First comes the weariness of physical and mental toil, with frequent denial of the sleep that would restore energy. Then the long waits for food and drink, often ending in failure of an expected sup- ply. (We may be sure Paul is not thinking of useless austerities: he had quite enough unavoidable fasts with- out imposing mere ritual fasts on himself! And we may well doubt whether a man so emancipated from the ritual law found fasting a means of grace, which is its only justifica- tion.) Then comes the necessity of traveling in all weathers, and often without clothes enough to withstand ithe cold. 28. From things that are without, which touched his bodily comfort or even threatened his life, Paul comes VerY | to that which alone found an entry to his soul. How does this confession of daily "worrying" square with Paul's own precept "In nothing be anxious" (Phil 4. 6), or the Master's own commands about anxiety? (Matt, 6. 26. 84) We find that the forbid- ben anxiety is purely selfish; anxiety for others is an essential part of love's burden.

Under their leaders serve a motley array in and out of all kinds of uni- form, says a writer in World's Work. Not fearing death, the Mexicans are brave, * But theirs is a kind of bravery which depends upon certain circum- stances and is not quite like the cour- age of Angle-S8axons. They will not go forward, as a rule, under fire in close formation against a 10 per cent. loss. But if they are charact- eristically deployed and acting inde- pendently among a great crowd of their own pedple in a general attack, they will keep on going against what eventually proves to be very heavy losses, although they are not obvious- ly so during the attack. Your average Mexican is not, like a Russian or a Turk, particularly good in trenches where he must fight it out in one spot or die. He wants a chance to exercise a choice. Very few troops are more naturally good at utilizing cover. ~ NEED A DICTIONARY. Many New Words Being Used Since War Started. To keep in touch with the news of the world, which is now bringing forth a strange army of words from all the corners of the earth, one must needs have the knowledge of h Mezzofanti or be the possessor. of a polyglot dictionary.. The war be tween the Turks and Arabians has re- leased a number of words, some of which, like the Arabian terms, "alkall," "algebra," "astrology," etc. may in time be adopted into our language. Here is the Arabic word "kaaba," "the cubic stone :" this is the stone. which, according to Mo- hammedar ition (was brought by Adam from Paradise and became black through the sins of men, The stone 1s at Medina. It fs covered by a veil, which is raised by the pilgrims who come from great distances to kiss it." It has been called, irreverent: ly, the blarney stone of Mahomet. At the side of the tomb of Mahomet is a tomb awaiting Jesus, whom the Mus- sulmansg regard as one of their proph- ots. nat ds OUT OF PRISON, GETS V.C. | Seventy Names on Unique British Roll of Honor.

It was he who overcame all the dif- ficulties of that surprising adventure. Spite of winter, spite of deep snows and terrible cold, he pushed on till he had won the whole ridge of the moun- tains and was réady to push his troops down into Hungary. ~No fault of his that the efforts and the victories naught availed us. He has his place in history. He has made new, records in the annals of war, Never before, I believe, has an army taken prisoners to the number of twice its own strength. General Brusiloff's army averaged about 180,- 000. It never exceeded 200,000. At times it dropped as low as 100,000. | He captured in all 860,000 Germans | and Austrians, with 400 guns. "And how many machine guns?" 1 asked him, "I forget. Thousands," he re- plied. Ivanoff, the son of a peasant pro- prietor, has remained in essentials a peasant all his life. He lives in the simplest fashion. He might have advanced himself by marrying a rich wife. He preferred to be a bach- elor. Modesty he carries to almost morbid length. One of the censors of his staff told me he was quite angry because a newspaper telegram was passed praising his conduct of cer- tain opera tions!

At the close of the proceedings, as the guests of the mayor were enjoy- ing a quiet smoke together, a young girl advanced towards Lord Kitchener with her autograph-album in hand, and asked him if he would kindly honor her by putting his autograph in er book. Much as the late Secretary of State for War disliked this kind of thing, he could not very well say "Nay," and so' signed his name in the book. He was in the act of handing it back to the young lady, when, before those in the room-could réalize what had happened, she dexterously implanted a kiss on the chock of the tanned and obviously annoyed distinguished sol- dier. Needless to say, the company ex- pressed its disapproval and disgust of the action in as forcible a manner as was possible in the circumstances, but the girl captured the position by means of a direct frontal attack, and lived to tell the tale. trad HINT OF A BLOW IN RESERVE. Germany Will Operate All War In- struments at Her Disposal. Prominence is given in Der Tag of Berlin, to a long article on Thor's hammer by Dr. Reinke, member of the Upper House of the Prussian Diet. 'Dr. Reinke opens his article by recalling the fact that the hearts of millions of Germans were lifted up to "the God of Christians," at the commencement of the third year of the war with a profound feeling of gratitude for "the immeasurably great things we have achieved during two years of bitter struggle in this defensive war forced on us." Dr. Reinke writes: "The God of Christians is the God of love, of faithfulness, of justice and of mercy. We are to serve Him in spirit and in truth. His service does not, however, preclude us Ger- mans from turning also to the gods of our Teutonig forefathers, who in their myths divided among several ideal figures what the Oriental Chris- tian teaching embodies as a whole in the image of God." "Thor and his hammer," Dr. Reinke asserts, "symbolize the German heroes up to the present day, and it is the blows of Thor's hammer that are wielded by the German soldiers on all the fronts of the present bat- tlefield. One great blow of this hammer is still needed in the west before the peace that Grmany wants reveals its face." One does not speak of this great final blow, he says, but everybody is constantly thinking about it, and it will consist of operating simultane- ously and ruthlessly "with all the forces and all the instruments of war at our disposal." Dr. Reinke observes that the Chancellor expressly declared he holds this in reserve, and he avers the Chancellor is supported on this point by the whole na The only question is, he adds, is when this heaviest and decisive blow of the hammer, "in anticipation of which the Britannic. giant lives ina state constant fear and anxiety," is to be struck. "Thor's hamm be swung with such - make the 'rock of Great Brits ver.' England. will never be willing to discuss peace until she the effect of such a blow." Dr. Reinke is one of Germany's leading savants in the domain of bio- logical research. i
