Last sermon on Easter
MOrnin9.

The first Boston minister to go to the
bloodstained fields of France is the Rev.
Ernest Graham Guthrie, a former pastor
of the First Church Of this city, but
who more recently has been the pastor
OF the Union Church of Boston. For
weeks Mr.. Guthrie has been fitting him.
self to run a motor ambulance in order
that he might join the American anfbul-
ance corps in France. and on April II, he
left Boston for New York, from where
he was to sail for the foreign soil where
he would begin the work to which he
had consecrated himself. His final SER
mon in the Union Church was preached
on Easter Sunday Mr. Guthrie expects
to remain in France for six months.
The Congregationalist and Christian
World in IA recent issue says: "a young
preacher in his black robe standing amid
the wilderness of castor lilies, face and
eyes radiant with light that never was
on sea or land, vast congregations
thrilled by his impassioned eloquence,
strains of glorious music from a large
vested choir behind him and two others
at his right and left in opposite galleries
such are the high lights in picture
which many will carry in their memory
of Easter Sunday at Union Church. Bos-
ton
The article further states that ever
since Mr. Guthrie announced his deter
mination TIC go to France. a new spirit
was felt in the church and that its mem
bership was augmented since January
by 80 members. mostly young people
There was at first some doubt concerning
the wisdom Of his surrendering his
difficult work in Boston, but this senti.
ment changed into a sense of honor that
the church was privileged to send the
first Boston minister to France. Over
500 was contributed by friends for use II
relief work, and one of them commits

French orphan. not more than four years

Mr.. Eaton, the assistant pastor of the
Union Church, left on the day following
Mr.. Guthries departure from Boston, fo
Hornell. \. Y..owhere he was to take VI
new field of service. The Camp Fire
Girls of the church held concert on tn,
evening Of Mr. Guthrie's last day, whei
final farewels were said. The musica
exercises were interspersed with the read

HARD COAL GOES UP AGAIN
Raise of SOC q Ton, or 75c for
Lehigh, Made Lately.
Usual 21c Reduction was Not Made on
April I and II Not Expected dur.
Ing May.August-Ffeight Rates
More, Too.

Practically all sizes and grades of
hard coal have been advanced fifty
cents a ton. The increase was made
lately by local retailers, following sim
liar action by the mine operators and
advances in freight rates. Besides
this, and contrary to custom Of many
years standing. no reduction of rs
cents a ton was made on April 1, as in
other years, and It is not likely that a
reduction will be made this spring and
summer.
The recent increase brings the price
OF stove and chestnut coal to $500 4
ton cash or 1925 otherwise; egg, $S.75
pea, 1915. Pea may be discounted, for
1t Is almost unobtainAble. Lehigh
coal is costing 75 cents a ton more
than II did, regardless of size.
There Is no fixed price for soft coal.
During this month It has sold as high
as $3.50 and as low as $500. Usually
1t has huctuatcd between that maxi
mum and minimum. Buyers have been
able to get It at the low rate. however.
only on contracts made some time pre-
viously Soft coal is a little easier
now. but there is none to spare, and
what is coming in amounts to only
Rough for immediate needs. Laun
dries ana other businesses have been
obliged for weeks at time to use
hard instead of soft coal.
Coal men here are pessimistic. as us
ual, over the hard coal situation, and
have little doubt that the hard coal
workers will obtain the increase they
have asked for, just as the soft coal
workers did. regardless of what the
existing contracts may be. Union la
| Dor in the Pennsylvania coal fields has
| frequently overridden its express agree
ments with employers. they say
FREIGH~ RATES UP. TOO.
| Besides the labor question. which
| has now become even more acute thar
1t was when the exodus of foreign la

rate question. Twenty-Five cents wa!
| added to the water rate lately. ant
| will prevail as soon as lake traffic II
| resumed in earnest. An added ffteei

The demand for hard coal has no
lessened to the same extent as in othe
years. for large retail buyers are seek
ing their supply of coal for next yea
and following preparedness policy
Wholesalers still have difficulty in OBJ
tanning enough coal for their own reg
ular customers.
1t Is not thought proba BILE. therefore
that the usual drop of Is cents on tn
