SCIENCE, The
GOSPEL OF SALVATION
A Lecture Delivered by Willis F. Gross
In Rowland Hall Last Even

willis F. Gross, c. s. b., member of
the board OF lectureship of the Mother
church. the First Church of Christ,
Scientist. in Boston, lectured in How
land hall last evening under the auspices
of the Barre Christian Science church.
A good-sized audience heard Mr.. Gross,
whose address was on the subject:
"Christian Science, the Gospel OF Saliva
ton" He spoke in part as follows:
Men are no longer satisfied with that
of God which gives merely
a reasonable assurance of heaven be-
yond the grave to those who are found
worthy. They desire to know Him.
They are asking for present proof that
they are solving life's problems Alright
and have not labored in vain.
There is no mystery in Christian Sci
ence save the mystery which enshrouds
everything which is not understood.
Christian Science can be understood and
when it is understood, it brings heal
ing to the sick, comfort to the sor-
rowing. and strength and courage in
the hour of trial and temptation.
The humbled Nazarene was the foun-
der of the Christian religion His teach
ings. and the many wonderful works
which demonstrated the truth of his
teachings, were the outgrowth of his
of God and man. His
mower to heal the sick, east out devils
and raise yhe dead was the divinely
natural result Of this understanding.
His mission was to make plain the way
of salvation from all evil. There is a

tured by Police--Much Drunken
ness in Bellows Falls.

Bellows Falls, May 81 "A dwarf,
named Martin Key who is SO years old
and stands four feet and seven inches
high is under arrest here on a serious
charge, while John Bowe, young man
of quiet and inofiensive manner lies in
very critical condition as the result
OF stab wounds under his left shoulder. I
Key il charged with the assault. which
took place on Canal street Thursday
night
Chief of Police Severance and Officer
Mckenna were told that the assault
was committed by Key, whom they
caught as he was fleeing from the scene
Of the crime Key has lived in Bel
lows Falls for five years and has at
times been in the employ of the Ver-
mont Farm Machine company but has
been out of work for some time past.
He is quick tempered and has OFTEN
been bothered about his inferior SIZE
and is said to have previously forcibly
resented the batting OF his companions
Rumor has it that he was angry
Thursday night because some beer had
been stolen from him When arrested
he had black eve which showed an
alteration of some kind. In pre-
liminary hearing yesterday afternoon,
Key pleaded mot guilty. and on mo-
tion Of his counsel, Charles II VIII
liams, the case was continued for one
week and Key was placed under $4,000

opinion that liquor had more or less to
do with the case
Bowe. the injured men, says ne
thinks Key stabbed him by mistake as
they had never had any previous
trouble Since the opening of the sa
looms at North Walpole there has been
much more intoxication on this side
of the river, and every cell Of the Bel

THE BOY PROBLEM.
Considered BY Dr.. E. 0. Thayer at
Laynen's League Meeting.

The annual meeting Of the Laymen's
league of the Uniyersalist church was
held in the vestry last evening and
after the business meeting an interest
ing talk was given by DIR u. u.
Thayer on the boy Problem" Dr.
Don Grout Of Waterbury was to have
addressed the league, but was unable
to be present
DR.. Thayer said that the boy prob
lem was the foundation of the future
social political and religious life Of
this country. and that the solution Of
the problem lies in the proper early
training of the boys He said that the
boy problem was what we have made
it. The boy himself is not naturally
a problem II everybody knew how
to train their boys and the homes were
all that they should be there would be
no boy problem.
To solve the problem, he said that
parents should look after the proper
physical development Of the boys. Pub
lie Fairgrounds should be established IN
the cities and these Fairgrounds should
be under the municipal control and not
left to women's clubs to support He
declared that we. must find things for
the boys to do or they viii find plenty
of things to do themselves, and therein
lies the secret Of all the juvenile crim'
inality. BOYS are naturally active and
full of life and want to be where some
thing is doing, and parents must see
to it that they are given plenty to
do that will be for their good as well
as their enjoyment Boys he assert
ed, should not be suppressed, but
watched over and directed
The speaker deplored the fact that
the moral education Of children is 50
sadly neglected in the schools in this
country. He said that many Of the
great educators are now emphasizing
the fact that the moral education Of
the school children is neglected in this
country In closing he said that the
proper solution OF the boy problem
means manly men, reliable citizens ano
the right kind of Christians The fu'
ture Of this country depends ON the
proper training of our boys.
The election Of officers Of the league
resulted as follows: President, Clinton
r. Millar; yice-president Dir G. F
Camp; secretary A Il Bruce; treas
urer, P. NJ. Cutler; program commit
tee, w. D Duthie, A. s. Martin Mc

NOT ONE LIFE LOST,
SAY THE POLICE
About 200 Buildings We're
Destroyed and 1000 Peo-
pie Were Turned Into the
Streets, Homeless and Pen
nileSS.

New York, May 27--Coney Island SUI
fered the worst fire disaster OF its ms
tory this morning. Dreamland. the larg-
est of amusement PACKS, was wiped out,
and about four blocks adjoining, COW
cred with booths, restaurants, hotel,
moving picture theatres and resorts OF
various types we're destroyed. The fire
broke out at o'clock this morning and
continued three and one-half hours. The
loss is between s2,Oo0,O0O and $3,00o,O0o.
About two hundred buildings were de-
stroyed, and perhaps 1000 persons were
turned into the streets, homeless and
penniess. No lives were lost
The burned area represents nearly a
third of the entire amusement city.
The fire was discovered in the scaf-
folding on Hell Gate" scenic railway.
Twenty minutes later all of gaudy
Dreamland of ten acres was one great
blaze. The flames were visible for nj
teen miles.
The Bostock animal show was near
where the fire originated, and the train
ers lost no time, while policemen stood
with drawn revolvers to guard the crowd
in the streets against the beasts, and
drove the animals into emergency cars.
When the transfer was nearly complet-
ed. the biggest of the lions, in a panic,
broke its bonds and leaped into the
street which was packed by throng OF
spectators CONSERVATION seized the
multitude. A mounted policeman APP
preached the crouching beast in the CEN
ter of the avenue with drawn revolver.
Twice he fired and missed Six more po-
lcemen lined up in front of the crowd
and opened d fusilade.
Backing away and leaving a trail of
blood from many wounds the lion dis
appeared into the dark tunnels of the
.Rocky Road to Dublin" In a black
corner he made his last stand. Three
final volleys finished him. Sixty of the
animals in the menagerie were LETT to
die by fire.
The cause of the fire will probably
never be definitely known, though it
is supposed that it had its origin from
hot tar in Hell Gate" Almost as soon
MS the fremen had hose connected to
the high pressure taps along the street,
great Dreamland tower, with its glare OF
many thousand electric bulbs, fell into
the lake and the fire swept on beyond
the bounds of Dreamland to the herd
of booths and concessions which lined
the narrow streets beyond.
The only casualties reported by the
police were three persons overcome by
the smoke. All three were revived.
The FIRE was visible all over Brooklyn
and lower New York and before o'clock
the rapid transit trains were bringing
throngs of sightseers, while the boule-
wards were crowded with automobiles
coming Coneywards.
Former Senator William Fl. Reynolds
principle owner Of Dreamland, when no
tilted of the fire, said, 'sWe have beer
afraid Of this for seven years and have
been doing. our best to ward it off
Dreamland was worth s2,50000O and
there is less than S500,000 insurance

still alarm at 2:45 o'clock yesterday

house ON Center street, The shack was
about 10 feet square and was blazing up
in good shape when the firemen arrived.
IT was only about six feet from the

occupied by a Rizzi family, and would
undoubtedly set fire to the house but
for the work of the fire-fghters with
the chemicals. Tbs shack was set fire,
it is said, by children playing with
matches
