After dining and seeking God’s blessing upon our further travels, at 9:30 p. m. we took train for Dieppe on the coast, whence we got passage on steamer (the "M iti- che") near midnight across the English Channel to Newhaven. The sea was quite smooth and rest was comparatively easy, much to our delight, for usually it is quite a rough passage.

Year after year,” as Dr. John L. Stoddard aptly ob serves, "accusers rise, assail his memory, and pass away. But still the Vendome Column towers above Paris, and still its plates of bronze portray in beautiful relief his victories over united nations. His memory resembles a gigantic cliff emerging from the sea of time. The waves of calumny may break against it; the lightning’s bolt of hatred may descend upon its brow; the cutting winds of sarcasm and malice may attack its surface; clouds of misunderstanding may conceal it; and even the disinte grating touch of Time may strive to mar its massiveness; but pres ently the waves are stilled, the tempest disappears, the mists all clear away, and lo! the cliff is there, serene and indestructible.'’ Had we the lime we would have paid a visit to the renowned and splendid Chateau of F'ontainebleau (just forty miles from Paris) with which so much of French history is intertwined, particularly of the Napoleonic period. The palace of Fontaine belle-eau has been "compared to a magnificently dec orated volume of French history, each page adorned with famous names, distinguished portraits, royal coats of arms, and illustra tions of the pageantry and pleas ure, luxury and intrigue, comedy and tragedy, inseparable from the records of a Court.” We also longed to visit the famous battle field of Waterloo (not far from Brussels), where upwards of 50,- 000 soldiers perished, and Napol eon was overwhelmed (see Victor land libertinism Thence we drove to Pcre-la-; ca " got rid of these purity- Chaise, the most notable cemetery I suckers by threatening to knock of Paris, where the Communists Some times one \ England, with its magnificent mil Archbishop Paley's made their last stand and bombar ded the region of the Place de la Concorde.

"Spes awful boast is illorum imrnortali plenaest.” Yes, "Sur ces qui Hahitaient le pays de l’ombre de la mort une lumiere si splendide.” P'rom the Pere-la-Chaise we proceeded by the Avenue and Place de la Republique, Grand Boulevards, Porte St. Martin and Port St. Denis. Leaving the tally- ho and taking private carriage,Mr. Carroll and the author were driven to the salon in the triangle be tween the Champ Elysees and the Seine, or two Palaces of the P'ine Arts—the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, where we spent some time viewing with considerable pleasure the very fine exhibit of statuary, painting, drawing, tap estry, etc. One should not miss paying the Salon a visit, it is by all odds one of the very best ex- window tomb, them down or call the police.

One of the guides from London, however, showed us a lot of this vile matter that he had collected from them out 1 of sheer curiosity; and we confess never have we seen anything like them for out-and-out immorality, After being shown them we were sorry that our eyes had ever gazed for a single moment upon such. This is not all, Paris literally li census prostitution, to every lewd female giving medical certificate of all-rightness at regular inter vals—so said for protection of the stranger or visitor to such places. We have such as the testimony of credible physicians and visiting the truth. The that anyone on earth can in Paris enjoy larger liberties without outside interfer ence or personal detriment, and we have no doubt of the former while very serious doubt as to the latter. The iniquity of Pompeii is more than reduplicated in Modern Paris, if we may believe the testi mony furnished at first hand. We thank God the tempter has never in all our life led us across the threshold of a den of impurity. And we are fain to believe that even in wicked Paris—"the cradle of the freest thought, the new est fashion, and the latest luxury” —the Lord has others of His own who have likewise remained loyal to Him in deed no less than thought, for which we give Him all the praise and glory! As we look back to our visit to Paris, our minds love the rather to hibitions of fine art in Paris.

We saw the Abbey and Tombs by moonlight also, as Sir Walter advises one to do, to get a belter idea of its picture squeness. We sat in Sir Walter’s favorite seat in the Abbey, saw the graves of the Wallace family, also where "King Robert Bruce’s hear.” was buried in the Abbey enclosure. This ; s a wonderfully fine old specimen of Gothic sculp lure and Gothic architecture, said not to have its equal anywhere on the continent or in the world, ranking among the most beautiful of all ecclesiastical ruins in this land, and a great model for pres ent-day architecture.

It was the greatest sale in the history of this stole, and convinced ns that, there is plenty of room for the growth mid development of our business. So we have determined to enlarge and improve our store. The work will be done next month; and before the carpenters, plasterers and painters move in to do this work we w ant to move out as much of our stock as possi ble. We want to get the goods out of the way to make room for the workmen. In order to sell the stock down as low as possiblo, we have decided to price everything for the next few weeks at most attractively low prices. Any thing and everything in the store will lie sold at less than usual prices, to move the goods. (’ome and see the stock and gel w hat yon want 'at prices that mean a great saving of monoj to every pur chaser. Remnants of the Wreck Sale Broken lots of the big wreck sale stock remain.

I am no insurance ngout; hut I Jo not hesitate to Huy that modern in- suninoc ooiiich nearer to giving some thing for nothing, and making that something sure and certain than any other known institution of our times. Indeed, so sure, cheap and certain has it become that no man, however poor, is without excuse who does not tnku advantage of thu inducements offered him lo lay up a little money to bury him when dead and provide support for his afflicted and stricken loved ones when lie is nailed away. It is siiort of unpardonable crime when a father and husband, with a wife nnd children de|>ending upon him for support, neglects tills sacred obligation; uses up uuch week his wages, nnd in a movement of time is stricken hy death; compels his friends to bury him; leaves iiis fam ily destitute and objeots of pity and charity. Though I should live a thousand years I never coaid forget the picture of just such a scene as tins I saw in Mt. Hope cemetery a few days ago— tlie one that inspired the sermon. I was called upon to preach the fune ral sermon of a man who wus a clerk in one of the great railroad offices. He had a beautiful little home, a lovely wife and child. He lived a life of simple, happy ease. In vain did insurance agents importune him to ouriy just a little insurance. He lived each week to the limit of his small salary, saving nothing. He refused to take tusurunoe on ucoouut of the expense. One day he was sitting at his desk writing and whistling when sudden ly his whistling censed, his writing stopped, his head dropped forward 011 iiis hook, and his heart, ever light and guy, oeased to throb. When Iiis oooouuts were footed up ho had nothing. The hoys in the of- fleo had to buy iiis coffin nnd defray all funeral expenses, and they were just as poor as ho. One dollar a week invested in life insurance would have avoided all this. The saddest sight I think I ever witnessed in my life was his frail, delicate littlo wife, standing beside that open grave with the cold winds whistling through the barren trees, sobbing ns if her poor heart would break, with not enough money in her pockotbonk to buy her a lunch and nay her way hack to her cheer less home. After she returned to her home, what then? No lin-ad in the pantry, no money in the purse, no coal in the hunker, and the next month’s rent due. I have no sorrow for that dead hus band. My sympathy is all for thu poor, destitute and unfortunate wife. It is a pity that such men cannot suf fer the penalty of their own folly; hut, unfortunately, the suffering is endured by their luckless wives and innocent children. sj For the right kind of Insurance see F.
