 Of the eight "Beatitudes" the prologue, first, second, third, and seventh were given.
 "A Tale of Old Japan"
 In the Alfred Noyes-Coleridg Taylor work, 'A Tale of Old Japan" |" the soloists were Madame Louise Homer Stires, with Madame Alcock, MT. Hamhn and MT. MacGregor, Madame Stires was, like MT. Payne, given an ovation by the audience and the chorus for both her mother, Louise Homer and her father, the composer, Sidney Homer, have been long friends of Litchfield County, but Madame Stires, who was making her first appearance in cantata, well deserved the ovationon her own merits. She has very clear and sweet soprano and, like her mother, sings absolutely flawlessly.
 "A Tale of Old Japan" is prob ably called cantata for want of better name. It is really a balld with unbroken narrative, >f for the most part in four-foot measure and some what reminiscent of "Hiawatha" but is rhymed, in varying schemes. Vocally it could almost be said to be built on a single continuing melody, the continuing melody becoming, in places, separate songs, as in the beautiful "Peonies, peonies, thronged the May" The really wonderful part of it is however the vivid descrip- tive qualities of it's orchestration. The background of waves and forest can be literally seen in the instru- mental work without ever being what is commonly called pragrammatic.

LABOR DISPUTES HOLDING
 BUSINESS BACK-BABSON
Continued from page D

Continued from page D tremendous changes within a short period of time. In fact the change is so great Ga decline of about 50@o) that it would not be surprising if money rates now strengthened for a short while preparatory to, another downward movement.
 Money is commodity the same as cotton, wool, lumber, or copper. It has wholesale market and a re- tail market. A wholesale price and a retail price. Moreover, as with commodities, the. retail price ip the money market lags, about six months to year, behind the wholesale price of the money market. This means that the rates in the wholesale money market go up and down from six months to a year before the average business man and home builder is affected. It takes nearly a year for cotton to get from the plantation to the shelves of the department store. Hence, it may be several months be- fore the retail cotton goods trade gets the advantage of a decline in the price of raw cotton. It is the same with money as with cotton. It is some months after the decline in the wholesale price of money before the business man and the home bull der get the advantage in the decline of rates. The bankers are not to blame for this. It is economic law. AS it takes so me time for the bankers to raise the retail interest rate for money after the wholesale rate ad- vances, so it takes a considerable time for the retail rate to decline after the wholesale rate declines"
 Being asked how this is to affect the average man during the next yNt MT. Babson replied as follows:
 "This means that the average man will be. able to borrow money much cheaper during the next few years than he has been able to borrow dur ing the past five years. It means that borrowers should now avoid borrow ing for long terms at high prices. It means that there will be a decline in the retail price of money the same as there has been a decline in the wholesale price of money.
 It means that money will be more available for the building of homo, school-houses, roads and constructi n work of every form. Most of all it means: As the banks during the past few years have educated the public to high rates, the public must during the next few years educate themselves back again to the lower rates of some few years ago."
 General Business as reflected in. the Babsonchart is running. l5cS below normal-an increase of 1 Io over last week. It is holding well in face of the bearish factors resulting from the railroad ruling.

PINE BLISTER RUST

The men from the State Agricul- tural College who. have been in this section looking for pine blister rust, state that there is considerable of this disease hereabouts. It is con- fined mostly to the young trees, which it is rapidly killing, resulting in the loss of great many valuable tracts.
 There is only one manner in which the disease can be controlled and that is to destroy all wild and culti- vated currant and gooseberry bushes located anywhere near pine trees. The disease cannot spread from one tree to another, but must come direct from these bushes. The wind carries the spores to the trees, which once infected cannot be controlled.
 Every owner of land on which pine grows should make an examina- tion for wild currant or gooseberry bushes and destroy all within 900 feet of the pine. It is the only hope of saving our pine forests from. a fate similar to the chestnut blight.

GoINGTo CHURCH

Benjamin Franklin once remarked that Eff some people will do such things with religion, what would they do without it?" Therein lies food for thought Furthermore it renders null and void that ancient reason which many ascribed their non-attendance to, viz: So-and-so is a hypocrite, a crook and merely uses the church as cloak for his iniquities. Maybe he is; but according to the philosophy of Ben. Franklin, thank God he has little religion or he might be far worse!
 It has occurred to us that the church is just. the place, for sinners, great and small, yet if a stranger attended services here with that theory, he would be led to think that the greater number of our people had attained that state Of perfection where church-going was ro longer necessary. Otherwise heFnnight justly assume that the population of the town was about five hundred d-unless he walked up Main street and some of the side streets, where several hundred young people in various groups whiled away the evenings or attended a ball game. 'sis
 How discouragfng 1t must be, to the pastor of any church to work several days preparing a sermon and then preach it to congregation of twenty or thirty people! The lack of in- terest, the indifferent attitude of the people would cause man in al- most any line of business to close up shop and move to place where his services were somewhat appreciated. Yet we never hear of minister do- ing that. The reason is that he is working for God-though people sometimes think he is working for them, because they drop coin in the collection plate-and in his work for God he knows that his best efforts will be fully rewarded by Him.
 Seemingly how few people appre- ciate the church as the foundation of a morally and socially clean com munity. "God loves them who fear him." And it is in the church that the fear of God is inculcated. It is fear of the results of wrong doing that keeps many in the straight and marrow path. By that we do not mean fear of bodily injury, but fear of the wrath of an all-powerful God who sees all and knows all. Those who have become so calloused and brazen that they look upon non attendance at church with impunity will sooner or, later be disillusioned.
 To paraphrase the saying "Know your neighbor-you might like him" we say: Go to church-you might learn something.
