AT THE TOPIC TONIGHT.

The guests who had gathered at
the MacLaren home to otter their
congratulations to Nh MacLaren up
on his promotion to ieutenancy,
were apparently so much interested
in his welfare that they failed to
partake generously of the refresh
ments provided Or, were the tenn
perate tendencies of the host respon-
sihle for the lack of attention to the
refreshments which Mrs. MacLaren
had so lavishly supplied? But, as
they say, someone smelled a rat,
and out of this episode develops one
of the most unexpected climaXes that
has ever been portrayed upon the
screen. Those who view Mary Mac
Laren in 'Secret Marriage" at the
Topis theatre will see vividlv por-
trayed a climax which comes as the
crisis in the life of MacLaren's daugh-
ter, and brought about by the above
occurrence, which would have been
humorous were it not for the seri-
BUSINESS of the consequence.

COMING TO THE PALACE.

Minstrels are net all alike. To be
atle to demonstrate that this is a
fact, the public is urged to attend
Harvey's Greater Minstrels when they
appear at the Palace theatre, We'd
nesday, April 16 TIE management
of this famous colored organization
emphasizes the unusual quality of its
wal dl ODE, both that worn in its pa
rade and in the performance. The
women perhaps will be the best
judges of this wardrobe and will ap-
p1eciate both the value Cf the ma
terial used and the skill Of the de-
signing and work. Never was a col
ored minstrel show dressed as are
the Harveys' Great Minstrels. but for
it to be any different would be not
to be in line with the high class en-
teltainment offered. There are a
couple of meritorius white minstrels,
hut their success depends largely up
on their ability to initiate the col
cred race. Therefore the manage
ment of Harvey's Greater Minstrels
conceived the idea of assembling for
ty rallv CLASSY natural and capable
performers of that race. and con-
seurently an unusual minstrel organi
zation is the result.

WHY DR. M'LAUGHLIN
 ASKED ABOUT L'HEUREUX

Dr. J. Harry Mclaughlin of Jewett City, in a statement made to The Bull letin, explains how he came to write to Senator Frank E. Brandegee ask ing him to inquire of the war depart ment the military status of Alfred J. LHeureux. Dr. Mclaughlin said his attention was called to the following g article which appeared in the Jewctt City Press, May %, 1919:
 Alfred J. L'IIeureux, who within the past month was promoted to a lieutenant colonel in the army, has now risen to the rank of a full colonel according to a letter received from him on Wednesday by his mother, Mrs. Victor LHeureux, and it is re- ported that he has just safely arrived from France.
 Mfr. L'Heureaux is undoubtedly the youngest man in the U. $. army to attain so high a position, and it is safe to say that no man has risen in the ranks faster than he After being student at Plattsburgh, he entered the army a second lieutenant about a year ago, and his promotion has been steady ever since. He is expect ed to arrive home any time"
 An argument as to the accuracy of the article followed and to settle the dispute pr. Mclaughlin wrote Senator Brandegee who replied that the war department had informed him that AL fred J. L'HeureuN was a major.

CHURCH GOING OBLIGATION
 BINDING IN VACATION

In announcing the summer schedule of three low masses every Sunday morning until September the rector of St. patriet's church, Rev. John SIL Frederick, spoke incidentally of the vacation season. at the 1.30 mass on Sunday. Tho congregation was re- minded that the obligation of attend ing mass every Sunday is just as binding during the summer sea son as at any other time of the year. It is so arranged that parishioners of St. Patrick who feel that they must have q Sunday outing have ample time to the T.30 mass. yet to take the s.45 car. All were advised to so reg ulate their summer plans and past times that the result may prove as conducive to their spiritual as phy- sical safety.
 Rev. Father Broderick preached from the gospel for the Sunday, which was the fourth after Fentecost, Luke Y.

CONTINUES SERIES ON CHARACTER OF CHRIST

Sixteen new members have been re- ceived into the Central Baptist church since May 1st. Ten were received by baptism, five by letter and one by ex- perienee. The Great Ieartedness of Jesus was the topic of the sermon de- livefed Sunday night by the pastor, Rev. Arthur r. Purkiss. This was the sixth in tho series of sermons on the character of Jesus.
 Great-heartedness is one Of the dearest terms one can use about an other. said Rev. Mir. Purkiss. Jesus was spetless. The white light of twenty centuries has been beating down on His character and no single flaw has yet been found in Him. Race prejudice-some will say this is a new thing; but Jesus had race prejudice to contend with in His day. Jesus had no race prejudice. Another possible prejudice is that which comes from sin. If you go into a small country town you will find a strong line be- tween the church folks and the world folks.
 Jesus has the right to the claim of being big hearted. There is reason for His big heaftedncss. Jesus saw farther into the hunaan life than we see. Jesus knew the possibilities of men. Jesus was able to comprehend the possibilities of the individual soul
 You have no right to held suite against anyone. The only <. one your spite hurts is yourself. You and I haven't very much license to hold for giveness from anyone. You and. haven't any power to hold forgiveness from anyone mad then ask forgiveness from God for ourselves.
