Editor Of The Spy:

To the Editor of The Spy
I see by one report Of DIR. King s
sermon on Sunday last that he disputes
the doctrine of apostolic succession as
claimed by the Episcopal church, and
well he might, for, although I was
brought up in the Episcopal church
and sprinkled in that church when I
was a baby, and had a godfather and
a Observation-Disclosures for the life of
me, l never knew who they were-yet
it is over 30 years since 1 renowned
their doctrine of sprinkling infants for
baptism and their claim to apostolic
succession; and although these things
are taught and practiced by both the
Protestant and Catholic churches, vet
in all these years I have never found
a man among their ranks who could
prove either of them from the scriptures
of truth. Dr. King made a telling hit
against the Episcopal churches claim
to apostolic succession when he re-
ferred TO that church appealing to the
Pope of Rome to decide that question
The Pope's answer was right; but it
would have been better if he had
stated that there was no church on
earth at the present time who had any
right TO lay claim to apostolic success
sion. They all ought to know that to
be a successor Of an apostle they must
be able to do the work of an apostle
and it is not the word. but the power
that is the proof of this question
Apostolic succession" is a fossilized
delusiOn Of beth the Protestant and
Catholic churches. The apostles can
have no successors. for their qualifica-
ton is untransmissible. They were to
speak as witnesses Of what they had
seen and heard, which nobody could

WHEN A MAN is ANGRY

Every time a man gets mad, the i'll
temper passes from one to another of
those around him until it finally reach
es a boy, who slaps his sister, or kicks
the dog.-Atchison Globe.
1t is just the same with the political
party When there is trouble in the
Republican ranks an innocent person is
likely to be the victim of the party
wrath 1t was no personal grudge
against Senator-elect Munroe that led
the Republicans out in the county to
knife" the ticket in order to show that
they wanted a senator elected from
outside the city of Worcester Several
other prominent Republicans have had
to act the part of "a sister, and get
slapped by the political small boy sim
ply because the party was stirred up.
1t is just as well to call attention &C.
casionally to the fact that the root of
all this evil has been yellor journal
ism. While good men fear to become
candidates for party on account of the
eccentric opposition that may descend
upon them without cause and without
reason, the party suffers constantly
from mistakes and internal dissensions
caused by the abuse of Republicans in
Republican newspapers.

do for them, except secondhand, and
this any one could do without involving
'successorship' in the exercise of this
function of witness-ship. They We're to
be used and guided by the Holy Spirit,
which would even dictate their speeches
to them when arranged before the au-
thorities.
In this inspired presentation of truth
no one could succeed them who was not
inspired and as none of the clergy
Protestant or Catholic-are inspired, it
is, therefore, presumption bordering
upon blasphemy, which no one instruc-

guilty of. C. C. MANN.

MISS PICARD SHARED THE
H0NORS WITH THE STAR

The Worcester Theatre was filled to
the doors last night at the first per
Torrance in Worcester of Janice Mer-
edith" with Mary Mannering in the
title role, and the large audience wit
messed an almost perfect production of
a play that in itself lacks being ideal.
1t was one of the most enthusiastic
audiences the theatre has held for some
time and curtain calls were given at
the close of each act so vociferously
that the actors were compelled to bow
their thanks time and again.
Miss Mannering could not have
pleased more. She put every possible
bit Of effort into the part and as an
artist there are few who can surpass
her The delicacy of the turns Of ex-
preston her. voice and manner, were
any other who carried the play through
to a successful finish.
The play itself is slightly melodra-
matte, the close of the third act very
much so. The climaxes are all of
sensational nature-too much dropping
in at the critical moment of John
Brereton. Too much saved at last"
sort of business Yet in spite of these
weaknesses the play is thoroughly en-
joyable and the audience last night was
not sparing of applause. One cannot
expect much from the play from the
novel, Janice Meredith" however, for
in spite of its sale, it is considered as
weak as any popular story of the past
three years.
A good word should be said especially
for Miss Amy Ricard, who plays the
part of Tabitha Drinker. With Miss
Mannering she shared the honors of the
evening and her work was completely
satisfactory at all times. Walter Hale
as John Brereton, w. D. Chafin as
Squire Meredith Charles Cherry as
Lieut.. Mowbry and Kate Lester as Mrs.
Meredith are also deserving of special
mention. Members of the Pilgrim Ca
diets furnished the British and Amer
lean troops.
Janice Meredith" will be presented
again this afternoon and evening.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The most powerful citizen in Ameri-
ca? 1t is hardly necessary to mention
! his name. By common agreement he
! who is entitled to the ribbon of this
distinction is the redoubtable j. Pier
pont Morgan, a living REPUTATION of the
/ theory man cannot part his name in
the middle and amount to anything.
Mr. Morgan bestrides financial, com
mercial and industrial America like q
Colossus. In the palm of his hand is
the welfare of millions. There is a
panic in his frown and prosperity in
his smile. What is the shadow of pow
er possessed by a titular president
compared with the mighty substance
of the real thing ?-Des Moines Lead
er.
The election of Franklin Murphy as
Governor of New Jersey is one of the
triumphs of yesterday in which every
good citizen may well rejoice. From
1854 to 1894 New Jersey was the one
rock-rOoted Democratic state of the
North. Connecticut was doubtful, but
in those days there never was any
room for doubt about New Jersey. Not
Mississippi or South Carolina were
more loyal to the Democratic ticket
than New Jersey Brooklyn Times.
We have made a visible gain for the
good name of the city and in the re-
spect of the world. 1t is no obscure
and ill-mannered minion of Tammany
who will sit in the chair of the Mayor
during the next two years. We have
elected to that office one of the best
known citizens of New York, the Pres
tdent of Columbia University, whose
name is familiar to the people of the
United States and is not unknown

A practical joker in Halifax had a
lot of fun Halloween. A surprise par
ty had been arranged, each person
being expected to bring something in
the way of cakes, sandwiches, fruit,
or anything of that kind. The joker
got possession Of the invitations, and
wrote on the corner Of each one a re-
quest that the recipient should bring
dozen lemons. Being a surprise
party, the whole thing was kept quiet,
and the result was that each guest ap-
peared on the scene bearing a paper
bag full of lemons and nothing else.
