Harrison says that fie has access to unpublished docu- ments jn the archives of the United States, and found among thet the Brazilian Emperor's communication. The Post heads the article "Presl- dent Wilson's Pose," and gives it the sub-heading "An Interesting Parallel," Harrison says:--- "Phe language used by his Ma- josty so closely resembles = the re- script. to the Senate just delivered by Président Wiison that one thinks that t he President recently looked up the Emperor's mandate and its words were etched in his mind." Hirrison then quoghs the following from the Brazilian document: S------ . In Name of Humanity. .

Mr. Harrison adds that President Lincoln did not reply to the Emper- or, and is reported to have sald to his secretary: '"Take no notice of this hypoeritica swagger.

JORDAN ims Abraham the Spiritual Ancestor of Treo Religions--He Carried Obe- dience to the Utmost Limit. On Sunday morning in Convoca- tion Hall Prof. W, G. Jordan, of the Theological Faculty of Queen's Uni- versity, preached a most inspiring sermon to a large congregation .of students, soldiers and citizens. He took for his subject "Thé Suprenie Sacrifice" based upon the noble nar- rative of Abraham's surrender of his son, in Genesis XXII. The first part of the address was devoted to a study of the ancient story as it has been viewed by the reverent and thought- Tul behotars, and the second -part showed the application of this prin- ciple of sacrifice to our own times. He pointed out that attractive pic- turesque stories form an import- ant part of Hebrew literature and that in them the stern facts of life and the deepest thoughts of men concerning religion were expressed. He then referred to Abraham ag one of the great ideal figures in the his- tory of religion, who will hold his place in the realm of poetry and faith whatever views we may take of the ancient documents. The three most powerful religions of the world Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism look back to him as their spiritual ancestor and call him "the father of the faithful. Around his\name have been gathered wonderful stories setting forth the religious ideas of faith, . obedience and generosity, If we are no long- er able to view these as photogra- hic scenes from the life of one great {istorical figure they still remain to us as real pictures of life and sug- gestive parables of faith, Some have regarded this particular story which 25 years ago were 0o- as a polemic against child-sacrifice and certainly jt teaches that Jehovah not desire such sacrifice, but there ig' no flerceness of 'attack, as is the case with the prophets when denounce this superstition. The chief point seems.to be to present Abraham as a. man of faith, who was ready to carry-obedietice to the utmost limit believing that even in the darkest mystery the merey, of God would shine out. "An attempt has been made to show that behind at a certain antient story there is a tradition telling ECZEMA ON FACE Was So Bad Had to Stay in House. ---- All skin diseases such as eczema or salt rheuni, itching or burning rash- es, eruptions, ulcers, boils, pimples, etc., are all caused by bad blood, and while not usually attended with any Yatal results, may sooner or later develop into some serious blyod trouble, and the entire system 'lLe- come affected. Burdo¢k Blood Bitters, that cid and well-known remedy, will cicause the blood of all its impurities, and by this méaps cure all skin diseases ant other blood troubles.

We believe that our nation has been called to a great sacrifice in a right- ous cause, Men who have given themselves and made the supreme fice have been called "fools". One of them tells us that he died-- "Not for King, nor flag zor Em- peror, = : But for a dream born in a herds- man shed, And for the secret stripture of the | - r." In other words the sacrifice is not for mere national ' patriotism and pride but for the larger life qf hu- manity. This terrible tragedy re- minds us that all the great things that give meaning and strength to our Christian civilizations have been paid for at a great price and bufit up. by men; who set truth and liberty dbove their own: comfort and safety.
