VIGOROUS PROTESTS.

The following letter and reply there
to will be endorsed by Christians of
every name, who doubtless agree with
the writer of the letter that the case
referred to is one that calls for com
bined church action:
My Dear Bishop-The conflict be-
tween two Kentucky girls, lately no.
ticed in the newspapers, as to which
shall christen battle-ship, revives
q feeling | have always had of the
impropriety--to use a very mild word
of any such act. Cannot an inllu-
ence be brought to bear on the govern
ment that will cause it's discontinue
ance? To baptize II ship with whiskey
wine or anything else affects me the
same way as when some students
where / was in college were overheard
celebrating mock Eucharist with
whiskey and crackers. ! may be UNI
duly sensitive, but it does seem u
proper case for combined church

Bishop Nicholson, to whom the let
ter was addressed, in his Notes in The
Church Times replies to it as follows:
We thank our esteemed correspon-
dent 70 calling attention to IL recently
widely advertised scandal on the part
of our national authorities, and an
open act of sacrilcge, which is richly
deserving the scorn and censure of all
decent people When such an out
rage can be done without open pro-
test, and the religious feelings of
thousands can be so kcenly put to
shame by the Jealous rivalries of two
silly and foolish women, Us to which
one shall do this christening, encour-
aged by certain governmental author
tiles in Washington who at least are
supposed to have IL small modicum OF
common sense, and some little gravity
of Judgment, we are prone to ask
again and again whittier are we drift
ing, morally? And what satanic char
feature shall we see next amongst
these "cultivated society" people,
with most of whom religion is only II
fashionable humbug, plaything and
u sham OF course, this proposed
" christening of II battle-ship with IL
bottle of whisliey, is an act of BIAS
phcmy, and we would not be at all
surprised to find that big battle-ship,
at no distant day, having started with
n curse upon it, down at the bottom of
the ocean

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed q Friendship.

A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed Friendship.
One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in a very awkward
predicament on certain occasion, If a
story told Of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
Of friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordships house,
politely offered him a scat i'll his car
riage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but tho offer
was accepted.
Tho drive did not prove very So
ciablo one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in u low, but distinctly
audible tone Of voice, and his compan-
ion, to his establishment, heard him say ::
"I'm very sorry | accepted his offer.
don't know the man. 1t was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is | suppose l
must ask him to dinner. !"
Silence followed this bit Of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke tho stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly imitat-
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
"Perhaps he'll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, | would have
done the Same to any farmer on his
estate. hope he won't ask me to dim
ner, for | shan't accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. Ho listened to the others words,
Immediately compromising the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his involuntary rudeness.
Tho stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends. Youth Companion.
