Were taken out and hung.

Willimantic Camp Ground

The fifth morning of the camp meet ing dawned cool and comfortable In fact, the weather has been ideal all the week. Neither heat nor dust have been a bane to the campers. The usual number gathered in the taber- nacle for morning worship at S15. MT. Scrivener led the singing.
 Rev c. H. Van Natter of Warehouse Point was the leader of the meeting and read from the 12th chapter of Acts. His theme was The Results of Prayer. Tennyson says: More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of" Prayer makes us con- scious of Gods presence and individual care. If we pray God can do things for us which otherwise He could not.
 He can make impossible things possi- ble, as the lesson showed. Prayer al- ways brings victory and power, greater than all earthly power, which will eventually issue ir tte power of res
 urrection from ihe dead.
 Rev. Mir. Scrivener announced that Rev. Otis Fl. Moore had failed to ap- pear and consequently the first period of study, the subject of which was to
 have been Builders of New Pro-
 gram, would be omitted. From $40 to 10.50 Miss Halford conducted her

Der of telling illustrations of how Christ may be very near in what we call conscience.
 The benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. Francis Cooper, D. D., of Providence.
 The afternoon Bible reading was held al o'clock instead of 2.30 yester- day. as Bishop Hughes was not to come till later than expected, and Bro Moores Bible reading was to precede the bishops address. The customary praise service was held, led by Dis trict Superintendent Scrivener, who has proved himself a most excellent leader of the singing all the week He has also brought out the virtues of the Methodist hymnal, as this has been the very excellent song book of the meetina this season. The campers also feel grateful to Bro. Scrivener 1 for discovering so brilliant an eX- positor of Gods word as Rev. R. S. Moore, who last year and this has given such brilliant and inspiring Bible readings, which have been blessed to many.
 The subject of Bro. Moore's fifth | Bible reading was The Strength of Love, and was based on Romans 8: I 32-39 MT. Scrivener read this selec- 1 ton, and Rev John Thompson of i Griswold then made the prayer. Ro- mans has been exasperatingly treated differently by commentators. Neither CSalS3nist nor Armenian may be
 wholly right. This epistle has been a | sort of theological no mans land
 which no man has fully captured. But when Paul puts up the great arched roof of Christs character, all believers
 come under that one paternal rooftree
 He that spared not his own Son, but freely gave him up for us all how shall he not with him freely give us
 all things? If God gave the Greatest
 he will not hold back that which is
 less. What shall separate us from
 either Christs love to us or our love
 to Christ? It is a mark of Gods ap- proval to trust us with tribulation and
 trial. He's our best friend, and if you
 do not cultivate your friendships vol lose your friends whether men ol God. No separation-this is our com. , fort and our joy.

The federal suffrage amend
ment won in the house by the
exact number of votes required
and will now go to the senate.
While the friends of the amend
ment may rejoice over the VIC
tory, the margin was too narrow
for comfort. The presidents in
dorsement failed to bring the
strength anticipated and the OPP
ponents Of suffrage will be en-
couraged to make stiff fight in
the senate. The suffragists must
redouble their efforts. The SEN
ate has long been regarded as a
cavern of conservatism. 1t is
there that the fight must be won.
The vote yesterday showed that
iO2 Democrats voted against the
bill and it will probably be found
that most Of these were from the
reactionary states of the south.

Against Vaccination,

Editor MlSSoullan.
| was sorry to see In The Muscular
n rather strong endorsement Of com
pulsory vaccination. My study of this
matter leads me to believe that the
whole principle of vaccination is wrong
and am very strongly opposed to in
flicting 1t by law on those who do not
want to introduce what they regard as
poison and degenerating matter into
the blood. l have been a reader of
The Muscular for seven years and
have supported its honest and indie
pendent policy. You have good paper
and / realize Its widespread influence.
Your responsibility to the public is n
great one and l would appreciate it
very much If you can find time 10
consult the Chicago characterization
league or other authorities able to
present statistics and facts which be-
lieve would lead you to set your in
flnence against compulsory vaccina-
ton, although you may not ever agree
with me that vaccination in itself is
doing a great deal more harm than
smallpox, that smallpox is disease OF
filth and is decreasing as better sani-
tation becomes more general. l will
not try to write out an argument and
need not answer my letter but hope
for your conversion to a larger view
as to the desirability OF forcing vacci-
nation as n preventive of smallpox, ty-
phoid fever, diphtheria, etc.

We do not think that Secretary
Bakers explanation of the delay
in the equipment Of machine guns
is satisfactory. In his examine
ton yesterday, he tells us that his
department held back its decision
until experiments with the
Browning gun were completed
and adds that the superiority OF
this weapon was well worth
waiting for. That, however, is a
disputed point. The Lewis gun
is so good that il is used
by the British and French
armies, while 1900 are in the
service Of our navy. In the race
against time, it seems to us that
the Lewis gun, which could have
been adequately furnished
months ago should have been
chosen, especially since excellent
authorities agree, that it is quite
rs good as the Browning. In a
hurry up fight, it is sometimes
important TO grab The first
weapon in sight.
