e ———— A " DR, DAVIS GREETS - 0LD PARISHIONERS Suth Gfinrt:hkcrowded to Doors it Yesterday Morning's Services e — By a tion which crowded the pews a) , Rev. Dr. Ozora S. Davis was N & royal welcome by hls: old parishioners at the South efitirch yesterday morning. With one exception it was the first opportunity he had had to meet them for over six Years and Wwhich the former pastor took as much delight as did his flock. Rev. Dr. G. W, C. Hill, .the present pastor, spoke g0 behalf of the congregation in wel- @oming Dr. Davis to his old pulpit “imand said that the estecm in which he Was held, as evidenced by the large congregation, was very gratifying to him. Dr, Davis always a spontaneous speaker, was in his best vein and it was evident to all within the church that the occasion was one of the greatest ple; re and delight to him. Hg safd the supreme and precious ®ing in life is love, and it was in the #acred meaning of these truths that e dared use the words “My friends.” He thanked them all from the bot- tem of his heart for the privilege of :‘:tuming to a place dearer to him an any other he knew, 3 this church, S For the past eighteen months from the Christian pulpits there has been Ell one message, he said. We are ‘sblemnized and staggered, but not discouraged by the European carnage gnd bloodshed. With a new chal- Jenge, the skeptic, the pagan and scol- fer have thrown full at us the charge that Christianity has broken down, ;:fii the ants‘wer to this is the com- ng continuous interest ‘Ghurch today- Siet e #“4iHave in you this mind which was i8lso in Jesus Christ,” were the words “Or his text. At a meeting in Chi €ago not long ago, General Booth's daughter in describing the motive ‘Which prompted the work of the Sai- \Vation Army on the streets of Parle put her hand to her heart and said. (It burns.” Some thought she was {tomperamental and full of sentiment cerning her religion, but she had lestribed the seéntiment of Chris- | tanity in full scinetific terms. William {James, the eminent psychologist, re- iferred to Christianity as that set of motives from which we act, the heart, the place of consciousness. g Christianity, he said , in ifs insti- { tutional form, has proven inadequate represent its Lord, but Christianity ppresented by Jesus Christ has not hiled, So we come again to reaffirm r belief in the triumph of that faith a personal Christ. Whenever an individual, a race, a nation, or the fons of God, take the motives of Jesus Christ and place ‘them at the | burning center of action they become ) Christian, and Christiagity of that kind has not broken down, but will ¢@nquer the world, declared Dr. Dayvis, At the close of the services, Dr. | Davis gave an informal reception to his old friends and parishioners and was busy for half an hour extending hand grasps and greeting many whom he had not seen in years. In the af- ternoon he went to New Haven where he delivered the council sermon of the national council of Congregational ' churches in Woolsey Hall, where he " pfénched ,on a theme similar in though to that in the morning at the local church.

(Norwich Bulletin.) The time has not come when the American public can successfully re- sist the alluring offerings of the swin- dler. In spite of the almost daily lessons which should be sufficient to place people on the guard, they ap- parently amount-to little when it is re- ported from Washington that the people of this country in the past four years have been swindled out of $239,000,000. This means a loss, in a_ great majority of the cases un- doubtedly, ‘'where the people could not afford it and at the same time it has meant the easiest kind of a liv- ing for those engaged in taking ad- vantage of the gullibility of the peo- ple. Though persistent efforts are made to run down and punish such oper- ators both by prosecution and by denying them the use of the mails, the discouragement is never sufficient to drive them out of business. those who give up the game there to engage therein, confident of their counter. The strangest part of the swindling game, however, is the unbounded more unreasonable the promises and the greater the inability to under- stand how such a proposition can be made ,the greater appears to be the confldence therein.

BERMAN, 41 ARCH STREET MAP OF BALKAN BATTLEFIELD The map shows how Servit is being attacked on the north and east by the Austro-Germans and Bulgarians, while ifrom the south the Anglo-French troops are rushing to the aid of their 2lly. The Bulgarians report the cap- ture of Vranja on the Nish-Saloniki railroad. The Austro-German ad- art and library display, memorial stamps and coins are to be produced, public meetings in the cities—Madrid, Seville, Valladolid, Toledo, Cordova —are to be held in honor of the au- thor and in praise of his work. Cervantes lived and worked for a considerable portion of his life in old Toledo. Writers have remarked on the failure at tourists to stop at the Cervantes house, as they would at Stratford. Even the native guildes | have in the past neglected to do as! much as they might in the way of | calling attention to the historic place, as squalid now as it was in the day of Cervantes. Contrast displayed by the English in all things connected with Shakespeare. Shakespeare was | no more to the English than Cervan- tes that the Spanish people have neg- lected “Don Quixote.” That classic i book, the product of hours of toil in pverty, in slavery, in prisn and at times comparative ease, is the na- tional literary work, Shakespeare’s tercentenary falls in | L vance from the north is making slow headway. The Servian government | archives have been removed from Nish, to which place they were taken when, in the early days of the war, the Austrians menaced Bulgrade to Prizrend, near the Albanian frontier. The capture of Strumitza by the Allies was reported and subsequently denied. —————— e the same year as that of Cervantes- Spain plans to take advantage of this and share with the English poet a few of the honors gathered for Cer- vantes. Everybody in Spain, it is said, believes in “Don Quixote,”"—not the book, but the character. There are even some who profess to be descend- ed from the knight. And possibly some humbler serving people, some families of muleteers, are to be found proud to trace their ancestry to the illustrious and faithful Sancho, This sentiment is characteristic. The people have entered into the celebration with enthusiasm, numerous editions of the writer's works being prepared for speclal sale. A T man, 1.

Meskill in police court this morning, and Baba Mooshal, Mar- cus Kanoskian, Karel Kayas and Jo- seph Bagdasorian, frequenters, were each fined $5 and costs for gambling. The police were tipped off that there | was a gambling joint on Lafayette | street wheh a brother of one of the | gamblers made a complaint that he | was being pauperized by the card route. Sergeant Bamforth and Officer Malone testified that when they en- tered the place they found four of the accused seated at a table playing | “thirty-one.” There was no money on the table, but the players had the money underneath the table in their laps. They shoved it in their pockets | when the police arrived. l All of the accused denied gambling. They said they were playing cards to | pass the time away, and the money mentioned by the police was that | which they spent for coffee. The pro- | prietor also denied running a gambling house and said he did not know what game the quartet were playing. El | Josef, Saul Abraham and Sam Moos- | hall, erstwhile frequenters of Peter's | pool room and coffee house, testified, | however, that on many occasions in the past they had seen gambling going on there, and all declared that the proprietor received a rake-off of ten cents per game. Youth Sent to Jail. James Corbett, a youth of nineteen years, was sent to jail for thirty days on a charge of drunkenness. arrested by Officer Charles McCarthy on Main street Saturday night fol- lowing a fight upon the railroad tracks. When Corbett staggered down Main street he had a large stone in his pocket, but he denied having taken part in the fight or of having the stone as a weapon of offense. He had the stone to crack walnuts with, he said. Accused Ts Lucky. Amos Begorra was lucky this morn- ing when he was arraigned on a charge of breach of the peace. He was arrested by Officer Heslin on a complaint preferred by Mrs. Morley. The woman was the only witness against the accused and when she failed to appear in court Prosecutor Klett entered a nolle, after giving Be- gorra a warning. Kislowski told .the court that he was at work Wednesday morning and wanted to get out and go home. He knew he could not get out without a pass and that the watchman at the gate would not let him through. Therefore, he used strategy. He “bor- rowed” a bicycle from the racks and rode .out, giving the watchman the impression that he was an errand boy. His ruse was successful and he left the wheel against the curh outside the factory. Good News From Hartford, The mere ng of money is not always truly ncouraging as it ap- pears but closcr examination does not | spoil the news from Hartford that the expenditures of the state, for the year ending September 30, were less by $1,366,619 than those of the previous year. This is a sum considerably in excess of the amount received from the state tax. It is saved despite the fact that the legislature was in ses- sion this vear, and its direct and in- cidental expenses are added. How was the money saved? Run- ning down the list, it is easy to catch the big drop in the outgo of the high- ways department, The details of how it accomplished it are not yet given, but we know in gross that it saved $1,201,094.41 in the year. The dif- ference between this and the total, amounting to only $165,5624.59, is al- most covered by the reduction of $165,624.59, is almost covered by the reduction of $162,564.43 in the | amount drawn by humane institu- | tions. In addition to that state pri- | sons cost $13,694.67. less, and the tuberculosis commission received So there was oppor- tunity, evidently improved, for in- crease in some other departments. | It does not appear that there has | or in the results secured by the high- way department. It was apparent that here was our most cxpensive de- partment, and naturally a great effort was made to secure a better showing for it. Whether that record can be kept up is a question, but there has been no change In administration there. We can hardly afford to let up materially on our highway im- provement program, but we do need to keep up the economy thtre. That need not be the only point, however. The showing of the year is a good one. Let the check be continued un- til the speed of our increasing re- ceipts catches up with the speed of our increasing expenditures, and then, perhaps, we can get along without a state tax. The good showing is only an incentive to make a better one next year Another list of personal tax delin- quents has been placed in the hands of Proeecuting Attorney Kiett and un- less the taxes are pald immediately further prosecutions will follow.
