reading Of the Old Tes-
lament shows that Israel from the very
beginning, starting with Adam and Eve.
that their prophets were constantly re-
buking them for their many shortcom-
ings. Why. then, were the Israelites
selected to be the chosen people Of God,
while the Gentle nations, which did
not have the knowledge Of spiritual
matters commonly accredited to the
Hebrews, were totally ignored?
A. Israel was the winner In the
Olympic race for leadership in religion
because her elect souls showed unique
and unequaled capacity for the spir-
itual Interpretation Of life. She had
serious defects and her backslidings
are faithfully recorded by her annal-
lists. But Notwithstanding these grew
Gus hindrances and the vicissitudes OF
the sacred nation, she steadily rose to
majestic conception Of the unity and
holiness Of God, which has nodded the
highest ideals Of our civilization.
The ardent patriotism Of the Jew, his
marked power Of concentration, his
amazing fortitude In the severest trials
and his passion for the unseen COM
bined to constitute him Jehovah's her
aid and ambassador to mankind.
Other nations have not been entirely
ignored. The Babylonian, the Egyptian,
the Roman, the Greek and the Hindu
peoples offer abundant testimony to the
contrary. They were generously en-
dowed both In the Intellectual and
moral realms. But they missed the way
to the chief treasury Of the eternal.

also distributed its priceless gifts to the
race at large.
@. What Is the meaning Of the six
tenth verse of the First EpiStle Of st.
John, chapter 5, which refers to the
sin which should not be prayed for?
A. This statement of st. John con-
corning "a sin unto death" has given
rise to much discussion. The best in
depreciation Of 1t is to be found in such
New Testament passages as Hebrews,
Wits and x.26-3i. In the former pas
sage the author regards those who are
guilty OF apostasy as beyond the posi-
bility Of q renewal unto repentance.
since they cruelty themselves the Son
of God afresh and put Him to an open
shame"
Both st. John and the author Of the
Epistle to the Hebrews regarded certain
forms Of heresy as fatal to the soul.
Though they do not definitely say so,
the context makes it evident that this
sin unto death is apostasy from Christ,
resulting from the embracing Of GER
tain heretical views Of His person which
sap the foundation Of faith and obedi
ence.
st. John thought his opponents were
guilty Of this ofense, but there Is no
need for US to dogmatize about his esti-
mate. To do so puts an unnecessary
limit on the efiicacy Of Gods grace. and
also savors Of narrow intolerance for
eign to the spirit Of the Gospel.
