Westminster Church.

Rev. Herbert Mott, the pastor, and
Mrs. Mott will hold q reception at their
home, 274 Washington street, on Wednes-
day next from until 10 O'clock p. m.
Yesterday, communion Sunday, Mr..
Mott preached brief sermon on the sub
ject of the church and religion, taking
for his text the words from the 14th
chapter of Luke, "Go Up Higher" This
admonition Of God to 60 up higher and
thereby become more worthy OF Him Is by
no means an easy one to obey
and without the help OF religion
quite impossible. As there u force OF
gravity In all material things, SO In the
spiritual world there seems to be force
that draws the soul downward. IL is an
influence that Keeps US lettering along the
way, dulis the love OF better things and
keeps US from going up higher.
But We must not yield, and the power to
resist lies not in ourselves alone. We can
not overcome the downward force with
moving force of all mental greatness. 1t
has been the energizing force that re-
deemed the world from anarchy in the
middle ages. 1t has been the source OF
civilization and the inspiration of art. A
force that can raise nations osn also raise
individuals.
Religion is not permissive. 1t Is i'm
perative II you would truly live. Indif-
ference TO 1t will result not alone In stag
nation. 1t will result In a downward and
backward movement. Outwardly you
may seem successful but there Is nothing
more pitiful than the man who has
deliberately put away religion. His life
Is sham, semblance without
the reality. Not that 1t is neces-
sary to avoid worldly success
that has its advantages though they are
much overrated. Bot there are other sue
cesses than the material ones OF this life,
and IL Is the other successes which the
texts points to in the admonition TO 60 up
higher.
Tie music of the morning included
both the new and the old. Miss Dean
sang with exquisite taste, Flee as
Bird" song which like many other
masterpieces has a beauty that has won
for IL a permanent welcome. Mrs. Hascall
sang a song new to Providence, by Thom-
as, "Thou Art With Me-" words OF prayer
in n setting OF sweet melody. In the even
ing the solo was, Hear My Prayer" by
'Mendelssohn.

The result of the contest for the posi-
ton of recorder of deeds of the City of
Providence seems to be chiefly case of
rebuke to ungraciousness Of disposi-
tion in public Office. Recorder
WILLIAMSON had been associated with
the work of the department for
AZ years, and its chief since it was
created department by itself, % years
ago. We congratulate Mr.. JOYCE, the
new recorder, and trust that he may
successfully maintain the prestige of
this city office which is of extraordinary
responsibility and tremendous public
importance, and which his predecessor
developed to q degree of efficiency and
reliability that gave it high rank at
home and abroad.

TRIUMPHANT WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Woman suffrage in Wyoming has
worked admirably according to high
authority. Wyoming is the only State
in the Union that has universal suffrage,
and the chief justice of the Supreme
Court of that State testifies that it has
been weighed and not found
wanting; that it has tended
TO secure good nominations for
public Office; that the women, as class.
refuse to vote for incompetent, immoral
or Inefficient candidates; that it has
made elections quiet and orderly; that it
has not marred domestic harmony; that
it has brought together the enlightened
common sense of American manhood
and the unselfish moral sentiment of
American womanhood; and that while
the women are not Office seekers, it has
tended to turn their attention to the
study of the science of government-an
education that is invaluable to the
mothers of our race.
In ten states. Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, Georgia, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Virginia and West Virginia, women are
not permitted to vote at all. In
eighteen states, Connecticut, Illinois.
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts,.
Michigan, Minnesota. Nebraska, New
Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont. Wisconsin they are
entitled to vote on school questions

frage. In Rhode Island women may
