NEWS FROM ALL QUARTERS

CHURCH NOTICE. Women whose scanty attire over-, steps the bounds of modesty will in future be barred from services at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral at Burlington, Vermont, U.'S.A., according to a notice posted at the entrance to that chuich. The rector, explaining his standpoint to the congregation from the pulpit, said: “The Church makes ho attempt to regulate styles or fashions, but modern women are letting styles and fashions overrule the Ten Comandments.” He ridiculed the idea that women wear present-day fashions for their comfort. v ' BRAVE GIRL’S REWARD.

SECRET SUBMARINES “It may be said that fleets of submarines could be built secretly and the Powers in some future war who had ‘played the game’ would be at a disadvantage. This argument is absurd. The modern submarine is a large craft or unmistakeable characteristics. It is extremely doubtful if a fleet of them 'oukl be built in any country in the world without the fact becoming public But what is more important is tliat they could not possibly be exercised in secret Directly a submarine puts to sea any : sailor can recognise her, and would report the fact. And, ’ without long periods... of intensive sea training no submarine crew can be efficient. It takes years to make a capable submarine officer, and nearly as long to train an effective crew. Once we can get international agreement on this subject and existing submarines scrapped,- the fear of a surreptitious evasion of Treaty obligations can be put, aside.”—Commander Kenworthy. ADMIRATION AND LOVE “A man may admire but will hardfy love, an orchid, a bird of paradise, a text-book, or a museum; on the other hand, he loves rather than admires, a rose, a sky-lark, a poem, or a church. There are subtle movements in the human soul which witness to the truth of religion, and in this difference between admiration and love a man may see how profoundly religion answers the deepest needs of his mysterious nature. Every man knows the change which takes place in the depths of his being when he passes from admiration for the grandeur of a thunderstorm to the wistful love inspired by the serenity of a sunset, or from a discussion with an intellectual friend to embrace his child. And every man may experience as he will the enormous difference which separates admiration Tor some great hero from love for Christ. Admiration for what is admirable strengthens character. Love for what is supremely .lovable transforms it.— “The Two Wayfarers” in their book, “The Christ of the English Road.”
