The moot suiting thing about these
pamphlets is their superficiality. With
very few exceptions they deal with
some purely superficial aspect of the

reenlves itself into praise of tbetnesives

mind and colors the Berman view of
everything. It is difficult to realise
tbe full ttaagnituie .0d intensity of
this infunice without reading through
all these German publications. because
the effect is euaiulative. They treat
many different aspects of the war but
always with lie same result.
The Country Church.

Is the counts y church losing its bold

tion is inspired by a recent convents -
tion with a young farmer from Huron

he and the most of his neighbors now

The perfrct self-righteousness, self-

contempt for the enemy, provide them
with an inapeee'rable triple shield of
