Reveals Story
Of Paris Revolt
Unknown Hero Token Hotel
De Ville, Loses It and
Takes It Again.
PARIS. — An unknown patriotic
Frenchman started a second revolu-
tion. this time against the hated
Nazis in Pans, and Commandant
Reger Stephane helped carry it
through to victory.
He told the sto-y in a side room of
the Hotel de Ville, the heart of
Paris resistance.
Ptc-phane is a fictitious name to
protect his compatricts still in Nazi-
held areas In peace time he was
a journalist and political aspirant
who became a De Gaullist in war
and led the resurrection of this city.
This was his story:
“The fight for freedom had been
planned and I was on my way to
attend a political meeting to de-
termine when we would stort fight-
ing in Paris I was walking by
n.; self when compatriots in a bus
told me an unknown Frenchman
had raised the de Gaulle flag over
German headquarters m the Hotel
de Ville that morning, August 19 I
can tell you we had nearly 12.000
Nazis to contend w’lth.”
Veterans in Fight.
A German tank attacked the bus,
so Stephane took it upon himself to
order members of the French Re-
publique, veterans of World War I,
to fight. He told them to scatter
the crowd so that they would not be
shot in front of the Hotel de Ville,
sc at of t) e German government in
Paris and which the resistance
groups had surrounded with mo-
chihe guns and armor.
Stephane fought all day and night
in front of the Notre Dame cathe-
dral. He was Wounded in one arm
when tiie Germans attacked with a
score of tanks and infantry, but they
were held off until 7 a m.
They went after the Hotel de Ville
with orlv 250 men and light arms,
and took it in five minutes. They
arrested Pierre Taillinger, mayor of
Paris and a Nazi sympathizer.
On August 21 the Patriots were
attacked by strong tank forces and
had to give way because they had
no heavy weapons. However, in re-
treat they captured two trucks load-
ed with machine guns and lighter
weapons, and killed a number of
Germans
These weapons enabled them to
recapture the hole! on August 22. On
that day there w« re only small skir-
mishes, but on August 23 the Ger-
mans attacked .the hotel strongly
again.
Trick Doesn’t Work.
Stephane engineered the capture
of a tank as sharpshooters killed its
occupants when they showed them-
selves. Meanwhile, the French
Forces of the Interior barricaded
Paris at all main crossings, with
pricks and trees.
The Germans tried to confuse the
French Forces of the Interior by
giving directions in Stephane’s
name. He countermanded all the
orders. The Germans made their
last attack at the Rue de Repub-
lique. The French broke this attack
with the help of 1.00 men. The next
day French forces with the United
States Third army thundered into
Paris to make freedom complete.
“My greatest reward is that not
a single Partisan was killed," Said
Stephane. "But there w-ere many
civilian casualties," he added sadly.
*>‘Our job now is to reorganize and
set up a government of free French.
That we can do.”

CHRISTIAN LIVING AT ITS
LESSOR TEXT—Gale Wane S7t -Mi
GOLDEN TEXT—If »r live in Mm
let ur ale* walk to the
5 25
Life and profession must be in ac-
cord. To follow Christ means more
than embracing a creed, or following
a ritual; it calls for daily living of
the highest type.
Herein Christianity differs from
all other religions. It is • Bring
faith in a living Lord—which pro-
duces a living testimony. Such a life
is
I. Spiritual (Cal. 5:22-26).
The Christian receives his new life
through the ministering of the Holy
Spirit Since that is true, “let us
also walk by the Spirit” (v. 25). Ev-
ery child of God (not just a few, as
some suppose i is to live this kind of
spiritually fruitful life.
The works of the flesh, horrible in
their wickedness and lust, are listed
in verses 19-21, and then by striking
contrast we have the fruit of the
Spirit in the life of the Christian.
Note the distinction: work is some-
thing we produce; fruit is something
that grows.
Walking in the Spirit the Christian
finds in his life the inward graces
of love, joy, and peace. These then
express - themselves outwardly in
long suffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, meekness, and self-cen-
tred. The Spirit-flUed man is not
only a good man, he lives a good
life.
II. Gentle (Gal. 6:1).
Christianity is not harsh and un-
forgiving toward one who has
.sinned. Certainly there can be noth-
ing but stem condemnation of con-
tinued, flagrant, impenitent sinning.
But toward the one who has failed,
the winsome attitude of loving res-
toration should be the first reaction.
There i ;ood reason for this, for
God is Irinu, and Christ would not
quench the smoking flax (Matt.
12:20). Then who are we, weak and
fallible human beings, to treat an
erring brother with hardness?
III. Kind. (Gal. 6:2-5).
We are to help the brother in need,
lift his burden and bear it tor him
(v. 2). At the same time do not go
around expecting anyone to bear
your burden (v. 5). Ask God for
grace and bear it yourself. If your
brother helps you—good. If not, do
not be offended. Too many Chris-
tians expect others to help.
Then there is the need for kind-
ness in thinking of oneself, and one's
neighbor. Pride is self-deception (v.
3) . It puts God against us (Jair ?s
4:6). We will have no time or occa-
sion to judge our neighbor if we
honestly appraise our own life (▼.
4) . '
IV. Honorable (v. 6).
While the Christian will not be
seeking any glory or reward for
himself, he will always be honorable
in caring for those who serve him
in the gospel. Salvation is free, and
no true preacher or teacher of the
gospel would set a price on it. But
the necessities of life must be pro-
vided, and it is the obligation of the
one vC*ho is served to "communi-
cate” of that which he has to his
teaching brother.
It need hardly be said that if tba
church had obeyed this and similar
admonitions found in many places
in Scripture, we should not have the
disgrace of an underpaid ministry,
of an understaffed church, and of
missionaries waiting to go with no
money to send them. Let us be hon-
orable about this matter.
V. Consistent (Gal. 6:7, 8).
There is an inexorable law which
brings only the harvest which is
planted. Too many Christians are
trying to reap the fruit of spiritual-
ity when they have sown only the
seed of indifference and worldliness.
It can’t be dene’
Self will is always struggling
against God’s will in the life of the
Christian. So\Ving to the flesh means
yielding to self And the result? Cor-
ruption. Yes, even in the life of a
Christian. Hew ?i >ch there is of
that, and how it hinders God’s work!
There is here the important truth
that the one who sows to the Spirit
reaps eternal life That speaks of
salvation itself, hut it til so speaks
of spiritual development.
VI. Diligent (Gal 6:9. 10).
It has been said that we have
three classes in the church—work-
ers, jtrkers anJ sLirhcrs. The shirk-
er dees nothing. One wonders wheth-
er he- is really saved, since there is
no sign of life. The worker is the
one upon w hom one can always de-
pend The jerkPT t.« the one who
takes hold mightily, and then Is gone
when you most need him.
Christian living at its best rails
for consistent, persistent, diligent
application to the work of God—not
only today, but tomorrow, and the
next day, and the next!
Note the suggestion of ryertsl
thoughtfulness toward our fellow
Christians (v. 10) Some folk oper-
ate on the opposite principle. They
treat their fellow believers with a
little extra coldness—a special de-
gree of suspicion and criticism. That
surely is not Christian living at its
best.
