World Is Fairly Lov- ing, but Needs Wis dom MargOt As quith Prefers New York Air-ShoOting at COllins-OratOriO Mark of Municipal Superiority.


 says that the divorce and remarriage of United States Senator Hollis is a ''sha ameless disregard of sacred things" From this point the good bishop considers the state of the world, which he declares Is suffering from lack of faith in God. A little, perhaps, because bishops speak more of faith than they do of intelligence. Deity Is both love and wisdom. The completest faith does not prevent a good man from getting in front of a locomotive, nor from fighting in war.

 Much evil of the world traces to ignorance. an ignorance which would be 1essened if bishops would oftener teach that God is wisdom. There is, love enough in the world to end wars. but not intelligence enough. Strikes do not occur because men hate each other. so much as because they do not know how to settle their disputes in a better way. Unemployment does not exist because affection is diuin- ished. The managers of industry do mot know how to make it function. After, praying--for faith and love, let us pray for wisdom. All three are necessary.

 New York police are ordered to sleep on their arms. Vacations are out Yeggs work overtime. A gang cracked safes on seven floors of an insurance building and took $1o0,- 900. Crime grows in hard times. It has an economic basis. Hungry men are desperate men. The best police force is work. Good times, plenty of work. and policemen can take their vacations and sleep on pillows, like other people.

 Margot Asquith, who f1as a. profile like that of the great Dante, is en- thusiastic over the bright, clear, sparkling blue skies of New York. She is more familiar with London where they burn soft coal, have black foss in which people get lost. and al most never g. day which is bright, In the sense that New England has bright days. Tn the English summer resorts they advertise the number of days the sun shines. Some of them. the number of hours. Climate inf1u- ences character More sunshine in one land, more fog in the other, in time win make certain profound in telIectua1 differences between Eng Ishmen and Americans who live in New England

 Rev. Christian F. Reisuer of Chel- sea Methodist Episcopal church says that Conan Doyle is cheeky to think he knows the future. This is strange language from a minister, who should know that faith and the eye of the mind always have built visions of heaven. This is the foundation of religious thought. Faith is of necessity dogmatic, A scientist might properly rebuke Conan Doyle for jumping ahead of the evidence. Strange things occur fin the border land of the mind. It may or may not be possible to communicates with the dead. The scientific mind Is an open mind Science accumulates evidence, but declares no law or rule of things until the evidence is com plete. and every other hypothesis is closed.

 The mental development of a city Is exhibited in the things it does. The more developed the mind, the higher fhe interests the nind has. An ora- torto society does not come to a city untn it has reached a certain intellec- sual growth The degree of support <ience of the mental condition of the population. The collective mind is inc totality of tho wisdom and knowl- edge of all the people. Oratorio Is supported by those most learned and loving in music. The real music lovers Of Bridgeport will be found at the 0ratorio society tomorrow night, the pick of them actually singing In the chorus.

 The plot thickens in Ireland. They shoot at Collins, one of their greatest leaders Griffith speaks in the midst of troops. surrounded by armored cars. It was ever thus. Stability be- sng impaired minds differ. and the natural settlement Of differences is by force. This will so on until human 3ty is intelligent enough to rule vio- fence out of the world. Even when vars are over and men settle their differences by reason. sub-normal men. who show low on the Simon Binet test will doubtless continue to shoot each other, like the Bridgeport person, who recently avenged a SUD- posed insult with a gun fire.
