referred to the periodN of religious in

development of the later spirit of
justice and liberty which has been as
a permeating heaven moulding New
England character in those principles
which in time were carried beyond the
Alleghenies to the West and even to
the South.
There is now manifest a spirit Of
ultra-conservatism. What was good
enough for our ancestors is good
enough for US. In the West the Ques-

Boston, the paramount question is,
'"Who was your grandmother" Mr..
Johnson discussed the signs of the de-
cline in the dominating spirit OF New
England seen in former times,
which was recognized in 1920 by Daniel
Webster who deplored the sentiment
which simply stood for the preserva-
ton of the past, and which is much
the prevailing spirit of today. The
call is everywhere for development,
and though Influenced by the rush and
commercialism of the age, we may
still cling to all that is best in New
England history and traditions. The
paper was a treatment of the topic in
wide diversity of phases, Mr.. John
son making humorous illusions to
many tenacious ideas and customs of
the descendants of Puritan stock.

ATTACK HIGH COST OF DYING
afbolic Churches VIII Abolish Cost
Iy Floral Funeral Tributes.

Cincinnati, Feb 25-The abolition of
floral tributes at funerals as a means
IF lessening the thigh cost of dying"
was announced from the pulpit of st.
Xavier, the leading Catholic Church
of this city, when it was said no
more such tribute would be allowed In
the church.
The high cost of DYING that has
received so much comment lately, is
laid to the extravaganza of the friends
and relatives of the deceased, who vie
with one another in the floral tributes
Instead of the floral display which
has been prohibited the church will
have memorial cards, which will be
distributed at the services and upon
which will be printed the name of the
deceased, age, and residence, a short
obituary notice, and the prayer that
is said for the dead.
Fathers Finn and Foley announced
this decision of the church, and it is
expected it will be copied generally in
the other Catholic churches in the
country.
