At hight tile addfess to the 14tudetgt was delitered b.m,Rev. J. A. Ib) Scherer, Ph, D., of Charleston, S. C,, id it too was diffe-eint fromn what we are accus toited to hear. Dr. Scherer is a pleasant speaker and uses tio maiuseript. IHis was a beautiful address expressed in beautiftiul langnage-a plea for the taking of the Cross by the young wotanhood and oting ia101h1ood of the day as the' badge of hllonor. Ile pointed out that this cross wiich was once a ba,(.e of dishonlor hlad beenl tranlsfortiled into a badge of hoiior ecause the Greatest tiat ever trod this earth had suffered and died oI it that the world inight be saved. The alddress showed thought iad care in its preparation but we cat only give a brief synlopsis of it Dr. Seherer had for his subject Till' TAK ING OV TIMl CRoSS. Ile npoke i elo Ituent words of the his tory of the Crusades, how Europe had been aroused from the sleep of the Dark Ages by the bugle call of the Crusaldiiig artnies. Seven times the silver bugle somided to rouse new sleepers aid to Ithurry the iilpettits warfare. E.venl chibiren pouired4 their blooil on the shores of their country Because of the failure df these Cros:ales nIen have said that they were a miistake. Bit historv does not miake miistakes.

The CrusIles did a service not for VAIIrope oIly, but for the whole world; not for that age alone but for all title. h'lle flower of chivalry'grew up froi tilie blood of the fallen knights.

Scherer held out the cross of Christ wilich should be borne by the yotiuig womhi.ifood and 111anhiood of to kvenl as tholusands of children and knights in the day of Urban cried "It is the will if God, it is the will of God," evel so it is today the will of God that al1 nations should bear the cross of Christ. lie it was that uplifted it. .le cause if liml who bore the cross did in ii emiperors weave it with goi up (I their piple stamflards. And it was sipreme devotion to Jesus Christ, a t>linsaiil ears after lie lal died, and inl the da,i1ktst of all a-,es since the black yir of his death, -it was supreline de votioIn to Iim that led those millions of Crusileis to tlie Inking of the cross.
