GENTLE SPIRIT HAS POWER
One of the Best Signs of Mans Re.
ligIon Is the Tone OF
His Voice.

One of the fruits Of the spirit is
eentleness. Dc not think It is an in
dolent virtue, having neither infiu-
ence nor power. 1t has an opposite
quality. The mild power has an easy
SWAY. Select from ones acquaint-
ances a person Of benign and tranquil
demeanor and you feel at once he has
an influence over you. You like to be
with him. You incline to listen to him.
If, however, he is loud Of tone and
violent Of manner, you are with him
as little as possible. Why? Because
his temper is animal. 1t doesn't touch
a single melody in ones nature. He
Is harsh and discordant. That is not
one Of the fruits of the spirit which
the apostle commends. 1t is one of the
works Of the flesh which the apostle
condemns, such as envyings, wrath,
strife, etc. There is not one Of the
prescriptions of the Scriptures that
gentleness practises. 1t belongs to
the spirit, the divine spirit, which
banishes loudness and vociferation
from it's daily life. 1t may be coun.
forfeited, but that is because it is of
great worth. One Of the best signs of
a mans religion is the tone Of his
voice. II that Is eruptive and volcanic

All Is Gods.

All that we have Is Gods. He made
us and not we ourselves. Every good
gift and every perfect gift has come
down from the father of lights, with
whom is no variableness, neither shad

rs all the temporal goods We possess

also gave us his own son, the one

blessing, comes to us from God. We
are his stewards.

DUCHESS PLANS A
STAY AT NEWPORT
Her Grace of Marlborough Ex-
poets to Spend a Portion of
Summer at Marble House.

Newport. r. l., May mo piece of
news has been more pleasing TO the So
cial colony here In long while than was
the announcement this week that the
Duchess of Marlborough was to spend
some time here during the summer.
That the announcement is authentic
there is no question for il came from the
mother OF the duchess, Mrs. o. II. p. Bel
mont, who has been here recently In
specting and making arrangements for
the opening of her summer home, Mar
bic House, which was closed last summer
while Mrs Belmont was abroad.
The duchess has not been here in at
least four years, and she will probably
find herself in the centre of whirl of
entertaining in her honor soon after her
arrival, for among the summer colonists
she has many friends. She is due to ar
rive some time in July. and is expected to
remain here for at least month or more
as the guest of Mrs. Belmont az Ma lie
House.
Like her mother. the duchess is more
or less interested in the woman suffrage
movement, and at least one address by
her is expected while she is in Newport.
This will be made at the dedication of a
new Chinese tea house which Mrs. Bel
mont has had erected on the cliff side
lawn OF her estate.
This is perhaps the oldest house here.
II is the reproduction of some native
Chinese house. and Mrs. Belmont will
have spent small fortune in its erection
and equipment when it is all completed.
While here she had a chance to inspect
the place and TO make arrangements for
its completion in time for the opening
OF her season, which will be probably
some time In June.
