Ought to Banish
Visitation of Sick
ii
f&vanatoB, 111.,. Aug. 3 (By the Apr
Mociated Press.)?Making a plea for
cheerfulness in clerical ministratta?
to the ailing, Dr. George Craig Stewart
,rector of St. Luke's Episcopal
church of thijl city, says the order for
the Visitation of the Sick, in the dei
limitation's Book of Common Prayer,
ought to be banished or "set in n
different key." Dr. Stewart is a delegate
to the Episcopal General Convention
at Portland, Orogan, in Septcm-i
I or.
"Wo reeognize th.q canons of common
sense in dealing with the sick, Dr.
Stewart said in commenting on the
proposed revision of the order. "Who
among our clergy uses the present
'Order for the Visitation of the Sick?'
if he did he would soon find himself
persona non grata to the patient and
doctor and nurse aliko, and properly
so. When Phillips Brooks walked
down the street men said 'the sun is
shining. What a fine day! To rend
the present order for the Visitation
of the Sick would be to draw the
Minds and summon the undertaker.
It is 'Hark from the tomb a mournful
sound' and we ought to banish it
or else set it in a different key. This
doesn't mean, we cancel the Crosa or
deny the value, much leas the reality
of physical suffering, or exclude God
from this whole area of His euniverse.
"So pray 'Sanctify this thy fatherly
correction' over some child with infantile
paralysis is cruelly unreal; to
pray 'or else give her grace so to take
Thy visitation that after this painful
life ended' is a cheerless prayer to
offer for a woman undergoing pains
after an operation rnd it is nothing
less than cowardice to hit a man when
lie's down by solemnly exhorting him
to take in good part the chastisement
of, say a high fever and a splitting
neaaacnc Decause 'Whom the Lord loveth
He chasteneth and scourgeth my
son whom He receiveth'.
"Then there are those recurring
?' words over which our fathers loved
to linger with mournful Intonations in
luxurious lugubrousness. How dolefully
the changes are rung upon them
as the office is solemny tolled. 'Fraud',
distcmpter', 'correction',. 'visitation'
'adversity', 'wrath', 'decayed', 'decayeth',
'dissolution', 'the grave-, thus tho
dirge is sounded in prayers and exhortations
until the unhappy sufferer
if he were tortured with it would feel
(and who could blame him) that the
heaviest of the visitation of an angry
God was this visitation of the sick."
British Players Criticize
Ethics of Cricket
London, Aug. 4.?To say in England
of anybody's conduct "it isn't
cricket," is an expression of strong
disapproval, for cricket, the national
game, is believed to show the Eng-?
lishman at his" best.' Yet cricket itself
today is being strongly censured.
Here are sotne names printed .in
an account of a cricket match between
two country clubs. Holmes,
SutclifTe, Rhodes, G. Wilson, H. L.
Higgins, A. M. Carr, Tarbox, Povey,
C. S. Hurst, Robinson, L. W. H.
Troughton.
Observe carefully that some of
them are preceded by initials and
some are given without initials. And
it is just the presence or absence of
initials which shows where cricket
"isn't cricket." according1 to the
critics. Those whose names are preceded
by initials are amateurs an;i
socially are accounted "gentlemen;"
those who are given their surname?
only are thereby known to be professionals
and not entitled to be considered
"gentlemen."
It would cause trouble in any English
newspaper office if, in giving
the scores in any first class cricket
match the name of an amateur player
should appear without his initials.
And it would cause just as much
trouble if a professional should be
dignified by putting initials before
his name.
Cricket is the only game played
here in "which amateurs and professionals
play together as members of
the same team. They meet on fa-|
miliar terms cm the field and social j
dist notions are never obtruded there
Hut they are in evidence all the
same if one knows where to look for j
meni. i litre* m uiic ui t'bmiiK ruuiu
provided for ihe gentlemen cricketers
nnd another provided for the professional
cricketers. They must not
take tea together; for that sacred
function cricket etiquette requires
that they should occupy separate refreshment
quarters.
The democratic tendencies of the
day have leveled more than one British
class distinction no less invidious
than this discrimination against team
mates in the nation game.

Hull, and the meeting will consider
resolutions adopted at the Seventh
Annual Meeting of the World Alliance,
held last May in Cleveland, O.,
which urged the United States government
to participate in the Court
of International Justice; favored the
progressive reduction of armaments,
and called upon the American people
to cultivate and practice the art of
thinking in terms of peace and international
good will and to "find
and apply the peaceful methods of
settling international differences
with honor and credit to the nations."
The result of a study of labor conditions
in the United States, Great
Britain, France, Germany, Denmark,
Hungary, Austria, Holland and Serbia
will be reported by nine committees
appointed last January for this
purpose, and the conditions thus analyzed
will be brought to the attention
of the national governments
concerned. On the basis of these recommendations
the churches of the
world will be asked to do their part
in reconstructing the industrial order.
One session will be devoted to a
discussion of racial and religious minorities,

Subsidy Portuguese Fashion
A decree that was passed in Lisbon
in the early part of the year ostensibly
intended to foster Portguese
shipping, provides, among other
things, for the payment of port and
pilotage charges by foreign shipping
in sterling at par, and by native shipping,
in Portuguese currency, thus
subjecting foreign steamship owners
to charges substantially 50 times
higher than those imposed upon domestic
owners; a reduction in custom
duties on the import and export of
goods in Portuguese bottoms; preferential
treatment to Portuguese ship
owners with respect to taxes, licenses
and other charges; tax on all
passage tickets issued to foreign
steamers trading to ports in Pprtuguese
colonies, provided service is
maintained to these ports by Portuguese
lines; tax on passage fares
hooked in Portugual for ports other
than those in Portuguese colonies, a
tax, which although applying to Portuguese
as well as foreign ships,
would not seriously affect the former,
as Brazil is the only country outside
Portugues colonies to which Portguese
passenger ships at present
trade.
Although all foreign ships are
treated alike in respect of these preferences
and taxes, they will especially
affect the British lines, because 20
or more of such lines trading to South
Africa, South America and the east
have been in the habit of putting into
Portuguest ports en route.?The Natinn'n

More than 40,000 men now liviny

war. Of this number, nearly 30,000
suffered the loss of one lejf, more than
11,000 lost an arm, just under 1,000
lost both letfs, while the number who
lost both arms is exactly 50.

by observers hgrp as rapidly moving y
from bad to worse, and unless the b

menaced by the invasion of Ibn 11
Saoud, Sultan of Nejd, at thje hpad ti
of 10,0,00 well anned Wahahi tribes- o:
men, still h?lds the reins of power, n
but he seems to have committeed an yj
unpardonable sin in the eyes of the ?
icaaers or tnc tribe8 dwelling within
his territory for having humblpd him- h
self to tbn Saoud by suefng for k
peace. oi
A delegation from a majority of ti
the tribes of Trans jnrdpnir. recently o
waited upon Emir Abdullah, remon- ii
strated with him on his course, and c<
submitted the following demands: o:
i The immediate dismissal of all A

interests of foreigners. ti
2. The immediate convocation of a bi

tied as the Syrians tied the hands of w
my brother Feisul, later on expolling hi

It is rumored that Emir Abdullah,

Swedes Again to Sail (.
Seas to Delaware al
o'
Gothenburg, Sweden, Aug. 3.?One 1;
of the most romantic adventures of S
the Swedes during the early seven- a
teenth century?the foundation of the n
first Swedish colony in America? d:
will be enacted next summer, if plan?
now under way in Gothenburg ma ,r
tefialize. It is uronosed to renroducc
an exact, full sized model of the J
"Kalmare Nyckel"?the "Key of Kal- J
mar"?the vessel in which the first n
Swedish immigrants to the New ai
World crossed the Atlantic to Dele- i*
ware in 163&, and to sail it to Am- 3|
erica. ol
In t order to add further interest to a:
this event it is planned that the crew p."
and passengers be made up of Am- n
erican descendants of the early Swed- jr
ish settlers along the Delaware river
and of the descendants of later immi- 21
grants. Even the vessel itself is to -.1
he built by Swedish Americans, and :i
the crew and passengers will be in A
early Seventeenth Century Swedish tl
costumes. The new Kalmare Nyckel ;t
is to be sai'yd over the same course s|
as taken b$ the original immigrant
vessel which landed on the shores of s
'he Delaware river more than a centuvy
and a quarter before the Am- tl
erican Revolution. ?<
It is thus proposed suitably to com- w
memorate the coming of the Swedish p
immigrants to what is now the state a
of Delaware, and to call attention to A
the advancement and good fortune of n
Swedish immigrants and their de- tl
srendants in America. The project p>
was suggested to the management of a
the Gothenburg National Exposition, \
which is now in preparation and .>
which will be held next May to celebrate
the 300th anniversary of the )

Washington, Aug. 3?(By the Asiciated

of its creation by Congress or
ugust 4, 1790.
Special drills and ceremonies are
eing held on all Coast Guard vesseli

f the Coast guard over a period 01
32 years ; j reviewed by Assistant
ecretary of the Treasury Clifford ir
dispatch which is to be read a1
luster of all units of the guard. Thu
ispatch says:
"On August 4, 1790, George Wash
igton, President of the Unilet
tates, approved an Aec which inuded,
among other provisions, auje-rization
for tht construction ol
ot exceeding tenr revenue cutters
nd specified how uie cutters should

n Act of the se^ind session of the
irst Congress and-it is of interest tc
ote that this entire session was helc
i the city of New York.
"After the freedom of the Amrican
colonies had been won througV
le War of the Revolution the Con

as then no sea force available foi
