mittedly looms up as a problem of future
Importance According to the text of the
alliance, if Germany violates the agree
ment concerning Notifications, etc, in
any manner whatever, this constitutes "a
hostile act and at once raises the ques-

MORTIFIED, MASS.
The Late Miss Mary e. Pratt.

Many in Mortified will be grieved
to hear of the death recently of Miss
Mary E. Pratt at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. E. J. HUMPHREYS in Maiden
She had been i'll since April and death
followed a few days after an operation
at the Peter Bent Brigham hospital in
Boston.
For about Is years Miss Pratt had
been at t,.e head of the English depart
ment of the Winthrop high school and
was favorite leader in all school ac-
tivities. In 1891 she was engaged by
L. r. Smith, the chairman of the North
field school board, to organize the first
high school here, and she proved her eff
fcency as a teacher and organizer and
drew to the school nearly all the bows
and girls who would otherwise have at
tended Mt. Hermon and the seminary
Many of these pupils she retained all
her life as friends. In 1893 she accept
ed a position in Stockbridge and after
| few years went to Winthrop.
She was a native of Bath, Me-, and
| graduated from the normal school of
| that city, teaching there two years be-
| fore coming to Mortified. In all her
years of teaching she had studied at
| Radcliffe and later at Boston university,
| going each Saturday to her classes,
which were largely in different lines
| than those which she taught. She spent
the summer of 1914 when the war broke
out, in England and Scotland The
| following year. as she had done several
times before, she visited here as a guest
| of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Caldwell the
latter having been associated with her
as teacher. At the commencement at
the Winthrop high school last week a
memorial service was conducted by the
graduates and attended by a large
gathering of her former pupils and her
friends She leaves a brother, Alfred
Rogers, whose wife formerly was Miss

1t Is a time most suspicious for
love affairs, which under this rule
should lead to prosperity and happi-

nected with the navy are involved.
The sway is a lucky one for theat-
rical affairs. New productions are
subject to the best possible direction
of the stars and among them will be
two plays that will win lasting fame.
Venus foreshadows much sumptu-
ous entertaining, which will be but

There's a universal equality among
men, that we like to think and talk
about.
The great world-democracy has
meant much 30 the race.
But there's another universal
equality which isn't quite so 1atter-
ing.
It's found in the word of God.
Here it is:
For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God!"
Sin has been described as failing
short of the mark"
And this applies to all of us.
There is none righteous. no, not
one"
II you don't believe it. here's the
proof, taken from Gods word:
IF We say hat we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us"
We are self-deluded-blind to our
own sin.
The very best evidence that a man
is q sinner Is the assertion that he is
perfect"
OF course, sin doesn't always show
itself In the same way.
To get drunk. to raise a row, to
peat up your wife, to steal, to lie, to
l OOLAilAiAl EAAOSS Ol 0AAN LII why
| ways to sin-nor always the worst.
To the Snug and self-righteous, to
be coldly indifferent to the needs of
your neighbors, may be worse than
| getting drunk.
Some men are too stingy 10 get
| drunk.
They wouldn't have a speck of dir,
| on the vests for the world, but their
souls are smeared with filth and
muck.
And the respectable sinner will
have to take his place at the same
bar of Justice to which the drunkard
and the harlot will also have to come.
There Is no difference-"for ALL
have sinned"-and sin is sir
It's going to be humiliating for Mrs
Proudpurse and Mr.. Moneybags to

Let us think Of Kris H. Kringle, who will soon be SEIZED

atmosphere. Long our thoughts have been Of battling, and
of captains in their pride, and of blood and dry bones rafting
where some fellows crawled and died. We've been wont to
walk and mingle with the things opposed to mlrth; let us
walk with j. Kris Kringle, who is boosting peace on earth We
have been immersed in trouble, we have sloshed around IN

was despair. Every kind of ~tribulation that the grief works
could produce, has been dumped upon this nation, every evil
has been loose. But the Chistmastime is coming, when our
sorrows find release, and K. Kringle's harp is humming with
the melodies o. peace. l am glad to greet the season when
Dad Kringle comes to town, when there isn't rhyme or reason
