Baptist Commonwealth, of Phila-
delphia, and in THE Christian World
Pulpit" of London, England.
Those who have heard it consider
it one of the most thorough and un-
biased presentations of the relations
of the two English-speaking coun-
tries, and especially appropriate at
the present time. 1t was delivered
in anticipation of the celebration of
the Tooth anniversary of the signing
of the Treaty of Client, December

We take great pleasure in repro
ducing it in our columns.
When the present year draws to
its close one hundred years will
have passed since the signing of the
Treaty of Client which closed the
last war between the United States
and England. Arrangements are
being made in both countries to
fittingly commemorate the event,
trusting that the bonds which unite
them may be strengthened thereby
Nothing could give me greater
pleasure than to be in a measure the
representative of both countries,

My country! and while yet nook

The crozier which he used at the services was presented him by the ladies' aux Hilary, and the episcopal ring which he wore was a gift of the Hibernians of the country.
 Blessed His StepmotFer.
 But in all that congregation, which taxed both the sanctuary and the body of the church. in the midst of all these leaders of the Catholic church in the United States there was one person more interested in the ceremonies than all around her and whose eyes never left the face of the consecrated pr late. She was Mrs. NJ. P. Shahan, of Millsburg, Mass, the stepmother of the nnonsignor. The most touching moment, from a. purely human point of view, in all the ceremonies was when the new bishop, clad in white vest Tnents. with white n1itFe, white gloves white slippers and holding the cro- zier of his pastoral authority, walked to the front pew of the cathedral af- ter the consecratior1 had been con- cluded and there blessed Mrs. Shahan. The latter knelt with bowed head and tear-dimmed eyes as she received this, the first pontifcal blessing of the new ly consecrated prelate.

of the sickness of Policeman William Foley. of Stonington, who is a material witness but Attorney Abel Tanner for the defendant opposed this, as he said that one of his witnesses came from Wisconsin and the attorney thought that they could all agree on what Mir. Casey would say if he were in court.
 The judge denied the motion of At torney Hewitt and told the attorneys that the court would take a recess while to enable them to draw up a paper which would contain what MT. Foley might say. When this had been accomplished, the trial proceeded.
 The witnesses put. upon the stand to show the plaintiffs side of the case were the plaintiff himself, the defend ant, and Albert Denlson. At o'clock the plaintiff rested
 The first witness tor the defense was Daniel B. Denison and he was followed by MT. Hart and MT. Brown was also called to the stand by Attorney Tam ner.
 In his testimony Mir. Hart stated that he had understood through letters that came to him that MT. BroI-n had prac- tically given up the idea of buying the place, although he had had frequent opportunities to do so.
 In April of 1913 he claimed he gave MT. Brown notice that he was deter mined to dispose of the place and MT, Brown had asked if he might stay on it until a customer was found.
 It was shown that the checks for the rent that had been sent out, west to Mir. Hart had all been signed by Mrs. Brown and Mir. Brown also tes- tiled that he never wrote any letters tp MT. Hart but that his wife had writ ten all the letters and that she had written some letters over which they disagreed and he disapproved of them
 A man named Whitford wanted to buy the place and offered $2.30O, but the best that MT. Brown would offer was S1,750, although at one time he had said he would buy at $2.500, Mir. Hart claimed. A deed had been lodged at the Mystic River bank for MT. Brown to take it at that price, but he had never done so.
