justified. or rather requitted, the Pub
lican in this parable. In mere numbers
Of praiseworthy actions. the Pharisee
probably outranked the Publican.
These the Master did not undervalue
nor did he approve the wrongs Of the
Publican. With equal sincerity of pur-
pose and equal humility of spirit, the
verdict would have been wholly diff.
ferent. But the Pharisee ignored the
very foundation of righteousness--the
love of God and the love of neighbor.
These twin commandments embrace
the whole law of God, and comprehend
the entire message of salvation. IN
their absence, all other demonstra-
tons Of piety become mere empty
ceremony.
The Publican. however, had thor.
oughly absorbed the spirit of these su.
preme mandates. His pleading words
evidenced a most intense desire for
the love of God, and his humble self
designation attested his love for mel.
ghbor Whatever frailties others
might possess, he confessed himself
a sinner. He didn't accuse his brother
by comparison, nor attempt to offset
his own faults by whatever good he
might have done. He offered no excuse
for his infirmities. and asked no i'm
munity from the just consequences
of his own wrongs. All his thoughts
conferred in the hope that God would
not continue a deserved displeasure,
nor withdraw divine assistance in
whatever trials might yet beset him.
And so. in the hopeful anguish of his
heart, he could only exclaim, God,
be merciful to me, sinner"
The much.embracing adequacy and
the continually unfolding expansive
ness of this concise prayer, was doubt
less intended to illustrate one OF the
many valuable lessons taught in this
parable. Superfluity of words for de-
votional purposes have never receiv
ed divine sanction. All of Christ's say
ings were te-se and pithy; but never
theless, stimulating and soul arousing
Long prayers anu long sermons never
incite action, they weary the MIND

ARCANUM WILL BOWL
 ELKS ANOTHER SERIES. New London Men Think They Will Show Different Result This Time.


 Because of the sIoseness of the re- cent intercity club bowling tournament the Arcanum club of this city and the Elks' club of New London have ar ranged a sequel in a tournament of five games, says the New London Day The tournament just concluded in oluded the Arcanums the Elks and the New Mystic club of Mystic. The Mystic bowlers were not in the run ming with the Elks or Arcanumites, but the race between the latter teams was very nearly a dead heat By de- feating the New Mystic at New Lon don last week, the Arcanums squeezed out winners of the tournament by one game, but on total pinfall the Elks were ahead 5S pins. As the total pin fall was 24,OOO, the margin of but 58 shows just how evenly tha teams were matched.
 There is much rivalry in a good natured way between the Elks and the Arcanumites and much argument as to which club has the call, bowling wise. The Arcanum club rlayers have never been defeated in a series. The Ell1s feey that the upriver bowlers have not a thing on them, and this tournament will be a battle royal
 All of the details have not been fix ed, but it is planned to roll two match es a week until the finals are reached. There is a proposition to eliminate the players until the two high men are left for the finals. but this point has not been decided.
 The teams will be made up as fol- lows;
