ANOTHER BIG CROWD
AT THE TAUNTON FAIR

"A
were In attendance at the Bristol county
fair at Taunton yesterday. Although
large, this number is somewhat lower
than the average of former years. owing,
probably to the cold weather.
The management, however, believes that
warmer weather today will offset yester-
days small attendance. Many manufac-
turing establishments shut down yester-
day and will remain closed today In order
to give their employees chance TO visit
the fair.
The trolley cars from Providence and
other cities brought in large numbers. 1t
Is believed that the Providence quota Is
unusually large this year.
Yesterday the Taunton police were in
formed that $S dozen watches, two
boxes OF cigars and a young man en-
ployed by one of the Midway attractions
were missed about the same time.
The Providence police are also on the
lookout for him. In case he should come
here.
The Midway attractions are unusually
good this year. there being many novel
features.
The exhibits are about as numerous as
usual this year. The Judges commenced
their work late Tuesday afternoon and
expected to be through this morning.
The races carded for yesterday were the
2:3O trot and the 2:ls pace. with matinee
amateur races of the New Bedford Driv-
ing club.

made by Aeronaut George Drew.

PASTOR ON CURIOSITY.
'Must Not Be Used by Churches in a
Vaudeville Manner"

Curiosity: Its Use as an Appeal in
Religion" was the subject of the Rev.
Henry X. Denlinger. of the High Street
Presbyterian church last night. His SER
mon was the outline for a series of SER
mons he will deliver beginning next Sun
day.
This curiosity is one OF the very strong
est impulses in human life, either for
good or for evil,' said Mr.. Denlinger. ION
it knowledge Is built. BY reason of 1t
our frat parents were banished from Eden.
Curiosity is an Instinct evolved from the
animal world. The devil knows how to
use curiosity.
II am not going to speak so much Of
curiosity as q basis of knowledge, but l
am going to ask this question: How far Is
it legitimate for the church to appeal to
this impulse. Certainly 1t is that we must
guard the use of 1t by a certain dignity
and by those morAlities which ought to
govern all advertisement.
IF the advertisement of the church Is
like thai of certain health foods, which II
people use they would starve to death,
your curiosity has been a snare.
Since the gospel has to do with the in
depreciation of life in the light OF faith,
a lecture or a mere ceremony, or a mere
physical, sensational emotion, will not
satisfy the demand. Fever is not health.
E-motionalism does not necessarily result
in principle of action.
"The other side of the shield is that IL
the church possesses this real religion the
work itself will be its most important adj
vertisement. Unless there Is reality there
will be no revival. The great Welsh re-
vival is an illustration of the real re-
ligious movement.
Curiosity Is a legitimate means to use,
but his means must not be used by the
church in a vaudeville Inc

speech OF welcome was made by Frederick
Reinhard, president of the M. G. ". Cor
mania, to which the chief magistrate OF
the city made a response and hen the
singers under the direction of Julius
Wuesthoff sang appropriate selections.
Three cheers for the Mayor, who had al
tended the opening of the regular weeks
festival, were given with q will.
Regret was expressed everywhere that
the two days which had been added in the
hope that they would help to tide over the
deficiency created by the wet weather
had turned out to be just as bad, If not
worse, met~eorologicaliy speaking, than the
preceding week.
The votes in the beauty contest and in
the contest for the most popular man IN
the county will be counted shortly by the
committee in charge and win be announced
by the chairman.
These were the officers of the festival
committee: Gustav L. Erb, president;

NEW BRUNSWICK Y. NJ. C. A.
HAS A GRAVE PROBLEM.
If It Wants to Retain It's Home It
Must Put Up with Vaudeville
in Same Building.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. S0-If the
board OF directors Of the Young Mems
Christian Association will consent to lease
the building which was its home for many
years to a theatrical manager. the build
ing will soon be transformed into a vaude-
vile theatre. A New York manager has
made a bid for the place, and Is now wait
ing the answer of the directors.
The directors are ~endeavoring to realize
something on the property, which has been
idle for several months, or since the work
Of the association WAS given up here.
They want to get far enough ahead TO
warrant building q new structure, with the
hope OF renewing interest in the work
here, but to do this they must get some
income from the present building.
A few weeks ago they rented a part
of the building to local young men who
have been conducting a dancing school
there. This raised 4 storm Of protest from
people who thought hat a dance hall n
a building dedicated to religious work was
sa%crilegious. but the directors heln that
they saw no harm in the rental; that dane
ing was really a harmless diversion when
properly conducted, and that they needed
the income. Now comes the theatrical
problem, with people taking issue on both
sides.

DECLARE YOUR BELIEF.
Too Many Today Conceal Their ALLIE
glance to God. Says Pastor.


That there are far too many in this
generation who are concealing their al
%iegiance to their o was a statement
made by the Rev. John Mcdowell in the
Park Presbyterian Church yesterday in
speaking on What God Expects of His
People, The minister said in this con-
nection that a public confession of re-
ligion is, if anything, more necessary than
ever before, for by it, said the preacher,
men are finding support in the trials of
life.
"The question, Is public confession of re-
.ligion necessary? cannot be ignored" said
Pastor Mcdowell. Men inside Of our
churches as we'll as outside of them are
asking il. We must face it squarely and
give answer in no uncertain words.
Tor mark you, there are great issues at
stake in this question. The future posi-
ton of all organized religion Is involved.
The sery existence of those organizations
through which religion has worked is in
question here.
lou answer. however, depends on what
is meant by religion. If by religion we
mean the Bible religion-or Christianity
there is but one answer and that answer
IS found in the words of my text, Let the
redeemed Of the Lord say SO. There are a
great many people-reltgious people-Wno
seem 20 think that II is enough TO think so
-or TO feel SO. But genuine Bible religion
always involves an open, public confessions.
Men seek for open and public confession
