fitting celebration of St. Patrick s day. An
especially elaborate service was given in
ST. Patrick's Church on 10th street at IL
o'clock. when prominent clergymen from
other parishes were in attendance. The al

dered a particularly brilliant program.
Among the prominent clergymen present.

DIR. stafrord's Address.
Rev Dr. D. ]. Stafford delivered q pane
gyric to St. Patrick. in the course Of which
he said
IF it is sublime spectacle to see men
give up all for principle, for the sake
of the soul, then the sight of just men
striving for their liberty. is thing SO
extraordinary that in the contemplation
of 1t our hearts must choke the voice in
the throat. l claim that greatness for
Ireland. Throughout all her life. Ireland
has battled for her principles. The chal-
lenge was given by tyrant mistress
Give up your God. give up your mass,
give up your religion. give up your prin-
ciple of life.' The answer was, We will
give up all that is external, We stand by
our principle
What made possible this noble answer?
1t was the work of the patron saint. ST.
Patrick. He had worked upon a good
foundation, 1t is true. The people to whom
he came were pagans but their paganism

in bowling? Why can't some other kind OF
wood be used? l have a bowling ball made
of mahogany here, and l handed it to him.
1t felt as light as paper after he had been
handling one of the regular balls. I told
him that II he would bowl q score Of 100
with the mahogany ball I would make
him a present of the finest ball that could
be bought. You can't bowl with light
ball. That's why 1 think one can make
better scores with the African wood ball.
1t Is heavier. George Seidensticker has g.
yellow ball that weighs seventeen pounds,
and 200 scores are getting common as dirt
with him. I understand that a new COM
position ball is about to be put on the
market. 1t is claimed for the new ball
that it answers the purpose as well IL not
better than the wooden ball. though 1 have
never seen it. 1t has weight it is claimed,
tage Of not warping or chipping. But it
will cost much more than the lignum vitae

LIGNUM VITAE SCARCE.
1t Is Being Used Up by the Great De-
mand for Bowling Balls.

From the Indianapolis Press.
within a short time you are going to
see bowling balls take big jump in price,"
said one Of Indianapolis alley owners re-
Gently. 1.-THE only wood suitable for bowl
ing balls Is lignum vitae" he continued
"and the game has increased in popularity
SO rapidly in the last few years that the
supply of the wood that is easily available
has Just about been exhausted. Either
new lignum vitae forests must be discover
ed or some better method Of getting the
wood to market must be found.
1.-The best lignum vitae in the world is in
Venezuela, but one must go miles into the
interior before the wood is found. The
wood is SO heavy that the tree trunks
must be sawed in short pieces, about three
feet in length. These pieces are then
way to the coast. OF course in those places
nearer the coast, or where the wood is
more accessible. larger logs can be handled.
Another danger Is in Shipping the wood
the other day that vessels do not like to
take lignum vitae as even a part of their
cargo. When ship loaded with the wood
gets to rocking or pitching in a heavy sea
record Of lignuma vitae cargoes that have
been lost in this, manner is worse than
the record of any other sort of freight.
1.-THE lignum vitae that is the most easily
lignum vitae is yellower than any other
kind. I use an African wood ball The
wood checks badly, and for that reason
the wood turner's dislike to handle it. as
there is danger Of the turning lathe getting
caught in one of the checks and breaking
the ball to pieces. The African ball sells
for $3.50, so cents less than that of the
other grades Of the wood. 1 believe the
African wood is harder, II anything, than
any other, and ball made of the African
wood will not become lopsided so soon as
one mad of other wood
THE Dutch East Indies yield a good
quality of lignum vitae, but such heavy de-
mands have been made on the forests there
that the wood is getting scarce The big
trees are all far inland. San Domingo vitae
is more gluish than the East Indian kind
and more brittle.
ut is impossible to keep bowling ball
from getting lopsided. The cause Of this
lies in the finger holes. When balls had no
finger holes the bowler never threw a ball
twice in succession the same way Now q
bowler holds the ball the same way every
time, and the same part of the ball strikes
the alley first every time. AS the ball
slides for new feet before taking rotary
motion the ball is gradually fattened on
one side.
"A fellow came here the other day and
said; Why must such heavy balls be used

was of q pure kind. They were Druids
and were not without their ideals. The
religion which St Patrick offered to them
they accepted readily, and without a dis
senter. The conquest of this pagan people
by the gospel of love was made with
out shedding a drop Of blood. 1t was
wonderful change in that it was so peace
fully done.
'St. Patrick, too, had a principle. What
did he preach? He preached the great doc
trine Of the church foundation upon
stone. He preached the immortal words
Of Our Lord, have founded my church
upon rock-upon Peter-and kings and
philosophers shall wage war upon it in
vain and the gates of hell shall not pre-
vail against it
THE teachings of ST. Patrick enabled the
Irish, when they were driven into a little
corner of the island by that most atrocious
of all barbarities. the penal code, to retain
undfminished the purity Of their religion,
and Of their morals. The faith which st.
Patrick gave to the Irish they have al
ways cherished. They are still a great
race. for no people have done SO much for
the uplifting of the ideal. They have been
faithful to their principle. Principle does
not die, and right is never extinguished."

non-church members. Again, Table II
shows that SO per cent OF the church
members of the freshmen class are in
| harmony with the teachings of the
church, while the same is true of only
n per cent of the senior class. Mem
bership is often retained simply be-
cause the senior has come to realize,
through the study of social science. the
Importance of religion to the social
welfare, and hesitates to throw his in
fIuence on the wrong side. One senior
acknowledged that he considered him
self a church member but if he were
not member he would not join the
church now This probably indicates
the position or several individuals In
the senior class. who are nominally
church members, had they expressed
themselves definitely upon this point
But however large this number we
have no reason to believe that it is
greater than would be found among
the young people entering life work
without a university education. The
transition from dependence to indie
pendence, from responsibility to re-
sponsibility, from reverence for au-
thority to independent thought, is al
ways marked by the falling away Of
some from the church.
As shown in Table II. 20 per cent OF
the church members and % per cent
of the non-members are conscious OF
a change in their religious ideas. Ia
Bile " shows the nature of this change.
The young man entering the university
finds in religion a doctrinal system
whose end is personal Regeneration.
After four years of independent think
ing religion comes~ to mean activity or
some kind. 1t is not enough to save
ones own soul-other souls must be
aided Being is lost sight of in doing.
Against 43 per cent of the freshmen
stand so per cent of the seniors, who
recognize religion as belonging to the
activities of life. If the university
course has diminished their reverence
for dogma, it has prepared them for
helpfulness in society, and, as many
testify, has thus made them more
truly religious"
We conclude then that larger pro
portion of seniors than of freshmen
are church members, while smaller
proportion Of the church members are
in harmony with the church, but this
proportion is not greater than would
be found among young people entering
life without a university education;
that seniors attend church services
less than freshmen, but this is due 20
the change in habits of life and mo-
tiVes forced upon them by the univer-
Sity atmosphere; that duty as a motive
for church attendance has been almost
displaced by worship and intellectual
pleasure. and social pleasure has been
displaced by distinctive social func-
tons; that the religious life Of church
members has been deepened, and sym
pathy among non-church members has
increased: that the change has been
away from Journalism and doctrine
and toward religious activity, and that

perience a religious change during

their university course for which the
university is responsible.
/ 1t is certain that the study of sci
ence greatly intensifies the doubts of
the adolescent. The scientific method
applied to religious literature and to
religious beliefs is sure to destroy
faith in some things which we formerly
believed essential to religious life Per
haps this influence today is shown
most markedly in a movement among
! the Roman Catholic priesthood to criti-
cally examine the historical evidence
for and against certain relics, miracles
and pious beliefs, and to educate the
people to reject those which cannot
stand the test. Certainly q most prom
Using sign is the incorporation into the
work of all great universities of cours-
es in Bible study, and especially in the
life of Christ.
But God has revealed Himself in the
works OF His hand no less than
through inspiration, and though many
beliefs. and many pious Observances
may be sloughed off as a result of APP
plying the critical faculty to religious
questions. that which will remain is
so strong and so vital as to become
the center of q new religious life
deeper. broader, truer and more active
than the old.

Ing the increase in the number OF or

native musicians yearly tend to make
the supply much greater than the de-

Sometimes the players are under con-

they generally come back to the United
