IBy telegraph TO The Tribune.

Beverly, Mass Oct. 22.-After three months
search, the Beverly police aided by the state
troops, to-day ran down the perpetrators of
score of recent burgaries in this vicinity. which
have mystifed the authorities Two little girls,
sisters. one of them twelve years old and the
other six. are accused by the police of having
committed the robberies.
Because of the age of the children and the i'm
possibility of bringing them to trial their names
SO far have been withheld by the police. They
said to come from a we'll do family. Their
father is an engineer and owns his home in
Beverly. Both of the girls so to Sunday school,
and the older the police say, is a favorie in the
public schools.
The police suspicious have rested the two
children for some time, but that they could be
guilty seemed unbelievable This morning the
police went TO their parents house with search

thousands of dollars. 1t was taken to the police
station, and tonight three persons identified
parts Of it as coming from their houses.
The police say the two children showed the
skill of oldtime criminals. Permission from their
mother to earn spending money by selling soap
on commission gave them an excuse to cali at
residences in the town. If any one was at home
when they rang the bell they tried 10 sell their
soap; if they were not at home, the police
say the children sought the nearest window or
door. walked in and helped themselves They

He then spoke of the encouraging advance that had been made In the financial condi ton of the church and especially com. mended the pledge system which had been introduced at the beginning ot the present financial year. He then alluded to some things which ought to be attended to in the near future and which could be done if all worked to- gether as they had in the past.
 But let us not forget that the fnan- cial side of the parish Is not the only side that is important h. said. The parish Is only section of the church. The church building itself Is the home for all to meet together as the chill dren of common heavenly Father. to worship Him. to gain inspiration and strength for duty and encourage ment from ono another. The church should emphatically stand for fra ternal relations The brotherly spirit of love. kindness and forgiveness should characterize the lives of all the members of the church our religion is of very poor quality if it does not issue in the manifestation of the fra ternal spirit In all our relations.
 Let us remember In conclusion that the keynote of christians lifs ought to be that of service for others.
