challenging new broom. Some Of these pilots wers
afterward reformed at religious meetings held on
this same steamer. for she is the Neg1ddo mission

Megiddo, be It known, IS a Hebrew word. and the
significance is that ''God IS In this place with 8
band Of soldiers" Upon the pages OF the open
Bible Is engraved the middle chapter Of the Bible.
Psalm cxvii Upon the archway near the bow OF
the steamer is the inscription. In God We Trust
and between the smokestacks another motto.
United We Stand

A PUGNAcIoUs AND SELFISH FISH.

Some fish are selfish like some human beings.
At the Aquarium in a small tank the second
tier are four beau gregorys- just why they srs

to know They are small fish. the longest being
hardly more than two inches In length They

are two black dots about the size OF shot The dots
are at exactly the point on each side Two
OF the dots at the top Of the back. and the two
others on top OF the taik The fish were brought
from Bermuda last year. where they were caught
by party of biologists from this city. They live
in the surf and captured by means OF a dip
net. As one was seen in the topping wave. drive
was made for him with the net. and he was dipped
out OF the recedng surf.
All OF the beau gregorys at the Aquarium
more or less pugnacious but OF them has
shown himself TO be extremely selfish AS often
proves TO be the case IN real life. the selfish
one is the largest and most powerful one In the
bottom of the tank Is small rock covered with
serturiaria. Beneath the rock IS a hollow large

BILE element Of religious opinion, Mr. William Bruce
King president of the society, addressed letters 10
a number of clergymen in Boston. where the Han
del and Haydn Society has always given Its con-
certs on Sundays. The answers received by him
are so interesting that all lovers of choralcmusic
will glad to read the excerpts from them printed
herewith:
The Rev. Scott f. Hershey, Presbyterian:
think the clergynen Of this city stand !, non m

nights unless it be made mere matter OF nosad col5l
to all commercial uses of the Sabbath
The Rev. DR.. George A. Gordon. Old South Con-
gregational Church:
speak on Sunday evenings affect my compensation
in any way but that might not be true OF other
Congregations. sure that the music WHICH which the the
Handel and Hayden Society would render coua not
be other than an inspiration to all VINO near It.
Mr.. King asked the specific questions: 'In your
opinion and that generally of your fellow clergy
men. has the rendition Of sacred choral music by
the Handel and Haydn Society Sunday even
ings detracted from the sacredness of the Day?
Do you and your fellow clergymen generally look
upon the performance OF sacred music on Sunday
evenings by the Handel and Haydn Society az op-
posed to the best interests of the churches Of
Boston or as an adjunct to their work? The Rev.
William Byrne, d. D., rector OF St Cecilia's Cath
olic Church. answered categoricaly:
First-No. Oratorio as given here on Sundays is
quite solemn and improves the religious tone or
the people.
Second-No; rather a help.
The Rev. DIR. Edward Everett Hale Unitarian:
1 think you may say without the least hesita-
ton that the performance Of sacred music by the
Handel and Haydn Society has been of great
spiritual and religious advantage to the city of
Boston. do not 'hink that ten persons in Boston
could be found who would express a different opin-
ion if they knew anything about the facts. For
my part / should be greatly indebted to the
Handel and Haydn Society If they would make
appointment for to perform of these
great oratorios at my church at any hour of Sun
day they chose or any other day.
The Rev. Paul Revere rockingham. Unitarian:
Replying to your questions in a general way and
speaking for myself alone, / cannot answer
for my fellow clergymen 1 should say first that
sacred choral music Sunday evenings detracts
In n way from the religious character the da,.
and. second. that such music that time is not
opposed TO the best interests of the church. Many
