All men are cordially invited To attend
our mems meetings. The boys SER
vices have been discontinued for the
summer.
The Y. Nj. G. A. Bicycle club was re-
organized on Tuesday evening OF this
week with Mr.. G.. w. Phillips as cap
tain. The meeting was an enthusiastic
one; so that we may expect 10 see
good live club this season. Committees
were appointed To select club suits and
pins and report at the next meeting.
With the large membership claiming
the privileges of the - ASSOCIATION we
surely should be able to support large
bicycle club.
The boys physical class is being
judged In general efficiency each Sat-
urday morning. The Misses Earle and
Short and Messrs. Troy, Cobb and Louis
Chapman, NJ. d., are acting as judges.
The competition is a close one. thus
making II very difficult matter TO
award the medals. The presentation OF
medals will take place at the closing ex-
ercises early in June.

Before another occasion arises to
make ii necessary for the authorities Of
Brown University to call for help from
the city fire department there ought
to be distinct understanding that the
city which furnishes the firemen also
has the right abundant to furnish po-
lice protection for the hremen in event
ii Is needed. Any other view of the re-
lations between the municipality and
the University in "A case like this is
evidently intoerable There is no need
or indulging in any sentimental gush
about the rowdyism of college students
after the thoughtless exhibition is over
The thing to do is to suppress it at
the time or better to prevent it in the
future.

The condition as 1t exists today and
has existed since the police force was

less masses the lesson of personal ad-
Grafton, would also result in the per-
sonai worship by the masses OF the
princes of the earth, who assumed the
cloak of Christianity To perpetuats
their selfish rule.
The success OF this plan is too well
known 10 require any comment here.
Suffice IL to say that the fruits of this
form of government have resulted IN
the denial TO the people their God-glN-
en- right and power To partake OF mat
light and liberty which is tne heritage
OF every man and woman. Hence the
Politics OF Religion has established
an unnameable mass OF creeds and
isms i'm both our civil laws aud relig-
ious practices. The truth OF this Is
manifested in the conflicting theories
that govern our economic activities
and religious dogmas.
All religious creeds and politics I'm
Christendom have been more or less
guided and controlled by the same
spirit OF cif-aggranuIsenient and ag-
gression that caused the Emperor Con-
stantine to use the cloak of Christ 20
better serve the human law Of evil.
This same spirit is abroad i'm the land
today. only In more subtle form. That
element OF priestcraft and materia
medica that still adheres to the wor-
ship OF it's ancient gods and worn out
customs. are always arrayed i'm solid
phalanx against the advance OF any
Truth that conflicts with their opinions.
Recognizing the fact that the practice
OF Christian Science. as taught by Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy, is demonstrating
that the stntesmanship, philosophy.
and therapeutics Of Jesus are not only
true. but practicable and applicable to
the needs of the world today: they.

arose from the selfish benenciaries of
the ''then" existing order. They excited
the ignoran.e~of the multitude 20 riot
by playing Upon the religious prejudices
of the people who had for generations
been taught the idolatrous worship OF
the NEUROLOGICAL goddess Diana.
In this day the religious and political

lesson. She rendered among her selec-
tions Grandma at the Ball" The
Last Hymn" and a banjo solo. Mr..
Hammond's (blind) baritone solos were
especially pleasing; Messrs. Graham

their duets being bright and well rem
dered. Miss Esther Rice I'm her so
prano solos, displayed taste and feeling
that, combined with a naturally sweet
voice OF excellent range, helped very
materially in making up a successful
program. Miss Mckanna's piano solos
were well rendered, and Miss Louise
Bixby. young violinist rendered two
selections with ability.

The Decentralization OF the police force
OF the city of Providence under an un-
snterrupted reform regime OF some four
years is not OF itself an argument for
placing the control OF the police in the
State, but only offers at this time a
very striking example of the danger
possible from having the force that is
employed in maintaining the laws and
watching for offenders divorced from
the authority that prescribes the laws
and Furnishes for their violation. The
claim that the city of Providence is
perfectly well able TO take care of it
self is an appeal based on a wholly mis-
taken assumption. In proposing TO
place the control of the police force In
rhe STATE the assembly y-aees- -not-de=
sign either TO interfere with any rights
and privileges Of the city of Providence
or. on the other hand. TO relieve the
city OF any responsibilities that II
should rightly bear. The whole and
single object of the police commission
bill aims TO place the control of the
police department where it belongs and
where it would originally have been
placed except that the relative func-
fions of the municipality and the state
were not SO we'll defined as they are to-
day.

We get power by forsaking evil.

mise, complete victory and national

ditiOn that they should ria the land OF

undertake I'm His name, the complete
conquest OF self.
The gift OF power means the triumph
