He succeeded his father at the age of 8. During Philip's minority under the regency of Baldwin I. Count of Flanders, the conquest of England was made by the Norman knights. Later in his reign the first crusade to deliver the Holy Land from the infidels was planned, but Philip, who was on terms of enmity with the Pope because of the scandalous and violent life he was leading, took no part in the enterprise. His reign characterized by weakness and selfieh indulgence, and elght years before his death his health became so impaired that he left both the duties and prerogatives of the throne to his son Louis and reigned only in name On July 29, in 1794, Stanislaus Augustus, king of Poland, was compelled by the Prussian, Russian and Austrian coalition, to annul the Polish constitution and deliver the army of Poland over to the Russian general Branicki In 1868, on July 29, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, known as the reconstruction amend ment, was proclaimed by President Johnson. ‘The | amendment was ratified by 2% Northern states and rejected by the 10 Confederate states and also by Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky, The Southern states were subsequently subjected to such pressure by the administration that they were forced to ratify and thus gave the required three-fourths in favor of the amendment “FAITH WITHOUT WORDS” | ARE DEAD,” SO. ARE | DREAMS WITHOUT DEEDS | —e BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE You've dreamed of what you'd like to be and do— | and that's always fine in anyone But merely, dreaming doesn't get you anywhere. Whea you spend your time simply thinking of what would be ideal for yourself—provided it could be made | possible—you're wasting time that might be spent in discovering what is surely possible and in planning | how to make it so. It's true that everything that was never marked out was first dreamed out--but notice that the dream was marked out, Visions are merely guides to better things—they are not the better things themselves. It's like the difference between “faith” and “works.” Some men have faith but they have no works, while others show their faith by their works, “Faith without works is dead,” says the scripture. And so dreams without deeds are empty shells, “John Barleycorn may be dead,” posteards M. ut I'm afraid he hagen’t been buried.
