A few years ago the question reIa- tive to widening Bridgeport avenue from the corner west to the bridge came up for discussion at the Devon
 Improvement association. and a com mittee was appointed to take the mat ter up with the proper authorities. but the committee apparently could not agree, for after taking the mat ter up with the property owners on the south side of the avenue for the purpose of having them turn over a portion of their land so as to make a 6O-foOt thOrouEhfare, some of the members decided that the street should be 75 feet wide and the con sequence was that the matter was dropped. At the meeting of the assc- citation last evening the question was again brought up ana a committee. comprising AIessrs. Sullivan. FIadu and kenney. was appointed to work on the proposition of a GO foot road. This avenue, which leads into the town. should. ii is claimed be much wider than fl is. and it is believed that this committee will profit by the errors made by the previous one.

cepts. All that is accepted is passed
on to the soul. A constant accepting
of beautiful thoughts and ideals makes
the soul in time q, very wonderful
thing.
Music Is the true religion, the ideal
voice Of God. Very, very often there
are souls only to be reached through
this form of religion. Music can speak
much that the human tongue can
never learn. Very often one wonders
why church. does not draw the con-
'gregations 1t should and when the mu-
steal problem Of the particular church
has been solved, there Is no longer
difficulty Of this sort. The music which
comes merely from voices trained and
beyond expression does not compel.

gregation with real leader to start
the inspiration. One does not always
want to listen. There is that within
US which says" Let me sing too. Let
me say what can't say in words, in
song. I'm not trained singer, but
nevertheless want to sing" The
heart Of a great people can be heard
at such times and one comes near to
the biggest worship which we know
anything about.
So intensely more human are we
growing day by day that only few
individuals can be reached entirely
through the spirit. There must come
first the appeal to the senses. In
comfortable church which pleases the
eye-with warmth and pleasant words
and the fascinating art Of entertain
ing the mind, much in evidence, one
gradually feels a spiritual charm. Very
few people know where the superfi-
cial thinking part Of us and the deep
Ter feeling part Of us begin and ends.
The two work constantly together.
And 1t must not be forgotten that there
are thousands Of intricate personali-
/ ties in the world. all to be reached

sion. What now a petty slight!
The great scene Of the battle be-
tween the two inspires the poet
to all his noblest power. They
ight: Achilles pursues Hector thrice
around the walls of Troy; Zeus
weighs in golden scales the fates
of the two: Hector is doomed to
die; inexorable destiny may not be
stayed. Achilles slays Hector and
every heart but that of the victor
is wrung with the pity of It all.
And in the end, even Achilles
heart is moved. For old King
Priam can neither sleep nor eat
while his sons body lies dead in
the camp OF the foe. Against the
will of all that was dearest to him
he gathered great store of ransom
and made his way by night under
the kindly guidance of the gods to
Achilles tent and sought for the
body of his dear son. 1t is a scene
of love and pity, of chivalry and
greatness of heart that all the
years since then have never seen
surpassed. "Be not angry with me.
Patroclus." prayed Achilles. "if thou
shalt learn in Hades' house that I
have given back noble Hector to
his dear father" And Patroclus,
one may be sure. shared the pity of
all brave men and all true women
ever since.

his flocks upon Mount Ida. The

To fulfill her promise Aphrodite
leads him to King Menelaus' court
