TO REDUCE CHURCH DEBT.

Members of the Newield Methodist church, Stratford and Newf1eld ave- nues, are elated over the prospect of reducing the mortgage by more than $1,600 within a short time. Mort gage Sunday was observed yesterday with roll call of the members and despite the indictment weather more than three quarters of the members responded. Some time ago one mem Der of the church pledged $400 pro- vided $1,O00 would be given by other members. Already $1,000 has been promised and even more is expected. The mortgage debt is $5,400 and the members of the church expect to re- duce it to less than $4,00O. A special service will be held in short time to celebrate the reduction of the debt

"commencing with the posture of my little finger on my left hand is the result of mental study. I have studied sculpture, painting, music, poetry. tragedy, and have taken as my special province the works of Michael Angelo and De Vinci, which portray strength and grace at the same time.
 "If you look at sculpture by Mich ael Angelo and De Vinci, you can al- most see the movements which a dancer should perform in order to portray force and beauty. You can see the strength and the grace. This has to be mentally disgested, and then again from my brain it is transferred into my own body and thrown across the footlights to the public.
 "In the same way that an actor portrays role and studies certain movements incidental to certain phrasing, the dancer must study all of his movements beforehand, but in a much more detailed form, because having no words to utter and having only movement with which to portray all the emotions, these movements have to be worked out in more detail and at the same time along broad enough lines for the audience to un- derstand. He is like a great con- ductor such as Toscanini, when he conducts an opera like "Thistram and Isolde" which embraces all the emo- tions human beings experience, worked out in a great detail and at the same time co-ordinated into great lines.
 All these details I have to write in my memory, and I claim not .su- preme memory for music, but terpischorean memory. I inscribe these details of gestures, poses, move ments and general lines on my men, tai consciousness in the same way that a composer would write down the individual notes of any of his compositions" sc

JUST A BOY.
To thee God has granted A heart ever new To all, always open To all, always true"

When I hear of small boy wh~ 1s g. perfect gentleman I am more apt to pity than admire him. Judging all lads by those of the neighborhood, whose pranks I watch with secret amusement, I am led to believe there's something wrong in the makeup of the little boy who would rather sit Ill the house reading stories of impossible good children than to go out-of-doors and romp, whoop and play with hls comrades-which is boy nature.
 From the time he sheds his baby petticoats and gets into knickerbock- CTS, the rough side of boy life begins to assert itself. He has actually to fight every inch of his way with other boys to retain his marbles, ball or kite and take his own part among them.
 Even very small boys are not wont to unbosom their little troubles to the family. They learn to keep their own counsel at an early age. If he comes home from school cross no one thinks to find out what caused it and show sympathy for him because of the bat tie thae was forced upon him. He hides his bruises as he does his heart aches.
 Even in. their own homes the rights of small boys are not always respect ed. They have right t9 more polite ness than falls to their lot Neither his parents, risters or brothers think of thanking him if he performs a slight service for them. They seem to thing he is obliged to be at their beck and call whether it inconveniences him or not. If a boy chases a man't hat on a windy day for blocks. return ing it to it's owner quite out of breath, is he, always thanked graciously for his act of kindness? Not once in dozen dimes. No wonder he resolves at last to let the fat old men chase af- ter their own hats and enjoys a laugh when they come back winded, puffing and panting. If boy gives a woman his seat in a crowded car, does he re- ceive polite thank you" for being courteous? Where one woman ac- knowledges his courtesy, a score will flop into the vacated seat without bothering to show politeness, because he's only boy. Praise to a boy who has done a gracious act is as sweet as It is to man. He is actually yearn- Ing for a smile or a word of apprecia- tlon. If he does not receive it at home he rarely expects it from the outside world.
 Rearing a boy appears to be much graver matter than most people real lze.' If he has too much betting, he will do his best to ride rough-shod over the rest of the family, become ar- rogant and unbearable. If apprecia- tion and tender words are denied him. who is to blame if in early manhood he falls a victim to the wiles Of the sirens who cajole and fatter a youtho Honeyed words are sweet to masculine ears of all ages Thank the little boy cordially for every service he renders you. Let him think that his views and opinions can be listened to at home if nowhere else.
 If he takes his own part in an en- counter forced upon him, show your sympathy and express the earnest wish that it may not happen again, but do

 Nuthing doing, that wood be ob- taining things under falts pertenses, you can get put in jale for that, sed Sid Hunt, wat do you say we get a rope and tie a moose on one end and put it down the hole and try to lasso the ball.

PEACE AT ANY PRICE''

The first Americans of importance to advocate "peace at any price" and to condemn even defensive warfare were probably Sarah Moore Grimke and her bother, Thomas Smith
 Grimke. The former was born in Charleston, s. C., just a century and a quarter ago today, Nov. 6, 1791. She and her sister, Angelina, liberated their slaves and removed to Philadel- phia, joining the anti-slavery. societies and becoming affiliated with the Quakers. In addition to her peace and abolition propaganda, she pub 1ished several volumes on womans rights. The Grimkes were descended from a French Hugenot family. Thom- as, brother of Sarah Grimke, became a distinguished lawyer in Charleston, but was more widely known on ac-, count of his addresses on peace and religion. He held that even defensive warfare is wicked, and when asked what he would do if he were in com mand at Charleston and that city was attacked by pirates, he replied that he would marshal the Sunday school children and lead them in procession to meet the Buccaneers, who would be so affected by the sight that they would immediately abandon all their bloodthirsty intentions. Happily he was not called upon to put this doc- Urine of non-resistance to the test.

Now I think more of him than I do, of the other. Strange I am inn pressed he lacks shallowness. How am I to settle the love quest please ?"
