man himself. He brought his message
to us In words and yet we can read
It plainest in his life, Let your minds
be filled with the memories OF all
that his services and influence meant
to us as individuals, to this church,
and to the whole community, and then
with the thought Of that beauty OF
spirit which filed his whole being and
overflowed into ours. Then indeed the
teaching becomes embodied and con-
crete. Here and there" he once
wrote, God sends men into the world
who seem born to set their fellows
free, who inspire in them ardor Of
soul for the great simplicitles deeper
lying than all distinctions OF epoch or
nation or class. They give us back
to ourselves, they set us In eternal re-
lationships. AS we come under the
spell of their genius, we feel our hearts
burn within as the hearts Of the dis
clples burned, listening to their Lord
on the way to Einmaus."

we came under the spell Of his genius;
and as zone Of his last letters showed

In his loss 1t seemed at first as

ever accepts the terms let him follow
ma" Christ also knew TO what pur-
pose he was speaking when he said:
III any man will be my disciple ~
him deny himself. and take up his
cross and follow me-" And In another
passage he said: I'VE know that the
experiences OF life which have made
OF us in any high sense men ana
women, are not the experiences that
stand related to ease, luxury, self
indulgence, to freedom from all care
and responsibility, but those that stand
related to hardship and toll. to self
sacrifice and the iron discipline OF
law which has constrained us to have
regard not only for our own things
but for the things of others" This
hardship, however, Is of no petty ma
ture. II is not the hardships of the
prison house but the hardship of the
battlefield, the heroism of daring ad-
venture. How he loved such words
and thrilled to the thought that the
Christian life is life Of daring. or
st. Paul he said: There was no tame
and colorless conventionality In the
gospel that he preached; 1t was
world shaking adventure, and auda-
cioues attempt to remake human So
ciety." We have already seen how
this same adventurous spirit inspired
his search for the very nature OF God,
and he gives utterance again to the
same feeling when hedeclares, 1T Is
the finest rapture Of spiritual daring
when some soul dares to scorn death
and declare that the soul will never
die,
The Christian life of hardship and
! daring must then be a life OF JOY IN
its deepest sense. Deeper than the grief
over the misery and sin OF the world
lies the Joy Of rising in undaunted spir-
/ 1t to so stupendous conflict Jesus
indeed was a man Of sorrows and ac-
aualnted with grief, and so must every
| follower be; but Mr.. Haynes mad no
sympathy with such representations OF
him as we often find In art and ltera-
ture which picture him as effeminate,
detected or despairing. Speaking for
myself he has said, II am quite sure
that I should never have thrown down
my fishing nets to follow the sort OF
man that the conventional hymn ana
painting set forth" Surely no leader
could have stirred such depths OF en-
thusiasm and aroused such passionate
devotion to his cause and to himself,
| had he not been filled with the pro-
foundest form of JOY we know, the
faith in victory on which all our
hopes are set. Certainly Mr.. Haynes
found ground for JOY in such leader
and such companionship. Do you nor
recall his sermon on the Christian life
as a life of companionship and again
that stirring sermon on the expert
ence Of the disciples when their hearts
burned within them at the recognition
of their great call, and their great
leader? Here then we have the first
part Of his message to the individual,
Join this noble company Of the burn
ing heart In a life of hardship, daring
and Joy in the service Of your fellow
i men.
Still deeper even than this message
to his people was that yearning inJunc-
ton to them to drink deep at the wells
of the spirit and to keep clear the di-
vine vision that glorifies all the
Thoughts and all the deeds of life. AT
ter all, service Is not enough. Men may

Chapin was dragged Into the water when he attempted to assist his friend A half hour after the acci- dent the spot was deserted, but a crowd of neighbors began a search soon after dark and succeeded in re- covering the body at about S:5o o'clock.

THREE O'CLOCK SESSION.
Not Popular With Teachers or Pupils
 at Crosby.


 Although the petition presented to the board of education by one hum dred pupils of Crosby High In re- gard to the , o'clock session is not likely to have any immediate effect, 1t may eventually result in the aboli- ton of the afternoon study hour. For many of the teachers agree with the pupils that the afternoon ses- sion does very little good One teacher in particular is strongly op- posed to It. and 1t Is believed that Principal stephen w. Wilby does not think it productive of wonderful re- suits.
 During the fall and winter months vice president, Mrs A. C. Bentley; the pupils, who have to return 10 the 3 o'clock session, are scarcely able to reach home and have their lunch before they have to start back to school again. Generally after the 3 o'clock study period is over, the pupils go down town or kill" the next couple of hours before they re- turn home.
 The pupils consequently are away from home the entire afternoon and inform their parents 1t is all because of the , o'clock session. As rule the pupils that go back in the after noon are not in the mood to study very zealously, and though they may have their heads close to the books, their minds are anywhere but on the contents. It was always con sidered more or less of joke.

 What would Dr Osler say if he heard about Pierce and Cunningham taking part ill so many overtime games? His dope on old age Is knocked silly by the showing Of the two veterans Exchange. How about John Roberts, who was playing 70 years ago?
 Referee kiIgara has the fault Of being afraid to call third foul on on offending team Last night after two fouls were chalked down against Brockton both Cunningham and Do- herty engaged in a hard fight and both should have been penaliZed, but Kilgara ignored it.
 Cameron's attack on Menard Mon day night was wholly uncalled for, and the fact that he took advantage of him when he saw him on the floor showed a lack of fairness. A man the size of Cameron should not look for any odds from any man in | the game-Providenc Journal. Cusick seems to have a streak of | hard luck, as "Wednesday he was | struck on the mask by ball and the headgear was damned against l his nose. He was forced to leave | the floor for few minutes and upon his return the nose had swol- len to considerable proportions.
 Ado Mansfield made his first ap- pearance since last season on the ] floor of American Hall last evening and was given a rousing reception | by the Pawtucket crowd. Mansfield made many friends during the shor time that he played with the Tigers and his career is being watched with much interest by the Pawtucket rooters.

There will be one of the warmest wrestling matches that ever took place in the state of Connecticut up in Waterville this evening. when Harry Shackley and the "Unknown" will meet. Mystery still surrounds the Unknown, although many claim be on the inside. Shackley will weigh in at 135 pounds and his op- ponent will weigh but 115 pounds Many sports from this city will at tend and Thomaston expects to send down a delegation to root for Shack ley. The latter will have the ad- vantage in weight and his friend expect to see him make good.
 John Perilli and Raoul de Rouen furnished plenty of excitement in their wrestling match at the Coluin- bia theater, Boston, last night. The match was to have been a handicap, in which the Frenchman agreed to throw Perilli three times in an ho IT. De Rouen in eighteen minutes pinned Perjlli to the mat for the first fall. For tough tactics Perilli was dis qualified in four minutes in the sec ord bout. De R,ouen wanted to con tinue, but when Perilli resorted to his foul tactics again he was dis qualified for the second time after sixteen minutes of v"estling.
 Willie Collins of Central Village won the wrestling match last even- ing with Kid Mack of Philadelphia.
