WHEN WOMEN VOTE.

The increase in the registration of woman
voters in Boston for the municipal election
was due to the same cause that produced
the enormous registration of over 10000
women voters in 1888. The cause of the
great increase of 1883 was due to the claim
that the Roman Catholics were trying to
get control of the school board. Certain
fanatical clergymen started an alarm
among the women, and under the appeal
of their spiritual advisors they hast
ened to register. Since 1883 the
interest of the women in voting
has greatly fallen off, until last
year only so per cent. of the registration
of 1855 was reached. The sudden rise this
year TO double the registration of last year
is said to be dne to the same cause which
produced the excitement four wears ago.
These facts illustrate the soundness of the
presumption that woman suffrage in
ordinary times would he silent. or if exer-
cised would only duplicate the masculine
vote, and when it did not do this. would
be dangerous and destructive because. at

lesson OF the exceptional Boston school
elections of lsSS and 1899 is to Us against

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Bishop Spaulding, of the Methodist
church. agrees with Cardinal Gibbons and
Bishop Potter that the Worlds fair should
be open on Sunday. He holds that Christ
was hostile to the rabbinical views of the
Sabbath and did not observe them. He
holds that the Puritan Sabbath was but a
revival of this Jewish rabbincal Sabbath
against which our Lord protested. 1t is
neither possible nor desirable that this
Puritan Sabbath should be brought back.
Concerning the Sunday opening of the
Worlds fair Bishop Spaulding says:
IT the churches use all their influence to ex-
ciude the laboring masses on the only day in
the week on which they are free, from innocent
and elevating recreation, they will do them a
wrong; they will injuro religion; they will
tard the progress OF civilization. 1t Is not
simply right to keep the gates OF the exposition
open on sundays, it is wrong to close them, In
the afternoon ut least. In Offering this unique
opportunity for self-impIovement to those who
have no other free day than Sunday. the man-
ayers OF the Worlds fair will give good example
to all the cities of the United states: they will
teach them that while the sunday is day OF
worship, 1t is also a day on which the whole
people should be invited 10 cultivate and Inn
prove themselves.
True lovers OF God and man will not be
frightened by the clamors Of the narrow minded.

that We serve God when We strive to make man

love. The opening of the gates OF the Worlds
fair on Sunday Will have no tendency to weaken

sent to social exile for less than fifty years
ago, as was Theodore Parker. Dr. Abbott
has spoken before the Lowell institute
and before Harvard College, whose doors
were equally closed against Parker from
1871 to his death in 1850; and against En-
erson from 1888 to 1867. These facts mark
an evolution which has invaded all
branches OF knowledge and all fields of
thought.
These facts, however, furnish no ground
for hopeless lamentatIon concerning the
decay of religion. The tendency of the
time is not toward irrciigion, but toward
putting religion on rational basis. This
rationalism teaches that the legends which
ascribe divine birth to Christ; ascriDe to
Him miraculous powers; that tell of halt
in the ceaseless march of nature at His
death; that report resurrection and ascen-
sion of his materiaiized spirit. are not the
life OF Christianity today, nor have they
been its potentiality with the masses in
the past. Jesus lives in the worlds heart
because of the truth He spake. the life He
led and the unselfish heroism with which
He met his fate.
Ii Jesus Christ is a man,
And only a man say,
Then of all mankind will cling to Him,
And TO Him will cling AWAY.
If Jesus Christ be a God,
And the only God, swear
will follow Him through heaven and hell,
The earth, the sea and the air.
Even John Stewart Mill, who is ranked
with such agnostics as Huxley, Darwin.
Tyndail and Spencer, declares that to have
lived in such a way as would approve itself
to Jesus Christ is as high standard of life
as can well be conceived of, and Huxley
himself has this reverent word for Chris
tanity:
Yet whose calls to mind what may venture
TO term the bright side Of Christianity; that
ideal OF manhood, with its strength and its
patience: its justice aud its pity for human
fralty; its helptuness, to the extremity of self
sacrifice; its ethical purity and nobility, which
apostles have pictured, in which armies of
martyrs have placed their unshakable faith, and
whence obscure men and women, like Catherine
of Sienna and John Knox, have derived the
courage to rebuke popes and kings, is not likely
to underrate the Importance of the Christian
faith as factor in human history, or to doubt
that II that faith should prove to be incompati-
bic with our knowledge, or necessary want of
knowledge, some other hypostasis OF mems

THE CaRYsANrHHMUM SHOW.
The Formal Opening az Catholic Ii
brary Hall Tonight.

The Formal Opening at Catholic Ii
brary Hall Tonight.
The chrysanthemum show, opening TO-
night at Catholic Library hall and lasting
until Friday night, appeals to all lovers of
beautiful flowers as we'll as to ell who love
to do good and help the orphans. Those who
have visited Mr.. Oelscnig's green houses ao-
knowledge his chrysanthemums to be the
finest ever seen this Ear south. The varie-
ties are OF the newest and most varied and
have had the scientific care that develops
the largest flower.
Besides the chrysanthemum display, a
division of the hall is decorated as room
for entertaining, with mantel and mural
decorations and a table set and adorned as
for dinner or supper party.
The main hall represents a garden, with
palms and ferns here and there, and the
petted chrysanthemums everywhere. The
refreshments will be ices, cakes, lemonade,
hot coffee and chocolate. Music, vocal and
instrumental, will be had each evening, and
a chrysanthemum dance from little misses
in fairy dress will be the special attraction
for tomorrow evening.
The proceeds of the show will go to the
Episcopal Orphans Home and to the st.
Mary's Orphans Home.
