Beriin News MEMORIAL DAY GREATEST INBERLIN " Finest Parade in History of 0ld Town [CONG. REILLY'S ORATION Melectman Gibney Marshal in Absence Colonel Jarvis—Dr. Lectures Draw Large Audiences— St. Paul’s Minstrels, of Swain’s Berlin had the greatest Memorial Day observence yesterday in the his- tory of the ald town. Residents of 111 sections of the town are talking about it today and from present indi- cations it will be a subject of con- versation for many days to come. . There'was a fine parade and the ad- dress at the Kensington Congrega- tional church by ex-Congressman Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden is said by all to have been the finest Memo- rial Day oration ever delivered in the MARSHAL W, H, of Berlin. Selectman . Gibney, who was chairman of the Memorial Day committee, was mar- shal of the parade in the absence of Colonel arles M. Jarvis, who was compelled to forego this honor on account of a special meeting of the directo: of the State Agricultural eociety at the capitol. The parade formed at the ~in Kensington about 1:30 o’clock, shortly after returning from Beckley, where Memarial Day exercises were carried out at the Beckley cemetery. St. Paul's T. A. B. drum corps headed the marchers followed by £l members of the Sons of Veterans. Then came the Berlin Boy Scouts, numbering thirty and a large celegation of Berlin schoal children. The Berlin veterans of the Civil war came in automobiles and at the close in a carriage rode William Luby, Lresident of the Berlin Veterans' as- GIBNEY. H. town W, square jpociation, Judge George G. Griswold, | decorations for many years, | scouts enjoyed a ex-Congressman Thomas L. Reilly, the orator of tho day. William H. Gibney was marshal of the parade, Rev. Fiske was in charge of the Boy outs, H. H. Damon, captain of the Sans of Veterans and E. I. Clarke, captain of the G. A. R. veterans. A large company of peaple was gathered near the monument at the Congregational church to meet the marching line led by the band, and including tne speaker of the day, | Hon. Thomas L. Reilly, the veterans, | sons of veterans, boy scouts and | school children, They completely | encircled the monument. Prayer was | offered by Rev. Carleton Hazen and 2. song was sung by the school chil- dren. Then the floral tributes were | placed about the monument. The veterans and sons repaired to the dining Tooms of the church, where a bountiful dinner was served by the Kensington ladies from all the churches. At the same time the boy luncheon on the lawn in the shade of the church. Afterward the line was reformed to enter the church accompanied by Chopin’s funeral march upon organ and piano. The old church was filled to its capacity, including the galleries that are rarely used now- ada; Judge George G. Griswold was the presiding officer. The entire assemblage sang “America.” Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr, Lounsbury, pastar of the M. E. church. The choir sang, “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies.” Lincoln’s Gettysburg ad- dress was spoken by Robert Ritchie and at the close he received a round | of applause. The school children sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” Rose Kiniry gave a recitation, “How Did You Die?” Congressman Reilly's Address. The Hon. Thomas L. Reilly, of | Meriden, delivered an interesting and | inspiring address. He referred to the | manner in which the townspeople are | perpetuating the record of fifty-three ears ago, when the simple shaft that ands just outside the church was | dedicated. The distinction of being | the first in such a memorial, the | speaker geclared, a much larger | community might well be proud of. | Until the war broke out beyond the | seas, we could say that the war of '61-’65 was the greatest the world cver knew. No ane knows what they zre fighting for now. But with those who partook in our civil strife, a c1eat principle was at stake. There is compensation in having a great principle. Our country is the one great | power at peace with the warld today. Ciod direct our president in pre- scrving peace with honor! Prepared- ness depends not so much upon great 2rmies or navies as upon individual character. If we are just and honest, maintaining the square deal, our nation will be preserved. . A village, town or nation is no better than the individuals _ composing it. The trenches that can never be taken are in the hearts of men that stand for what is true. The descendants of those who came over in the Mayflower and landed at Plymouth Rock are not real Amer- jcans, unless they cherish deep down in their hearts and high up in their heads the principles and ideals of the nation. You are true Americans when you stand true to that allegiance. If you cease to do that, you are coun- terfeit Americans and the American people do not like counterfeits, The dwindling nk of the Grand Army call to the sons or descendants the duty you owe to them. You have pald your full tribute to the memory of the heroic dead, in memorial and There {he may be will have to be rignt. | President of the Sons of veterans, and |is a duty to the citizens who are Iiv- ing, to keep in constant reminder of love of country and loyalty to her wel- fare. A test of real Americanism at hand in the election of a president. Of whatever party the next president shall be, the people will be loyal to him as our president. As long as vou are right, the president whoever 2 some of us are natives of other lands. love for fatherland must not and shall not interfere with devotion to this our country. The speaker concluded his address by reciting “Your flag and my flag and how it floats today.” The choir then sang, “O Lord our God, thy mighty hand hath made our country free,” and the exercises w concluded. Swain’s Lectures Fascinating, is Those who are following the course of lectures by Rev. Richard L. $wain, Ph.D., are finding them very fascinat- ing and stimulating. They are deal- ing with fundamental religious ideas, stated in new and attractive The subject of fthe lecture Methodist church last evening “Does God Have a Body?” The pre- ceding lectures have presented the im- minence of God, the universe being the instrument of his spirit. God has clothed himself with/the universe. But there is a sense in which God has a human form, speaks in human lan- guage, and we can meet him face to face. God has made every human body for himself as much as for us. The speaker said that he first met the God that created the world in his mother, whose heart.and will had be- come like God. If God was not in her, then there is no God. When Clara Barton at the impulse of God went on the battle field for her noble humanitarian work, which is now or- ganized in the Red Cross, God went on the battle field as much as Clara Barton. Jesus was both God and man. Jesus was the only normal man in the world, the only man who was up to the highest capacity of our nature. He was completely united with the loving, rational will of the Farther. And God becomes perfectly expressed in human form nful men kiiled Jesus, and when Jesus died, God was dead, so far peaking through Jesus in human form in the earth. We can never be satisfied, and God cannot, until we become like Jesus. The life of not one only, but all our lives together are meant to be a beautiful revelation and manifesta- tion of God. No man can find his full capacities until he finds God and is inspired by him. If man turns away from God, he turns from his best self. If it had been possible for man to be without sin, every human being would have been a God-man, a perfect image and expression of God. Tonight’s Lecture. This evening and Thursday even- ing the lectures are to be continued, but in the Congregational church, promptly at 7:45 o'clock. The sub- ject for this evening is :“Losing the Bible to Find It.” Questions: “How Can we know that any of the Bible is trrue if it contains errors?” “How may one find the infallible truth con- tained in the Scriptures?” Big Snapper Caught. e Spindler. who lives on the wamp road, receptly caught a napping turtle in/Hart's upper The reptile is /deseribed by forms. the was in Geor; Beach large pond. George as being bigger than a barrel and, ih fact, is reported to have a bead larger than the owner. The turtle is at present a prisoner in an extra large pork barrel, and George Is $1,152 a year and if the proposed change in the route becomes effective the mileage he will have to cover daily will be increased. to twenty- seven miles and the salary will be made $1,252. The position of substitute rural car- rier is now vacant, Frank Radcliff having resigned some time ago, and unless the department at Washington permits of Mr, Cassidy’s appointment, examination for a list of eligibles will have to be called for. In all prob- ability this could not be arranged be- fore June 10 and a temporary selec- tion would probably have to be made. Name Committees Later. Owing to the absence from ‘:own of John H. Trumbull, the new presi- dent of the Business and Tmprov ment association, it is probable that appointments to the various commit- tees of the organization will not be made at the June meeting of the board of directors scheduled for tomorrow night. Mr. Trumbull returned a few davs ago from a fishing trip in Maine but subsequently left for Chicago on business. Before returning he will attend an outing of the New York Gun club to be held in New Je and he may not get back to Plain- ville before Sunday. The committees which have active in the associations intere: for the past year have given splendid sat- isfaction and it is not expected that many changes will be made. Veterans Grateful. Members of Newton Manross post, G. A. R., today expressed their ap- preciation of the co-operation of ihe townspeople in the annual observance of Memorial Day sterday. The vet- erans were particularly grateful to autoists who loaned their machines to cover the old soldiers over the line of march in both Plainville and For- estville. Manross post has but few remain- ing members. With one or two ex- ceptions they all took part in the exer- cises In honor of the memory of their departed comrades yesterday report that there was seemingly un- usual interest in the exercises and the townspeople entered into the observ- ance of the day with a spirit that was highly gratifying to them. Greene-Liyons Wedding. The marriage of William Greene of this place and Miss Elizabeth Lyons of Farmington was solemnized this morning at 8 o'clock in St. Patrick’s church in that village. A nuptial high mass was celebrated by Rev. W. P. Kilcoyne, who also performed the ceremony. After the wedding there was a re- ception to immediate relatives at the home of the bride’'s mother. The been promising his friends a banquet with turtle soup as the piece de resis St. Paul’s Minstrels. Kensington residents are promised an entertainment worth going miles to see at St. Paul’s hall tomorrow eve- ning when the St. Paul's minstrel troupe, composed of both sexes, will perform. . During the past year the St. Paul’s minstrels have provided en- tertainment both in and out of town, and their work has won much com- mendation, but tomorrow night they promise to surpass all previous rec- ords. Notes. Postmaster H. L. Porter has re- covered from his recent illness and has once more resumed his duties at the Berlin post office. B Fenn Nourse, Mi Izah Dunham and a number of other Worthington young people composed a fishing party which journeyed to the head- waters of the Farmingtom river yes- terday. They report a fine time, but the fishing was not of the best. Colonel Charles M. Jarvis ywill be- gin harvesting his crop of alfalfa and hay next Monday. Colon Jarvis reports the ffmest forage crops many years. Advertised letters at the Berlin post office mention the names of Mrs. in Mary Brignano, Amos Collins and Charles Johnson, - ad ry couple will live in Washington street after their honeymoon. Rockwell to Live Here. Walter S. Rockwell, one of the of- ficers of the Rockwell-Drake corpora- tion, is making plans to move to Plain- ville, where he will make his home. He will reside on East street. The company’s plant is now practi- cally in full swing. Employes of the Hartford branch have been transfer- red to the local factory and the com- pany is daily hiring additional hands. Can’t Get Help. Plainville manufacturers are ex- periencing considerable difficulty in getting help for their plants and they admit that in many departments they are handicapped because of the scar- city of labor. Keeping new help seems to be the greatest difficulty, Labor is in such demand that men give up their places on slight provocation. Foreigners seem particularly hard to deal with. They are hired in the morning and sometimes quit the same day with- out giving any notice or assigning a reason. The head of a department in one ot the lacal shops traced one of the “floaters” who had worked a full week recently, although he had three different jobs. He worked two days in a Plainville shop, quit without warning, gave up two more days to a Bristol shop and was employed the remaining two in Hartford. The factories are all compelled to pay higher wages than ever before and the owners are finding the labor prob- lem to be one of the most difficult they have to deal with. Rev. E. B. Cross to Speak. Rev. E. B. Cross, Ph D, pastor of thé Baptist church in New Britain will give an address at the local church of that denomination tonight at 7:45 Dr. Cross will speak on “Recollections of My Boyhood in Burma. Dr. Cross is an interesting speaker a large audience present to hear him. The public is invited to attend. Brief Items. Holy communion will be celebrated at the Ascension Day service in the Church of Our Savior tomorrow morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Jones will leave tomorrow for Detroit, Mich., where they will spend several days with rela- tives. Harry Simpson has resigned his place with the Plainville Baking com- pany and is now associated with his brother, James Simpson, in the lat- ter’'s grocery store. A few tools and a coat belonging to Lewis Mowray was stolen from Mrs. N. D. Kalish’'s garage bp thieves who broke into the place last night. Sister Mary Bernard, a nun in convent at Parkville, was succe: operated on Monda hospital. Before taking the vow: the and it is expected that there will be | [ ter Bernard was Miss Catherine Mc- Carthy of this place. Business with the Bristol and Plain- ville Tramway company was extremely heavy yesterday. large Compounce- bound crowds overtaxing the capacity of the cars on the local line. The ser- vice was not up to the company’s standard, the management failing to proyide anywhere near the number of cars required to carry the patrons with any degree of comfort.
