MRS. oRMIsToN CHANT
Speaks on "socIaI Life In England
and on Social Purity.

The attendance upon the First Parish leo
ture on Saturday afternoon was larger than
usual The attraction was Mrs. Laura Or
mission Chant who spoke upon "Social Life
In England.
The Rev. DIR. Hill introduced Mrs. Chant
and expressed his regret that he was not
able to listen with the outward ear and said
that therefore he would heed case .of
duty elsewl ere.
Before beginning her lecture Mrs. Chant
sang song. accompanying herself on the
piano. She showed that she could sing as
well as speak Beginning her lecture she
spoke first in pleasantly sarcastic manner
of Max O'Rell's criticism of English life. To
know England, traveller must not dwell
in hotels but visit the homes Of the people.
She felt that she knew America because she
had made 1t a rule to speak only In those
places where she had been invited to the
homes. She then gave graphic account of
many of the experiences in speaking In many
places, being the guest of rich and poor. She
spoke pleasantly of her experience In reading
to the poor girls Of London, at a meeting at
which the Princess Louise herself presided.
She gave interesting accounts also of linger-
ing superstitions still to be found In the
secluded places of England. She spoke of
the treatment of the rubber workers at Sill
vertown and Of their strike; of the need OF
free press and of its evils being overcome
by the demands of a righteous loving people,
Of the movements in behalf of the suopres-
sion OF intemperance; of the lectures among
the poor given by the members Of the great
Universities; of Toinbee Hall; Of the
practice of tea meetings" where
drinking Of tea and listening to speeches go
together and Of her experience at one Of
these. given to the poor girls of London In
one of the most wretched parts Of the city.
In her concluding remarks, Mrs. Chant
brought tears to many eyes by her recital of
the the story Of meeting a poor girl on a
for supper and who promising to return
again, was taken sick and carried to a hos
pital Summoned to her bedside by tele-E
gram. Mrs. Chant was able to speak loving,
ssisterly words; II can believe in the love
gOf God. said the dy ing girl, "since you have
said such loving words to me-"
Mrs. Chants closing appeal that we should
be the representatives of Gods love to those
who need It, touched the hearts Of all her
hearers. Her wide experience among the
poor. her simple, natural. persuasive manner
Of speaking, make her one of the most faith
ful apostles of the doctrine that men are to
be judged by their deeds and not by their

Mrs. Chant spoke on Saturday evening In
the parlors of Mrs. George S. hunt in most
effective way. answering the usual object
ions to woman's suffrage. She made strong
plea for the votes Of women as necessary to
secure the full reformation Of our admins

Rev. Mr.. Blanchard on the Enforce
mont Of the Law.

ss'Sus ~ Sbs0 kaWs
In his sermon yesterday morning on John
Calvin. with lessons from his life for rulers
OF cities and the church today, the Rev.
Henry Blanchard spoke with great emphasis
on the duty of enforcing law. After eulo-
giving Calvin for his greatness, his goodness
and his transcendent service to education
and liberty, Mr.. Blanchard said that Calvin
in his ruling OF Geneva, was an example for
all rulers of cities today. When legislatures
had passed laws, and when Judges had de-
cided on their constitutionality.. the authori-
dies in cities were not to ask whether public
opinion in the special locality favored the
law. They were to execute It. The condi-
ton Of Portland, with regard to the enforce
ment OF some laws, was outrageous. He
was puzzled, as he had. said the Sunday be-
fore, to determine the causes and. to measure
the responsibility. He believed there were
honorable men In office. He believed that
they wished to execute the laws. Neverthe-
less, 1t seemed to him that they were not en-
forced as they should be. As minister of
God, he felt 1t his duty. In his own name
and in the name Of this whole great congre-
CATION, to call upon the rulers of the city to
remember that they were the servants of
God, that they were accountable to Him, that
large number Of believers in law, how
ever much they might wish to have some
laws changed, demanded the full enforce
ment OF all laws upon the statute book.
