COME AND INTERRUPT"
That Genial Invitation OF the Pastor OF

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN--Sir: In
that wonderful letter written by the Rev.
John Haynes Holmes and published in
THE Sun he says:
Any brother minister who comes 20 my
church for any purpose will be invited into
my pulpit. and II he wants TO speak will be
Invited to speak. l shall take II for granted
that he can be trusted to observe the ordi-
nary courtesies due from one clergyman to
another and the ordinary decenoies OF fair
play between man and man. Treat man
as a brother and a friend and he will never
fail you.
There speaks a man who rings true"
both as man and n Christian. There
speaks also n brave man. who has the
courage of his convictions. one who really
believes in the brotherhood of man that
Christ taught always and everywhere
Both Mr.. Holiness life and his words
are GASES In the desert OF religious
hypocrisy which Is making more infidels
than n thousand Ingersolls and Paines
ever could. May his example give other
men stronger convictions OF real Christian
ity and the courage to make their convic-
tions known. As It Is, when we go to
church now those words OF Emerson's !:

In the near future there Will be
much excited writing about the speed

year, and all along the Atlantic sea-
board ardent young men, armed with
long spyglasScs. stop Watches ana Ham
ing imaginations. are waiting to catch

at marvellous PAGES through the foamy

rushing into Massachusetts Bay at
seventeen knot gait. Curiously enough
she never was anywhere near 1t again,
even In her famous victories.
On the other hand. we shall fire.
qucntly read of the enormous gain In
speed made by the new yachts. In
order to get fair comparison one
would have to examine all the records
Of the famous seventies of n few years
back. In the royal realm Of the Amer
ica's Cup tho seventies of this year
will be the first OF their class. But let
us not lose sight of the fact that ten
years ago we read almost daily of the
tremendous gain In speed among the
ninety fOotcrs. and one would have sup
posed that the older yachts were hope
lcssly outclasSed by the newer ones.
Comment Of this sort is the product
OF insufficient information. Yachts
does not as rule win by hours, but
by minutes and fractions Of minutes.
There Is no way Of arriving at pre-
else computation OF the comparative
speeds of yachts except that of racing
them together But historic figures
are by no means embarrassing or in
significant. ON October ~, 1900. Co

was to windward and return. The
wind breezed from - to 20 knots.
and there was short chop sea. Re-
! lance covered the course In 3 hours

never was any question that Reli

ordS just quoted show the speed diff,

clusion we should have had the Co

Improving the Breed by Law.

That the enforcement through legal
agencies Of the principles Of eugenics,
admirable as they are, belongs to
future ideal state Of society, and not
to the imperfect present, is the opinion
of such authorities rs Dr. WILLIAM
MABoN, superintendent Of the Manhat-
tan State Hospital and chairman Of the
Medico- Psychological Associations COM
mlttee which has studied the subject
with scientific care, and certainly with
out prejudice against any practicable
scheme for race improvement. The
conclusions OF the committee were sup
ported by the society at its meeting
this week. when resolutions advocating
"clean bills Of health" and evidence
Of normal mind" in candidates for mar
riage licenses were emphatically re-
jected by It.
Like most reformers, the eugenists
move too fast. They would remake a
world overnight, ana change the habits
of whole race by writing n law on
the statute books. Not only would the
course when they advocate 1all 10 ac-
complish the purpose they desire, but
It would inevitably bring In Its train
unnecessary suffering ana lawlessness.
But this Is not to say that their cru
SADIE will accomplish no good. On the
contrary, as DR. MABoN says:
II do think that. as education OF the
people continues and the lay public be-
comes more and more familiar with the
consequence OF the marriage Of UNIT per-
sons, the health OF a prospective husband
or wife wiz exert a more and more power

. wider"

does not exclude love from his highly

In his address at the American Uni.

which have an photographer, n per-
sonal and a polltico.hstorical interest,
aside from their general philosophical
content and their felicity OF phrase:
1.-THE object OF scholarship. the object
Of all knowledge, whether you call 1t by
the large name OF scholarship or not, is
TO understand, Ia to comprehend, Is to
know what the need OF mankind is and
to md that need In yourself, so that you
can interpret 1t without going to the books
merely by looking in your own heart
and listening to your own understanding"
1.-THE vision Of the scholar" he said,
rs worth more to the world than his
industry BY this intuitional or In
spiratiOnist method, applied to national
and international affairs. the scholar in
politics inquiries within for, all he wants
to know. The interior oracle reveals
"the need of mankind" Enlightened
by this cardiomancy. this consultation
Of the heart, the scholar In Office can
pursue his vision. He can, and should,
spend the money and blood Of his coun-
trymen for the need OF mankind, ito re-
lease the human spirit from every kind
Of thraldom." palpable reference to
the landlessness and llliteracy OF the
