Their faith had the stamp of reality, though they were attacked with swift, ebarp persecution upon their accept - ince of the gospel. In spite of perse- cution, a peculiar joy possessed them. Their trials tested and revealed their faith and thus led to the fuller pro- clamation of the gospel. Their zeal.so prevailed that they were themeaves examples to others. By the eloquence of their lives their proclamation of the gospel was clear and ringing. Paul aeclared that they had fillea Mace- donia with knowledge and wonder at their steadfastness in the truth; that they had triumphed among the perple by their patience and suffering for the gospel's sake. Under Paul's Macao "ng, alley had laid held of the great "act of the atonement. The graces -bey exercieeti were manifestly, wrought in them by the power ot led. Tbey were examples to the other r.hurelles which Paul raised up. The foutaing of the Thessalotion Church es a most marvelous work. If. Received apostolic consolation. We may regard Paul as a true philan- tbeopist, as one who lost sight of him - elf in seeking the good of others. No man ever entered more deeply into the feelings of others. The joy of his U fe was bound up with the salvation of souls. His supreme pleasure was the loving sympathy of his converts. Neither time nor distance could di- minish. his interest in them. His griet at be.ing separated frorn them was a eroof of his affection for them. None were more tenderly loved than the ethristians of Macedonia, none ad - .:viewed with more endearing words. Tim apostle's hope was to see his con - :torte complete in Christ at the resur- erction. His words show that he be- tieved in the mutual recognition ea friends in the future life. He looked to an everlasting bond of union he - tweets himself and his floerc. Beyond the bounds of time Paul eagerly anti - cleated eternity; He lived in expecte- tion of the appearance of the Saviour. Met great hope was his own perpet- ual inspiration, and by the teaching nf it, he ever urged his disciples to live consecrated lives. Throughout his epistle the thought of the Lord's cot:corning the coming of the Lord being of all true believers. Ignorance eoneerning the coming .of the Lord had cast eome of the Thessalonians into deep sorrow in respect to their cleparted Mende. Paul's encourage - :lint and exhortation were ameba statement would afford much con- solation. He declared only what was revealed to him. He prefaced kis de - (gelation by distinctly claiming the attliority of inspiration for it. On a subject of suet:avast mordent Paul was eareful to show ttat be spoke on the highest authority, under the immedi- ate inspiration of the divine Spirit. Paul's aseurance evds that their de- parted loved ones would share the elories of Christ's advent as certainly as. those who lived at his appearing. So far from being placed at a (head - vantage they were to occupy a posi- tion of privilege. Paul presented the final state of two classes watch were to be united in a meeting without a parting in intimate fellowship with the Lord in fulfilment of Christ's prayer. -T. R.

Bell a.dvanced to the centre of the structure, and the prisoners, with Gen. Francisco Gone zales, Juarez troop commander, at their head, advanced from the Mexi- can end. As the two generals reached the centre of the bridge, Gen. Gon- zales said: "Gen. Bell, as A represen- tative of the Government of Mexico, I deliver to you these troopers of your Government," Nothing was said as to how he came in possession of them, wbether they were prisoners of war or otherwise. As Gen. Gonzales made his declara- tion, the Mexican officer in command of the guard escorting the Americans began to call their miters, and as each man answered he stepped forward and was waved across the imaginary line marking the bounaary of the two countries, in the centre of the bridge. Seillsbury, the guide, had marched up with Gen. Gonzalee, Consul Garcia and party. Spillsbury bad on the suit of white duck given him by the Ameri- cans at Chihuahua City.

All of the negroes aseerted that they had been stripped ot their clothing by their Mexican mi- ters. Some of them said they had come to the border with fewer clothes, than they crossed the bridge with. THE END NOT YET. Washington, June 29. -In spite of the relief in official circles over the release of the American troopers cap- tured in the Carrizai engagement, the principal question threatening the re- lations between the United States and Mexieo still remains to be answered. This was plainly indicated to-aay by Secretary of. State Lansing to Ignacio Calderon, the Minister from Bolivia, who called at the State De- partment for the purpose of again determining whether the opportunity was ripe for a proffer of medietion from the other Latiu-Amerlcan re- publics, Secretary Lansing informed the Minister that, -except for verbal aseurances conveyed to Special Repre- sentative Rodger: at Mexico City by Foreign Minister Aguiler, that the trocpers would be set. free, the United States Government was still without response to its formal demands. It is the written answer from Mex- ico that the ,American Government wants to see. While the imprison- ment of the American soldiers was a matter of immediate moment, the Secretary indicated, nevertheless, that. there remained to be answered the trowel, demand a the United States for a, definite expression from Gen. Carranza as to whether he was deter- mined to pursue the threat 10 attaek the American forces if they attempted to move in any direction other than tcwards the American border. would stand the Teuton Allies in good stead at this thne, when allied -of- fensives on three frontare promised. But of far great eignificance is the new dent forceinto the defenders' lines in Galicia. Hovel and Lemberg aro the two objectives of the Russian drive. Their capture means the re- treat of the Germans to the line of the Bug in Poland and the loss of a large part of Galicia to the Czar's armies. • On the Novel front the 'Russians are not advancing. Berlin claims that the Germans are slowly foreleg the enemy back around Sokul. But in Ibis sector the Czar's forces have driven a salient into the Teuton trenches. Their strategy is not to force an advance until such an at- tempt is free from danger of an en- veloping movement. Before General Brushoff begins a new drive to clear the ten miles to Kovel lie must straighten his line to the south in Galicia. In Galicia the Russians must break through Austrian lines, lines which have always crumpled before Russian attacks. In Volhyula Ger- mans block the way, and German lines have always blocked the Russians. Thus the Czar's generals are hammer- ing at the Austrian lines and forging through them. Lemberg will be won not by an attack from the north, but by a flanking movement from the south through Kolomea. When Kolo- mea falls, control of the railway to Lemberg will be laid open to the Rus- sians. :With thie road wrested from the Austrians, the defenders would be compelled to fall beck to the Styr- Lemburg line, and the Galician capi- tal would soon capitulate, Then the path would be open for a new sweep over the Carpathians. THE BUKOWINA CAMPAIGN. In Bukowina, too, the Russians are advancing The occupation of Kim- poiung on the border railroad opens ali routes into Hungary. Thus the Roumanian frontier is completely in control of the invader. Bucharest .can- not look with indifference on these important successes. In Volhynia the battle is still in . progress, with the Germans claiming the upper hand. The Teutons may force back the Czar's troops a short way without up- setting the Russian plan materially. It Is in Galicia that the Russians are put- ting forth their greatest effort. Suc- cess means the shattering of the foe's lino for northward. THE OFFICIAL STATEMENTS. The Austrian official communication received here to -night admits that the Austrians have been compelled to retire' from part of their front at KoMmea, in Bukowina and East Gali- cia and southward. The statement says: "Massed Rus - elan attacks- over a front of 40 kilo- metres in the region east of Kolomea led to stubborn battles and hand-to- hand fighting. In this fighting, after Austrian reserves had been hastily brought up, the superior forces of the Russians were repulsed, but he the evening the Austrians were compelled to retire on a part ot the front of Kolometi and. southward."

We do no wish to underrate the seriourness ot such a fight Neither, on the other hand, do we want to allow the British to frighten us.

In the preface to his book, Von Buelow discusses Germany's futureeand the form that a peacc treaty must tak to conform with German aspirations Declarthe that Germany will have t reckon after the war with the bitter hatred of France, England and Russia be continues: "This fact must dictate the fort which peace shall assume.
