When the attempt was made last year to have the echooner Mayflower en- lered In the race for the international Sshermen’s trophy it met with the op- position of the trustees on the ground that ft wes 3 speed boat which had not gualified as a fisherman by simply mak- Tt ing one trip to the fishing grounds. was & decision that was regarded well grounded. Since then the May- flower bas been engaged in the fishing businers. the trustees have again reached the conclusion that it camnot be admitted under the provisions governing the race It is rated as a fresk vessel which cannot qualify under the require- ments since the race is supposed to pro- mote the development of fishing vessels which will meet the requirements of the Nova Seotia Sishermen, and by no twist of the imagination can the Mayflower be so regarded since there is no D bility of veasels of such a typs being adopted for the deep sea fishing This seems to be a point about ‘which two litfle attention had been given in the past. The claim that the Mayflower bas been engaged in the fishing businses steadlly this year doesn’t bring it with- I the qualifications, even fhough that s what was belleved to be necessary when he decision was made last year. This is & contest, however, W which peither side should desire an unfair ad- wvantage. There are those to rh'?n (h: mestion of quaMfication s left an Iheir decision must go.

Passing the buck to the state may be regarded as trying to slide out of a responsibility under certaln conditions, but New York has been notorfous for the lax manner, in which # has undertaken and carried out the highly important work of regis- tration. The idea that anyone can have. a license to run a machine without some knowiedge as to his character or when 1t is known that he has a criminal rec-| ord, or the granting of Moenses without a satisfactory test of the ability of such operator indicates a sitvation which de- notes poor regulation, and in spite of the bigh death rate from automobile accl- dents and the recklessness displayed lit- tie attention és paid to the suspension or revocation of licenses. It was not so long ago that the etate department of motor vehicles In New York was de- chining to cooperate with Connecticat authorities who were endeavoring to run down eriminals using machine When the police of New York mahtain that they are expocted to make up for weaknesses in the state system of regl! tration and Mcensing there appears to bs ground for it. New York might well take a lesson from the way in which Ii- censes are granted, accidents followed up and -auto driving rights revoked in ®ome of the other states, including Con- necticut and Massachusetts. The me- tropolis cannot shirk its responsibilities but it cannot be expected. to make up for the shortcomings displaved by the state. The problem is a big one and there should be the efficiency dlsplayed both by state and city authorities along. with the closest cooperation. THE MICHIGAN TEST. One primary contest that has been. watched with more than passing inter- est is that in the state of Michigan where a determined effort was made to dofeat Senator Townsend for renomina- tion because he had supported Senator Newberry. Newberryiem was in fact the chief dssue. Opponents of the sen- ator seeking renomination attacked him on that ground and it was apparent that the primary would show the sentimen: of the people of that stats. The reslt therefore in’ the Townsend. victory 1s mot only an endorsement of the record established by that senator In Washington but a vindication by the voters in Michigan of Senator Newber- ry. Apparently those who wanted the test on Newberrylsm belleved it would be the vehicle on which they could ride to the nomination. They misjudged the voters of Michigan and the result simp- Iy echoes the sentiment which has been manifested elsewhere where similar ef- forts have been made in attacking New- berry. Since the Newberry matter has been 50 much in the public eye, and in view of the fact that the courts and the sen- ate have held him not guflty of the charges, there have been furnished good reasons why Michigan should give needed consideration to an election law, which permits of the developments that have taken place in that case. There is good and sufficlent reasons for block- ing corruption, but thers is a legitimate use to which money can be put in a campalgn without invoiving corruption, and consideration showld be allowed for that difference, EDITORIAL NOTES.

Even if you didn't hear the bell and don't intend to for a while, there will be others to keep you company. The Star Spangled Bannmer s 108 years old but more people stand up for it today than there did a gentur yago.

The school board has Teason to be justly complaining, gloomy, grouchy men and women, disgusted With ourselves and everybody else. It makes us look through blue glasses at everybody and everything. Such a spirit as this is not calenlated to generate those common graces of person- ality that are attractive to others. 1t “we smile others will smils With us, it we weep we shall weep alone” If we are after happiness, “we must walk in the light.” Good old Dr. Watts was responsible for deluging England, and subsequently America. with hymns. He not only wrote a ot of “stuff,” but some mighty fine “stuff” Among the latter, take this: “I must be measured by my mind. The soul is the standard of the man' This is perfectly true in theory, but it is far from being a universal standard by which men are measured. As there are 50 many different conceptions of great- ness. possibly it 1s not Wkely that we shall éver have a gemerally accepted standard of greatness. No one but an Immature child would measure real great- ness by avoirdupols welght. But other yardsticks are used beside the mental and moral ones. It must be painfully admit- ted that the only yardstick many people use is the almighty dollar. Men and women are big or little according as they are rich or poor. When shall we learn that there is peither merit in poverty nor disgrace In wealth considered in them- selyes alone? We ought to have brains enough to realize that the mere posses- sion of worldly property is not evidence. Suppose, for 3 moment, that other peo- ple make a great concession and measure us by our minds, it still cemains to be answered how wWe measure ourselves. We, the great American people, who are supposedly the top-notchers in civiliza- tion, are past masters in the art of growling, and accordingly we measure ourselves by our felings. We are blg or little, just as we feel. Some days we are great and other days we. are small, and hence the standard of measurement is as variable as a northeast wind. Let it be admitted, then, that we measure our capacity according to our feelings. That it is a low measurement no onme will question. ~ We see this In the fact that the, mind once in a while asserts its culership and determines that we shall rise above our feelings. And then, for us, a big thing s done when the mind really triumphs over matter. It shows that when W are not in the best work- ing trim. 1f we bone right down to our task with grim determination the pre- sumption Is that we shall succeed. Tt we carefully analyze the attitude we often have toward the dally task, it is enough to make outsiders wonder where we got our reputation for belng red- blooded men. Now the way to slump down on a job 15 just the way we' take, L e, to cave in before our feelings. When the feelings say “You can't do it, and had better not try.” the presumption is we will not put forth the necessary ef- fort. But if the will power speaks in louder tones, “Of course you can do it, 0 go at it like & man” it is then rea- sonable to expect that the thing will be done. If the feelings are allowed to be pampered and coddled they will at length cajole us into the belief that we can do nothing that we don't feel like doing. If, on the other hand, we put the reins of government -into the hands of the will power, we will really astonish ourselves by the amount of work that we can ac- complish. If we slump down into a chronic condition of Inefficiency we have only ourselves to blame: If, on the other hand, we do really meritorious work, we have only ournelves to praise. Tn the world of matural production, May and June are’the season of scatter- ing, while in September and October we have the period of ingathering. In the human economy the reversal of this order obtains. Particularly is this true in the educatfonal world. June is usually the month of ingathering, as that is the sea- son in which academies and colleges have thelr commencement exercises. After these latter are over. and more often be- fore, the trunk is sent by express and the boy and girl cannot leave college halls too quickly for home. How cordial is:the greeting, and how satisefid Is the parent fo mee that the gemeral effect of the school life is telling in the personality of the student. How rich with the most glorious fellowships is the painfully short Interval between the middle of June and the middle of September. Again the trunk 18 packed, farewells are exchanged, tears glisten in the eyes:of both parties, and love follows boy and girl back to the col- lege life. The life onward from this time to the middle of next June is a rich one provided the student throws his whole soul into it. This world of ours is old, but not so old that it has outgrown the heroic spirit. If this hour should ever arrive, we should know for a certainty that the time of final collapse was not far distant. Hero- Ism is one of those fine silken strands that runs throwgh all the centuries, bind- ing all together into organic unity. Hero- ism does not always display itself along the same channels. In the ancient worlg, war was the medium of its communica- tion; in the middle ages, fidelity to hu- man dogmas was considered to be herole. Today, anything strong, manly and disin- tered that requires faith and courage is considered heroic. There are very few more herofc things today than the faith of the schoolboy in the ways and means that will provide for him an education. proud of its work. Callfornia frult growers are going to use peach stones In place of other fuel which s a good idea, but that will not help New England very mugh. Whether it is rum running or put- ting through a railroad strike there are thase who are determined to accomplish their purpose even though it is done at the cost of human life, There should be an interesting contest this fall among those who discover sighs indicating cold weather to be near or far off. It the contest gets lively enough it may help to warm things up & bit.

It 15’ hardly short of a miracle how some of the boys get through. It may be that the same Higher Power that loves also provides. I have mever been able to understand just what Bmerson meant when he said that “men descend to meet” even when it in another place by say- ‘almost all people descend to riage, which is the most beautiful of all association, would lose rather than gain in moral beauty, In true marviage “the aroma of the flower of each of the heau- tiful natures” does not disappear, melther is it lessened, but shines = forth with finer fragrance and bloom than before. ‘We have been taught to belleve that there is strength in unity. Two horses work- ing together mors than double their in- dividual working capacity. Beauty, like strength, increases with' addition. The statement may he un-Emersonian but when different hues mingle in a sm- gle flower there is no loss of beauty. Where one hundred men meet for the furtherance of some worthy object, have they dropped to a lower level by the combination of effort? If so, then organ- faztion of all sorts iy a huge mistake. One would naturally suppose that com- ing together for the mutual exchange of ideas would react on the individual mem- bers as a stimulation and not as a de- pressfon. Why do we at a considerable expense send delegates to a distance to attend a great convention If it is to re- eult in a personal loss rather than a personal gain? Let us do away with cab- Inets, congresses, ‘parliaments, conven- tions and associations which are main- tained at great expense, if coming to- gether cesults in a loss of self respect. As a matter of fact, any man with his two feet on the ground knows perfectly well that this talk about “descent” when men meet is simply high-brow bunk. SUNDAY MORNING TALK A STORY OF SHIPWRECK. “And so it came to pass that they escaped all safe to land.” Acts 27: 44. This is a perfect story of a shipwreck. No sailor of the present time Writing of his voyage across the ocean could give a better deseription of his experiences, or use more correctly the nautical terms. This s one thing which compels men to believe in the integrity of the Scriptures, It has given us the truth concerning sci- ence, it has given us the highest system of morals, and the world’s civilization has been brought to pass just by coming up to the realization of God's eternal purposes and plans, and now here in the common everyday experiences of a sailor wWe have the story of life’s voyage and a shipwreck. 1t one should try today to make a book which would appeal to all. both to the wise and the ignorant, he would find that he had befére him & difficult task, but since God is the author of the Book, and is the maker of us all, it is perfectly easy. Life is indeed o voyage. The poct has said so, we have all of us realized it. We have & star set before us to guide us in the way. and that star is Christ. We have a compass placed within our grasp so that we may not go astray from Him, and that compass is the Bible. We have a harbor set before us into which one dey we shall_enter, and that harbor is heayen. Bvery one who studies God's Word and human nature sees constantly about him the evidence of coming shipwreck. Some men are selling their souls for money, they are willing to deny themselyes any comfort or rpleasure and to make any sacrifice if orly they may reach the goal, and such aAoyage as this rightly calls forth Paul's waening, “This voyage will be with hurt and much damage Some men are giving themselves up to a Iife of deceft.

The country-side farmer rebelled and demanded the restoration of his stone roads with théir magnified cobbie stone surfaces, and once more was {credited with ‘pure cussedness’ by newspaper readers at occidental break- fast tables.” || IN THE PUBLIC EYE Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann, who has been unanimously re-elected president of the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal church, has filled that positilon since 1913. A native of Geneva, N. Y., and the son of a clergyman, Dr. Mann was geaduated from Hobart college in 1881 with an A. B. degree. A few years i later he was given the B. D. degree by the General Theological seminary of New York. He began his pastoral work in 1585 as assistant at St. James' church, Buffalo. In 1886 he was ordained priest and became assistant in Grace church, Orange. N. J. In 1890 he became rector of that church and also archdeacon of the diocese of Newark. In 1905 he was | called to Trinity church, in Boston, and has served there as rector for the past 17 ary bishop of the state of Washington, suffcagan bishop of New Jersty and bish- op of western New York. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Beply to Mr. Eno. Mr. Editor: A letter from J. N. Emo, A M, printed in 3 recent issue of The Bulletin shows that he has not gained a very clear understanding of Christian Sclence. Kindly pjermit me to reply. In the third chapter of St. John we find the record of a wonderful conversation, in the course of which Jesus sald to Nico- demus: “Except & man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" and “That which {s'born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” These two statements make it quite clear that there is a spiritual state of being which can neither be perceiv- ed mor attained unless a man gains an entirely different sense of life than that cognized by the physical senses. Our friend quotes Mrs. Eddy as say- ing: “God is Life’ Tt should be under- stood, however, that the term Life as here used means something entirely di ferent from so-called organic animal or vegetable life. Christian Science teaches that God is Mind. It by no means fol lows that this divine Mind is identical with mortal” mind, naméd by St. Paul e carnal mind” which he tells us “is enmity against God.” Christian Sclent- ists classify diseases as “errors of mor- tal mind” bacaue fthey have learned that diseases are the effect produced by mortal minds’ fear, ignorance, and sin. Those who can demonstrate Christian Science by healing the sick know that Christian Science and Christ's Christiani- ty are identical. Instead of leaving us n Pryonnic scepticism” Christian Science, rightly understood, leads us to Christ. Yours sincerely, WILLIAM CAPELL, Committee on Publication for Connecticut. New.

It is because this is true that God warns in His Word. There {s another voice which declares that it is unnecessary to be so disturbed, for men must sow their wild oats and after a while they will recover from their weakriess. Let it mever be forgotten however, that no man ever yet has sowed wild oats without reading a harvest; the harvesting day is sure to come. It is not best for men, says the second voice, to be consldering too much. Let them have a life of freedam and after a while, en they see the folly of fheir ways, they will turn and be saved. No man eyer yet has yieided to sin in the least expects it, he will come face to face With it. The other voice answers: There is time ¢nough when all of God's warnings are for today and all His promises for the present time. If we continue to refuse the time will come when we will be obliged to say, “The harvest is past, the summer {s ended, and we are not saved.” This story of shipwreck is true to life. As the apostle Paul said when they were setting sail for Rome, “And said unto them, Sirs, T perceive this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only-of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.” Acts 27: 10. It seemed as if Paul's warning had been idle and his concern useless, for the south wind came upon the passengers, and they laughed at this earnest preacher. The same thing is true today. who seemingly ‘care mot for ‘warnings or for the OChrist the south wind guides and blinds them. “But not long after there arose against it a tem- pestuous wind called Euroelydon.” Is not this true of life? In the 35th verse we read, “And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea,” which leads us o see there is mo Facrifice too great for us to make to be a Christian.
