We wonder how people can endure it,
and we feel sure that, in spite of the
principle enunciated by Milton in his
great essay for "The liberty Of unli-
censed printing" in spite Of the Anglo
Saxon hatred Of the censor and outside
restraint, sensible, patriotic and liberty
loving Americans will yet find some
way to rid themselves of this menace to
their dearest possessions. We can not
always sit passively by and see the
grace of patriotism and public spirit, of
high motives, of good order, of freedom
ridiculed and perverted by these rec,s-
less enemies Of the public to their ag-
grandizement.
| have pointed out several conspicu-
Gus examples of the working of the evil
principle of perversion of the good to
evil ends, which is condemned in my
text. There are many others which
you yourselves will easily suggest. We
of the nineteenth century and perhaps
we Americans seem more addicted to
this vice of perversion than other peo-
pie. Thus our athletics which should
be simple, natural, and generous-spiri-
ted. and truly recreative, are constant
ly being perverted into the instrument
of almost vindictive rivalry or of the
means of gain or of gambling. The grace
that is in manly sports is turned into
violent passion or sordid greed We
seem to forget how to use this noble re-
source without abusing it.
Again take as quite another example,
the Lords day. While, as you know,
am not at all an advocate Of those
extreme restrictions on the day which
were developed by the English reform
ers and which were exaggerated by the
usages of the Puritan and Pilgrim, and
while I see much to be commended as
and scriptural in the mod
ern uses of the day, yet it is deplorable
to see its peculiar grace, the grace of
complete separation from the stress and
worldhness of its weekday life, the
grace of divine -repose and communion,
1t Is sad to see this grace turned into
the opportunity for dissipation, for vul-
gar frivolity if not of rowdyism, vast
ing the energies of mind and body 1t
is not the wholesome use but the vic
ious abuse. the perversion of the day,
which we should labor to prevent in the
sacred interest of it's people.
Q, let us beware of this temptation,
which besets us on every side to abuse
Gods great gifts to us! Let us take
heed. lest we mock him and bring de-
struction upon ourselves, by perverting
these blessings and making them the in
struments of evil and not of good

ODD FELLOWSHIP.
Rev. DR.. Harris Addresses q
Large Audience on It's Tenets.
The Spirit OF BrotherIy Love and Fra
ternitY Embodied in the Order Set
Forth in Eloquent Terms.

Rev. NJ H. Harris, D. D., addressed
over 300 Odd Fellows of various degrees
at All Souls UniversaGist Church, Sun
day evening, upon Odd Fellowship. The
capacity of the little church was taxed
to it's utmost. The eloquent and feeling
words of the preacher found a warm
place in the hearts of the members of
the fraternity. DR.. Harris welcomed
the visitors heartily, and three floral
links and the word Welcome" resting
on the organ front, silently substan-
tiated his words. His text was from
Galatians V, IS: ''By love, serve one
another"
Christianity, he said, has introduced
into this world new estimate of the
relations between human beings. OF
old it was considered degrading to serve
a fellowman To labor for another, es-
pecially to perform any humble task
was thought to be debasing He only
was exalted who kept others in sub
lection to himself. The love of power,
combined with Incidence has Ted man in
all ages TO trample on his fellows Might
has made right and the strong have
kept them weak in bondage. To be
great, many conceive, is never to soil
the hands by personal labor and to
Snun under all circumstances those tasks
commonly performed by the servant
Not he who sits upon the throne de-
serves honor, but he that does good to
his brother. 1t is by serving, not by
being served by consenting to do what
you can and all you can for those who
need your aid, that you walk in the
path of true greatness. And not the
Bible alone, but nature also shows the
value of the trait 1 describe, which in
heres iii Odd Fellowship. The most
powerful agents in creation are honored
because they are agents-that is, actors,
workers, servants in the universe.
1t is positive honor to work for the
good of others To serve a single in
dividual is honorable, and the more
neglected and despised those we assist,
the better for us. Before enonor is hu-
mility. To secure true honor therefore,
one must humble himself and do the
least thing he can for another All use
fulness confers true responsibility and
true dignity. When that pioneer of Odd
Fellowship in this country, nearly 80
years ago, recognized that this useful
ness of service could play its forces most
practically in a human institution
founded on the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, he called into
organized activity a company of men
known as Odd Fellows, who were to
strengthen social bonds, to visit the sick,
relieve the distressed, bury the dead and
educate the orphan
These humane ideas of Thomas Will

strengthened that they have become
means to higher and greater end 'To
improve the character of man, to imbue
him with proper conceptions of his
capabilities for good, enlighten his mind

lead him to a cultivation of the true fra
ternal relation designed by the Great
Author of his being" lies at the founda-
ton of Odd Fellowship.
Grand Sire Wildey knew that it was
but a feeble beginning He understood
that there would be opposition, that for
the first years the work must be pioneer
work. His heart was fired with faith In
the principles of Odd Fellowship to make
their way effectively in the great hui
man world.
Odd Fellowship has been a great fac
tor in leading the children of men to see
God as father, and man as brother 1t
has been a great force under God in
tearing down partition walls which the
creeds of men had builded between peo-
Piles and churches until now people
shake hands and look across them / be-
lieve the fraternity which you represent
has had more to do in bringing the
churches together upon a common plat
form of work and fraternal relations
than any of us can estimate. If Odd Eel
lowship did nothing more than what it
has wrought in creating a spirit of love
and unity among the people of different
churches it would be crowned with the
benediction of a loving humanity and
the blessing of an almighty God.
In closing, DR.. Harris enlarged upon
the principles of the order-friendship
love and truth. He closed by showing
what the order had paid out in various
ways in aid of brothers or their depend
ent families

TO RAISE CHURCH DEBT.
Rev. A. G. Todd of Bethany Church Tells
His Congregation How He Pur-
poses to Do II.

Rev A. G. Todd, pastor of Bethany
Church, outlined to his parishioners, at
the morning service, Sunday, scheme
by which the pastor and trustees of the
church expect to raise the greater part,
if not the whole, of the present incum-
brance upon the church property. For
some time it has been felt that the
church debt, while comparatively small
should be iiquidated, and after several
meetings Of the trustees a line Of ac-
ton was determined upon, and it is in
tended to begin the work of raising the
money this week.
Rev. Mr.. Todd presented to his con-
gregation financial statement showing
that the building of the edifce exclu-
siVe of the land, cost originally a little
over $4,000 on which there is at pres
ent a debt of $500. In the past six
years the interest upon the debt had
amounted to nearly one-third of the
debt itself
The present plan, the pastor said, was
to call upon every member of the
church and congregation with pledges
asking that they promise to subscribe
as much as possible toward the debt.
After all in the church have been seen,
some Of those who have always mani
tested kindly interest in the churchs
work, but who may attend church else
where, will be given the opportunity of
contributing. The individual pledges
Will not be made public, but the total
sum contributed will be announced

THE FIELD WAS roo LARGE.
Harry |. 0admun Could Not Get Through
the Men Ahead of Him in the
New Haven Games.

Harry L. Dadmun returned to Wor-
cester Sunday morning from New
Haven, where he ran Saturday evening
as a member of the B. A. A. team at the
annual winter handicap indoor tourna-
ment of the Yale Athletic Association.
Dadmun started in the half-mile run,
being on the scratch in that event, and
in both of the preceding years in which
he has competed there, he has won the
event handily. Saturday night, however,
he found about 30 men on marks ahead
of him. and on the narrow Yale track
he found it impossible to work his way
through the bunch. 1t was the number
of men, rather than their ability to run
fast, that prevented Dadmun from win
ming again this year.

Two of Them Assaulted Countryman
with Knife and Base Ball Bat.

Noif Cory and Max Haddard, two ma
tives of Syria, were arrested about $50
o'clock Sunday night by Officers Harper
and Moynihan for assault and battery
on fellow countryman ramed Philip
Rizk
Rizk tells the following story of the
trouble: He had just left his home at IS
Cross street when the men grabbed him,
one of them raising a knife and threat
ening to stab him. He broke away from
his assailants and notified the officers of
the assault.
When arrested the men had an ugly
looking knife and small base ball bat
in their possession, with which Rizk
feels confident they intended to do him
serious injury.
The knife is a two-edged instrument
about 10 inches long. The handle is
shaped to fit the hand, and it looks as
though it would be dangerous weapon
in the hands of a determined man.
From what could be learned from the
principals there is an old standing
grudge between them, whicn the assail-
ants had evidently started cut to settle.
