LAWN FETE.

Putnam Castle. Knights of King Ar thur, held lawn party, Friday even- ing, June 12, on the extensive lawn of George G. Durant. About one thou sand people were on the grounds and the receipts were most satisfactory. The lawn was lighted by hundreds of Japanese lanterns which were strung in four directions from high center pole, making a very pretty effect. The music was furnished by the Danbury band and the Alpha Glee club of Dan bury. Another attraction which proved very popular were the auto rides which were taken in three cars. William Comstock, John H. Baird and Horace Shepard kindly donated their machines for this purpose. The lawn party proved a great success and the mem bers of the newly organized society may feel justly proud.

POINTS TO ANOTHER EXAMPLE
OF cLEAR-sIGHTED WOMEN

NEWHALL, Sept. 26.--[Editor Her
add: desire to call the attention of
"Senex" to the fact that in the heresy
trial referred to the only person whose
sense Of justice impelled her to de-
mand hearing for the accused and a
settlement of the matter. according
to the evidence, was also a woman.
To Sophia Hildreth's list Of women
would like to add the name of Ida
Tarbell as a present day example of
a clear-sighted. minded, intellec-
tual woman.
i. for one. do not believe in the use
Of The Herald's Letter Box for sar-
castle personal comment or accuse
ton, and do not think we should ig-
of any letter writer in order to pounce
upon some trivial thing which gives
us an opportunity to be witty or what
the children call smart" We cannot
fail to learn something worth while as
we read these free expressions of the
thoughts which occupy so many diff
ferent minds and think that the point
of view Of the average woman writer
in these columns compares favorabiy
with that of the average man and
should be entitled to equal respect.
To return to "Senex." I would like
to say that my experience has no more
proved to me that woman is neces-
sarily a bigot than it has that mans
devotion to theology is for revenue
only. The sincere and helpful Chris
tians of both sexes whom l have
known In the course of my life are of
sufficient weight to overbalance both
accusations. Nor could intellect take
the place of spirituality in the develop
ment of such characters. We respect
and admire intellectually. but VIII"

MINISTER SEEKS TO DRAW
CHURCH AND WORKERS CLOSER

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.-[Editor
Herald: You have published and l
have read with interest communities
tons from avowed Socialists--a thing
that scarcely another paper know OF
dares do. Some OF these Socialistic
letters have been quite bitter In their
attacks on ministers and the church.
Permit now a minister and a church
member just a little space In which
to reply.
The bitterness OF these, writer's I
have referred to arises, ! know. from
their lack of real close. first-hand
knowledge of ministers and churches.
The Pacific Baptist in its issue or
September "a prints extracts from
report of DIR. John CIiffords pres1den-
tial address at the European Baptist
congress in Berlin. Germany. Dr.
Clifford is a noted English Baptist
clergyman. The following is an ex-
tract, which reads:
'.Dr. Clifford told how recently a
labor leader, who was also a Soclaiist
and a high churchman, after asking
many rigorous questions about the
Baptist faith, said: Your religion Is
Just the religion that we men are look
ing for. What is the matter with you
people that you don't let us all know
Being in touch with many newly
graduated theological students and the
leading denominational papers l can
saw that there is q great and growing
interest among church people In the
economic and social questions. the
church is opposed to self1shness, ana
cooperative commonwealth could not
exist among selfish people. Here Is
common ground, based on the lie ana
teachings of Christ. With many an
other minister am working and pray
ing for the coming of the time when
the war Of selfish competition shall be
done away and the unselfish cooper

and Gods will be done on eartn

MORAL EDUCATION

N REATER and more impressive
~ than any other sign Of the worlds
W advance toward a higher plane
Of civilization is the great interna-
tionaI congress on moral education
which is now being held at London.
Seventeen nations, including the United
States. are officially represented at the
congress, the presiding officer of
which, Professor Michael Ernest Sad
Ter of Manchester, England, has taken
occasion to emphasize the indebted
ness of the world to the United States
for thoughts and experiments in edu-
cation.
Americanism influences American ed
ucation to a certain extent, and will
influence it great deal more in times
to come, and Americanism deals with
the moral as we'll as the material as
poets of life. An American boy or girl
should leave school educated in prin-
ciple as well as in the ordinary sub
jects of study. Moral education should
not be COMPOUNDED with sectarian ed
ucation. American common sense long
ago decided that in the school training
of children no creed should be favored,
and there should be no opportunity
for differentiation between Catholic
and Protestant, Gentle and Jew. But
the jealous avoidance of sectarianism
may have caused, to some extent, a
certain confusion of ideas with regard
to moral and sectarian training. No
human being could object to moral
training in schools. Children who
were receiving moral training in their
homes would not be hurt by little
more during school hours, while chill
dren deprived of moral training at
home would learn at school the re-
lation of Americanism to the two great
commandments. "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength" and
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self"
