A MERRY TINE AT THE CITY BUILDINGS 1 Capacity Crowd Attended Po- 1ige Constables' Concert and - Dance Wednesday Night. The concert in Memorial Hall and the dance in City Hall, on Wednes- day evening, formed a most fitting climax' to the day of days for the "members of the Kingston Police De- Partment, in connection with their TW" field day sports. The concert was attended by a crowd that filled Me- | morial Hall to the doors, while the | dance hall was also filled to over- | flowing. These two historic halls have been the scene of many brilliant i functions, but not in years has there been an event that created so much general interest as these held by! VOTE FOR 1. H.

E, Gilroy, D.D., Editor of The Congregationalist. |* The last six of the Ten Command- [ ments, which form the subject mat- [ter of this lesson, are classed under {the title "Duties to Man." As we [suggested last week, however, they {imply--quite as much as the pre- {ceding commandments--duties to {God, for God is honored most when men express the spirit of His love |and the spirit of true worship to Him {in the daily relationships of life. | Here, however, in connection with {these commandments we have spe- | cial occasion to emphasize the place of the commandments at the very fpundation of society. Can one doubt that the disregard of these com- mandments is the great secret of much of the unhappiness, discon- [temt and wickedness in American {life to-day ? Where home has no meaning and father and mother are not honored, or possibly are not worthy of honor, how can one hope [to see sound conditions outside of the homes of the nation ? On the other hand, a mation that has good homes, where father and round the home with the spirit of love and service, and where they are themselves honored, will be a nation exemplifying a great social and political life. Life Cheap To-day. Is there not need to-day of par- upon the Sixth Commandment ? Not only in a wide- spread way but in very deep ways there is an essential disregard of the samrednéss of human life. The life lof the individual is held very cheaply {in America at the present hour. | Think also of the need of a new lemphasis upon the Seventh Com- Imandment as the foundation of good | relationships bétween men and wo- !men and happy married. life. Can {one. believe that the thousands of people in America who have disre- garded that commandment and who have sought to find happiness in | what they called "self-expression® ave found any real satisfaction ?

There is need to-day of interpret- ing the commandment, "Thou shalt not steal," in broader and effective ways. Too long have we regarded stesling with the thought of the bur- glar who breaks into the home at night or the pickpocket who fliches something from a fellow mortal. ---- Is Stealing. We h#ve not properly questioned the real rights of property and the rights of many to the things that they call their own. How have these things been acquired ? Have great fortunes been built up by graft and dishonesty ? Certainly not g!l great fortunes have been built up in any such way. Patience, competency, effort, wise judgment, all have had to do with much great commercial success. But, on the other hand, there have been dishonesties too often in high places, and men have pursued gain without regard to the rights of their fellows. It is in such matters as this that these commandments find their full expression and interpreta- tion in Christians. It is not enough merely to define conventional stand- ards of what constitutes stealing. All thése things must be tested ul- timately by the spirit of essential justice and love with Jesus enjoined as the only ultimate and true justice between man and man, Sound Rules. The modern world might well have a new revival also of the Ninth Commandment. The bearing of false witness against one's neighbor is one of the most tragic practices in mod- ern life, in business, in politics, yes, unfortunately in religion, and in the very name of Christ Himself there is all too much of this bearing of false witness against one's neighbor. Can we not also approve the wis- dom of the Tenth Commandment ? Covetousness corrupts and destroys spiritual life and happiness.
