A SHORT CUT TO BOSTON

William Barclay Parsons, chief en-
gineer of the Boston, New York & Cape
Cod Canal company, says the waterway
will be open to traffic In 1910 or before.
Thus comes the end of struggle ex-
tending through three centuries, the
success Of a plan three times defeated
by war and once by the assassination
of a president of the United States
While marine interests of New York.
New England and elsewhere watch the
development of the project with keen
interest, Cape Cod is fairly shaken to
its center by the promised elimination
of the task first suggested In 1880.
Sandwich, the northern terminus of the
canal, may be said toThave been born
and brought up with the canal plan. It's
founders, who organized the village In
1899, were among the first in their day
to look upon the canal with favor. As
for the section of the Cape that lies
away from the canal, westward, the
mention of the idea to almost any one
reveals disapproval that dates from
the seventeenth century.-Appleton s

FINDING REFUGE IN
GODS ETERNAL ARMS
REV. BAKER P. LEE TALKS OF
WHITSUNDAY
Large Congregation Greets Rector OF
Christ Church, Including Many
Who Are Not Regular Mem
bers of the Parish

A magnificent tribute was paid Rev.
Baker P. Lee, rector of Christ church,
yesterday morning in the large congre-
cation that gathered for the morning
service. Members of the parish and
friends of Rev. Mr. Lee from all parts
of the city flocked to the church.
Mr.. Lee took for his text Deuteronomy
1921, THE eternal God is thy refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting
arms; he shall thrust out the enemy
from before thee and shall say destroy
them.'
The speaker dweled on the everlast-
ing refuge in God in times of trouble,
and said that this was Whit Sunday,
one of the great days of the Christian
year, the birthday of the church, for it
was the descent of the Holy Spirit that
gave the church its power. He spoke
of the great work of Luther, Savanna
rola, Moody, Spurgeon and Francis
Murphy, all inspired by the Holy Spirit.
The force of the church" he said, 'is
in it's spirit, no matter how welthy or
how poor it may be. The test is the
refuge that we find in God and in his
strong arms. 1t is a refuge from enc
mics, from sin, from the things that
have left undone that should have
been done. The personal touch OF God S
arms is like that of a father to child
asleep in his arms, that of absolute
trustfuness. We need the refuge at
the time when death takes off the mask
of hypocrisy and the naked soul stands
forth.
"Since 1915 the rights of the home
have been protected, and every English
man and American keeps this regard
for the privacy and sacredness Of the
home and it's personal affairs and does
not make public that which is held
sacred"
The parish is said to be in a splendid
condition, and nearly the entire con-
gregation greeted the rector at the close
Of the sermon.

DIR. BAER ADDRESSES
OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE
Jesus Christ Urged as the Ruling Pas
sion, Leading to Larger Life
Through Principle of
Obedience

The baccalaureate sermon of Occi-
dental college for the class of 1908 was
preached yesterday afternoon at the
college chapel by DR.. John Willis Baer,
president of the college.
DR.. Baer, who had been requested TO
deliver the sermon by the members OF
the class, took his text from John IL
4-6. He said in part:
after the night comes the dawn, and
so it was with those fishermen. They
had always been fishermen and had
only stopped their work for three years
during the ministry of the Galilean.
Some say they should not have gone
back to their nets so soon, but others
say, and | am with these, that they
should be upheld for their industry.
picture the gray dawn, after the
nights unsuccessful fishing. The dark
est part of the night is always just be-
fore the dawn, but there is always the
dawn. Look at that break of dawn
at sea. Cast your net on the right
side, the voice came across the sea
and obedience transfigured defeat to
victory
80 my subject today energies into
that of obedience. Revelation and
recognition come through obedience.
Obedience to the Masters provision
brings mans provision. There is a
right way and a right side to your
ship.
your call is away from the sinful
and sordid, to the sacrificial life and
one of service. I pray to God that you
may never turn from this command.
This obedience brings rich fellowship.
"You stand at the dawn of new
day; let the ruling passion of Jesus
Christ be your passion, l covet for you
the larger and obedient life, For two
years we have walked together, seen
almost as eye to eye.
1--WE stand by the sea of life-we
begin with the dawn Of new day, and
where their success began yours will
begin"

"BROODING OF SPIRIT"
SUBJECT OF SERMON
apart of the Greatness of the Bible Is
That Its Language Is So Full
of Meaning" Says
Minister

"The Brooding of the Spirit" was the
topic of Rev. Mr.. InWood, pastor OF
the Boyle Heights Methodist church,
yesterday morning. He said in part;
at is a part of the greatness OF the
Bible that it's language is so full that
no one translation will express the full
meaning of many a passage, and the
words l have just read are one OF them.
Three different readings are needed TO
bring out the thought of the writer
"'Does the spirit that he made to
dwell in you lust unto jealous envy
ing?' The spirit he made to dwell III
you he yearns over with jealous envy
ing. The spirit he made to dwell in us
yearns over us with jealous envying.
These are the three great meanings OF
this word.
What an awful blight jealousy is
to a life. 1t darkens, saddens, despalrs
any life in proportion as it touches 1t.
James saw it rising among those early
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the rich by the
poor; jealousy leading them as it al
ways does into conduct the very oppo-
site of the spirit of God. 1t surprised
him and he challenged them by the
humility of the spirit of Cod who never
seeks his own and who is the inner
light of the Christian to see it's folly,
its pain, it's wrong. jealousy The man
that is true to the spirit must have
none of it.
Religion Not Ceremony
at is the great fact of our faith that
religion is not a ceremony, not creed,
but a divine possession. 1t is God
homing himself in the soul. And the
other great truth here is that God is
intensely solicitous how we treat that
Spirit that does dwell in US. He is his
representative-his ambassador in the
court of the soul. Eight years ago every
eye in our land was fixed on Peking,
where Minister Conger was in peril of
his life But there was something more
than a mere man in peril To treat him
wrongly was to wound this great ma
ton, this sovereign power. And every
eve turned eastward with great anX-
iety. So God watches as to how we
are treating his representative. For
how we treat him determines his bless
ings on our lives; for that determines
our loving confidence in him.
"And if God is solicitous as to how
we treat his spirit that spirit is in
tensely solicitous over us. Just as that
spirit brooded over chaos in the be-
ginning (the word is the same here)
so he broods over us seeking to bring
us into a higher life. Just as the bird
hutters over her young striving to-
awaken them to better things, so does
he. He longs, yearns over us as
true and loving husband does over an
unfaithful wife, over unrequited love,
seeking to bring it back again to fidei-
ity and trust. The writer is pleading
the jealousy of God, his jealousy for
an undivided love. his jealousy over
worldliness in his followers. That
means a divided, an unreauited love-
for whoever becomes friendly to the
world becomes an enemy to God.
And that means disaster to the soul.
SO God yearns after us with a heart
broken jealousy"

The Source Of Life.

In paleozoic times it was the earth
itself, not the sun, to which plant and
animal primarily stood beholden for
existence. This gives US most in.
structive glimpse into one planetologic
process. To the planets own internal
heat Is due the chief fostering Of the
beginnings Of life upon its surface.
Thus a planet is capable Of at least
beginning to develop organisms with
out more than q modicum Of help from
the central sun. We talk Of the sun
as the source of life. and SO it is today
in the sense Of being its sustainer, but
the real source was the earth itself.
which also raised it through its baby
hood.-Professor Lowell's 1.-THE Evolu'

That Much, at Least, the Actor Critic

John Hare, the English actor, once
infrequent performances of Hamlet.
He would willingly have avoided Tree

sons obvious to others who, like him,

Hare chivalrously remained In his
box to the end of the play. AS the
curtain descended on each act he had
dreaded the invitation Of his fellow
player to his dressing room, where the
usual courtesies would have been ex.
pected.
Act by act slipped by without any
word from the stage, and Hare grew
proportionarely relieved. AS the last
curtain fell, however, and Hare retired
from the box he found messenger at
the door with "Mr. Trees compliments.
and wouldn't he come home for Il bite
Of supper with some friends:'
At table Hare parted opening after
opening, yet not once did Tree refer
directly to his Hamlet. Hare on his
part dreaded every break in the con.
versation would bring the dreaded top
ic. After a decent time he drew away
from table to 60 home. Tree accom-
panied him to the hall to put on his
coat. "Now's my hour" thought Hare
Not one word from Tree. They shook
hands on the threshold, and Hare start
ed down the steps in happy relief.
Tree followed him to his carriage
Hare heard him. In dread. Still the
topic was avoided. Tree, with cordial
courtesy, opened the door. Hare slip

joyfully heard the door slam and drew

Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet

passerby had picked it up and walked
off with it. Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away, and
to his horror discovered that it was
a quaint and rare little volume for
which he had paid $50. His chagrin
was intense, as the work was almost
unique and the prospects Of replacing
it were remote.
