CHURCH NOTES.

Rev. N. o. Westergreen of Chicago.
one of the first Swedish Methodist min
listers in the United States, preached
yesterday morning at the Second Swe-
dish NJ. E. church on Thomas street.
In the afternoon at $3.50, and in the eve
ming at 7.3O o'clock, he presided at IN
ion meetings at the Quinsigamond First
Swedish church, preaching to large
gatherings. Rev. Mr.. Westergreen will
remain in Worcester to attend the camp
meeting of the Swedish churches which
opens at Sterling next Wednesday. He
is the guest of Rev. Nels Eagle.
Fred c. Parker, a divinity student at
Brown university, and formerly a Wor-
cester boy, occupied the pulpit of Lin
coin square Baptist church yesterday.
In the morning he preached on THE
anticipating care of Christ" from the
text found in Psalms, lix:1O, and at the
evening service the theme was, 1.-The
resurrectionary power of Christianity"

at the close of each service by many
friends and former acquaintance.

manner of living, but had taken up the
thread of his old life for the time being.
But If he had not halted would he not
nave again become a fisherman?
1t is the same with the Christian of
today. The inclination at certain times
10 step back to the old life for a short
time is strong with many. They do not
mean the step to be final but in many
instances the step once taken is never
regained.' "They go a-fishing"
Too many members of churches look
to immediate realization of their
prayers. They say, II have asked the
Lord to answer my prayer twice; a day
has passed and there is no develop
ment," and they go back into the old
prayerless life. They forget the spiritual
life is a growth, and the words of the
text apply, 81 go a-fishing."
The first step backward by a man who
has been drunkard almost invariably
results in his returning to drunkardis
life many times worse than before his
reformation Peter escaped because of
the masters presence, Let us take no
step backward, thinking we will return
again in a short time, unless we step
back never to return.

REV. cHAs. WADsWoRTH.
An Old Pastor of Plymouth Church
Heard Again.

Rev. Charles Wordsworth Of Philadel-
phia, Pa, occupied the pulpit Of Plym-
outh Church last night. Rev. Mr.. Wads-
worth was former pastor Of Plymouth
Church, and a large congregation was
in attendance.
He took for his text part of John
21;S, II go afishing," saying in part:
When Jesus left the disciples were
perplexed as 70 what course they
should follow. They had become ac-
quainted with the better and higher life
ana u was perhaps only natural that
they should turn back to the old life OF,
losing their teacher and friend. It is
not supposed that Peter, in turning
back to his old occupation of fisher
man, had intended to follow his old

KINGSLEYS PROTEST.
He Denounces the Canteen and Sun
day Newspapers.

Rev. Benjamin f. Kingsley of the
Webster Square M. E. Church deliv-
cred forceful address on the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath and many other
current evils, including the much
mooted canteen question, at last even
|ing's services.
He stated that the modern church
|goer was too lax in allowing these
abuses of the Sabbath day to go unno-
ticed and said that not the least Of the
Sunday Dissertation was the issuing of
"a Sunday newspaper. The other minor
evils, bicycling and the conduct of
summer resorts, were also condemned
by the preacher. In regard to the can
teen in the army he affirmed his belief
that it had demoraliZing influence
and should be prohibited In arguing
against the canteen he cited a case in
point where a company of II young
men left an Illinois village and went
with one of the volunteer regiments
that that state furnished during the
war. One of these young men met his
death on the field of battle and the 9TH
erS returned home confirmed drunkards.
He drew a vivid picture of the young
men and their conditions, and compared
it with that Of their comrade who sac
rificed his life for his country, while
the remainder OF ms company SaCri-
feed their manhood and reduced their
conditions to that worse than slavery,
because of the system of canteens in
the armS. These the pastor said were
well authenticated facts and could be
easily proven.
The preacher said that in the life of
today vicious influences are entering
mems souls, and they know It, but seem
to be unable to combat them, and thew
are eating the heart and life out of
mans religious life. Eternal vigilance
was the only thing that will save the
latter day man and his church. The
preacher in closing says that no mem
Der of the church is doing his duty
when he does not protest against the
Dissertation of the Sabbath in having
the summer resorts run wide open and
Sunday newspapers allowed to be pub
llished.
In the matter of the canteen In the
army the pastor said that it had a
demoralizing effect, and that it meant
the life of the army to have the practice

A well equipped and well managed
little railroad about 10 miles long con-
meets Narragansett Pier and the two
or three intermediate stations with the
big New York, New Haven & Hartford
line. 1t would naturally seem that it
should be part Of the latter, but it is
very profitable, and its Independent
owners are not in favor of selling. The
officials of the large line once sent a
communication to the thrifty managers
of the little road asking them to put a
price upon it. The answer was as fol-
lows: Our road is not for sale;
wouldn't you like to put price on
yours?"

springfield is rejoicing in an indicated
increase in population during the past
year of 1000. A conservative estimate
of the total population of the city, a
Springfield authority states, is 60, 0OO
The growth of Springfield has been slow
when compared with that of this city
IL Is not so many years ago that there
was but little difference in the popula-
ton of Springfield and Worcester. but
for the past 10 or 20 years the growth
OF Worcester has been almost phenome-
nal for New England, and Springfield
has been hopelessly dist anced. 1t is
impossible to tell just why this is as it
is. The growth of Worcester. indus
trially and otherwise, has not been
forced, but has been quite natural and
healthy The Board of Trade, which
has aided materially in bringing some
industries to the city, is of comparative
ly recent birth, and Springfield has been
working along the same lines fully as
long. Worcester had the advantage
some years ago, when its rapid growth
nrst began, of several competing rail-
way lines, which kept freight rates low
and was an inducement for manufac
tuners to locate here. This Springfield
has not had to a like degree, and it
may be due to this that the Connecti
cut valley city has been of so much
slower growth. But the increase of
1000 last year has made Springfield
newspaper writers conceited. 1.-THE
rivalry which formerly existed between
Springfield and neighboring places has
ceased" says the Springfield CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe. 1t looks
as though Mittineague was hopelessly
out of the race.
