A RELIGIOUS STUDY OF BAP-
TIST TOWN.
Rev. William Bayard Hale, in the
February Forum.

FEBRUARY fOruIn.
The familiar differences of theology
and practice which elsewhere divide
Christians, become here (Westerly, r.
ID, however, minor and unimportant in
the presence of a controversy which
rends the religious, social and COM
mercial life of Westerly to its foun-
dation. The one great fact concerning
the town. the shadow upon it's ex,
istence, the block in the path of its
progress, the strange, distressing and
bewildering occurrence which weekly
chills its religious enthusiasm, is the
observance of different holy days by
two parties who, denying each other
by their most apparent feature, keep
I'D the ghastly farce of calling each
other "brother.' Three of the Bap-
tist churches keep Saturday, and dis
regard Sunday.
The membership of these societies
constitutes if not now numerically
half the community, practically more
than half of it. 1t includes the pro-
prietors of large machine shops, and
employers of labor. Until lately, ii
was impossible on Saturday to make
a purchase at single retail shop In
town. the supplies for the days table
had to be bought on Friday. On Sat
urday Sunday-keeping Christians are
embarrassed in their work by the ces'
sation Of labor on the part of half
the population. as on Sunday Sabbath
keepers are by that of the other half
No device could more completely dis
organize society or disturb business.
The consciences of Sabbath observers
are offended on every Saturday by the
behavior of their neighbors, while on
Sunday. Lord 's-Day Christians are
awakened by the scream of factory
whistles, go to church to the edifying
music of lawn-mowers, pray and sing
amid the shouts of boys at play, and
listen for the benediction over the
rumble of carts. 1t Is a singular SEN
sation for New England Christians,
sons Of the Puritans, to reflect that
while they are at worship, drills are
resormding in the quarries, and that
the machinery of factories is in opera.

TOSSED ABOARD BY WAVES.
Strange Tale of the Finding of Float
ing Cask of Wine.
Oregonian.


City Physician Wheeler has two bot
ties of claret of uncertain age and still
more uncertain flavor, which he de.
lights in Offering to his friends, moi
because of the fine quality Of the wine
but because it gives him a chance tc
tell again a story of the sea that is Q
little out of the ordinary. The claret
is put in lime bottles, such as may be
found aboard any long-voyage vessels,
and, while its most pronounced flavor
is q cross between the lime juice and
salt water there is still "smack" II
it that reminds one that 1t must haV
been at one time prime stuff" Dl
Wheeler was presented with the bot
ties by Captain Dexter, of the BIRTHS
ship Samaritan, which recently lef
this port in cargo for Liverpool, an
the captain told the following story OF
how he came by them.
In the fall Of '93 we were bound
from Liverpool to Shanghai in ballast,
and We're nearing the Horn when a
big storm overlook us. We hove to
and drlfted about 1000 miles off shore.
The storm was one of the worst 1
have ever experienced in 20 years of
seafaring life, and one night when big
seas were breaking over u.s. a big,
burly fellow from the forecaste came
aft, knife in hand, and walked direct
ly up to me. 1 thought for a minute
that mutiny was aboard, and drawing
my revolver, ordered him to stand
back. Eut i soon saw that he was
terribly frightened, and, with chat
tering teeth, he told me that fright
full looking object was houndering
about amidships. L went with him to
see it, and, sure enough, whenever a
wave struck us, huge, black body,
glowing in the phosphorescent blaze
of the tropics, could be seen founder
ing about on deck. | soon ascertained
that it was lifeless, and then proceeded
to investigate. 1t proved to be moth
ing but huge wine-cask, every stave
of which was encrusted with parna-
cles, and it had probably been left On
deck by a receding wave. Visions of
dead bodies buried at sea in casks
loomed up before me as ! lashed the
trophy to the rigging, to await day.
light before investigating. When the
storm cleared away l tapped the cask
and, by means of long iron rod, as,
certained that there was nothing but
liquor in it. l drew off some of the
stuff, and tried it on two rcrtugege
sailors on board. They pronounced it
prime, so we all took a taste. After
that | drew off all the wine and stored
it in these lime bottles, the only thing
l had handy. The cask l placed in the
British museum, Shanghai, FOR It was
q real curiosity. The chances are that
cask of claret was thrown overheard
from some wreck, and it must have
floated about in mid-ocean cor three
or four years at least before 1t came
aboard of us. Barnacles do not form
on floating wood in less time than that
and the cask was so covered with
them that not bit of the wood was
visible. 1 have had many strange ad-
ventures at sea, but that is the strang-
est.

ground in better condition for spring
work.
Old monotony is getting bald head

are willing to turn them over to you
at bargain. Take them now for we
shall not offer them again.
We have no violators of the law. no
joints to complain about, neither
quarrel, fight or neighborhood row.
No quarterly or other kind of meeting
to write up. Our people are truly
good.
The new features of the WORLD are
the source of a good deal of comment
and satisfaction to it's patrons. We
cheerfully send in such incidents as
we think would be of interest when
we have any.
The wheat in this locality is clear
out of sight, fact its been out of sight
ever since last fall. The worst i'm
paired is that which made but slight
showing above ground in the early
winter. The later sown is in much
better shape. The situation as we
in banking on flush wheat crop this
year.

our county officials may have, we
would inform them that her of excel
