RELIGIOUS LIFE A MYSTERY
Rev. s. H. Howe, Q. D., Said There Is
 Nothing Mysterious About the Un-
 religious Life Nor the Unworthy Life

Religious Life Is a Mystery From Beginning to End, said Rev. Samuel H. Howe, D. D., in his sermon on The Mystery of Faith, at the Park Con- gregational church Sunday morning. Among some of the things he said were:
 The religious life itself is a great mystery while there is nothing mys- terious about the unreligious life. There is no mystery concerning the parable of the return of the prodigal son, no mystery about an unworthy make all the conveniences of life. Re ligious life is great mystery from the very beginning to the end. The new testament, the book Of mysteries IS simply crowded with mystery. There IS no particular mystery about any other religion, not anything remark able. Don't be deceived by literature there is scattered about.
 Take the works of art go among them; you find absolutely nothing dral; the voices like the angels; the building seems haunted in every cor ner with God. The world is full ot mystery. God breaks into life of the world for manifestation of His love great truth and wonderful truth.
 Jesus Christ lived a life here thai the world has been trying to find fault with and God looked down and said This is My beloved son with whom am we'll pleased
 No human soul has been able to say anything against Jesus Christ. Jesus had a perfect rule of his conscious and Justification in His spirit. It is the business of the church oi God to preach His word to all nations Often the question is asked concern ing the heathens. It is the duty oi the church of God to sound the trum- pet to all nations.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
 MEMS MASS MEETING.
Rev. Joseph n. Selden Was Speaker at Y. M. c. A. Service in Thayer Build. ina Store,

tn8 SkVf0s
 At the Y. M. c. A. mems meeting held in the Thayer building Sunday after noon Rev. Joseph H. Sekden was the speaker. He took his text from tine book of Acts, His address proved in- teresting as well as helpful. swahn's orchestra furnished music and Hugh Kinder sang several impressive eolos.
 Rev MT. Selden said: Men ha,bitualiy live on a lower level than they need to. They most need an awakening In their hearts. We are not what we ought to be. Something ought to shake us up and make us impatient as Peter made his listeners in his stern sermon on the day of Pentecost. The Btble is e stern book and discloses the follies of men. It speaks words men can un- derstand. It is immensely stern. Men, it is up to you to get behind the stern part of the Bible.
 Peter was ready with an answer on the day of Pentecost. He was then to tell them a better way, and 50 does the Bible show us the better way. What ideas must some men have who have been In the darkest hours of life; per- haps they think of Him as king and they His disloyal subjects who have broken His commandments. The Bible teaches US that God is not only the King but our Friend and Father.
 What can you say to man who has been untrue to himself and friends worthless and careless? To save him there is only one thing, and that is to put heart and courage into him with the word of the gospel. The Bible has a wonderful message.
 The sun covers all parts of the earth and go does God in every life. God is over all our lives. He Is watching over us. There are many doors to oul hearts which cannot be closed to God There are a thousand ways in which He is trying to get possession of oul hearts. God is all about us, with ar open heart as a father and friend. God has many ways of access to oul hearts and a special way througf Jesus Christ, his son.
 Rev MT. Selden told an incident oI a father trying to mend the ways ol his wayward son by doing anything tC save him as an illustration to bring ou the great sacrifice of God in giving hi. only begotten son to the world. The gospel of today is the same a, 1t ever was and Jesus Christ is jus as much at home in Norwich as he wal in Jerusalem. He is the same patient gentle and forgiving, and all we neet | do is to turn from our evil ways.
 The world each day is being changed | by the hand of God, being made nor, | perfect. We can all join in the righ direction with Jesus Christ if we ar | only honest and willing to change jus like a flower unfolding so would VI | expaud

PROTECTING THE BEAR.

Protective law in the interests of the bear appears to have contributed so greatly to bruins welfare as to make him a nuisance, and in some districts a menace to human life.
 At the Yellowstone National park the government protects all wild life. No firearms arc permitted in the park and the bears have multiplied so rap- idly under this paternal treatnsnt that they are now a danger to be reckoned with. Ordinarily disposed to be peaceable, there have been Are quent instances in which they have attacked tourists, and one instance in recent weeks in which human life was taken.
 Alaska newspaper are complaining of the increase of brown bears in that territory under protective law, while the black bear. which is con- paratively harmless is allowed to be shot on sight.
 The Valdez Miner says the brown bear Is az lovable as a locoed long horn, but not more so. It's first in- clination upon meeting a prospector or lone musher is to take him apart. This tendency being well known. the first impulse of a musher who meets a brown bear is to run, and his sec ond impulse is to run faster.
 1t is the Alaska idea that the brown bear needs no protection other than that he is able to furnish in his own behalf. There Is demand that pro- tective law be repealed and that a bounty be offered for his extermina- tion.
 Evidently federal game regulations need some revision. Protection 10 game is desirable. but when the game begins to charge and chase it's pro- tector 1t Is time to revise the sche1- ules.-P. L
