them, though there is nothing in the Gospel that they preach to palliate or condone these faults.
 Even the best of men learn slowly to discover and conquer their unworthy acts and tempers.
 The great thing about these 12 disciples is that their hearts were centered on right and that they had the courage and bearing of their convictions. Jesus chose them in spite of their faults be- cause they had in them the very rot of matter.
 The Gospel that they had to preach to the people was the same gospel that they could preach to their own hearts-a gospel of re- pentance and of preparation for the kingdom of God, though they did not realize at the time, as they were later to learn, that this kingdom was spiritual rather than material and temporal.
 How patiently and effectually Jesus dealt with these disciples; how well he understood them and saved them from their own deep- est faults, turning their very weaknesses and temptations to tri- umph; for the faults of these men were the faults of those who were intense in their convictions and allegiances.
 Men neded courage for the work to which they were going, and Jesus inspired them with his own faith and fearlessness. Men never went forth to a greater task, nor have men ever achieved as much from small be- ginnings as has come from the work of the 12 whom Jesus sent forth.

Y THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent

Vatican City, Feb 24-(UP)- The first general gathering of the Knights of Malta that has been held since the members of the or der were obliged to leave Malta centuries ago will be held here March 14 to 20.
 Cardinal Bisletti, grand prior of the order, has issued an invitation to the Knights to attend the gath ering. which will take the form of pilgrimage to Rome on the occa- sion of the present Holy Year.
 The knights, who are all of mo- ble and princely Catholic families, will pay their homage to the Pope in a special audience. They will make the ritual visits to the four chief basilicas of Rome in order to obtain the spiritual blessings prom ised by the Pope.
 The knights will meet and con- slider the various objects interest ing their order. Debates wMl follow and a program will be laid down for closer cooperation in the fu- ture between the various priories, chancelleries and associations.
 The presence of the Knights of Malta at outstanding religious func- tions in St Peter's always lends a note of color to the ceremonies The uniform of the knights consists of bright scarlet tunics.
 The order, although originally military in character and connect cd with the crusades waged against the Turks and other opponents of the Christian religion, has become T philanthropic semi-religious asso- citation of European noblemen pledged to support the Catholic re- iigion and to do good works.

Connecticut Charter
 Is Finally Secured
Governor Winthrop Found Process of Obtaining
 Patent Greatly Involved Even in I662

appointed to perfect this address to the crown and to draft letters to such noble personages'' in Eng land as might be favorable to the colony.
 All the necessary documents were presented at a meeting of the court in June and were approved. As Winthrop was to be the colony's agent, the court gave him fairly free hand to conduct the case as he thought best and appropriated eighty pounds for his expenses and 500 pounds to meet official costs (obtaining letters patent was often an expensive process). He was to obtain, if possible, confirmation of the old Warwick Patent with the desired additions and enlarge ments in the form of a royal let ters patent or charter. Winthrop was specially enjoined to see that the liberties and privileges insert ed in, the patent" were not to be inferior or short to what is granted to the Massachusetts"
 Winthrop sailed for London and there with the assistance of others more familiar with such affairs re- vised the petition and the draft of the form in which the charter was to be asked. These were submitted some time before February G., 1862.

W N1s DsOs
 Editor of The COngregatiOnaliSt
 From those who heard the word of Jesus as he went about teaching and preaching in the cities and vil- lages and who responded to his teaching, Jesus drew 12 into an in ner circle of discipleship. Later he appointed others and sent them forth, two by two, proclaiming the message of repentance and the kingdom of God.
 But throughout his brief min istry, until his death and resur- rection, it is with the experiences of these 12 that we are concerned chiefly. We have no detailed pic- ture of the means by which Jesus taught and trained them, but we have repeated indications that the human material was not molded altogether easily, and that ever the greatest of teachers was not able always to make the truth clear and effective in the mind and heart Of his pupils.
 Concerning some of the 12 apos- ties we have very little knoWl- edge, but others, particularly Peter, John, James, Thomas and Judas, stand forth in the New Testament narrative in distinc- tive way. They must have been men of unusual character to have ben drawn to Jesus as they were.
 Men who were self-satisfied and conventionally minded would have been repelled rather than won by a teacher who uttered such new and strange truth. But the times were rife with the hope of an earthly kingdom, and there is much in the New Testament record to indicate that these men followed Jesus be- cause they believed they were go- ing to share in great kingdom that he would establish on earth.
 Even after they had witnessed the example of Jesus and listened to his teachings of unselfishness and love, they still were capable of quarreling about positions of preferment and who should be the greatest in the kingdom.
 They were not moved with compassion for the multitude as their master was moved.
 It is instructive that Jesus sent them forth to the work of preaching and ministering in his name even before they were in structed fully or in any sense per- feet. The good work of the world has not all ben done by perfect men.
 The ministers of grace often are imperfect in some respect, and it is no judgment upon those who minister in the name of Christ that faults are found in

That the public is fast realizing the importance of vocabulary building and practical English is proved by the increased attendance at each new course and also by the numerous requests from teachers and other organizations through out the state for the services of the instructor and author of these courses John G. Gilmartin. At pres ent, he has classes in Hartford, Watertown and Waterbury (for the teachers). These, coupled with the two new classes to be opened al the Y make it a practical impos- sibility for him to accept more out of-town work.
 The object of these courses is to enable one to talk correctly; to pronounce words that are now be- ing mispronounced by the major ity of people in the professional and clerical fields, and to augment ones vocabulary so that he may be able to express his thoughts clearly and distinctly and speak with f1u- ency and facility. This acquisition is certain to banish the fear or self consciousness that grips the aver age man when he speaks whether it be before small or large groups.

When the charter of Connecticut is mentioned, one usually thinks immediately of the episode of its hiding in the Charter Oak, but probably few other than close stu dents of the states history know that the officials of Charles II's court drafted the charter in dupli- cate and that a considerable part of one of the two copies event. ually became the lining of a lady's bonnet.
 This fact together with the de- tails of the obtaining of the char ter by John Winthrop, then gover- nor of Connecticut, is brought out in "The Charter of Connecticut, 1662," a pamphlet published by the Yale University Press for the com mittee on historical publications of the tercentenary commission which is now preparing for the cell ehration in 1895 of the three hun dredth anniversary of the founding of the Connecticut colony.
 This pamphlet which is one of series of twenty prepared and published for the committee on his- torical publications is divided into three sections. The first is by Al bert c. Bates and describes the copy of the charter which now re- poses in a special fireproof safe in the Memorial Hall of the state H. building at Hartford, and tells of bary and the supreme court building at Hartford, and tells of the unfortunate mutilation of the other copy. The second section, written by Charles M. Andrews, outlines the steps in the long pro cess of securing the charters, while thethird part is a printed copy of the charter itself.
 "This charter formed the basis of the rights and powers of the inhabitants of the colony and was in effect the constitution of Con- necticut for more than a century and a half. It is now the states most precious relic of it's early his- tory," MT. Bates declares.
 In addition to the complete copy minus the seal-which is guard ed at the state library, about two- thirds of the second of the two parchment sheets upon which the mutilated copy is believed to have been written now remains in the custody of the Connecticut His- torical society at Hatfod.
 To obtain Connecticut's charter required three months of John Winthrop's time while the docu- ment-or, to be more extca, docu- ments-went through process that in this modern age would be termed governmental red tape. Although Connecticut's charter was obtained in 1882 the procedure for securign it,, MT. Andrews ex- plains, was defined by an act qf 1885 which remained essentially unaltered until the entire system of seals was simplified in 1851 and 1884.
 Restoration of Charles IT to the throne of England was the signal that started the Connecticut colony's activity to secure char ter. Governor Winthrop called hurried gathering of such magis- trates and deputies before the next meeting of the general court. In the mantim, winthrop framd pe- titiun for the charter.

Connecticut College has just come into possession of a rare document. It is the original deed to Bolleswood, which is part of the Connecticut Arboratum at Connec- ticut College, and bears the sigma ture of the Mohegan sachem Owan- eco, who sold the property to Thomas Bolles of New London in 1893, Bolleswood was given to Con- necticut college by Miss Anna Hempstead branch of New London' a. direct descendant of Thomas Bolles.
