Spiritual Living

The Rev. A. 5. Gregg. Methodist, worces-
ter. Mass,
Spiritual living involves a care
full aud painstaking obedience to
all that is right in dealings with
men. but goes further and recog-
nizes The existence of the living
Christ, and the reality of another
and superior life, into which all
believers shall pass at death. AS
this spiritual life is obtained
through Christ. it is logical that
all that the Christian represents in
the way OF station, talents or prop
erty should come under the control
Of the law Of Christ.

The Trial Of Jesus Viewed Legally.

From the tnurch tCoHOinlst'
Interesting and unusual as an
evening service was the one held
the Bethany Presbyterian church
of New York, when Walter NJ.
Chandler, ESQ.,, of the New York
bar, delivered his lecture on The
Trial OF Jesus from Lawyer $
Standpoint" This lecture, while
reverent and deyout in its charac.
ter, is a strong presentation of the
totally illegal nature of that trial.
Mr.. Chandler tells in brief anu
pointed fashion just what was the
Jewish law about such trials and
shows that almost every step taken
at that time was violation of that
law. From the Roman standpoint
the arraignment before Herod and
Plate could not be designated as
trials at all.

government should supplement its
present policy Of levee construction
by comprehensive reservoir system
throughout the arid region, not only
for the purpose Of conserving the
water for irrigation, but also for the
preservation of life and property in
the lower reaches. The waters thus
conserved would be of inestimable
value and blessing to the people
in the arid and semi-arid district. We
believe that irrigation and flood pre-
vention are two ideas to be developed
together. The reservoirs to be built
should include not only large reser-
yoirs, but also all smaller reservoirs,
for which feasible locations exist, and
throughout the great plain region the
construction of such small reservoirs
by damming the coulees and draws
should be encouraged by both the
state and national governments.

NOTES OF The CONGRESS.

| Governor Prince of Mexico acted
as president during part of Thurs
days session.
Secretary Wilson made a visit to
the Model irrigation farm and was
much surprised by the many clever
devices he saw on exhibition there.
Many of them, he said, were quite
unknown to him before, but he ap-
preciated their value Immediately and
urged that they be patented.
A neat compliment was paid to
Governor Sparks of Nevada by the
Texas delegation on Wednesday
morning. when the Mexican band,
with the entire Texas delegation,
went to the Pacific hotel and sere-
naded Mrs. Sparks, who was arriving
on the morning train. The governor
made happy and appreciative re-
Spouse, thanking the serenaders for
their courtesy to his wife and himself.
The governor was formerly a resident
Of Texas.

graph, published in Redlands, CAL,

Extracts From Secretary Wilson's
Speech.

During his speech on Thursday
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said:
The principal object of this con-
gress in the past has been the secur-
Ing of government ala in the build
ing of irrigation works so that the
greatest possible area of the arid
lands OF the west might be brought
under cultivation. That object has
been attained, but the most optimistic
friend OF irrigation admits that when
all the available sources of water
shall have been put to use. either bv
public or private works, only a small
traction of the arid lands can be re-
claimed. In such a situation there
are two things which may be done to
increase the area which can be re-
claimed: One is to increase the water
supply; the other is to make q
better use of what we have. The
work of the agricultural department
as authorized by congress, is alone
the latter line. Some of the posi-.
bilities along this line which have
been suggested by our work I'D to
The present time will be here pre-
sented, together with a general state

Curious Facts Concerning the Origin
the Name.

the Name.
Why is a mayor called a mayori
There is a riddle for you and il sounda
lust as sensible as that most foolish Of
AL riddles: why is q mouse when u
spins?"
Here is one explanation of why a
mayor Is called a mayor. Long, long
years ago in England every year about
midnight on the nrst Of May boys and
girls OF each village used 10 gc IN one
Ong procession to the aearhy woods
On their way they blew horns aud sang
many merry Maying songs. In the
woods some Of them cut a Ions May
pole, tall, slender, supple tree. vNhers
gathered 1owera as many as they .orld
carry. Then laden with flowers and
bearing the May pole IN state hey
Game back to the village abous day
break. The May pole. festooned WITH
nowers on the tip, was planted the
village green. The doors and Tindoay
Df the village cottages were de- led
with flowers and every one prepared
for gala day. About the green bay
booths were built, where fcud WAS
served Every one was dressed In Il
gayest clothes and wore flowers. Thers
we're bonfires and professions aud
aances and stage plays. a May queen
and often a king was chosen 70 b
master and mistress OF the ceremop Is
and the fun lasted till midnight and
often was continued the next day and
the next until six days were consumed
Ii merry-making.
But you say what has MI this 70 ID
with the mayor Just this: The May
pole was left standing on the green an
the year and was the standard o.
Justice. Here the people brought iholI
governors and barons and even kings
who had acted unjuatly and dsposod
them and disgraced them AZ the AlaJ
pole Here the worthy governor. or
Just ruler, was given lawful power and
was called the mayor. You see 1t is bus
} short cut from May 10 mayor
Ono Of the funny customs on May
Gay was that OF the Morris dances
There we're eight OF these dancers. who
wore white suits. with strings Of b'ils
fastened round their knees 70 mole
music as they danced. With the Aorris
dancers were also a fiddler. clown, q
sauire and a sword bearer The sverd
bearer carried a sword decorated with
ribbons and also a large cake IN a
round tin. He cut slices from me cakf
70 give to the hystanders- This cake
was supposed to bring good luck to
hose who had It and many dreamed
on is. just as girls dream on weddina
rzko nowadays.
On this same May day the milk
maids used 10 dance With their milh
pals on their heads. and the chimney
lwoeps also had their dances and many
of the young men we're dressed IN
bunting green the represent Robin
Hoods merry men. WITH the chimney
sweeps was usually a iaok-in-thf-
green. A light hollow frame Of woca
or wicker was made IN the form OF a

The frame was covered with gresn
