Berlin News | SWAIN'S LEGTURES DRAW LARGE CROWDS Bridgeport Dwme Has a Style Simple But Forceful FOUR LECTURES THIS WEEK Tribute to Dr.- Pr. Hillis’ Swain— Memorial Day Observances—Autos ," In Trouble—Carriage Struck on Berlin Street—Other Items, ““fhere were large congregations yes- terday at the union meetings in the Congregational church in the morn- ing and in the Methodist church in the evening. Rev. Richard L. Swain, Ph.D. of Bridgeport, delivered the *»first and second of his six lectures, wehich were preceded by very brief worship conducted by the two local pastors. He spoke for about an hour each time, in a simple but forceful manner, which was interesting and held the attention from the beginning to the close. The morning lecture to which the 4 title “The Honest Atheist” was given, was largely biographical. His parents were deeply religious people, his fa- ther, a minister, came from England before the Civil War, and the home of his boyhood was in a rough western frontier town. His father was absent from home much engaged in the work of a frontier minister, and he ~was left at home with his mother; and from her learned the child's first Jessons in religion. At about the age of fifteen he tried to “get old people’s religion” at the ‘“‘mourner’s bench” during a “revival” that was accom- panied in many cases by much mental and physical excitement. At length he attained a stage of happy feeling which he supposed to bhe ng religion,” or being converted. This expericnce is now judged to have been “super-normal;” while the ab- sence of religious experience in people today is characterized 2s normal.” Reaction followed, impossible by means to the happines: Then the boy's mind began to raise such ques- tions as “Where is God?” and “Why cannot God show himself and prove the reality of his existence?” The timid, bashful boy kept his doubts to himself and went on trying to fulfill religious duties, assisting in Christian work, even recommended to the con- ference for a license to preach, an& going through college and theological school preparing for the ministry, but wall the time oppressed by his doubt whether there was a God, and hoping to find light. The conclusion of thi: ind of life vas summed up by the resolution, “T 1 act as if there is'a Ged, and if there is, God will love me.”" The subject of tk evening lecture was, “How Science Saved Religlon.” A brief resume’ follow There was a time when science seemed.fo make havoc of religion. Many peopie lost the sense of a personal God through many “sub- in which it was any tate of regain | of any reality beyond the material things, that they could love. They could no longer believe in as a great big man-God, in some particular place called Heaven and could not realize God as an infinite Spirit. What is God? Personality express- es to us a truer idea of God than Spirit. Personality is loving, rational will. We cannot see even human per- sonality, but only the body which 1s the instrument of the spirit. Man is made in the image of God, and God must be in the image of man, not in bodily form, but in personality, man freed from sin and lifted to infinite power would be the image of God. Where is God? The human nersonal- ity is always where the instruments of the loving, rational will are, whether the face or the finger tips, or the vibrations that are through the telephone or by wireless. So God is wherever his instruments are. Science conceives all nature as a beautiful complex of energies. These energies are God will. All nature is God at work. Creation was not fin- ished in seven days, but is a present work of God. We can see the instru- ments of God's will, but cannot see God himself and may not expect to see him in Heaven, in any bodily form, or in any sense, unless our 3ouls are empanded to know and realize him in such ways as are possible to us. Tonight’s Lecture. The lecture in the Methodist church this evening. will begin prompt- ly at 7:45 o’clock. The subject is, “Does man have a soul? Who is he, and what is his place in the universe? Would the absence of man cripple God? What could an infinite God care about such a little speck? Is not socialism the best religion there is?” The lectures are entirely free. Dr Hillis’ Testimonial, Dr. Swain gave his course of lec- tures in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, N. Y., beginning March 19. The pas- tor, Dr. N. D. Hillis says: “Dr. Swain gave us a great week in Plymouth. He gave six addresses, with an audience that improved in number and qual- ity, and with ever deepening intellec- tual and spiritual interest. He has the evangelistic spirit with the tem- per of the sclentist and philosopher. He has a vital message for those who have lost faith. I shall write a score of colleges telling them that this man has a message for this genera- tion.” Dr. Swain next spent four weeks in Providence, R. TI.,, including one week in Pawtucket. The lectures were received with the same enthusiasm that they awakened in Plymouth. Kensington is the first country place in which the lectures have been giv- en, and peculiar interest arises from this fact. Tt is a rare opportunity that {s given to hear important relig- ious questions discussed in a plain and able manner. Dr. Swain has been re- markably successful in interesting men in religious subjects. He is a man’s man. East Berlin Observance. East Berlin observed Memorial day yesterday with a parade and decora- tion of graves in the Wilcox ceme- tery. The Berlin Sons of Veterans formed an escort to the members of the G. A.

Automobile accidents af a minor character were common in Berlin Saturday and yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Myers of Boston were stranded in Worthington over Sun- day. They were enroute to New York and Saturday morning while passing through the village the rear axle of their car broke in front of A. B. Goodrich’s place. Mr. Myers worked all day Saturday in an attempt to re- pair his car, but finding it impassible telegraphed to Springfield for a new axle. Owing to some error on the part of the express company the axle did not arrive and this morning 'the car was still stranded on the street. Mr. and Mrs. Myers Spent Sunday with Mrs, George H. Gray, Anather automobile broke down this morning opposite the fair grounds, The owner telephoned to New._ Britain for help and finally was able to proceed when a traveling jack was placed under the rear axle. Carriage Hit by Car.

The wheel was demolished, putting the carriage out of cammission, but the owner of the Packard stopped and took Miss Matsen and her mother to their home in East Berlin. Notes. J. T.

DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 29, 1916. Plainvifllle News | AUTO UPKEEP HIGH, R.F.D. MANRESIGNS Carrier Morey ths Postofice Alter Several Years GASOLINE T00 EXPENSIVE Compensation Not Sufficient, Con- sidering the Cost of Operating Car —“Vets” Ready for Memorial Day —Neal’s Condition Unchanged. Increases in the cost of gasoline | have caused Rupert S, Morey to ar- rive at the conclusion that the rural | carrier’s position in Plainville is not sufficiently lucrative to warrant the rejection of tempting offers made for labor by manufacturing concerns and he has tendered his resignation ta Postmaster P. J. Prior to take effect | cn June 10, Mr, Morey is determined to give up the place and he plans to devote his time to the machinist | trade. Mr. Morey has been serving patrons of the post office in the outlying dis- tricts for a number of years and Postmaster Prior accepted his resig- nation with considerable reluctance. The carrier does not believe the com- pensation paid by the government is stufficient under the existing con- ditlons, the advanced price of gaso- line making the operation of an au- tomobile too expensive for a man working at the salary paid to the rural postman in Plainville. The postmaster is in samething of a quandary as to what to do regard- ing the filling of the position. Frank Radcliffe, who seved as substitute for some time, resigned when the route was changed recently and his place has not since been filled. The Dostmaster delayed making an ap- bointment as the government ad- vanced the time for putting the changes into operation until July 1 and he thought it possible Mr. cliff might reconsider. Under the present conditions the Tural carrier covers appraximately twenty-three miles a day. He is paid $1,152 a year for his services but has to furnish his own automobile. The change proposed by the postal de. partment will increase the mileage ta twenty-seven' miles and $100 will be added to the carrier’s salary, The carrier's pay is determined by thé number of miles he has to drive and seemingly there is no Dossibility of getting an increase for the local man. When gasoline was selling at 5 normal cost, the position was worth while. The carrier begins his quties at 7 o’clock in the morning and in- varfably has his route covered by 1 o’clock, when he is through for the day. Mr. Marey declares that it costs too much to run an auto at the gasoline Irices now prevailing to make the Dplace profitable. He is a machinist by trade, anyway, and at the present time the services of men of his craft are in such demand that fancy salaries are being offered them. Mr. Morey’s successor will be chosen fram a civil service list and candidates will have to take the usual examination. Unless the list is ready by the time Mr. Morey leaves, the postmaster will make a tem- porary appointment. Memorial Day Plans. Memorial Day will be .observed in Plainville tamorrow in the usual manner. There will be a general suspension of business. Some of the stores will be opened for a time in the morning for the accommodation of the trade, and the past office will no close until noon although there will be no rural carrier service. The barber shops will be’open until 11 o’clock tonight, closing for Memoria] Day. Members of Newton Manrosg Post, G. A. Rl and its auxiliaries will have the usual exercises in honor of the memary of the deceased veterans, In the morning at 8:30, the Veterans, members of the Relief corps, Sons of Veterans and the school children will assemble at the Town hall, With R, C. Usher as marshal the line will form on Pierce street. The partici- ants, led by the Eureka Drum corps, will then praceed to Broad street, to “r;intlng to the soldiers’ monument, where appropriate exer: ma prop: cises will be There will be reading of memorial orders by Adjutant Ralph R, Roberts, the G. A. R. service by CommarILIEI J. Fayette Douglass; prayer by R. C. Usher and words of sentfment by Willlam H. Relyea, patriatic instrue- tor of the post. Lincoln’s Gettysburg address will be read by Meyer Snider- Rad- held by Naugatuck T. A. B. saclety. Postmaster Henry L. Porter of Berlin is reported as much improved and will probably resume his duties within a week. It is reported that a number of brick workers left town since Satur- day bound for mare lucrative fields of labor. Owing to scarcity of labor it is sald a number of workers have been shifted to other brick yards. Rev. Richard L. Swain, the lecturer, is stopping with Mr, and Mrs. George L. Stearns on Robbins Road.
