why the Usual Date Should be Changed
TO the Editor of the Kenne5ee Journal.

To the Editor of the KenaeJee Journal:
Now that Fast Day is over will You allow
me to suggest TO those in power the desirable
ity OF changing the usual dare for this time
hoBored observance. There are some strong
obvious objections to the present custom. TO
name but one, it seems strange that it should
not have occurred to our authorities that tE
co siderable religious bodies in the state, the
Episcopal church and the Roman Catholics
are just now in the midst of a great festival
season, that of Easter. in common with 300
millions of christians throughout the world
This may not have been an objection in wears
past but the observance of Easter as the an
niyersary of our Lords resurrection is not
Cow confined If | may use the expression
within the narrow limits Of the 800 millions.
Il Is spreading we know even among those
bodies who 0niy few years ago entirely ig-
nored the day.
As Easter then. even in our old Puritan
State, has come to be regarded as a festival
and al historical anniversary in which ..all
who profess and call themselves christians
are claiming again their rightful heritage.
shat could be more fitting than that the an
adversary in which all chriNian people ought
to be equally Interested. the day of their Lords
crucifxion, should be appointed as the annual
Fast.
Surely this unity of prayer and humiliation
before the cross of our common Lord would
be one grand step forward toward that unity
Of mind, of organic structure aud of outward
manifestation for which the hearts OF christian
people everywhere are longing, and for
which our crucihed Master pleaded when He
prayed that His disciple. might ''all be one,
as Thou Father art IN Ne and | in Thee, that
the wortd may believe that Thou hast sent
Me"
If this were done | believe moreover. that
the ineongruity of fast horses" and fast
bali" would largely, if not wholly, be done
away with. The christian people of this
state would be brought into touch. in one
important respect, with the vast majority of
their fellow christians throughout the world
and the crucfixion the supreme expression
Of the love of God (not of His wrath would
tend to be taken out of the region of
theological mist and would make its rightful
impress upon the popular mind as the most
tremendous and most gracious fact in all
history.
Permit me to add the statement that for
many years past Good Friday has been
appointed as the annual fast day in Connec-
ticut. and this year the Methodists in Massa-
chusetts petitioned the Governor to appoint
this day also in that State.

for the purpose of poisoning foxes. He had

none of the druggists would sell it to him

WATERVILLE.

Some new and startling developments are
in process in the Beal case. Ii is said that
Mrssrs Hall and Philbrook, attorneys for
Young Beai. have certain new facts in their
possession which are of vital Importance 1t
is impossible to ascertain at the present writ
ing Just what the nature of this new evidence
is but it is confidently asserted that it will
put an entirely different aspect upon the case.
The verdict has not vet ceased to be a topic
of conversation in Wateryille Itwas believed
that there would be either disagreement or
that the boy would be acquitted. The great
weight of public opinion is against the YER
dict as unwarranted by the evidence. A good
deal of sympathy is expressed for the prisoner
and this is enhanced by the fact that the fathers
estate turns out to be nsolyent and c0nse-
quently no funds are available for the defense
except the sum allowed by the State which
is already about exhausted in the payment of
the actual expenses of the preparation and
trial of the case.
