SPOKE OF
BROCKTON
HORROR

Rev c. NJ Melden. d. d, spoke on the
that completely filled the Mathewson
Street Baptist church last evening.
Rev. Dr. Melden said that all the money
placed on the collection plates above the
amount OF the average collection would
be sent 10 aid the Brockton sufferers.
In his sermon he said in part
The author OF this psalm is unknown.
but those who read Il are inspired with
confidence I'm their God. While this event.
so horrible, has occurred in our sister
city, and cast a gloom over all our hearts.
IL Is Illuminated by the grandeur and in
herent nobility Of the human character.
Cynics may reach the conclusion in the
daily struggle for existence that the con-
trolling impulse OF human nature Is ex-
pressed in the adage, Everyone for him
self and the evil one take the hind
most But the truer qualities OF human
ity are more correctly exemplified by the
generosity by which Brocktons appeal
for aid is being met. 1t should not be
forgotten. however. that cases OF power
ty and need arc all around us all the
time.
Again the innate heroism and true
nobility OF men were revealed by the
self-sacri1cing and brave deeds done
amid the city's scenes OF horror. The
striking examples OF personal courage
and daring were many. but the cases
of quiet heroism in the daily lives OF
the worlds workers around us must not
be forgotten. Nor ought we to overlook
moral courage that dares To do right be-
cause II is right. thank God that he
has put such spirit into my fellow
men"

Women In Church.

The following remarkable notice has
been issued by the Rev. G. NJ. Parsons,
vicar of Cranstoek church, Newquay,
Cornwall:
"Cranstock church is closed until fur
ther notice except at hours OF divine
service. The church has hitherto been
freely open. 1t is deplorable that 1t
cannot so remain, as 1t ought to. This
is wholly due to the irreverence OF
numbers of women who, walking un-
covered, presume to enter Gods house
with no sign Of reverence or modesty
upon their heads. A small veil or ker-
chief would betoken this and be suffi-
cient, but remonstrance during several
seasons has proved in vain.
"Such a refusal by men to offer the
customary respect of uncovering would
Justify their exclusion from Gods
house. The corresponding refusal by
women to cover their heads obliges II.
The church Is closed with deepest re-
gret and shame for the cause. 1t Will
mean much loss to the church or the
devotion and offerings of the reverent-
ly disposed. 1t is hoped, however, that
the solemn protest thus made In Gods
name will bring thoughtless persons to
q better sense of what Is due to his
presence and glory, so that his house
may speedily be set open as freely as
before. e."-LOndon Telegraph.

A Jndlclous Inquiry.

A well-known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult, and if for a child they
almost invariably recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it, and for coughs, colds and
Group it is unsurpassed. For sale by
