Cromwell's Liberty of Conscience.

Certain Englishmen have been grossly
intolerant, but at heart the nation has, we
believe always been observation-disclosures,
that is, not to limit the action of the hui
man mind or to Constrain the conscience.
Here Cromwell was prophetically typical.
He first put into tangible shape England S
ideal of religious liberty-an ideal slowly
and painfully but resolutely pursued since
his time. Nothing could be better put
than his words on toleration: every sect
saith, Oh, give me liberty. But give him
it and to his power, he will not yield il to
anybody else. Liberty of conscience is a
natural right, and he that would have it
ought to give it. -
On another occasion he says, even more
definitely, 81 desire from my hearth have
prayed for it have waited for the day to
see union and right understanding be-
tween the godly people-Scots, English,
Jews, gentiles, Prcsbyterians, Indepond-
ents, Anabaptists, and all" Were we to
give all Cromwell's utterances on the sub
jcet of liberation, we should fill our col
umns. We will, however, add one more
example: Il NEEDLE not" he says, with
any mans conscience AS for the people,
what thoughts they have in matters of re-
ligion in their own breasts / cannot
reach, but shall think it my duty, if they
walk honestly and peaceably not to cause
them in the least to suffer for the same.'

"A series OF games to be played between

had some conversation with President

talked the matter over with Manager

be to have each of the four clubs play
twice In each city, thereby consuming IL

1t was Chevy Chase car. She was tall
and broad in proportion. Her gown was
very tight and her diamond earrings very
large and sparkling. She sat near the
end OF the seat, and she might have moved
along to make room for somebody else,
but she didn't. She simply sat and stared
haughtily ahead. There was a tiny little
mouse colored woman standing and the
sight of the bediamonded one made her
nervous. You could see her very toes
twitoh. At length she leaned over with
great politeness.
Pardon me, madam" she said, "but
have you paid for two seats?"
The stout woman was speechless.

And the other moved, but feel sure she
had apoplexy when she got out of that car.
