BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 17.--The Boston alder,
men showed their authority as censors op
public morals to-day and revoked the

cause of this action. The play was first
presented here Monday evening, and a
burst of Indignation Immediately rose from
the better class of theater-goers.
80 pointed were the objections to it than
the board of aldermen took the matter in
hand. Last evening they visited the theater
In body and viewed the spectacle. To-

IN MEMORIAM.

A Tribute to the Memory OF tho Late
John Benjamin OF Milford.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
A few lessons from the long and 1abori-
GUS life of the late John Benjamin of Mil
ford may prove both interesting and bene-
fetal to some of the readers of your valua-
BILE paper.
He was man who toiled with his hands
from morning to night, but no matter
where he was found his thoughts were al
ways devotional, and when he repeated
long passages of scripture it was with such
love for it that ones own love for the
word was quickened.
He was for few years engaged as city
missionary in this city, and his especial
work was among the Hebrews. In order
the better to carry on this work he began
the study of Hebrew, in which he attained
such proficiency that few clergymen were
his equals.
His courageous and persistent protests
made in the meetings Of the stockholders
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad against the running of Sun
day trains will be well remembered by
those who have heard them.
One of his marked characteristics was
that he never spoke i'll of any one. Abuse
was often heaped upon him by the world;
he was often reproached by his fellow
Christians, but with it all he was silent.
Not even did he speak of it to those that
were nearest and dearest to him.
When at the age of eighty-four he laid
down this burden of life, those who had
| known him the longest felt that q man of
great originality of thought, of rare purity
and devotion had passed away.

Yesterday morning at the East Pearl
street church a large congregation listened
to an earnest sermon by the pastor, Rev.
II. D. Weston, whose text was from the
second chapter of Acts, second verse:
"And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind, and
it filed all the house whore they were sit
ting" The pastors address embodied the
following:
THE text follows Immediately after the text
of last Sunday, which was: And when the day of
Pentecost was fully come they were all with one
accord in one place. Following the text are the
words: And there appeared unto them cloven
tongues, like as OF fire, and it sat upon each of
ghost.
The time referred to is the day of Pentecost,
when the people were gathered together in the
house of God. His voice means nothing unless
we are prepared to receive it. and we shall be

Legislative acts are not efficient without the
support OF the judiciary, which is dependent on
the faithfulness of an executive If any one of
these are deficient deplorable consequences are
inevitable which illustrates the fact that any
one wrong brings disastrous results. We should
remember that our personal obligation to the
church stands first, and this obligation will re-
