LATEST
BAPTIST SOCIAL UNION.
/" The Place and Power Of the Baptists
In the Present Conflict"
Was the Subject OF an Able Paper by
Rev. j. IL. Ever of the Union Bap-
tist Church Last Evening.

There was meeting ofthe Rhode Island
Baptist Social Union last evening at III
linghast Assembly Rooms at which nearly
the full mem mbership with large number
of guests were present to enjoy the quar-
terly dinner and the speaking.
The principal speech was by Rev. j. h.
Ever, the pastor, recently called
to the Union Baptist Church, who
chose for his theme "The Place
and Power of the Bfptists in the
Present Conflict" IL was Mr.. Ewer's
first appearance In this city before any
public audience, oth9r than that OF his
own congregation. He was most cor
daily received by his hearers last night
and In his remarks, at times witty ana
at times serious and eloquent, ne
showed himself worthy of the generous
applause accorded him as an after dinner
speaker. An abstract OF his address IS:
saThe time has not arrived when we may
inscribe npon our bnnners the ne plus ul-
ira OF self-satisfaction on'the assumption
that we have accomplished all but
rather 'plus ultra and then work on to
attain what is yet before US. There GER
tainly is a conflict. The questions and
problems of this century are greater and
more vital than any of preceding times,
and to solve them, to right the wrong and
overcome the evil TO substitute the
battle il and touching shoulders along
that line press on in the name OF the
Loro.
eve are denomination of grand ideas
and the old denominational ideas must
take full possession of us for nothing bet
ter than they opens to us such asplendid
field for work, for possible and positive
convictions. We need the presence OF the
spirit of heroism. Don't let us be.want-
ing In the hour of danger, and let such
thing as flight from the. conflict be for
gotten. 1t in Gods WORK, aud with the
same spirit which was i'm Martin Luther
we must face the enemy. Have
no timidity in our dealings with the soical
and political problems, but be Christians,
always In the struggle for good govern
rnent and in the continual attempts to
adjust public affairs until they shall con-
form with Gods will. And we need
moral earnestness, enthusiasm in the
work more than all e'se. Christ was an
earnest man, always working, always
doing good, but never lettering. Activity
is the philosophy of life in the church
and out of It. Stagnation is death. The
times demand the best and noblest Of us
all. Let rs sacrifice all for the further
ance of Gods great plans, not 10 conform
to this world but to be transformed"
Rev. ID. w. Faunce, ID. d., of the First
Church, Pawtucket, spoke OF "The Better
Brotherhood" Good music for the even
ing was furnished by quartet from the
Friendship Street Baptist Church
the bass 4 colo from Tanheuser,
so Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star"
The meeting closed with the singing OF
the doxology by the company and bene-
diction was pronounced by Rev. Albert
Green, OF East Providence.

No Tax on Champagne.
0.ondon Telsgraph)

The great wine growers OF Rheims and
Epernay have been up in arms against a
proposal OF the Paris municipality to Inn
pose a fresh duty OF half a franc a bottle
on all champagne entering that city. IL
appears that there Is deficit In the mu-
nicipal budget. and II was hoped by this
means 10 raise a large sum. The cham
pagns houses. however. have pointed out
that as the proposed measure would have
the effect OF checking the consumption u
81 doubtful whether any large increase OF
excise receipts would result, while the In
fury done TO the trade would be great.
Already they complain, much mischief
has been done by the famous protect4pist
tariff OF 1892 since which there has 4 eI'
a dirninution In the sales representing
100000 francs. Wine from the Gam
payne district Ia now imported into Ger
mary. ard there put into bottles by
French workmen. the German manufactu-
ers cutting out the French firms In the
foreign markets.
Previous 10 1899 there was large yearly
Increase In the trade. In 1874 orly $500. go
bottles were sold In France or abroad; In
1891 the number OF bottles had risen TO
nearly es, 10000. OF which more than 1900
90 were exported 20 foreign countries.
In consequence OF these representations
the Chamber OF Deputies has vetoed the
proposed tax. and the municipal authori-
ties are contemplating as an alternative
an Increased TAX on beer.
