T PROTEST AGAIN.
Grace Church Trus-
tees Again Attack
Brigham.
STRONG DOCUMENT
Erection Of Wire Parti-
ton Termed a
"Quibble."

Grace church again protests against
the granting of the license to the State
Mutual restaurant, and Rev. DR.. James
Boyd Brady, their new pastor, is with
them with all the fire and energy of his
nature. A special meeting of the board
of trustees was called at the close of the
evening meeting, and although DR..
Brady was not a participant, he was
an interested spectator, and gave his
full approval to the action that was
taken. DR.. Brady did not care to dis
cuss the question outside or to express
an opinion upon the question of grant,
ing license to the State Mutual res
taurant until he had familiarized him
self with the subject to a greater ex-
tent. With DR.. Brady behind the board
of trustees, the protest to the license
commissioners. will assume a formid-
able aspect, as DR. Brady is a fighter
from start to finish
The meeting was brief the full board
being present. The formal protest as
| read was unanimously adopted, and to-
day John F. Crowell, chairman of the
board of trustees will file the protest
with the license board The trustees
speak out in clarion tones of what they
call bubbles to avoid the full tenor of
the law, and state that the division Of
room by the erection of a lattice par
tition fails utterly to conform to tNe
spirit of the legislative enactment. In
other words, the effort of the restaurant
people to secure the approval of the
church has been in vain, and the trus-
tees refuse to bend the knee an inch.
The protest itself as signed is as fol-
lows:
ITO the Honorable, the License Com
missioners of the City of Worcester:
We the trustees of Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church do hereby protest
against the granting OF a license Tor the
sale ofintoxicating liquors to A. A. Brig
ham, in the State Mutual building, fully
believing that in doing so, the spirit and
intent as well as the letter of the act
of the legislature prohibiting the grant
ing of license for the sale of ,ntoxi-
eating liquors to any person whose
premises are within 20 feet of a church,
provided the abutters Protested, would
be violated by granting such a license.
THAT the division of a room by the
erection of a lattice partition fails ut
terly to conform to the spirit, intent or
letter of the law, in that the sale of in
toxicating liquors should not be allowed
in close proximity to church property"
The protest is signed by John f. Crow
ell as chairman of the board Of trus-
tees, and L. J. Pentecost as secretary of
the board.
The moment that the protest had been
made by the trustees, those who have
been associated with Mr.. Brigham in
the petition for a license, sent up the
cry of the protests illegality, it being
held that action Sunday was Illegal, and
would nullify the protest. However,
the people of the church are filled with
renewed hope at the action taken yes
terday, and scout the idea of any ques-
ton being raised as TO the legality Of
the protest on the ground that the
meeting was held Sunday. The church
feels encouraged with the presence of
Dr. Brady.

SECOND SACRED CONCERT.
Park Theatre Audience Enthuses over
Patriotic eiograph Pictures.


The second sacred concert for the
season held last evening at the Park
Theatre was in every respect a most
successful and enjoyable performance.
The large and fashionable audience
showed it's appreciation of the various
numbers on the program by frequent
and hearty applause The singing of
John Quigley, the boy tenor, was
heartily applauded as were also the
piano and violin selections contributed
by the talented Vilona sisters. The
biograph views which accompanied the
first part of the program were of an
unusually interesting order and were
thoroughly enjoyed. A view Of the
cruiser Raleigh entering New York
harbor created great enthusiasm, but
when another view following showed
Secretary Alger visiting Camp Wykoff,
an unmistakaible volley of kissing came
from the galleries. This quickly died
away in applause, however, when Pres
ident Mckinley was shown talking to a
reporter who hands him a dispatch to
read on the lawn in front of his resi-
dence at Canton, o. A picture of the
national flag coming next was greeted
with loud applause.
The biograph pictures of the pope
were what the audience wanted most to
see, and the exhibition proved fully as
interesting and impressive as its pre-
decessor of two weeks ago. The ac-
companying lecture by c. O'Connell
Calvin was followed with close atten-
ton, and when the final scene passed
from the canvas. the audience broke
into loud and prolonged applause.

Cornelius J. Sloan of % Briden street

he will have to explain matters in the

Frank Trotter of It's Front street was

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
Rev, F. D. Penney APP
proves Bicycling to
Church.

Sabbath keeping and Sabbath
breaking" was the theme Of Rev.
Frank D. Penney's sermon at Lincoln
Square Baptist church last evening.
He said in part: What l see from
my window while / am writing my
sermons forms the procession of life.
Youth, old age, rich, poor and Grip
pled-all are visible to me, and their
presence indicates the need of the
Sabbath day. The Sabbath day is a
direct gift from God for His glory and
our good.
THE day should be kept sacred
because dissertation of the day is di-
rect disobedience to Him who made it..
The wheelman who rides on Sunday
for pleasure is acting contrary to the
spirit of the scriptures. Wheels can
be ridden and the day kept sacred if
the wheelmen concentrate their ener-
gy toward doing good instead of par
ticipating in something that brings
them pleasure.
The man who rides his wheel to
church is doing no one an injustice,
and is getting the benefit of religious
teaching and pure air. The working
man is not to blame for the general
Dissertation of the Sabbath day. Gree
dy corporations who promote excur-
sions to enrich their Golfers are res
ponsible for the present conditions.
"A man so years old has had IL years
of Sundays and the value Of that period
as time in which to acquire knowledge
is equivalent to a preparatory course
of three years and seven years of col
lege study, with an extra year for
scientific observations. In view of
this fact the folly of the widespread
dissertation of the Sabbath day. is APP
parent. The Sabbath day should be
spent in acquiring knowledge ana GER
tainly there can be no grander or lof-
tier study than that of Jesus Christ.
1.-THE reading of books which have
in them nothing to educate is not a
profitable or just use of the Sabbath.
The workingman who attends morning
service, and devotes the remainder of
the Sabbath to the reading of litera-
ture that has an element of education
al resource is keeping sacred the day
as it should be observed.
1.-THE Sunday theatre and the Sunday
corporation keep men from duty to
God Only in rare cases is there need
of Sunday street railway service.
Anything that deprives men of the sa-
cred observance of the Sabbath day is
contrary to scriptural teaching"
Tuesday evening Rev. Mr. Penney
will conduct a cottage prayer meeting
at the home of Fred Swain, North
Worcester.
