BISHOP AT ST. ANDREWS

Fruhless as the test Of discipleship
was the theme of a sermon by Bishop
Leighton Coleman at the nooday Len
ten meeting IN ST. Andrews Church
yesterday. His text was st. John 10:
S-"Therein Is my Father gloriaed If ye
bear much fruit 50 shall ye be my
disciples" The bishop declared that
with many people sentiment in religion
did not go far enough TO generate ac-
tion. The highest type Of sentiment
is love, and, Jesus displayed it, but
he was not satisfied I'm Just having the
sentiment AS He said, His mission
was to work the works of God.
Through the ages men have been
proud to be known as disciples Of their
masters. How shall we justify our
right TO the name OF disciples of
Christ? Jesus gives us the answer;
He says it must be by bearing much
fruit. In this Passion Week, Christ,
althoueh, blameless. suffered indigni-
ties. yet it was through his sufferings
the He was made perfect. And so II
is the province Of this Holy Week to
emphasize the ministration Of suffering
to increase the fruitfulncss of our lives
our fruitfulness may come by degrees,
but it must come If we are to be dis
ciples OF Christ.

DIVORCE TO SAVE ART
Laureatess Freed from Lowbrow Who
Kidded Her About Verses.

TOLEDO, Ohio March 27.-Because
her husband, Fred Lawrence, has not
soul attuned 10 the arts, and because
he made fun of his wife for writing
poetry, Ida Eckert Lawrence got a
divorce.
Ida Eckert Lawrence is commonly
known as the poetess-laureate of Ohio
and has considerable reputation from
the fact that she wrote the ode de-
livered at the launching of the battle
ship Ohio.
She was also appointed to write the
poem TO be delivered on Ohio day at
the St. Louis Exposition. The poem
was written, but through a mix-up
with the management of the exposi-
ton Mrs. Lawrence did not deliver
her poem.
In her petition Mrs. Lawrence tes-
titled that her husband conducted a
news clipping bureau for the purpose
Of obtaining articles derogatory TO the
art Of writing poetry. When he got
these clippings he would lay them on
her desk and then proceed TO declaim
against the writing of verses. He an
gued that Il was rot and foolishness,
and teased her about writing. This he
kept up until life became unbearable,
and they separated.
In her plea before the Judge yester-
day Mrs. Lawrence testified thes Aer
artistic temperament was being crush
ed by the actions OF her husband,
which were nothing short Of brutal.

LIFE INSURANCE
And GENEROSITY

For some time past, corporations and
great fiduciary institutions-all organ
izations controlling or holding vast
sums of money-have been the chief
objects Of public attention. Honest
men have welcomed this manifesto
ton of public interest in the problems
created by modern methods of con-
Quoting enormous enterprises. Clear
headed men realize at the same time
that some of the Institutions made
prominent by their far-reaching OPP
erations and intimate relations with
the public, are conducted by men Of
the highest integrity and are perform
ing a public service of incalculable
value.
The great Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company, of New York, is COM
ing more and more TO be recognized
as an institution whose attitude toward
the public is nearer to that Of a gem
erous philanthropist than an oppres-
/ sive capitalist. This company con-
ducts the business OF insurance in a
way that can be understood by the
ordinary citizen.
1t has been made known in the lat
est published statements Of the Metro
politan Life that all full-life policy
holders in the Industrial Department
who reached the age of IS in 1906 and
all who reach that age i'm 1907.
are to have their policies continued
/ for life without further payment of
premiums. 1t is further provided that
any one holding a full-life Industrial
policy which has been in force fifteen
years will at the age OF so receive the
amount of the policy in cash.
Perhaps no former act of this COM
lpany is so significant as this volun-
/ tary generosity toward aged policy
/ holders from whom it can expect no
compensating relations in the future,
Il is stated that this concession alone
costs the company more than a mil
/ lion dollars.
Further concessions made by the
Metropolitan Life during 1906 affect
their younger policy holders, and have
taken the shape of voluntary cash divi-
dends upon industrial policies-divi-
dends not promised nor implied in
the policies, not bargained for hoped
/ Tor. or expected by those who receive
I them. This is an item of something
like two millions Of dollars. making
the total voluntary concessions during
the year more than three millions.
