The other day gentleman who had Wit

their machines conspicuously numbered.
To some, no doubt, this suggestion appear
ed TO be somewhat drastic. In the light
of recent occurrences however IL does

He Resisted Arrest and Forced a Police
man 10 Use His Club.

According to several eye witnesses Po-
liceman flaming numerically ard un-
necessarily dubbed a drunken man on
weybosset street last evening, but accord
ing TO the officer, whose testimony was
corroborated by that of Patrolman Butts
and Sergeant Smith, the drunken indi-
vidual got no more than he deserved. In
the first place. he was fighting drunk,
having been detected in a fisticuff alter
cation with another man in front OF the
Athletic Association building, which
was the cause OF Officer Tanning inter-
fering. In the second place he insisted on
living In front OF an electric car, thereby
stopping several for long time, 1t icing
early in the evening. In the third place
he concluded to slick" the policeman and
started in TO do IL In good shape. In the
fourth place the policeman's club had to
be used, but the drunkard's head was
not broken, neither was he tut to sleep,
hut the officer had to protect himself.
Officer Butts helped ont toward the last,
so far as he was able, and finally Sergeant
Smith showed up and between the three
the man was loaded into the patrol
wagon, but not until he mad enjoyed an
other "spasm,' during which he almost
knocked the sergoant's nose out of joint,

From these two starting points, the
movement has gone on increasing in
magnitude and power. The Sunday
School, since its origin. has always been
a source OF especial strength among the
English speaking people. IL is indeed
one of their crowns. In England, 10 years
ago, the royal family. the archbishop OF
Canterbury and other dignitaries of the
esta plIshed church, with the Lord Mayor
OF London, and other distinguished civil
ians, celebrated the esta blishment OF the
Sunday School I'm Great Britain. Here in
the United States. with its simpler de-
mocracy, the leading clergy, men of all
demon nations and the most famous of
our public msn have always been foro-
most in furthering its interests. Indeed
some of them are teachers of Bible
classes in the Sunday School.

School convention movement reveals the

in Sunday School mem bership from 1890
to 1923 was a trifie over one mIlion, the
total membership at that tine being g.

white harvest field, SO encouraging at

at st. Louis to get inspiration TO go; md
at Boston this year,to take new census,
gather new facts, fresh hope, and large
ouragement.
And New England, perhaps, especially
needs this inspiration. There are in the
evangelical Sunday School over 200. 900
scholars and teachers, tut this vast num-
