Miss Kimball gave an address to h


Miss Kimball gave an address to her
school Wednesday morning on Cuba and
the present war craze, bringing outrin
the course of her remarks the natural
feeling which Spain must possess at
seeing her once immense possessions slip
from her hands, her great history as a
colonizing nation, and her war-liRe at
titude. She deduced the idea in the
course of her reasoning that war with
Spain was highly improbable, and al
most impossible, and advised her pupils
about the course of reading which they
should pursue.
There was a large attendance at the
mothers child study circle which met
Wednesday with Mrs. H. L. Parker. The
training of children was the subject of
the informal discussion. Next time the
circle will meet with Mrs. A. H. Long
ley, and Mrs. c. w. Fisher will have.

amusements."
Mrs. ]. B. Stone entertained a large
audience at the Second Parish Club,
Wednesday night with an able and
comprehensive paper on italian cities
of the 14th and 18th centuries" The
feuds and chickering's of pope, prince and
emperor, and the jealousies existing be-
tween Pisa, Bologna, Florence, Genoa,
Rome and the other leading cities of
the time were sketched. The ferment
of the time, as it displayed itself in the
struggles between conservatism and
progress, commercialism and militar-
ism, was described, and particular at
tention was given to the social aspects
of the civilization Of the day, especially
as illustrated in the lives Of the noble
families. The essayist regarded the So
cial and political conditions of the time
as being exceptionally adapted to fos-
tering the growth of individuality, a
point in which modern conditions, su
perior though they be in many respects,
are comparatively weak.
Prof. Zelotes Coombs, Rev. A. S. Gar
yer, Col. E. B. Glasgow and Mr.. H. A.
Farwell took part in the discussion that
followed.
The next meeting of the club will be
March 9, when Mr., William F. Abbott
will speak on Homer. A number of Mr..
Abbot's pupils from the Classical high
school are expected to be present.
The following interesting curio, ex-
humed from the stone quarries on
Mount Sinai by Moses & Co, was to be
had at the give and take party at the
Church of the Unity, Tuesday. AS a
10th century version Of the Mosaic code
of morals, by which we all profess to
govern ourselves it is worthy of a
wider circulation than it could obtain
then. With the exception of the first
commandment, there is probably MOTH
ing in these commandments which does
not apply with equal force to parishion-
ers Of other churches than that for
which they were originally written:
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Thou shalt have no other church but the
"Unity;" for thine is an heritage of two
generations, and IS worth keeping in the
family.
Thou shalt not make craven image of
thyself, nor bow down and worship. Thou
canst do better and not half try
III.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord
in vain by calling thyself Christian with
out appropriating some of the genuine
Christian graces.
Thou shalt keep the Lords day with at
least half the zeal thou seryeSt the "other
fellow" or thyself (same thing) on the
other days of the week, dividends or no
dividends.
Honor thy father and tlfy mother-espe-
cially thy mother-by trying to be a credit
to the family. Remember that thy parents
have had troubles of their own, and thou
vert one of them.
VI.
Thou shalt not kill; the practice is un-
healthy in this latitude, and besides, it is
not good form" There are, however,
several forms of cold-blooded murder that
escape capital punishment in this common
wealth. Kindly thoughts and kindlier sl-
lence are not the weapons usually en-
ployed in such cases.
Keep thy soul clean. A daily spiritual
bath takes out more dirt and costs less
than any other toilet preparation on the
market,
Thou shalt not steal but the recording
angel could probably convict the average
mortal as kleptomaniac, in taking credit
to others, every day Of HIS Exceptions
to all rules-thou art probably the excep-
tion.) Congratulations!
TX.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor, especially if thou hast diff

quick market. Plain everyday commercial
lying is the masculine form of this accom-
plishment.
Thou shalt not coYet, unless thou wishest
to breed a famine. The habit soon be-
comes morbid appetite which even the
Earth" fails to satisfy; "A contented
mind is continual feast" Make a note of
it!
