“The reception- of our prophet by the
church has been’far more‘ favorable
than i had arty right to expect," writes
Rev. Elwood Worcester, D.D.. in a
discussion of "The Emmanuel Move-
merit," in the July Century.

“it is true that We have met with
opposition. but. on the whole, with far
more acceptance titan opposition.

(‘lll denominationaihave vieite Dos-
ton. lrnvII attended our schools. studied

would rush into the work. 10 the injury
of the church and to the detriment of
the community. Two years and'a half
have passed. and this expectation has
not been realized. There are at pres
out about a dosed clerxymen in the
Unitd States who have nnnotuIced
themselves as willing to treat certain
fornts of functional disorders by the
advice of physicians. With scarce an
exception, these ate pltked men of
st‘ientiflc training and of experience
in dealing with men and women.

"The opposition we have ettcount
ered in the church has come in every
instance, from man who have reached
a time of life when opinions are
crystalised and it is difficult to accept
anything that is new. Their real
onarrel is not with us or our work.
but with the'new spirit that is pass
ing over the world of thought, which
they are unable to grasp. They stand
in the presence of the moat remark-
able religious awakening that has ever
takenpiace in this country. but they
stand helpless either to guide it or to
oppose it. They feel the cold breath
of a new day. but it comes too late
for them. This movement springs
from a new motive—the application of
psychological principles to we omit
tom of religion. It rests in part on
the recognition- of powers within tht
soul of which we were not former!)

An interesting Anaiyelsby- Henry 0.
Newton: or New Haven.

The lion. Henry 0. Newton, of New‘
Haven, has given to the New Haven
Leader the following analysis of the,
Sunday bill proposed by Itko judichtry
committee ofthe state legislature:

“The Sunday bill reported by the
judiciary committee. on it appears in
the papers, gpos further than i have
ordlIInrilyJIea‘rd it claimed such a bill
should go, by those :IdIoI-niiug It more
open Sunday. '

"l have been for ntntty years on
committees charged with observing
proposals of: changes in our Sunday
legislation, and these advocating the
change have always wished it to are
ply only to Sunday afternoons By
far the greater part of oIIr eople at~
lend church, and most of t oseIwho
do not attend desire that churches and
church going should be. maintained.

“I do not believe that there is a
borough or town in the state in
which a vote approving bail playing
on Sunday mornings could be ohiaint
ed, and i seriously question if there
is one in which a majority would vote
to allow ball playing in any part of
the day.

“The first section of the hill rtI~
ported provides that no one shall en-
gage iii any secular business or labor
except works of necessity, mercy, etc.

“The third section provides that any
one who doe any manner of labor
or business I all be fined or impris-
oned, the words 'nny manner’ would
seem to be. intended to cover all labor
or business.

"Under our present statutes. as can:
strued by the supreme court in
Horton vs Norwslk 'lramway cont-
May. 66 Conn 22 travel on Sunday
and the letting of vehicles for travel
lug. including street cars. is now legal
on Sunday. This would include labor
Ind business of a liver,\ stable, on an-
to'stobile garage. oft. driver. chant
feur, etc

"'lt‘ should be custom considered
whether the change to the words an)’
manner of, labor or business from
secular business or lakoris intended
to or does make a change in the law
in this regard. ,

"Section 4 repeats sections 1369 and
All it

1370 of the general statutes.
comes later than chapter 189 of the
“tool mm. which permits those he-

lieving that Saturday is the Sabbath
to work on that day. and makes no
. reference to it, the question will arise
. whether it is intended to also repeat

that act.

“Personally. i tltittk that if any
change is to be made in our Sunday
laws..the keeping open of shops, stores
for trade of the public should be ob
soiutoly forbidden to— Isil classes. it
Sunday is to hens day of rest where
in business in ',§topped a large part
of our mercantile community ought not
to keep open stores, in which those
who do not believe that Saturday is
the Sabbath may trade.

“The question of a thange in the
Sunday law is a very diflcnlt one. i
was the chairman of the committee
who recommended a charge several
years ago, repealing the parts of our
statutes which forbid recreation as dis
anguished from sport and thereby the
construction of our Sunday statutes
was made much more liberal.

“in the discussion of the Sunday
committees of different denominations
as to the proper way of observing
Sunday and as to what. Sunday laws
ought to be, it has become clear that
the question is a very Iditllcult one. as
any change in our Sunday laws should
'be made with very grat care.

"i believe that the people generally
without dii‘tinetlon of creed or no
creed, desire that Sunday should be
maintained as a day of rest and quiet,
and l have condiderable doubt wheth-
er the present bill will obtain a nut.
jority in both houses of the general
assembly.

"The bill provides a fine of not more
than fifty dollars. or imprisonment for
more than thirty days.

"The limit of the jurisdiction of a
justice of the peace is seven dollars or
a fine of thirty days in jail.

"This limit of justice jurisdiction
has come down to us fl‘om ancient
times. in which .a day's work was
worth about twenty-five cents, and
thirty days' work worth about seven
dollars. .

"There should be a choke giving a
justice of the peace jurisdiction in a
case of. a violation of the statute to
fifty dollars, or the law limiting the
a justice should be
changed." ,-

Stbmarine Type to Be Selected Soon

and Bridgeport Concern Naturally
Wishes to Be Picked

BRIMM‘ORT, July l0.——The lake
Torpedo Inoot Company, of this city.
rabid: is building 1th submarines for
tile llnlted StatasIgoverIIment. is attain
in competition with its old rival, the
Electrc Boat; Company. and the new
submarine concern, builders of the
Laurenil type.

Will select Type.

Concerning the submarine situation.
the New York Tribune wdays says:

The nnvai authorities are. consider-
ing the type of the submarines soon
to be built. Congress at the last ses-
sion authorised the construction of
four of these vessels, besides three.
boats of special type, described as
carrying their vital parts below the
water line. The leltzlntion for these
three "vessels oppli to one design.
and their retrace depends on the
IleIIIoIIstrut on the builders are able
to Inake with a complete hunt. The
requirements are being drawn by the
board on construction and the general
board, and relate to such qualities
as need audiendurauce. The naval
stra egists "do ttot pat'trculnrly favor
that type of‘hoat, although it in ref:-
miaed that protection is given u)
the vital part» of subrnergenI-e. At
the same time such a hunt does not
serve the purpose of the subIIIutine,
which has a better form of the name
sort of protection, with the added ad-
vantage of secrecy of ntoventc n1.

Lake ' Contest.

As for the su marines. there will
probably be a contest between the
three il'ftits witt‘ilie types have already
been adopted—Abe type furnished by
the Electric Boat Company, the lake
type and the lanrenti type The npa’
propriation does not justify the hey
contents of any radical changes from
the types now under construction.
Neither will there be an increase in
the displacement. indeed. m that
particular, there is a well defined
view that the submarine need not, for
all practical purposes, be of greater
displacement than four hundred tons.
and some of the experts hold that the
six hundred ton subrnaflne represents
the maximum displacement of that
time, and that there will be a return
to the smaller boat which is consid-
ered to possess sufficient radius of
action in the comparatively restricted
area in whith the submarine will be
employed. The submarine is destined
to find its greatest value in harbor pro
tectlon in connection with the coast
fortifications. when it is used in fleet
operations in open sea natal engage
Inenta, it will probably be rattled on
a battleship and lowered from when
it is desired to use it in a submarine
attack. The submarine in that par
tlcnlnr function is an unknown quarr-
tlty. although the advocates of submar-
ine attack say that it can be used in
deep sea operations as electiv ely and
with no more peril to the occupants
than when-used in harbor defence.

Requirements Not Novel.

The requirements of the navy die
partment in regard to the new sub-
marine will be. therefore, similar to
thoSe which have prevailed in the last
year or two. These specify certain

 

 

-—.

must be capable to in way of direc-
tiou of model: and period of submer.
gence. The submarine now under con-
struction came up to those require-
ments, and the demands of the de-
partment are not regarded as exces-
sive by the designers of the present
boats. Soma- improvements have been
made, of course, but they are of a
tninor technical character, and while
enhancing the value of the submarine
introduce no revolutionary factor in
design, equipment or operation.

Will be Keen Rivalry.

The contest for the contract will be
keen and the naval authorities trader
stand that the question of final deter-
mination will be carried to the sec-
retary and perhaps to the president,
as has beenIthe case hitherto. The
award of a contract for a type of
submarine is of great commercial
value, as may .be readily understood
to the manufacturer of types design-

quirements. This means not only the
adoption of types for the American
navy, but is a recommendation of
considerable wine in the negotiations
abroad.

Antl- Protectionlete Bend Out Nation-ll
Appeal.

With the present tariff agitation
comes this appeal front prominent old-
tlme free trader's:

To the Citizens of the United states:

The apparent acceptance in some de-
gree. of the uncalled protectivo policy
by 1th present congressional repre-
sentatives of both the political parties
~the republicans championing protec-
tion with incidental retenue, and the
detnocrats urging revenue with inci-
dental ptotecilon~mlght beget the litt-
pression that out [ration contains no
men who bellow l the absolute anti
unconditional freedom of trade be-
tween the people of the earth.

Tire undersigned.proclaiming them-
selves as free traders. contend:

It.) That protection erects artificial
barriers between nations. preventing
that natural and healthful interchange
of products which makes for increased
comfort for peace and for the solider
ity of mankind.

til. I Thatprotectioo, by tedttcing the
quantity of incoming fureign goods, re.-
dncos the. buying-power represented
by such goods. attd consequently sub
irncfu from the demand for merchan-
dine and labor which would inevitably
be fostered by the unrestricted free-
dom of exchange.

iii.) ’l‘ltat protection, in addition to
lessening tle demand for labor. and
to a consequent reduction of wages,
greatly increases the cost of neces‘
sarles. thus becoming a powerful agent
in dragging down the condition of our
wage-earning classes.

14.1 That protection has not only

by stifling competition. it has granted
them It license to prey upon the com.
qunity.

to.) That protection, by its methods
which, as they are paid by taxes on
main extracted from theypockets of
the wageIeuI-nlng and salaried classes.

(6.) Thn't protection by its methods,
of indirection crtnningly disguises the
incidences of taxatiort», and thus weak‘
ens that desirable interest in legisla
lion and in government paiieies whic‘ I
direct taxation tends to develop.
