GOLF CONTAINS A SECRET
POWER MORE SUBTLE
THAN MEDICINE.

Doctors differ about many pre-
scriptions, but golf has secret
power which is more subtle in its
actions than any homeopathic or
allopathic medicines. After a
few dinner parties where there
is more than cold water served,
the average mortal can find lot
of things wrong with his head,
lungs, heart and digestion.
There is one man who believes
that there should be an entrance
gate to every golf course, and
that the following sign should be
posted:
"All ills abandon. ye who en-
ter here"
There was something else said
over a certain place by Dante,
but he with faith In his heart
will be confident that it was a
misquote.

been put down one jot. The law serves a dual purpose; first. it leads us from
 sin, and, secondly, it leads us to God. Still the law lacks something. Men
 who have been blinded by sin find righteousness hard and difficult To overcome this, God ,gave us a friend to reach out to us through the dark ness and grasp our hand and lead Us in the right path, and this friend is Christ. 1t is through the love of the Saviour who suffered as men suffer that we might be shown the true way that we come to understand the law and the gospel.
 Love is the greatest motive power above everything else that makes Us do good. Everything Is made better by love. Take marriage, for instance. What is 1t without love? The persons who marry without love live more miserable than in a prison. What is the home without this great power? What Is the school without love be- tween pupils and teachers? Patriotism is love of country. Men respond to the call of their fatherland not be- cause they are driven like the slaves of old but hecause they have love in their hearts for their country. What makes the mother go through fire and water for her children but that beau tifil elevating mother-love?
 When we try to contrast the law and the gospel we find that we cannot un- derstand one without the other and if we would be happy we should accept the gospel and understand the law and reach out for that hN hest goal eternal life.

Rev. Stanley Hughes of Newport Addressed Congregation at Trinity Episcopal Church Preacher Compares Law of God With the Gospel

The first of this years united Lenten
 services of Christ and Trinity Episco-
 pal churches was held in Trinity church Thursday evening. There was evening prayer, the address being de- lfvered by Rev. Stanley c. Hughes. rector of Trinity church, Newport, R. I. Rev. MT. Hughes took for his tonic The Law and the Gospel and said in part:
 The law of God and the gospel ID hand in hand: one cannot understand the law unless he believes the gospel The law and the gospel both come from the same source, God, for all peo- pie. They are spiritual, good and beautiful and are meant for all Rood purposes. The law of God should be written on the hearts of ali men and Is for the good of all men. The jaws of God are good. The gospel is just as good, and we never ufi1ersfand what the cross means unless we un- derstand the law. The eruss was not the beginning of the gospd Our Sa- vfour Jesus Christ only came to the cross by suffering. and we too must suffer before we will realize the ft1H of the cross. Unless we see every act of selhshness and sin and lmpurity in ourselves, we cannot un- derstand the laws Of God Take the ten commandments. They do not sulo- tract from our happiness, but in all ways promote 1t. God is mercfful and we think sometimes that we can es- cape the laws and the conseQuences if we disregard them. We think that the law is less strict than in the days of St. Paul and Moses, but they have not
