The Revere Mass. Lay College is at
work combating the tendency to neglect
religious observsnces which Governor
Rollins, of New Hampshire, has recently
noticed. Thirty or forty graduates of the
college are now In the hardest missionary
fields in New England. In his baccalaur-
cate address on Sunday, Rev. Mr. j. p.
Bixby, the President, said: "The Revere
Lay College was founded especially for
New England. Moral dark ness was then
deepening into night in many places in
rural New England. DIR. Hiscock Of New

Hyde's Impending PaganisIn in New
England showed by statistics from 10
counties in Maine that almost, IL not
quite, one-half of the Protestant families
have no Sabbath home. Some one who
has gathered statistics has told us that in
southeastern Massachusetts, in 81 towns
almost geo families have not the word Of
God, and nearly 800 families are without
any religious books. In this section &C
out of every 100 families of Puritan ex-

for the War Commission, though 1t inves-
tigated other matters did not overlook
this. The findings of the army court
modify to some extentsthose Of the war
commission. The latter found nothing
wrong in any of the beef. The former,
however, condemns the canned roast beef
rs not it for q continuing ration, that Is
for ration from day to day, though IL
thinks IL may be used occasionally with
out detriment. The army court finds no
sufficient evidence that any OF the beef
furnished the troops was ''processed, ="
that is treated with chemicals, and
charges the pntrefaction of the refrigerat-
ed beef to delay in handling 1t In a hot
climate. The packers are acquitted OF all
blame both as regards the roast beef and
the refrigerated beef When 1t comes to
the matter of censure the court may be
said to have distributed it evenly be
tween tho Miles and the anti-Miles fac
lions. Eagan is condemned for buying an
untried ration in so large quantities and
lilies is criticized for not reporting his
alleged discoveries as to the canned teef
Immediately. His chief of staff is also
blamed for the same reason. No further
proceedings are suggested against anyone,
indeed, the Board goes further and ex-
presses the opinion that to pursue the
matter further by court martialling any
of the oensured officers would not be
justified. The boards report in Its final
form was evidently framed with view
of closing up the whole matter. Perhaps
1t is for that reason blame is SO evenly
distributed between the two factions,

them to make it feel very sore. Proba-

President MCKINLEY through the com
mission has proposed to the Filipinos a
form of government in which the natives
will have considerable voice. A governor
general is to be appointed by the United
States, and Judges by the same authority,
Americans and Filipinos, and legisla-
ture chosen by an electorate based ON a
property qualification. Of course any
proposition of this kind must be ratified
by Congress before it can become estab-
Iished, but II the Filipinos would accept

not to take any notice of them, and Mr..
