Here the narrow road makes a sharp i

Rounding the turn the Gadski party
found their right of way contested by
another big touring car. In trying to

car cut ln too fine, or perhaps some
thing went wrong with the mechanism
at a critical moment. Whatever It vitas,
it brought the car too near the ravine
side -of the road and; the left wheels
slipped over the edge. Then tha car
toppled over on one side throwing the '
. occupants into a heap.
'' A few moments breathless suspense
ensued, everybody expected that the car
would plunge down into the ravine
and then, probably, they would all be

i -f their surprise the car went no further.
" For a minute they remained huddled

HAT is the idea of the oath?
As we look at it nowadaya it Is
the solemn affirmation of tho
truth In a court of Justice in
voking the name oi a personal

upon tho witness to tell the truth.
To lay bare the truth Is ths most Im
portant task of the Judge. It Is to form
ths foundation for the Judicial sentence.
But very often when I am on the bench
I seem to see the Ironical words of

close to it as possible, sre many and

The Kathares and Valdeuses of me
diaeval times refused to take an oath in
court, as did also during the time of the
Reformation ths Anabaptists and Men

opposed to It.
Nowadays it cannot be concealed that
a -very large number of moral, highly
educated and loyal citizens no longer
believe ln a personal, transcendental,
dogmatic God, and It is unjust to de
mand these people to go against their
conviction and force them to taks an
oath In court. The Judge reminds them
that It Is their solemn duty as good cltl

still we often feel how utterly powerless
we are to find the truth. Every person

When Catholicism was still the offi

were often used and he waa made to
promise to tell the truth, "so help me
God and all His saints." While taking
the oath he was also compelled to lift
three fingers as a symbol of the Trinity,
