the Lord. After the singing or the

church for tho death, of her Divine
Spouse. On Holy Thursday Of every
year the oils for Extreme Unction, etc,
are blessed.
Good Friday is. of course, a day of
unusual solemnity. The church offers
no sacrifice, nor is there any consecra-
ton of the Holy Eucharist. The history
OF the Passion. as related by ST. John,

is buried in the water of baptism as in

Who Are the Anarchists?

Lynn, Mass, dispatch of Sept ~:
The largest congregation ever seen
at a Sunday service in any place of
worship in this city assembled in
the Labor church today to hear the
Rev. Herbert N. Casson, preach on
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-10
the sub ject, "Who is the Anarchist,


The auditOrium was crowded with
people of all shades of political
opinions, including leading repub
licans, democrats and p0pulists,
several city officials, local labor
leaders and a delegation from the
Observation-Disclosures club of
Boston. The preachers fame as a
pulpit orator is not confined to New
England alone. He spoke for two
hours and reused his hearers to
high pitch of enthusiasm when he
said that Nebraska never had a
better loved son than Bryan"
The Rev. Mr.. Casson said that as
his service was political one, he
would omit the reading of the
Scripture lesson, and by way of
preface read portions of several ed
itorial articles bearing on his sub
ject from the New York Journal,
which paper, he said, was 1.-THE
most progressive organ Of public
opinion published in the Eastern
states today. Mr.. Cass0n said in
part:
The laws of prosperity are to be
discovered, not constructed. The
real legislator for whom this ma
ton waits is he who shall find and
dare to proclaim the perfect social
order foreordained by justice from
the beginning of the world. The
real anarchists is he who seeks to
violate the laws Of nature for the
exclusive benefit of a small fraction
of the community.
During the present campaign the
epithet "anarchist' has been hurled
at the heads of some of the noblest
and most capable men that this
generation has produced. The
fierce searchlig ht of publicity has
blazed upon these men for years,
and not single corrupt official act
has ever been discovered.
Bryan is caricatured, just as Lin
coin was, as a highwayman, as
pirate, even as the devil, and in
many similar ways. Whether
Bryan's political views are entirely
correct or not, who can deny that he
is citizen of whom any nation in
the world might boast:
Whether we consider the sustain
ed ability Of his addresses, his
gentlemanly endurance of Islander
and Misrepresentation, his un-
sullied public career, or the mag
netism of his unaffected cordially
