COLBY % ❖ 4* City Founded on Slaughter \4TEN wore their religions with se- IvT verity when America was j'oung. It Is dlftlcult to comprehend that when St. Augustine was founded the Span ish inquisition was just rising into the fullness of its power. Men murdered their brothers then, with prayers on their lips, that their own souls might find repose. Thus it came about that St. Augus tine, oldest city in the United States, was founded on slaughter. Philip II, king of Spain, learned in 1565 that a party of Huguenots under Rene de I.audoniere. had established a settle ment in Florida not far from the mouth of the St. John’s river. The Huguenots were Protestant and French. Two reasons for hating them. Calling Menendez, a devout church man and officer of the navy .before him. King Philip II commissioned him to sail to Florida and scourge the French settlers from the land. Men endez sailed. When he arrived he found there a force of about four hundred fifty Huguenots busy with their defenses. Menendez, in battle array, commanded them to surrender. Realizing that they were helpless in the face of the supe rior Spanish force, they asked his terms. Would they be safe? Would their lives he spared? *T will treat you as Clod would treat you,” he replied. He said much more* was voluble. But that seemed to he the idea he meant to convey. “As God would treat you,” he repeated. That apparently was fair enough. One hundred and fifty of them surren dered, laid down their arms. Menendez tied their hands behind their backs. Then he lined them up in a row. That done he made a sec ond speech. It’s substance was this: “If God had yon as I have got you, he’d shoot you all.” So he ordered them shot, and they were. The three hundred who did not sur render fled down the coast. He pur sued and surrounded them. He asked them how many wanted to surrender. Another one hundred fifty surrendered on pledge that their lives would he spared. Menendez kept his word. He let them live. But the one hundred fifty that did not surrender, he hunted down and killed. Hot anger swept France when word of the wholesale murder reached there. Dominic de Gourgues, a French naval officer, red with wrath, organ ized a punitive expedition. Fighting men flocked to his banners. And one day they swept into St. Augustine. De Gourgues found there on the spot of Menendez’ slaughter of the Huguenots a memorial tablet that he had erected In explanation of his deed. It said that the victims had been exe- euted—“Not as Frenchmen hut as Lutherans.” Being a man of action Dominic de Gourgues strung up the entire garri son. He also left a memorial. His tablet said that the garrison had been executed—“Not as Spaniards, nor as outcasts, but as fraitors. thieves and murderers.” With that he sailed away. The king of France, as a reward, made him an admiral. And the king of Spain, to reward Menendez for his wholeheart ed endeavors, made him an admiral also. De Gourgues and Menendez both, a little later, were seized with fever and both died of it. After de GourgTies and his French men sailed away the Spaniards came hack. They decided to build a strong fort here. The Appalachian Indians were enslaved and for sixty years they and their descendants labored on the fortifications. Surrounding tribes of red men went on the warpath. For generations any Spaniard daring to leave the protec tion of the fort was in danger <>f am hush. They dared not even go fishing or oystoring. It is recorded that the Indians made such a hell of life in St. Augustine, that one hundred tiltv years after it was settled the city was still dependent upon imports of food stuffs and supplies from Spain to keep starvation out. A hundred fifty years of endless fear with murder always outside the gates! St. Augustine, horn in blood. (©. 1923. Lester B. -'olby.) Genius Net Form of High Mental Capacity? The dullest and most valuable of books says the word genius means special mental endowments. I have been wondering if anyone with the special imagination neces sary in considering the spiritual is a genius. May it he honestly said of Edgar Allen Poo. or Walt Whitman, that they were geniuses? There is nothing of actual value in a morbid poem, play or picture, although they may be unusual.

The lesson title is somewhat mis leading in that it implies that the in sight of Simeon and Anna was due to their purity of heart, whereas it was due to the fact of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Those indwelt by the .Spirit will he pure in heart, but not all the pure in heart have such insight. I. Simeon (Luke 2:25-35). 1. His character (v. 25). (1) He was just. That is, honest and upright in ail his dealings/with men. We are not told what his occupation was, hut we are assured that he was a man trusted by all who knew him. . If he .were a merchant, his customers got the kintl of goods represented with full weight and measure. In spite of the corrup tions of ids time, he did not take ad vantage of his fellow men in business deal.s. (2) Devout. He was just because lie was God fearing. Many boast of their morality wiilU; unwilling to bow thoir knees to God in prayer. (3) He looked for the Messiah. God’s word had promised that Christ should come. He believed In the truthfulness of that word. The same word that told of Christ’s first coming tells of his second coming (Hebrews 9:28). While waiting for the Mes siah, he kept faithfully discharging his duty. Intelligent looking for the coining of Jesus Christ means dili gence in daily duties, not idly gazing into the heavens. f ,.(4) The Holy Spirit was upon him. This was the secret of his godly and practical living. The Christ-iike life is only possible to those who are filled with the Holy Ghost. 2. His reward (vv. 26-28). The Holy Spirit revealed unto him that he should see the Messiah before he died. At the appointed time the Spirit led him into the temple where Joseph and Mary came to present Jesus to God. Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God. The most important event in every life is to see Christ. One has missed the greatest experience of life if he haa ; not seen Christ. 3. Simeon’s song (vv. 29-33). . This is the Nunc Pimittis #qng by Christians since the Fifth century, A. D. Simeon was now ready to die because he had seen God’s salvation. Salvation is in ami through Christ’s atonement on the cross. No one is ready to die until he has seen God’s salvation which was wrought out on Calvary’s cross. 4. Simeon’s prophecy (vv. 34, 35). (1) The meaning of Christ to the world (v. 34). Everyone is affected by Christy coming. His presentation to man either results in their salvation or condemnation. There is absolutely no neutral ground. Personal attitude to ward him determines all. (2) He shall he spoken against (v. 34). This has been fulfilled in every gen eration since its utterance. ' (3) Meaning to Mary (v. 35). This began to be fulfilled when she was obliged to flee Egypt in order for Jesus to escape Herod’s sword. It was an intimation of what the end would be when she clasped her child to her bosom. Her heart was pierced again and again as human hate swept .against her son. Its culmination was reached when she stood below his cross. II. Anna (Luke 2:36-39). 1. Her character (vv. 36, 37). She was irreproachable. After a married life of only seven years, she had lived as a lonely widow for about eighty-four years, during which timi she devoted herself to God. She was what Paul called “a widow indeed” (I Tim. 5:5). During these longy.ears she endured many trials and tempta tions, leading a life of self-denial for th^snke of others. She was a woman of much prayer. 2. Her testimony (v. 3S). She gave thanks and spake of him to all who were looking for redemp tion. She tints had fellowship with others who had this blessed hope. Though surrounded by wickedness, many were looking for the Messiah. No Room for Both How foolish are we if we attempt to entertain two guests so hostile to one another as Christ Jesus and Satan! Rest assured, Christ will not live in the parlor of our hearts if wo enter tain Satan in the cellar of our thoughts.—Charles H. Spurgeon.
