NEW YORK, March 16.-The reported arrival
of the steamship City of Boston at Queenstown
this morning is false The following cable
telegram has just been received here from the
London agent of the New York Associated
Press:-
LONDON, March 1920 P. M.-An inquiry
addressed by me to the agents of the Inman
Steamship Line is answered at 1'40 P. NJ. to the
effect that they have no information whatever
of the City of Boston, and that the current
rumor of her arrival is doubtless heartless

God thou h.s are not as our thoughts: look On
Dreading 20 climb some mountain far way,
Counting the sharp stones on Its tediouS way.
He cares for our small troubles. day BY day,
Smoothing then down.
We keep our patience for our greater cares,
And murmur, incorporating. Ter the less,
Thinking TO show strength in our distress
His patience with our hourly fretfuiness
Still gently bears.
Gods ways are not as our ways; we lay down
Schemes Tor His glory, temples for our King
W herein tribes yet unborn may worship Him:
Meanwh lille, upon some humble, secret thing
He sets His crown
We travel far to find Him, seeking STILL
often in WEAKNESS to reach His shrine,
Ready our choicest treasures TO resiRn
He, in our daily homes, lsys down the line,
do here my will"
There, in the lowly valley, walking on,
Come common duty all we have I o do
His higher thoughts of love make All thing "a new
His higher way" we tread, yea, leading to

n Boy ACCIDENTALLY KILLED ~ HIS
fATFi E---AnotheF most distressing accident
occurred in Boston the other evening, from
what was undoubtedly the result OF carelessness.
We h W had occasions frequently to chronicle
sad and heart rendering acci Tents which arose
from the gross, III not criminal. careless manner
IN which persons have handled deadly weapons.
and have never failed to caution the great care
that should be taken by those who for protec-
ton of life property are necessitated to carry
about them or keep in their residence firearms
or weapons of any char acter which are likely 10
produce injurious If not fatal consequences. The
facts given IN this case are substantly these: A
man named James McCarrOn, residing at No.
1t2 Prince street, wishing TO clean a loaded
revolver. undertook to draw the charge, and
while endeavoring to do so the pistol was acct
dentally discharged, the contents entering the
body or his little son, aged SIX years, who was
sitting IN a a chair, and killing him almost in
stantlv. The anguish of the father upon view
ing the lfeless body of his son, and knowing
that il was his carelessness which deprived him
of his child, can be better imagined than
DISQUALIFICATION Post.

The POPE AND RELIGIOUS LIEERTY.-The
London Catholic Mirror gives some incidents OF
an audience which the Pope gave to the Amer
can Bishops. The writer thus mentions the
Pope's reference to religious liberty: .'He then
referred 20 the subject of liberty of religious
wOrships. which. he said, in view of the estab-
E>hment of His Church by our Lord as the ark
OF safety and salvation, with his positive reyela-
ton Of the truth, could not be recognized in
principle. since all were bound to hear, believe
and obey GCi but which might. however from
particular circumstances of diversity of sects
and denominations, become a social necessity
a il l., he said, in the United States. where
there ale 50 MANY different religions He then,
laughing. called to mind the declaration of Mr..
Cas-. the former American Minister at Rome,
telling him that the Uuited States was stse most
T.}giaHS country ia the leorid.' having churches
and CTeedS of every sort, to suit all sentiments,
views and opinions. IL was certainly desirable
riiat All should believe and obey the one truth
an! where they were thus divided into creedS
and churches there was nothing 20 be done but
To leave them 20 their responsibility to God. In
the United States, said he. the church is left
free with the rest. and see not how there could
BE- any arrangement there which could be more
favorable To her.
