NOTE ON THE DEATH OF CUCHULLAIN

TO relate the death OF CuchuI-
lain must have taxed the in
genuity of the ancient story-tel-
lers With his valor. his capacity
and accomplishment, his immense
prestige and his semi-divine
origin he is, like Achilles. all but
invincible The difficulties are
alladmirably solved The prestige
of being Cuchullain's slayers is
divided between two heroes. his
death is led up 10 by sorcery; his
own generosity helps towards his
destruction With the death Of
Cuchullain the heroic age passes,
but heroes are left whose stories
have TO be told. one famous hero

bar was coming near and the
armies Of Ere and Levy drew
back. Levy taking the head OF
Cuchullain in his chariot. And
far in advance of Concobar's
army, in the chariot drawn by
his steed. Dewy Red. Conall
Cearnach, Conan the Victorious,
sped. y
A bond had been between him
and Cuchullain. If he should
be slain first. Cuchullain would
avenge him. if Cuchullain should
be slain first. he would avenge
Cuchullain. AS ne sped on he
came upon Cuchullain's chariot
with Laeg dead beside it and he
knew that his comrade had been
slain The headless body against
the pillar-stone Conan Cearnach
found; he went on the track Of
the chariot that went from it.
AS for Levy, when he came
to the Liffey he went TO battle,
ordering his charioteer TO keep
watch
"A chariot is coming towards
us" warned the charioteer. Fur
iously it comes. The sods flung
by the horses hooves speckle

That steed is no other than
Dewy Red said Levy as he
armed himself 'Unwelcome is

But Conall Cearnach did not
speed past He saw Lewy's chart
oteer. He called out:
Il am one who claims a com
bat on account Of the Staying of
a comrade"
"He is a creditor whose claim
must be met" said Levy. and
he went to Conall Cearnach. Il
wish TO have a warriors pledge

What pledge ," Conall asked
That thou shouldst use only
one hand against me seeing that
this hand is wounded"
1T shall be as you ask" said
Conall Cearnach. With one hand
bound he fought with Levy and
neither prevailed. Then Dewy

charioteer and warrior also. And
he drove through the ranks.
Fling thou the spear" said
the second Druid to Ere, son Of
Cairbry. Remember thy fathers
death and fling the spear"
Ere flung it and the spear
pierced the Grey Of Macha Down
Cuchullain's steed dropped, and
Cuchullain himself was flung
from the chariot
"A king, you said, would fall
through that spear" said Ere,
1T is as l have said" said the
second Druid, "the king of the
chariot steeds of Ireland falls
beneath it."
Farewell, Grey of Macha
whom l snatched from the inn
mortal folk, cried Cuchullain,
farewell. my comrade who bore
me so wisely for so long"
He cut his way through the
warriors towards where Ere and
Levy and the Druids were stand
ing.
Take this spear" said the
third Of the Druids. And as you
fling it, remember Curors end"
And so Levy took the spear
and flung it at Cuchullain. The
spear pierced him Without his
chariot, without his charioteer,
without the Grey Of Macha,
Cuchullain leaned upon his shield
and then drew the spear from
his body.
THE king Of the heroes Of
Ireland falls through that spear"
the Druids who were the three
sons Of Calatin chanted together.
When Ere and Levy came TO
him, Cuchullain said Il would
fain go to the loch to drink"
I'VE give thee leave" said Ere
and Levy provided thou dost
come back to us"
Il will call TO you to come
for me if 1 am not able to re-
turn" said Cuchullain.
Then tightening his girdle
about him, he went towards the
loch He drank of the water;
he washed himself The armies
of Ere and Levy delayed to see
what his purpose was They
would not get far into Muir
thevna, Cuchullain thought, for
the army of Concobar must be
near. Once more. single-handed,
he had saved his province.
In my boyhood." Cuchullain
told himself, II swore by the
gods that my people swear by
that would make my deeds be
spoken of amongst the great
deeds Of heroes in their strength"
He saw a pillar-stone on the
plain. He went to IL and put
his girdle around it so that he
might be held upright. His foes
saw that the rays that were the
hero's light were still around his
forehead.
Then they were seen no more.
Levy went TO him. The sword
that was in his hand fell and
wounded Lewy's hand, Then with
Cuchullain's sword, Levy cut off
Cuchullain's head
But now the army OF CONGO

his sword and his spear and
limbs and bodies were on the
plain of Muirthevna. Cuchullaiu
stood beside his chariot ready 10
battle again but hopeful that the
army Of Concobar would threaten
the armies before him.
A Druid came 20 him.
"A gift from thee TO me.
Cuchullain!"
What gift?"
n spear of thy two spears"
Il am not bound TO grant more
than one request this day Al
ready l have paid for mine
honor"
For your honor but not for
the honor of your province, IN
less you give me the spear /
shall revile Ulster. and all men
for all time viii remember the
verses I make"
Little enough of life remains
to me, and Ulster shall not be
dispraised through fault of mine"
With that he cast the second
spear towards the Druid, the
butt-end before. Nine men be-
hind him were killed.
The Druid took up the spear.
"A king shall be slain by this"
Ere and Levy heard him.
"Laeg, my friend" said Cuchul-
lain, I'VE have only my sword
and spear your skill and dar-
ing, and the vigor of the Grey
Of Macha for the defense of
Muirthevna So let us go for
ward.
Then as the armies of Ere and
Levy began their advance Laeg
drove the chariot and Cuchullain
cut down their foremost fighters.
Then he drew away from the bat
tie, and Laeg gave him 10 drink
from the vessel that his foster
mother left with them "A little
while now" he said to Laeg and
the army of Concobar should be
here"
A Druid came before him. "A
gift from thee to me, Cuchul-
lain"
Il have paid for my honor
twice tedayy," c4iehHlllaiH said
Unless I have gift from
thee I will revile thy race. All
men for all time will remember
the verses I make"
My race shall never be de-
famed. What gift would you
have ?"
Thy spear, Cuchullain"
The last spear he had Cuchul-
lain flung towards him Nine men
in the ranks were slain by that
cast.
This is grace with wrath,
Cuchullair, said the Druid as he
took up the spear "a king shall
be slain with it." he said.
Then the three Druids with the
three spears that were Cuchul-
lain's went TO Ere and to Levy.
Their armies stood, shields linked
together as Cuchullain in his
chariot dashed towards them.
The eldest of the Druids, who
were the sons Of Calatin. flung
the spear. 1t struck Laeg,
Cuchullain's charioteer.
Thou didst say a king would
fall by that spear" Ere said
ut shall be as said"
answered the eldest Druid The
king Of the charioteers Of Ireland
falls by it."
Bitterly have been wounded"
Laeg cried, and fell backward in
the chariot.

Arthur l.. Salmon

He lays his head upon my knee,
He looks with deep pathetic eyes;
| question and he answers me
With eloquence of mute replies.
A well of love that brimmeth DER,
A soul of utter faithfulness-
No truest human heart has more,
So many human hearts have less.
We speak Of love that is more strong
Than death, of love that cannot
die,
That weakens not with change or
wrong
Nor drops beneath a clouded
sky.
This very love of which we speak
That never shrinks with doubt
or fear,
That alters not for within or freak
That very perfect love is here.

HISTORIC MURDER


OWE hundred and ten years age,
~ d man was murdered and as
direct result Of that crime we now
have, every four years, national
conventions Of delegates from ev-
cry state and territory in the Union
to nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and vice president. Here's
how it came about:
In 1925 William Morgan Of Ba-
taVia, N. Y, published d book
which prported to reveal the Sc
crets of Freemasonry. Soon aftor-
wards he disappeared and the Ma
sons were not only accused OF hav-
ing kidnapped him and drowned him
in the Niagara river but also Of
blocking q proper investigation Of
his disappearance. From western
New York, opposition to the Ma
sons spread to other states and
several demag0gIc young politi-
clans, among them ThurloW Weed
and William H. Seward Of New
York and Thaddeus Stevens Of
Pennsylvania, seized upon the
movement to promote their OVID
ambitions.
The result was the organizat ton
Of the AntiMasonc party and in
September, 1880, the first Anti-Ma-
sonic convention, the first national
convention of any party, was held
IN Philadelphia, attended by 96 del
egates from ten states. 1t vas
decided to hold another conven-
ton the next year to nominate can
didates for President and vice-pres-
ident and this meeting was to be
composed Of as many delegates.
from each state as there were rep
resentatives in both houses of con-
gress.
Accordingly in September, 1881,
the convention was held in Balti-
more and it nominated for Presi-
dent William Writ OF Maryland,
who had been attorney-gencral in
Monroe's cabinet, and fol- vice
president Amos Ellmaker of New
York. In the election OF 1882 these
candidates won only the electoral
vote Of Vermont Later this party
was absorbed by the Wings and lost
its identity, except in Pennsylvania
where it elected a governor in 1885
and continued as a separate party
for few years.
But during the Anti-Masonic par
tvs short existence it had pointed
the way for others to follow in the
method Of choosing candidates. +
gave them the national nominating
convention and while convention
procedure has since been changed
in many ways, from that day to
this the fundamental principle upon
which it was based has remained
unchanged-democratic representa-
ton of the party constituency.

III. Who and Who Not to Invite
for Dinner wv. 12-14.
Is the Lord interested in such a
matter as that? Indeed He isl Ev-
erything about life concerns Him,
and, as matter of fact, this is a
very important point. Here an at
titude toward life is revealed which
is vital and fundamental
Hospitality is a virtue highly re-
garded by the Bible (see such pas
sages as Rom. 1918; l Tim. 80;
Titus 1:8; | Pet. 4:9). To debase it
by asking only those whom we ex-
pect will ask US in return, is really
to destroy it. 1t is not hospitality
at all to limit our invitations to
those who invite us. Obviously we
are not to cut them off simply be-
cause they do ask us. That is not
the point. We are not to let that be
the controlling factor.
Ask those who cannot pay you
back, if you really want to get a
blessing out of it. There is so much
need in the world that we who fol-
low Christ have little time to spend
merely entertaining those who have
no need God will recompense. DR..
]. w. Bradbury in The Gist of the
Lesson we'll says, There is a good
reason not to seek recompense here;
there are more enduring and valu-
able recompenses hereafter (Matt.
GIG, 1919. When we get no rec
ompense here for the good we do.
we ought rather to rejoice than be
sad. 1t assures better recompenss
hereafter"
He goes on to say, 1.-THE profess.
ing church has often followed the
worlds method rather than Christ's
(James 2:1-6)." Sad--but true.
What shall we do about it?

So fast have the CounciImanic
candidates been popping up that
we have lost count, but it's a
forty-to-one shot that the next
Council will still be Democratic.
That might be sticking out my
neck, but for the first time in
many, many years the Donkey
Boys are really being represented
by strong hopefuIs, while the
GOPite candidates just don't seem
to be interested in getting into the
fight.

PERIODIC HEALTH

DR.. Riley Advises Every
One To Have An Ann

Advising each individual to have

Riley, Director Of the State Depart
ment of Health said:
while the physical fitness Of
the men called out in the present
draft, shows great Improvement
over that Of many of the men OK
amined in the last draft. the high
percentage of reflections among the

and shows strikingly the need of

sources to a bank account, Dr.
Riley said: IF YOU have not had

blllties that leave us with little
or the necessary reserve.
| This is especially true of
: groWn-ups. The health accounts of
young children and of growing bows
ana girls are checked up, regularly
through the child health conferences
and through the protective health
services in the schools. But the re-
Jectlons among the draftees show
the importance of balancing the
health account for all grown-uns
uhose we speak of as younger
generation as we'll as for those
who are getting on in years.
Fortunately, so far as tho
drattees are concerned many of the
disabilities for which they have
been rejected, are capable of cor
rectlon under careful direction
Physical standards are higher than
they were formerly and the rank
and file of our young people mea-
sure up to them.
There is great need for balanc-
ing the health accounts of the older
people. A large part of the chronic
and disabling illnesses and over
half OF the deaths that occur each
year are due to conditions that
have slow, almost imperceptible
beginnings, and that do not make
much Roadway until middle of
life or later. Illnesses from heart
d1sease-which now outranks all
other disabilities as a cause of death
in the general Observation-Disclosures
OF the kidneys, cancer, cerebral
hemorrhage, diabetes and diseases
OF the arteries are in this cless.
Many of the deaths from these
causes could be checked, much suf-
fering could be prevented and val
liable lives could be prolonged for
usefulness and enjoyment, through
a periodical health audit, prompt
treatment and the necessary con-
servation and budgeting of the
physical resources under the di-
rection of the family physician"

Matthew 6:25
People, people, and more people!
Have you ever said, I'm just so
tired of people. l wish I could
get away from everybody? Most
of us have felt that way some time
and have possibly needed and de-
served a rest. We must not permit
that feeling to so color our thinking,
however, that we lose our interest
IN men and women, boys and girls.
Jesus had His times Of prayer and
quiet communion with the Father,
but for the most part we find Him
out among people. He loved them
and consequently dealt faithfully
with them, showing tenderness to
those who needed it, and often be-
ing severely plain and direct in
dealing with those who were hypo-
critics. He valued human person
atty highly, hence He gave Himself
in sacrificial devotion to winning,
guiding, controlling and, above all,
saving men.
The lesson presents some inter-
esting contrasts.
/. How and How Not to Use the
Sabbath wv. 1-6).
Jesus was at a formal gathering
with invited guests ". y in one
of the chief houses of the commu-
nifty, on the Sabbath Day. That such
gathering was held on that day
was sign of the degeneracy of the
age. The same thing is being done
on Sunday by Christian people to-
day. They 60 to church (f con-
venienD in the morning and devote
the afternoon and evening to recre-
alton and social" occasions. We
agree with Dr. Morgan that 1.-The
whole thing is a sign of spiritual
decadence." That's how not to spend
the day of rest and worship.
Another wrong thing was that they
used the occasion to try to entrap
Jesus. He was at the feast, not to
have good time" but to minister
to their spiritual needs. They
brought the sick man in to tempt
Jesus to heal on the Sabbath Day.
He used their trickery to condemn
them and to silence them wv. 4, g..
Declaring Gods truth and His
love for man by worship and by
work for Him-that is the right way
to use the Lords Day. Let's get
back to its proper observance,
III. What and What Not to Do for
Advancement wv. lid.
Getting ahead, even at the expense
of others, seems to have been quite
the thing in our Lords time, as it
is today. Looking at that SNUG, self
satisfied crowd of "grabbers, Je-
sus made good use of His presence
at the feast to expose their folly and
selfshness. Again We agree with
DR.. Morgan that one should, not TRY
for the chief seat Why not? Be-
cause the place of honor is for the
honorable man; and a man who
struggles to sit in the place of honor
proves thereby that he is not an
honorable man." Think it over!
The way up in spiritual things is
always down. Humility. which is SO
despised by the world, is precious
in the sight of God, and will be re-
warded by Him. The principle stat
ed in verse II is and always will
be true. The young man or woman
who really wants to get ahead will do
well to let it control both thought
and deed. 1t is far better rule
