Odd Sunday School Notions.
(UniversaliSt Leader.)

We are used to meeting the man who thinks Sunday schools are de- lightful places for perfectly good girls and young women and old maids, but it will undoubtedly be interesting to the big army of Sunday school men, women and children in Lackawanna county, which recently entertained the state Sunday school convention, to know that the modern Sunday school, in it's beginning, met with op- position even in the churches of the day-the latter part of the eighteenth century. Indeed, these two words, "opposition'' and indifference" mark the change in attitude on the part of many toward all institutions of re- ligion. Once it was positive opposi- tion; today it is passive indifference. It was easier to meet the positive op- position than it is to meet the pas sive indifference.
 The first pronounced enemies of the Sunday school were in the churches themselves. When Robert Raikes, in 17SO, gathered the street urchins of Gloucester into a Sabbath class, and paid four old women a shilling apiece to teach them reading, writing and religion, he was de- nounced as an enemy to the church and to the state The arch bishop of Canterbury called a meeting of the hierarchy to "devise ways and means to crush the dangerous enterprise" The leading English papers declared that Raike's plan was "subversive of that order, that industry. that peace and tranquility which constitute the happiness of society, and, far from deserving encouragement and ap- p1ause, it merits our contempt, and ought to be exploded as the vain, chimercal institution of a visionary projector.'
 A famous Scotch preacher insisted that the Sunday school would "de- stroy family religion and even John Wesley, in 17S4, wrote in his dubious vein: Perhaps God may have a deeper end thereto than men are aware of. Who knows but that some of these schools may become nurseries for Christians?" In our own coun- try the opposition was strenuous and bitter As late as 1920 a Connecticut pastor, discovering a small class hud- dled in the gallery, chased it's daring members out of the church with his cane. declaring that they were "imps of Satan, doing the devils work"

''SteWing in Their Own Juice" :"
Brooklyn Eagle.)

l The president of the United States has been as wise in that for which. he has waited. as in that which he has promoted or prevented. He awaited the graVitation of events within and among the political factions in Mex ico under the sardonic advice of a much older politician, concerning sit uations which so culminated, when MT. Wilson was schoolboy, as to let certain New York city democratic factions 'stew in their own juicc.' That we think, was what Dean
 Richmond advised William l.. Marcy
 to do. and what John Morrissey after
 ward advised Samuel J. Tiiden and
 John BigeloW to do in later political years.
 By pursuing that course, doubtless without knowing whence it originated
 President Wilson was able to let cer- tain factions in Mexico neutralize one another by mutual exhaustion. They are now "neutralizing'' one another in the Mexican way, but the United States is not engaged in their conflict.
 It is instructive to reflect how the catchcry of one generation converts under the pressure of changed and far-remote conditions into the apoth- egms of other times and of other countries Dean Richmond, Samuel J. Tilden, William l.. Marcy, John Morrissey Fernando Wood and other New Workers could never have fore seen the situation in Mexico which exists today, and in which at Vera Cruz our army and navy are mai.l- taining the peace and paramountcy of the United States.
 Nothing more swift and signal, nothing more necessary than the seizure of Vera Cruz has occurred in our American experience. Under Taylor and Scott and other old-time war chieftains and politicians, war between Mexico and this country oc- cured. But under Woodrow Wilson war has been averted from the United States and civilization without war has been vindicated by the United States not only at Vera Cruz, but along the entire length of Mexico so far as the relations between that mon- grel country and this republic are con- cerned.
 So whether Villa kills Carranza or Carranza Villa, is their business. Neither way is our loss. Either way is the vindicatio of the wisdom of the abstention of this administration from meddling or mixing in what tragically concerns Mexico, but only concerns ourselves.

Doctors cover up their clothes with long clean gowns and their hands with gloves, dip their instruments in a solution and think they have taken all proper precau- tion for themselves, their patients and society. But they forget their boards. which may catch and carry infection. Representative Sullivan of Dorchester has prepared a bill to be introduced in the Massachusetts legislature forbidding doctors and dentists from wearing moustaches and boards. under a penalty of $50. He says it will be a good deal better than disinfection. From it's record for crank legislation we should think the assachusetts legislature was very likely to pass it.

 We are reminded of the urban citi- zen who spent two weeks in a new bungalow on the borders Of q lake far from the crowded marts of trade. He donned an outing suit and hung the clothes ne took off in the closet of his bed chamber under the roof. There was a strong smell of creosote in the house, emanating from the so- lution with which the shingles had been treated He soon became ac- customed to the odor and never thought of 1t after the first day or two. On the way home at a junction where he had to change trains he spent the waiting time in getting shaved. He noticed that the barber sniffed once in a while as he worked over him, but he didn't think much of it. As he left the chair the bar Der said: Whats been the mat ter?" Nothing that I know of.

NO SKATING ON NEW PARK.

There will be no skating on the new park property in the north end of the city this winter, and the reason for 1t is that there is no dam to hold back the water and create a pond such as existed there for several sea- sons and from which ice has been cut. The basin covers several acres and at the south end the dam was located, but during long wet spell in the early part of the year it burst and As explained in another column of
 the Herald today, the park commits
 sioners were ready to spend $500
 which they had saved from their ap-
 propriation for Walnut Hill, but found
 that more money would be required,
 es 1t would be necessary to make the
 dam permanent on account of the
 state law, and, as the funds were not
 provided, there was nothing to do but
 to abandon the improvement This is
 h
 property affords splendid place for
 skating without any danger of
 drowning. Last year hundreds of people enjoyed the skating there and
 it was predicted that when the prop
 erty passed into the hands of the city
 that it would be used in the winter for. skating purposes, and now when the time has come for the sport it is discovered that the necessary prepa- rations have had to be abandoned be- cause of the lack. of a. few hundred
 dollars. It is too late to do anything now anyway, and presumably all that can be done is to grin and bear the disappointment, and resolve to see that the Improvements will be made next year. It looks as if it may be a long winter and a severe one. too, though splendidly adapted for such outdoor sport as skating. There are ether places where the sport can be indulged in, but it would be nicer to
 be able to enjoy it in our own yard.

 Brunswick barred to him, the duke repaired to Bohemia after his father S Geath. He was without funds, but through the efforts of his sister, then Princess of Wales, English funds found their way to him.
 All Germany was then under Ma poleon's foot. His armies had swept s.ll opposition. Prussia, Brunswick Bavaria, Saxony, all the states were mere vassals of France. Yet under reath fire of hatred burned, which the duke helped fan into the blaze that eventually sent Bonaparte to St. Helena.
 The Duke announced himself as Ma poleon's foe. Men flocked to his standard. He organized and equipped 2,OOO cavalrymen, and, in memory of his father, clothed them in black. A silver skull and crossbones adorned their Hussar headdress. and the silver lace slashings of the jackets were placed to resemble the ribs of a skeleton.
 'The Black Brunswickers,'' they were called. With the gallant duke at their head they began a guerrilla warfare that was continual worry to the French armies. Non Stein. Scharnhorst and others gave them secret encouragement,
