FAST DAY.
How Portland People Observed 1T
Church Services.

Yesterday was bright and and was much
enjoyed by our citizens. Many drove out
into the country and many INDUCED in horse
back riding. A number visited the woods
for May flowers. There was the usual at
tendance at the churches. where services
were held, the places Of amusements were
well patronized and the ball games had their
patrons. Bicyclists made good long spins
out of town, finding the roads pretty dusty,
The Casco Bay Steamboat Company carried
large loads of passengers to the Islands,
Business was generally suspended.
TIE CHURCHES.
At Williston church prayer meeting was
held at o'clock, and at st. Lawrence street
church Rev. Mr.. Wright held services at the
usual hour.
At the First Parish DR.. Hill took his text
from Deut. VI; 6-7: "These words shalt
thou teach diligently unto thy children"
The sermon appeared, however, to have
been suggested by an article of Cardinal
Msnping. In which he implies that the laws
requiring the public schools to impress upon
children principles of piety and morality are
unconstitutional. The preacher showed
"
ton of the United States it is liberty of
thought and speech which is guaranteed I;
upon all subjects, and not on religion only I;
and the spirit of the amendment is, there
fore, not violated by teaching religion, but
only by the attempt to enforce its acceptance
through penalties. In fact liberty is guar
anteed not only to the individual, and the
parties in the minority. but to the majority
also; and to the government guided by the
majority. He protested against the popular
sharp distinction between religion and secu-
lar subjects the sphere Of religion was uni
versal, and the attempt to exclude 1t from
education mischievous. Freedom of thought
was no less, and no more. in religion than in
other spheres the government should, for
the sake of the public good, allow freedom
OF thought, and free expression on every
subject; limited of course by the proyiso in
the Maine bill Of rights, and in the new con-
stitution of Japan. Education under Catho-
licism was not so favorable to the progress
and we'll being of a republic, as that under
other forms OF Christianity; because 1t put
closer limitations about the right Of private
judgment. In the interest of the whole
country, therefore, the common schools
should be made so good, morally and intel
lectually, as to draw all the children of the
community irresistibly into them.
At the First Baptist church yesterday Rev.
A. K. P. Small preached an interesting SER
mon from James 4, 10: "The Privilege and
the Promise" The sermon was to show
that the prescribed humility is not sense of
guilt like that Of Annanias and Sapphire
nor self depreciation. like that of Jonah; nor
excuses Of inability, like those Of him who
had but one pound; nor sorrow. remorse,
like that Of Judas. But 1t is acknowledging
divine authority, and ones self the willing
servant. Then the very position of servant
OF Christ is best promotion, and in the SER
vice, for individuals, institutions, nations, is
surest. safest most permanent divine uplift-
ing.

The Lewis Case.

A Boston dispatch says that Mrs. K. X.
Leman, daughter of j. P. Lewis of Boston,
the man who died in the Portland police
station Tuesday night denies that her father
was in starving condition when found. She
says that on Monday morning he left his
home as usual to 30 to work and was COM
fortably dressed, In his working clothes, and
had his dinner-basket well filled with food.
He was employed about the wharves, and as
ne did not return Monday night, being man
OF punctual habits, his family became
alarmed and notified the police Of mis- disap.
pearance. The dispatch further says that
Mrs. Leman and family feel very keenly the
statement that MIR. Lewis starved to death.
and blame the Portland police for putting
him in a cold cell without at least calling
a doctor. The family think his mind must
have been affected.
No statement has been made by the Port
land papers that Mr.. Lewis starved to death.
and he was not put into cold cell.

Medicine

Spring sickness may be avoided by taking
Hoods 5arsaparilla in season. If you have not
felt well during the winter, If you have been over
worked, or closely confined in badly ventilated
rooms or shops, you need good tonic and blood
purifier. Take Hoods Sarsaparilla early and you
will ward of attacks of disease or escape the ef-
fects Of impure blood and that tired feeling, so
common in the spring. Do not delay.
