Puritan Spirit Rsvivs,.

We live in the twentieth Century, bur the Puritan spirit is not yet dead Forced to hide its diminished head and to burrow underground, it sur yired even rhe orgies of the period uf She Restoration, when England under the merry monarch, became merry ngland with a vengeance and diff ference. Transplanted to Maasachu- setts soil, 1t flourished there with a vigor and tenacity of life in direct ratio 10 the hardships endured by the early settlers. It has since that time, and in general for our good, served to modify our outlook on life, our code of laws, our very habits of thought. It was a fine old spirit, and, if it had itA limits and it's drawbacks, it's influence on the whole was for proprfety of con- duct and cleanliness of life.
 It crops out now and then, however, in ways fhst clash with the broader. mindedness of our era. For instance, irere we have a Winthrop lawfnaiSer introducing into tine state legislature of Massachusetts a. hill to restrain women from wearing Sowus with sleeves that do not come to the wrists, with neeks cut below the level of the shoulders, and with skirts that do not fall at least six inches below the pa- tella. Wrists and shoulders everyone understands. but why did the Win trop man say patefa if he meant knee pan ?- Washington PoSt

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
DOING SOMETHING ELSE.

The power to reconstruct ones plans, to adjust oneself to the situa- ton, is a quality to be coveted and darly preacher who was being quiz zed by his presiding elder concerning his methods of work. Uncle Erastus was finally asked if he had any par ticular weakness or besetting sin, and after thinking a moment he said: T guess it is lack of confidence in God" What do you mean by that ?p' asked the presiding elder. well, doctor, the fact is that when I pray for anything and don't get it right off, I usually go to work and make some other ar engagements" We quote Erastus not to justify his seeming unwillingness to await the slow working out of the di- vine plan, yet on general principles the man who Is an adept at making other arrangem ents' when a1ampered in the execution of his purposes is usually the man who succeeds.
 We all run up against obstacles and eInbarrassments. foreseen or unexpect- ed, and the natural tendency is to bow before them, saying, Whats the use; I have done all l can. I'll have to let it slide.'s I sometimes call tfp- on a business man and find siirn walk ing up and down his office in 0 way that reminds me of a caged lion. I have learned on closer intimacy with him that this is but a mark of his ir- resisitfbie energy, his undaunted spirit which will not brook defeat, which when one avenue of activity Is closed changes to another outlet; thwarted or opposed or caught in a thicket of difficulties. he does not throw up the sponge, but goes at the matter from another angle, tries another expedi- ent.

Following is q deserved com pi'mentArY notice of him from the Boston yranscrfpt:
 The late Rear Admiral Sperry was Tn avery sense of the term . good of . hcvf. thorough seaman, an accom- pashed navigator, . disciplinarian who without harshness enforced and main tasned obedience to orders and regula- tionz. It was his misfortune not his Fault that he never was in an engage meiit- Offcers so where they are sent, and lis assignment during the Span isli war was where his energy and his intimate knowledge of equipment and orsa aisation would count for the gooi of the whole service.

ister it are not skilful in doing some thing else. The baby wants this or that sweetneat fndu1gencs in which it ought not to have for any considera : ton, but the wise mother instead of simply denyins it the indulgence, di glass or string of beads.

This is not Q purely suppositious case, for father has told me within a fortnight that so simple a device as the introducing of chess in to his own home has led his boy Of 16 to break certain associations which were becoming harmful to- him.
 And in that other large sphere of common activity in which those who other and pay deference even to their whims-I mean the church--he who can do something else graciously and to some advantage is likely to be a successful leader and builder in the Kingdom. For in the church cirlces eEpeCldiy we EuiI up dSdlHEL d NdS. deal of inertia and even of positively llnrea sonable opposition.

Thus going on the principle that 8 half loaf is better than no bread. one who will do something else rather than the exact thing which he had planned, finds in the long run a considerable measure of success.
 The point is, that instead of lying down defeated and discouraged, when things do not go right in the home, in business, in social reforms, in muni- cipa1 life, in church work, can't we have wit enough to discern some other way and courage and humility enough to do something else, even if it differs
