FOURTH LENTEN SERMON.
The Life and Works Of ST. BonlfaCe' the
Subject Of Rev. Lester Bradner.

The fourth sermon In the series on the
Christian saints being delivered at 81
Johns Protestant Episcopal church by
Rev. Lester Bradner, the rector was
given last evening. the subject being the
life and work OF st. Boniface.
AS the work of Christianizing the An
glo-Saxons went on, Mr. Bradner said
the Roman missionaries discovered that
there were already Christian communi-
ties in England, though with different
traditions and customs from those which
they had brought from Rome But the in
fluence Of the newer church overpowered
that OF the older, and with the union of
the two n new era began.
Winfrid OF Ripon was born I'm Devon
shire of noble parentage. Monastic inhu-
ence inclined him TO a religious career.
Already there was stirring In his heart
the spirit which seems to have been char
acteristic OF most OF the choice minds OF
the early English church. the desire TO
preach the gospel TO the heather.
He reached Rome in us and obtained a
commission from Gregory III TO work as
missionary In Central Europe. He visited
Bavaria and Thuringia. and finally made
his way TO Utrecht where he declined the
bishopric. In 723 he returned to Rome. TO
be consecrated bishop under the name of
Boniface. He took a special oath Of al
legiance 10 Rome at this time.
He checked and brought to trial those
who opposed the teachings of Rome; but
he also demanded from Rome high
standard OF churchmanship and life, and
even censured one of the Popes for the
purchase OF ecclesiastical dignitles. Going
down the Rhine he landed at Zuyder
Zee. and traversed the country, making
converts everywhere. There he arranged
to meet at Dokkum whore he would ad-
minister the rite OF confirmation. Early
on the morning OF the appointed day.

GRAND CIRCUIT NEWS.

Under the somewhat peculiar conditions
which prevail in light harness circles this
season. the directors of the New England
Breeders association have reason TO con-
gratulate themselves upon the result or
their early closing stakes, and while they
will doubtless cost them more than they
have in some previous years. they should
result in the best contests ever seen at
Readville.
In almost all the classes for which
early closing stakes are given there are
this season number of horses which
appear TO be dangerous, and this VIII
have a tendency TO make entry lists for
the grand circuit meetings lighter than
usual Another cause which Will tend
toward the same result is that with the
increased size OF the purses offered. only
wealthy horsemen can afford 10 eXpend
the large sum necessary TO name a stable
OF horses in stakes worth 00O0 or $4,000.

didate that looks to be as good as any
thing eligible TO the race they Will not
take the chance or their horses improv-
ing. or the other mans going wrong. as
they used 10 when the amount OF money
involved was smaller
While both the Brighton Beach and
Readville stakes are lighter than last
year the falling off is not OF an alarm
ing nature, and with an average OF APP
proximately 10 entries to a class only
four OF which can find money. the tracks
should not find fault.
II is for the interest OF breeders. track
managers and. in fact every one inter-
ested that big money should be hung up
for tho trotters and PAGERS. and. although
the days when these big events could be
