Y. NJ. C. A. MEMS MEETING
psvtuGkst Pastor Spoke Yesterday on "A
Face at the Window"

Attentively listening, the audience OF
men that had gathered at the Y. NJ. C. A.
yesterday afternoon showed appreciation
OF the address delivered by Rev. A. II.
Jefferson OF Pawtucket The bass solos
by Albert A. Walker were rendered
effectively. The similar features OF next
Sundays meeting will be "The House
We Live in" by Rev. George S. Avery.
superintendent OF the New York Home for
Incorporate Men. and solos by Henry D.
Hunt.
"A Face at the window" was yester-
the King shall answer and say unto them.
Verify l say unto you. inasmuch as ye
have done 1t unto one OF the least of
these my brethren. We have done 1t unto
Me-" Mr.. Jefferson spoke in part some
what as follows:
An old legend tells OF an old warrior
who retired from active life to an old
castle. and. as he sat down at feast
alone. a little child looked in at the
window and cried. "The Christ is
and turned 10 find his feast had turned to
ashes. Again the child looked In and this
time said. The Christ ia cold" and was
ordered away. The fre went out and
the house became cold. Looking in a third
time the child spoke up. 'The Christ is
homeless" and was commanded not to
disturb the old mans peace. whereupon
the castle became a hut. The old man
followed and brought the child (who
had been exposed according TO Roman
custom, but sheltered by a hermit) to his
home. and as they stepped upon the
threshold the hut became a palace. This
old Christmas story has a deep meaning.
The face at the window was not alone
the face of child hungry. cold and
homeless. God and our race are linked
together by the golden cords OF humanity
We are worshipping God when we are
ministering TO our fellow men. In win
ming out in our service to our fellow men
We are. In the truest sense. winning out
in our service to Christ.
There's a deeper hunger than that OF
the flesh. There is. for instance, the
hunger OF the soul for religion. There's
a part OF our nature which needs God to
round il out Sometimes It seems that
tho masses are not recognizing that
hunger after God
Christ ministered TO the masses, to the
multpudes. You can't make me believe
that after 1900 years OF Christian culture.
the masses are less responsive 10 truth
When we do get down into the souls OF
men they do want righteousness.
The soul is hungry after God Himself.
There's something within us which de-
mands God. This universe might be filed
with the harmony with God It's the
great tragedy OF life TO be living in a
world OF God and know 81 not.
How are you going 10 answer the cry.
I'm hungry, I'm cold, I'm homeless?"
In all your searchings the one thing you
need Is the key that unlocks the mysteries
or character.
You've never found yourself until in
sacred devotion you can breathe the
blessed name OF Jesus Christ.

Thomas. 10 head the ticket, advance in
terest In the annual meeting OF the United
State Golf association now hinges on the
report OF the special committee to con-
slider the status OF allied clubs and the
chance OF the championship links. II Is
believed that the special committee will
recommend a recognition of the allied
clubs on the executive committee and
reduction Of the dues OF the associate
clubs 10 $50, but II is possible that
minority report may advance the opin-
ion, that matters are we'll enough as they
stand. Whatever report may be present
ed, IL will have TO be accepted by a two
thirds vote OF the delegates to- become
law. and too radical report may be
doomed to oblivion.
As TO the championships. II may be
either a complication or a simpification
OF the situation that representatives Of
the four best links that are deemed most
available for next year are on the ticket.
The four mentioned are: Mr.. Thomas,
Morris County: Mr.. Leeds, Myopia: Mr..
Byers, Oakmont, and Mr.. Sheldon, Whoa

Mr.. Leeds Is understood TO be on the
horns OF a dilemma. Massa achusetts wants

the amateur championship. and Mr.. Leeds

New York yesterday from Bennings de-
clared that the end OF the Eastern racing
season was about the only piece of real

money than at any previous fall meeting,

KEH0E HAS
A RECORD

Providence has lately discovered within
its boundaries a peculiar prize. One OF
the local mail carriers. John L. Kehoe by
name. holds the record for annual registry
of letters. MT Kehoe has been in the
government service since 1896 and. though
now carrying mail In the East Side dis
trict formerly travelled among the for
elgners on Federal hill.
The first year that the carriers reg
istered letters. 1901. Mr.. Kehoe stood
second in the registration. having reg
istered In that year 1890. while the first
man had over 1000 registration 10 his
credit. In the third assistant postmaster
generals report OF that year 1t was
noticed that 1000 or more registrations OF
the first man on the list were made in
one block located on his route. Thus
II appears that although Mr.. Kehoe's
name did not appear first on the list. yet
in reality he was the leading man. In
the year ending July 1. 1908 Mr.. Kehoe
again was first in the number OF registra-
tions. registering in that year 2S45 against
?404 that OF his nearest competitor. NJ. NJ.
Thomas OF Johnstown. Pa. The report OF
this years registrations is not out. but
Mr.. Kehoe already has 293s TO his credit.
a big gain over his figures OF last year,
and he will in all probability again be
number one on this years list.

PROGRESS

The state board OF public roads has
nearly completed it's season of practical
activity. The winter brings scant oppor-
tunity for progressive work and Is devot-
ed to the preparation OF plans and sched-
ules for the next seasons labors.
The state has made excellent headway
In completing its system OF macadsm
roads. A first class hard white road now
extends from the Providence city line as
far as Smithheld. from the city line
Cranstonward TO the Gorton-Arnold
stand. with only a piece about one-half
mile in length in need OF improvements
from the city line TO Washington village.

ognized by the commission.
Now that the work OF Improvement OF
state roads has got we'll along, and II has
been shown TO the people that II Is one OF
the most desirable means OF opening the
state TO outsiders, the commission intends
to give attention TO the maintenance OF
them. II Is the opinion of the board that

roads will cause less expense TO the state
than long delays in repairing worn places.

opinion that a continuation of the task

II was predicted that there would he
clash between the new organization and
the National Trotting association.
To all appearance the past trotting sea-
son went through without any serious
clash between the two governing bodies.
There was mix-up over the Sweet Marie
case. and not until II was announced that
the National association proposed 10 de-
mand the return OF something over $50. 900
won by the stable of Slmss Butler the
past season, on the ground that one OF his
employees. Monroe Salisbury, was under
suspension for the nom payment OF en-
trance fees, was II apparent that the
grand circuit officials felt strong enough
TO enter the lists against the National
association.
Secretary Goshers action In bringing
this case against Mr. Butler can only
mean that the National Trotting assoc - =
ton proposes TO try conclusions with the
grand circuit tracks, and that. ~ they
find themselves strong enough, those who
control the National association propose
10 make things as disagreeable as possi-
bic for the members OF the new organiza-
