KEEP 1T NEAR HOME.

Naturally there is something thrill
ing in the thought that the stars and
stripes wave above the heads of over
100,000,000 people. But the flag OF
this republic will wave more peace
fully and securely if it is not taken
too far away from home. There are
many people who would like ii
better had Old Glory never been
hoisted to the breezes farther west
than Hawaii. Where the flag is once
raised there We must defend it and
the experience of Russia shows it is
hard matter for a white power to go
into the orient and wage successful
war with the people who live there
Perhaps there will never. be any ne
cessity for the United States to wage
another war in the far east. Yet
there may be.

THAT AWFUL STORY.

Yes, it must have been a corker
In the Neolithic era
When some primitive New Yorker
Said: "Say, howdja like to hear a
Funny story-it's the latest?
And he'd start, and they'd look
pleasant
(Though the female and the straight
Laced male persons were not pres
ent.
Twas an aged tale this hummer
(Though the teller always wort
that
1t befell himself that summer
Nonsense, Faxed up years before
that)
When some thousand decades after
In old Karnac (see description)
It was still retailed with laughter
(Women barred) to the Hegyp'
tians.
Next it shone in dear old Hellas
In its after-dinner glory,
Classed by diners-out as-well-as-
Maizena, good stay story
And the Romans at their muttons
Had an anecdote bent too,
For they told it and burst buttons
with their spouses in absentu.)
Age by age the tales descended,
Crisper and more masculine
Age by age the tales descended,
Making proper persons finick-
And to think the way it's ended!
Just to think! I'm fairly anguished
For 1 called, and She-ab ore
When the conversation languished
She-Belinda-told that story!
Puck.

UNION GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE
Held at Broadway Congregational Church with Cantaa, and Sermon by Rev. Edward

The union Fast day service of the three Congregational churches was held in the Broadway Congregational church on Friday morning. It was one of much dignity and impressiveness and had more than the usual amount of musical proportionment-
 The opening part of the service was entirely musical, w. w. Gilchrists cantata, The Lamb of God, being given an excellent rendering by the choir under Organist Lesters' direction. The few Bible verses interpolated in the music and giving the key to the com posers' idea were read by Rev. B. s. Worcester. The cantata itself was full of power and beauty, and it's impress siveness and value were finely brought out by the several singers. In the pre- Jude the violin obligato by G. Herbert Rich was given with exquisite tone and expression.
 The cantata was followed by prayer by the Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff of the Second church, and by scripture read ing by the Rev. Lewellyn Pratt D. D. The short sermon was by the pastor, Rev. Edward s. Worcester, whose text was from Mark Is, 39. And when the centurion, which stood over against him. saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God" With the exception of Peters confession among the disciples, this hour first brought out an expression of belief in Christ's divinity. This confession came from a stranger-not a friend, from a gentle not one of the chosen people. He was probably unconscious of limiting his expression to the one and only God. He may have been able to acknowledge only that this was the son of a God. But it was something for him to dis cover even this and to recognize in Christ the divine something which made him the equal of God. What was it which brought the centurion to this conviction? Was it the things which were done at this time? There was the earthquake and the darkness and other strange signs which the centuri- on stationed at his post probably did not see. Was it the conduct of the

bystanders? It could hardly have been that It was the attitude of Jesus gave up the ghost. This convinced the centurion that he was the Son or God and it is this same attitude of Christ which convinces us. This 1t Is which human form. The other things-the earthquake, darkness and the rest might simply have been coincidences or they might even have been signs of disapproval showing Gods displeasure at the usurpation of authority by one who had no right to it. But the man. ner in which Jesus met his death leaves no room for doubt. His fidelity, loyalty, faithfulness, courage, and self sacrifice were those of no common man. The centurion, whatever may have been his faith and creed, was not blind to this fact. We who have pom dered over these events also see the unusual, the something out of the ordi- nary, the touch of the divine which makes us his faithful followers. We see the son-the only Son of God. His life, both before and after this, gave evidence of the truth of his statement that he was. But this event-this way in which he yielded and the purpose with which he gave his life for us-is proof standing alone of his divine nature. It shows us a divine and saw ing Christ The centurion saw and worshipped, the world saw and mar veled. we see and give him our ale glance. It is for this that he is ex- aHed.
 The closing prayer was by the Rev. s. H. Howe, D. D.. of Park church.
 Services in Other Churches.
 Rev. Nelson Poe Carey at Christ church preached from the Song of Songs ii. 4: His banner over me was love. The altar was draped in black. During the service the choir sang two hymns under direction of Organist Habekotte-
 'It Is Finished" from John xix. 19, was the text of Rev. J. Eldred Brown at Trinity Episcopal church Friday morning. Two hymns were sung and there was a good sized attendance.
