0L THOMPSON BACK. " TO BOYHOOD SCENES Celebrates Anniversary by Visit- “ing His Birthplace, Portland Fifty years ago today, Colonel Al- fred L. Thompson, then a stripling, first saw New Britain the city in which he was to perform -his life work and which was to honor him in many ways- The colonel is a native the good old town of Portland, the town which made sandstane famous, and it was from there that he came to the Hardware City to make his home. In memory of that momentous day, the colonel closed his desk at the city hall this noon and with Mrs. Thompson journeyed to Partland, there to seek out a few boyhood fffends and take a reminiscent view of the village street and the places | made dear by childhood recollections. - Colonel Thompson has been famous in several fields of activity in the half century he has spent in New Britain. When he came here, November 22, 1865, the place was little more than a #thriving village. The Civil war had ended b ut a few months before and ople were striving to readjust con- didons to the new reign of peace. He 8 entered the Grammar school and later | B the High school, then under the *guidance of that veteran school mas- ter, the late John H. Peck. Miss Lucy Angel was the Grammar school prin- cipal and like Professor Peck belonged to a school of sterling pedagogues. Many of New Britain’s most famous p professional and business men point tq the discipline and tutelage they re- ceived under those two teachers as the foundation of their success in life. Colonel Thompson is one of these. Colonel Thompson's first came as a military man. He made a splendid soldier and rose to the rank o’ lieutenant colonel of the First regiment. It was later that he en- tex®d the political fleld and his success there was no less conspicuous. He was | elected city clerk before the days of consolidation and his.popularity was such that it was politically suicidal for an opponent to run against him. Later when consolidation became a fact after many years of struggle, the colonel became deputy city clerk with L. D. Penfleld holding the position of city clerk. On Mr. Penfield’s resigna- | (tion”there was no one'to dispute with him the title and Colonel Thompson has since held the reins. It would be slighting the colonel in a story of this ; time to fail to mention his social and fraternal activities, but the least that can be said is to refer to him as the pillar and guiding light of the leading y de‘rs in the city.

THIS WAR FULFILLS OLD BIBLE PROPHECY Elder White Delivers Interesting Ser- mon on “The Present War in the Light of Prophecy.” Elder E. F. White, pastor of the Advent church spoke on “The present war in the light of prophecy” at the services yesterday morning., The text was “For thus saith the Lord, God of Israel unto me. Take the wine- cup of this fury at my hand and cause all nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.” The speaker said the present war is the result of God’s prophecy quoted above. Students of prophecy said tae sixth vial of God's wrath had been poured out in 1870. Some say the present war is not fulfilling the proph- ecy because none is foretold at this time in the old testament. The speaker said this war is foretold in the fifteenth chapter of the Revelations of Jesus: “And I saw another sign in the heaven great and marvelous, seven angels having seven plagues; for in them is filled the wrath of God.” The prophecp was fulfilled in 1870 and there is every reason to believe the present conflict is the fulfillment of the fifteenth chapter. Continuing, the speaker said many say the war is ended, but that is not so. Regarding the outcome of the conflict, the speai- er would make no prophecy. In conclusion he said ‘“When this war is over the great nations of the ecarth will be like chaff of a thresh- ing floor. And the next wind will blow them away. This world might have had peace. It was in the cross o1 Christ, in the sacrifice of self. But they loved war and because they would be drunk and be drunken, God is making them drink the cup to the last drop.” A, F. OF L.
