PARK STREET CHURCH.

At Park Street Congregational church the coming Sunday interest will be centered on two of the great issues of the times.
 In the morning Dr. Beard will speak of the national movement toward church unity and the great impetus given to 1t by the experiences of the war, and of the enterprise re- gently launched in our own city look ing toward the federation of the churches.
 The music of the morning will in- clude Thompson's anthem, What of the Night?" and the quartet number, Lord of Light" by Galbraith.
 No less trenmenGQus in its signif1- canoe, but touching social welfare on another side, is the amazing vote throughout the country to force the liquor saloon to unconditional sur render. This will be the theme of the address Sunday evening. Emphasized by the war of the nations. This war of the saloon began long before that, and wll last long after 1t. It becomes at this time matter of much public concern that the people determine the thorough finish of the saloon and those adjust ments of social conditions which must attend 1t in order to be thoroughly successful.

 been secured for two concerts, In re-
 sponse to several requests that they
 be put on the Chautauqua platform
 for a second time. Another notable
 musical evening of an entirely differ
 ent sort will also be one of the an
 nouncements soon to be made. Among the afternoon engagements there will
 be a fascinating entertainment by James B. Thrasher, an unsurpassed reader of French-Canadian dialect

INVESTMENTS IN DEMOCRACY

The pictures have been received for the sermon on Investments in democracy at the First Methodist church tomorrow night. The unfor- tunate fact that the sermon had to be postponed last Sunday evening because of the failure to receive the pictures has only increased the inter- est in the subject and will probably result in larger attendance tomor- row evening.
 In the morning the pastor G. M Brown will speak on the subject of Personal Possessions and will endea- vor to draw line between possession and ownership.
 This evening program full of pleasure and profit will be given by the Mems Assembly in their Motion Picture Community Service. There will be pictures of wild animal life, splendid travel film of a trip through the New Zealand Islands some scenic films of scenes in the United States, some interesting pie lures of manufacturing and a comedy film that will be full of laugh and wholesome fun. The entertainment will last about an hour and a half and will give something enjoyable and worth while. Admission free. A sil- yer collection is asked to help defray the expense for film rental.

THE FEASTS 1 OF OLD ROME

In the calendar of ancient Rome the fifteenth of February was the Feast of Pacihcation, when the worshippers of the pagan gods indulged in rites and ceremonies of expiation. The pagan observance, although brief in duration, was in some of its aspects similar in purpose to the modern 1 Christian Lenten season. As Lent is preceded by the frivolities of Mardi l Gras, so did the old Romans prepare for their Cleansing" by final fling of hilarity.
 The Roman Februa was the most respectable of the feasts of the an cient Romans. The love of the pres ent-day Italian for frequent religious
 observances, saints days and festi- vals, may be heritage from those distant ancestors who worshipped the | innumerable deities of their poly theistic faith. These rites and feasts were, says Gibbon, Closely inter woven with every circumstance of | business and pleasure, of public or of private life; and it seemed impossible to escape the observance of them without at the same time repouncing the commerce of mankind and all the offices of amusement and society"
 To avoid participation in these various festivities, without thereby in curing popular or official displeasure and its accompanying punishments, was one of the chief concerns of the early Christians of Rome. There came a time, however. when the shoe was on the other foot, and the triumph ant Christians attached severe penal ties to the observance of the old feasts. The festival of purification be- came the Christian Lenten season, the spring celebration of the pagans be- came the Easter of the Christians, and the December Saturnalia was superseded by Christmas.
 It was in the rural districts of the empire that the pagan rites were longest maintained. Under the laws of Theodosius the performance of any of the rites of the old religion was punished by forfeiture of house or estate, or by the imposition of heavy fines. In the defense of the "old time religion" the adherents of polytheism displayed little determination, but. says Gibbon, they desisted with a
 plaintive murmur the use of those sacred rites which their sovereign l had condemned. If they sometimes were tempted by a sally of passion or l by hopes of concealment to indulge their fayOrite slDerStitiOn their hum

ble repentance disarmed the severity of the Christian magistrate, and they seldom refused to atone for their rash ness by submitting, with some secret reluctance, to the yoke of the Gospel. The churches were filled with the in creasing multitude of these unworthy proselytes, who had conformed, from temporal motives, to the reigning re- ligion; and whilst they devoutly imitated the pastures and recited the prayers of the faithful, they satisfied their conscience by the silent and sim cere invocation of the gods of anti quity"
