First Parish Church.

Rev. DR.. Charles F. Dole of the Unita-
rian church at Jamaica Plains, Mass,
formerly Congregational minister, and
located for several years in this city as
pastor at Plymouth church). preached at
the First Parish a powerful sermon,
taking, not as his text. but as his motto
he said. "GiveFreely. From this subject
he showed the duty of those who have
been blessed with greater advantages
than others to in turn strive from their
wealth of brains or gold to assist those
of their brethren less fortunate than
themselves, and he instanced the good
physician who relieves the sufferings of
those unfortunates who cannot afford to
employ his skill. The music by the
choir was admirably rendered.

WEATHER CONTRASTS.
They Trotted Horses in Aroostook ON
the Ice Yesterday, While the Dust Blew
in Portland.

A Portland man was seen yesterday by
the PRESS, and told how his journey
from Pressure Isle to Portland from Sat-
urday noon to Sunday noon, revealed
some interesting contrasts of weather
and climatic conditions. Saturday morn
ing, in Presque Isle, was bright, but
frigid. 1t was clear, cold winter morn
ing. Snow covered the ground every
where. All teaming was on runners, and
everybody was wrapped in great fur
coats. MI. James Phair was getting
ready to take out one of his fast horses
on the ice of the pond Sunday to try the
course for racing. Arrived at Delic
Junction, near Houlton, Saturday even
ing, the air was full of flying snow
flakes. On awakening in Bangor Sunday
morning, the Penobscot was blue and
clear from shore to shore, and was
striking contrast to the white and frozen
Aroostook and ST. John seen Saturday.
The snow had nearly disappeared around
Bangor, and though the roads were
somewhat muddy, the wheeling was
fairly good. All the way down towards
Augusta there was less and less snow,
and the delightful absence of frost in
Maine this year has left the roads almost
dry. Indeed, between here and Augusta
the roads were firm and dry, and in
many places dusty, and arrived in Port
land the air was warm and balmy, the
roads perfectly dry, rubbers unnecessa-
ry and spring overcoat in order.

A large audience was present at No. 10
Mellep street, Saturday afternoon. to lis
ten to the discussion of educational
questions by Rev. DR.. Dalton, Mayor
Baxter, Rev. Mr.. Hughes, and Miss Nor
ton. DR.. Dalton spoke on education in
general, Mayor Baxter treated more es-
pecially of manual training, Miss Norton
discussed kindergarten work, and Mr..
Hughes spoke of the compensation OF
teachers, criticising the low salaries that
are paid to our female teachers and the
discrimination against them in the mat
ter of wages compared with men who do
the same or even less work. The sympo-
sum was under the auspices of the
Travellers Club, and was greatly en-
loved by all present.

Women Bicyclists.

The death Of the lady cyclist from
syncope after a bicycle ride is Of course
the text for many fraternal warnings
and advice TO lady bicyclists to give mp
the enjoyment OF an exercise In which
II Is feared they may indulge to excess
They are, Of course told by some that BIZ
cycling is unladylike, II not unwoman-
ly, and that women do not know how
to practice the careful restraint in such
matters to which men are accustomed.
They may very well afford, however. to
treat all this sage advice rs at least su-
perfiuous. So far from being unsuited
for women, bicycling is an exercise in
which they may indulge with perfect
security and generally with much ad-
vantage We are persuaded that they
are as little prone to excess IN athletics
as are tho generality of men, and within
reasonable bounds we should like to see
cycling as generally praoticed by wom-
en- as by men, and it would be greatly
to the advantage of many cycling clubs
and cycling resorts that tho ladylike
element SHOULD be more largely intro
duced. British Medical Journal.

"How Does n Man knOwp
Quoth IN. II. s., IN recent is
sue of the SITTER: "How does man
know?-by believing, or doubting?"
Know what? What does my critic
have reference to? On the supposi
ton that he means the hereafter or
the supernatural, which appeals to
faith, not knowledge, should say he
does not know, nor woman either, for
that matter. Faith is more or less n
creature OF education and caprice /; it
is, in fact, the acme Of stupidity.
My opponent very complacently puts
faith before knowledge. The churches
have always insisted on that. But
faith is not knowledge; belief is not
knowledge. Such evidence IN. II.
s." does know, however, is not ac-
cepted by any court in this country
or any other. What person thinks
or believes proves nothing. "Abject
faith is barbarism. Reason is civiiza-
ton. Ignorance worships mystery
Reason explains it. The one grovels;
the other scars" Christianity never
had greater foe than intelligence,
and nothing is feared more by its
priesthood, for when man begins to
doubt he begins to think, read, rea-
son and investigate, and that is the
way he obtains knowledge, and not
by faith.
| agree with my critic on one point.
He says: "He who doubts the least,
has the most faith" There is no
doubt about that, sure. But when
he remarks that ale who doubts the
least, knows the most" shall have
to agree to disagree with him, for
that is rather poor logic, in my esti-
nation.
Faith is Of but little value, except
for friendship and commercial pur-
poses. TO use the words of another !:

give up my reason, aud no immortali-

of thought, rather than the dead calm
of ignorance and faith. Danish me

Gave Her Life For q Child's.

Ellen McGaugh Of Newark, N. j.,
recently saved the life of her little cou-
sin, Mamie McGinnis, at the cost of
her own. Miss MoGaugh was talking to
some friends on the street, while the
child played near. The little one re-
peatedly ran into the street, but no one
minded her until suddenly Miss Nc
Gaugh rushed from the group toward
the middle of the street. A trolley car
was speeding Rlong, and directly in front
Of it was the little girl. The child
seemed lost, but the plucky young wo-
man sprang in front Of the car and
pushed the child from the track. She
then tried to run back, but it was too
late. The car, at reduced speed. struck
her and threw her forward along the
track. When she was lifted from the
street. she had been fatally injured,
and she died before the hospital was
reached. Paterson Standard.

Some men are disposed to obey liter

Admits no fruit of all our long endcavor,
No fawn.wreathed crown we wore,
No garnercd lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown portal?
No gold, no gains
OF all our toiling; In the life immortal
No hoared wealth remains,
No guilt, nor stains.
Naked from out the far abyss behind us
We entered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind us
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starless night before us,
Naked we glide.
No hand has mapped the consultations Ger us,
No comrade at our side,
No chart, no guide. low.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black and hol
Our footsteps fare;
The beckoning OF Fathers hand we follow
His love alone Is there;
No curse, no care. e. X. Sill.
