Five years ago Saturday the crown prince of Austria was assasi- nated in Serajevo. This was' the signal^ for the’lighting by Germans af the. fires of the greatest war. of- all history. On this anniversary the German delegates signed the document in which they acknowl edged their utter defeat and con fessed all their wrong. The cere mony took place in the room where Germany humiliated France after the Eranco-Prussion war of 1870, bnt kith conditions reversed. The conquerors of that day were the hum’-le suppliants of today. The meaning of this treaty is that although actual hostilities ended on November 11th, of last year by the signing of the* armistice, yet both countries were still technically _al—wax. ami-hostilities -were merely suspended. Much water has pas-ed under the bridge sineje the last gun was fired. It has become an open question \yhetl.ej- the treaty of peace which' l as been signed by Germany will accomplish All that bus- been hooed for.

The divis ion-which met'at Healing Springs on J,. Sunday was one of the beat. The churches were all represented. Re ports covering their financial and spiritual condition were received with great interest. They’have shared iry the general financial, prosperity. There was however, the fear that spiritual ideals are in -4ang«r of ing lowered instead of keeping pace with financial growth. The Healing Springs people are not only-fortunate in having Jhe very excellent water which has given the name to the church and- community! ' but they measure up .to the highest in their hospitality.
