Friend Chase of the Lyndon Union
tries to ridicule the MONITOR and
other papers for protesting against
the running of railroad trains on
Sunday. Now we like that kind of
ridicule, but we think that man of
Bro. Chase's ability and influence
can be better employed than by TAX
ing the DEVILS side on moral ques-
tions. Mr.. Chase may take lottery
advertisements, contrary to law and
public sentiment, he may favor the
breaking of the commandment of
God in regard to the Sabbath, and
may cater to the wishes of that large
class in the world who care nothing
for morality or Christianity, that he
may thereby make a little more out
of his paper, but we shall not follow
his example in this respect, and shall
continue our opposition to all those
things which tend to bring down
moral sentiment to the low plane of
money making-by any means.
The Brown University Glee Club,
composed of five of the best singers
in the college, of whom mention was
made last week, will sing at the OPP
era House Hall, on Thursday even
ing of this week. They divide re-
ceipts with the Aid Society, and the
friends will find this an opportunity
to pass an evening most pleasantly,
while they contribute something to
church purposes. We are in receipt
of large number of complimentary
notices from the press, but give only
the following from the Claremont
Eagle:
''The concert was an exceptionally
good one and those who had expect
ed to find only a troop of college
boys out on lark were most happily
disappointed. The college song prop
er was of course prominent feature
adding fun and jest to the evening,
but more than this, the club exhibits
rare musical ability, combined with a
culture that would do credit to pro-
fessional organization"

Mr.. Editor.-Some of the womel

family connections forbid furthe

tar we will send down the feathers
