PAGE TEN \ THE SERMON PREACHED THE DAILY ERITISH WHIG, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1915. THE TWO CROSSES. BY REV. DR. HERRIDGE, THE RE- | TIRING MODERATOR Of the General Assembly -- We Should Be Glad To Be Alive Now Because We Are Having Ward Times, "Render to Caesar the thing that are Caesar's; and to God the things | that are God's."-- Mark 12: 17. : This was the text of the sermon breached in Grant Hall on Wednes- day evening by Rey. Ww 7 Herridge, | D.D., Ottawa, the retiring Moderator u the Presbyterian General Assem- y. "This answer," said Dr. Herridge, "triumphantly silences those who would entrap Jesus, and, once and for all, proclaims the rights and re- Bulates. the duties and distinguishes the jurisdiction al'ke of the temporal and of the eternal. It shows thar, 80 far from being compelled to choose between fidelity to thé Church or the State, a proper recognition of the claims of the one is never incompati- ble with a proper recognition of the claims of the other. religionists who make cal allegiance, and the secularists fail to perceive the sanctities which underlie all earth's affairs, and re- veal their inner meaning. The coin stamped with Caesar's image involy- es a tribute to Caesar, The soul stamped with God's image involves a tribute to God." The following are some of Dr. Her- ridge's remarks; "Unless the things due to Caesar are rendered in shall fail both in our patriotic ser- vice, and in the service we owe to "This is only another way of say- ing that we need Just now, most of all, the appileation of Christian prin- ciples to the whole conduct of life. It Will be found impossible, in the midst of the grave problems which confront us, to make any sharp divid- ing-line between the sacred and the ¥ecular, to be devout on Sunday and pagan all the rest of the week, to assume a moral standpoint when it Seems expedient to do so, and ignore it when the wind of popular custom blows another way." - "No antagonism between ofvil and religious duties can occur if the Btate deserves its name by showing Some regard for those eternal laws which défy the caprice of changing fashions, and are built into the very fabrie of God's universe." "We cannot all serve In the tren- ches; but we can all serve in defen- ce of national truth and national righteousness." "It 18 not sudden revolution that we need in Canada to-day, but the steady evolution of active Christan manhood. While we fight the foes of the Empire, we must not ignore the foes that lurk within our own borders. If, as we belleve, we are contending for human liberties, we must see to it that we do not fetter ourselves." "We must learn also. to apply Christian principles to. our industrial affairs. This big war has, perhaps, held in cheek a war of labor which threatened, and still threatens, espec- ially in the extreme western province of Canada. The economic problem deserves careful study, and is by no means an easy one. - But, whatever education is needed in it, what we need most is education in human brotherhood. . There is no possible device by whieh men can live toget- her in peace on the sole principle of Sell-interest. If the world is to go on, each must ask, not gimply, 'How much can I get? but, 'How much can I give?' "And, then, there is the curse of intemperance in our land. Even though we may not he prepared to assert that prohibition will necessar- ily usher in the millenium, we must surely feel that these stern days call for total abstinence from some things and temperance in all things." "And while we speak of social vice with bated breath that is all the more reason why we should strive, by ear- nest effort and fervent prayer and Wite sympathy, to make Canada pure and clean. We cannot be at ease in this land of freedom as long as there are any slaves amongst us, whether victims of thelr own folly or of the unbridled lust, the shame- ful greed of others." "But more difficult' still is the warfare against less obtrusive enem- les, against respectable indifference, against sleek ariseeism, against the killing letter from which the #pirit-life 1s gone. Whatever hin- drahces the Church Nas outside its Bote, these are often not so much to dreaded as hindrances within, It is a great tribute to the Church's power, and to the supreme value of the message which is given her to proclaim that she has survived till now in spite of some, at least, who, ever since they were born, have shared her privileges and reaped her benefits. No one can expect to com- mend Christianity to others unless it kindles the ardor of his own soul. It is the enthusiasts, the God-intoxicat- ed whom the world needs most. "Never in the history of this land 'was there a louder call for an awak- ened Churgh that shall vindicate her right to be, not by the rigidity of her creeds, or the attraction of her rit- ual, so much as by the actual service she renders to mankind. And it should give us renewed hopes, in thees dark hours, because the Church is{ becoming more conscious of her uni- unity, and is more ear riving, by God's help, to face There is ine na fulfill it. of the It rebukes the light of politi- the finest spirit, we rise.

The magnificent gem, known to history as thie Orloff diamond, which in its rough state formed the eye of an idol in a temple near Trichino- poli, was stélen by a Frenchman, who escaped with his prize to Persia, and who, fearful of being discovered, was glad to dispose of his ill-gotten gain for a sum of about $10,000. The man who bought the stone sold it to one Shafras, an astute Arme- nian, for $60,000. Shafras had eon- ceived the idea that by carrying the stone to Russia he would obtain from the Empress Catharine the Great a princely sum for it. How to travel in safety with the stone, the theft of which had, of course, been discovered and pro- claimed, became a grave considera- tion. It was too large to swallow, and no mode of concealment present- ed itself to Shafras that seemed se- cure from discovery. The way in which he solved the problem is remarkable. He made a deep incision in the fleshy part of his left leg, In which he inserted the stone, closing the wound carefully by sewing it up with silver thread. When the wound healed the Arme- nian merchant set out on his travels quite boldly and although more than once apprehended, rigorously search- ed and even tortured a little, he was obdurate and firmly denied having the stone in his possession. Having at length reached his des- tination he asked from tho Empress the sum of $200,000 for the gem, an amount of money which Catherine Was unable to raise at the moment. We next find the Armenian at Am- sterdam with the intention of having his diamond cut. Here the stone was seen by Count Orloff, who determined to purchase it for presentation to his royal mistress, the Empress Cath- arine. The sum ultimately paid for the gem was about $350,000 in cash, to- gether with an annuity of $2,500 and a patent of nobility, Shafras flourished exceedingly and died a millionaire, ~~ # a Pretty Dilapidated. On a dilapidated narrow gauge railroad in a certain state a traveler was struck with the general air of hopelessness of the entire country. Run down farins, fences falling to pieces and houses unpainted and dis- mal were seen as mile after mile was reeled off. Finally a countryman got on, and the two fell into conversa tion. "Country around here looks fearfully dilapidated," remarked the traveler. "Yaas, but jest wait an' ye'll see sumpin' wuss," replied. the countryman. The train stopped. They looked out and saw a rail miss ing ahead. The entira train crew clambered out, crowbars in hand, proceeded leisurely to the rear of the train and in due time loosened a rail and carried it forward. It was spiked into position, and the train proceed- ed. "Somebody stole a rail?" asked the traveler. "'Yaas, abaout twenty year ago, I reckon. Evah since they hain' nobody bought "a new one. When the train comes back they've gotter stop an' tear up a rail behind 'em. Ain't that the dilapidatenest thing ye ever see, stranger?" The Meaning of Calumet. You will often run across the word calumet in connection with Indian tales of war, and unless you are fa- miliar with its meaning you are apt to be puzzled by it. Calumet is the name of the peace pipe used by the North American In- dians. It consisted of a tobacco pipe having a large bowl, generally of pol- ished red marble or sandstone, and a stem of reed or painted wood decorat- ed with feathers and about two and one-half feet long. After a peace treaty had deen signed the Indians used to fill the ptpe with the best to- bacco and present it to the represen- tatives of the party with which they had made peace, themselves smoking it afterward. The Indians also pre- sented the calumet to any visitor, and to refuse it was to declare war with those who proffered it. The word calumet is not In itself Indian; it is a Norman word meaning shepherd's pipe and was given by the early French settlers to the Indian pipe of peace because of its general resem- blance to the musical instrument of the field. Odd Marriage Customs, An Arab wedding lasts seven days. The husband sees his wife's face after the ceremony is over. It is then pro- per for him to cry out in delight at its loveliness, and then, as in the Bi- ble, "the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, re- Joiceth greatly because of the bride: groom's voice." The people outside the tent raise an answering ery. In Turkey the bride stands behind a screen during a part of the cere- mony and is first seen Ut its conclu- sion. A Moorish wedding is also a seven day affair. Streets Swept by Convicts. The public streets in the towns of | Java are daily swept and kept clean by native convicts.
