In which the Friends are largely represented
In the population. There are in Philadelphia
sixteen Quaker meeting houses. In New

The Stuyvesant square meeting house,

tablished by an Englishman, George Fox,
and Englishmen generally we're the chosen

found to be only 1900 protesting Friends in

an average longevity greater than the general
population, their death rate during twenty

ANNUAL SERMON.
Bishop Mcvickar breaches Before
the Epiphany Brotherhood.
Large Congregation Listened TO His
Words In Church OF the Epiphany.

Yesterday being Ascension Day. and
also the anniversary OF the foundation Of
the Epiphany Brotherhood, Right Rev.
william N. McVickar. bishop coadjator OF
the diocese OF Rhode Island, delivered
the annual sermon In the Church OF tire
Epiphany at Elmwood last evening. TAX
ing his text from the 18th verse of the
10th chapter OF the Acts OF the Apostles.
Bishop MoVickar's sermon was listened
TO with the closest attention by the very
large audience.
He said in substance that We could
scarcely imagine life 50 low that has
not an idea OF a higher purpose than
mere earthly existence. There may DO
some that are so absorbed In satisfying g
their hunger that they have no thoughts
for nobler aims. This is the pclt on our
economic system. Was there ever SO much
good done as when men realized their
work. There is, first of all. vision of
the truth and then call to put 1t into
reality. For every true worker there must
be vision and a practical application.
The best can only he realized in belief
when In the purpose OF our lives. we
recognise the purpose of God and Its
claims upon us.
1T may 10 that the light OF another
world alone may bring ittaoe TO face with
its reality, with It's master. But In the
darkness Of the outer world We may not
see its full meaning. Some uisappoint-
ment, some sickness, some misfortune,
something that comes to rs all may force
from Us for time the truth. But sooner
or later we will hear the inspired voice
Of st. Paul leading Us on. Like the gar.
ment OF spring spreading over the barren
winter fields, We may suddenly feel the
change and enthusiastically stand on our
feet, filled with the desire for truth.
Many time the man feels for something
nobler than he has yet found, but delay,
some smothered or crowded out resolu-
tion, lose the man bis vision. How many
visio Mess. soulless men and women live
today, as though there was nothing but
the earth about them, nothing but the
sky above them.
"The only completely noble, useful life
the only life that truly stands on It's feet,
is the one that has In IL the realization
OF the puprose that comes from God. 1t
is not that Life that stretches away into
eternity, but that life that Is now that
life that God has entered.
Let Us realize 1t In ourselves and as
we turn our vision to everyday work, We
shall bscome witnesses OF q life worth
tivlDg.'

important piece OF public busi-
ness.
The underground committee
was probably as gratefully sur
rrised at the ease with which their
task was accomplished as is the
public. 1t is. indee d, understood
that the Narraganse tt Company
offered to put their wires under
ground without more than being
asked what position would be
taken in the matter of the PROPOSE
ton. The committee recovered
from the shock. however and quite
naturally assumed the expression
of countenance that we are familiar
with in the authentic portraits of
Little Jack Horner upon the dis
covery that the coveted plum from
the Christmas pie was betwixt his
finger and thumb.
These soulless corporations are
probably not such bad lot when
you come to know them, even
though they may seem to resent
it when q lot of small politicians
undertake to bullyrag them and
use them for bogies to scare votes
out of the people in the interest Of
discredited political machines.

ANOTHER THEORY DIspRovED.

existence depends upon clap-trap.
ANOTHER THEORY DIsPR0vED.
The war is disproving a num-
Der of theories that have enjoyed
a desultory discussion with the re-
suit of usually wrong decision
during an extended period OF
peace.
The News has already taken
occasion to point out some of these.
The idea that possessions or at
least coaling stations off the main
land would complicate our national
affairs is one of the vanities now
disproved. Hawaii and St.
Thomas would be highly useful
these days.
The idea that the government
could have no interest in the Mic
aragua canal is disproved by the
Oregon's long voyage of eight
weeks. The battleship might have
reached this coast in as many days
had the canal been open and under
control of our government.
The twin mistakes of maintain
ing no standing army and only a
small navy are amply demonstra-
ted today.
AS to the latter the kind of a
navy we thought we wanted stands
sharply contrasted to the kind we
now know we want.
The beginning of the navy was
the famous White Squadron COM
posed of the cruisers Chicago, At
lanta, Boston, Philadelphia and
Yorktown. They were pretty
ships, useful in their way and it
may be recalled that in our naval
development from that nucleus
there was a strong demand for
more of the kind and an equally
strong opposition to battleships or
fighting cruisers of account like
the splendid Brooklyn. The vain
idea was that commerce destroy
ers" were the thing needful for
navy. We had England in view
at that time as a possible enemy
on the seas. 1t was urged with
fatal ignorance of the elements of
sea power that in naval warfare
activity akin to privateering
would win. A fleet that should be
strong enough to destroy COM
merce and fast enough to avoid a
fight with an aggressive naval force
was considered the thing.
The handiest sort of ships, the
armored cruisers like the Brook
lyn and New York, the only two
of that class we haye, were aud re-
garded as doubtful acquisitions for
all their value was urged by men
who spoke with authority, we
we're long time about investing
in battleships.
Fortunately we now make a
good showing with battleships but
unfortunately the armored cruiser
class is limited to two ships-un-
fortunately, because the nation
with which we are now at war,
weak as it is, is particularly strong
where we are the weakest, in
armored cruisers ships that can
steam as fast as protected cruisers
and fight almost as well as battle
ships-that are, indeed, battleships
of secondary class in armament
and cruisers of frst-class in
speed and steaming endurance.
With two exceptions, our ships
that can overh aul the Spanish
feet now somewhere off our south
ern coast cannot fight them while
our ships that can fight them ca n
not overhaul them.
Our navy possesses two dozen
protected and unprotected cruisers
and gun boats. We have quar-
tette of as fine battleships as there
are in the world. We have only
two OF the class OF armored cruisers,
a half dozen OF which today would
be Of more use to us than the two
dozen light cruisers.
