This sec- tion of the town now enjoys many city improvements such as frequent train and trolley service, gas and electric lights. An adequate water service is one of the things now sought and un- der a borough charter it would not be difficult to obtain. It would be possible to organize a local water department or, better, secure such service from New Britain borough agitation it should be re- marked that Worthington has possessed a borough charter, but has exercised the privileges that would naturally follow. Tt is believed that when Kensington gets ready to adopt horough government Worth- ington will quickly follow suit and between the two boroughs some ar- rangement will bhe made for improv- Ing the connecting highway. Dr. Swain On The Bible. Last evening Rev. Richard L. Swain, Ph.D., delivered the fifth lecture of the series in the Congregational church. It is impossible to give in brief any adequate report of tha wealth of interesting facts and con- siderations presented under the litle “Losing the Bible to Find It.” The lecturer first gave an {llustra- tion designated to sum up some of e ldeas of former lectures. He d that one evening he overheard his little girl say to her brother, “We can kiss God.” The brother said, “No, you couldn’t kiss God. God everywhere. God is in you and me.” The sister answered, “If God is in you and in me and we kiss one another, we shall kiss God.” This only saying in a child’s way, “Tf a man love not his brother whom he is expressed. be necessary yer hath seen, how can he love God whom | he hath not seen.” The Bible the most remarkable collection of relizious literature in world Ve find od in the Bible | religlon of the Bible | though | considerable detail | the various laws contained perhaps | In connection with this | long | is | in | and Jesus, and help for all manner of human needs. Something of the mind of God has been known in all nations. Other natlons of antiquity had their Bibles or books or religious literature. ~ Comparison of the first chapter of Genesis with the Baby- lonian account of creation shows the wonderful superiority of the biblical account. There are striking resemblances, in the order of the days of creation. Both contain many crude ideas, as judged by our knowledge for example the firmament, which was conceived as a dome over the earth to keep the wat- ers above, which came down in rain when the windows of heaven ere opened. The Babylonian Gods were immoral and fighting one another. But the Bible simply and wonderfully states, “God said, Let there he light,” and so on, declaring that every thing proceeds from the will of God, as we believe. The Bible is mostly error, | so far as science is concerned; hut the ! is exceedingiy zood. It is foolish to try to reconcile | the science of the Bible with modern science. That religion, { | | the Bible can rizhtly teach even through faulty scien- tifically, is illustrated by reference to the lecturer's experience. At ane time he preached a sermon, making use of electricity for illustration. Aft- | erward his boy told him that he had made a mistake In regard to some electrical fact. But the truth of re- | ligion had been rightly taught, even | some of the audience may have been aware of the sclentlfic blunder. The lecturer continued to treat in different parts of the Bible, showing how religious and moral truth was effectively taught, even though involved with various crude and erroneous ideas. Thus he explained the story of the Garden of Fden, marvelously teaching concern- ing sin; then touched upon some of in the Penteteuch, the system of sacrifices, Abraham’s offering his son Tsaac; the drama of Job, shawing that suffering is no proof that one has sinned, and that often we must trust God where we cannot understand his ways; the Psalms, the most worshipful part of the Bible, but containing portions such as the imprecatary Psalms that are not to be compared with such a | hvmn as Dr. Gladden’s, “O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee;” the Prophets, with their impressive moral and religious teachings. The Book | of Jonah was explained as designed | to picture the littleness and narrow- | ness of the Israelites, who did not want God to save the beathen world. The Book of Revelation was designed | to glve comfort and courage to the Christlans in times of tribulation and | ereat darkness, through the assured | ultimate triumph of God's kingdom. ! | It does not give any detailed pro- | gram of world history that can be applied to past, present or future con- ditions. Closing Lecture, The last lecture of the series will be delivered in the Congregational church this evening at 7:45 o’clock. The subject is “Losing the Sense of Immortality.” Questlans: “Why are <o many people losing their assur- | ance of immortality?” “Does this | ioss make much difference if they live | as they should in this life?"” Doubt- | less this will be one of the mast in- | teresting of the series, the climax and completion of the truths that | have been presented in the course. | Everybody Is invited to share this privilege.

Inasmuch as this represents the finale of the year's work, the ! teachers have madc an effort ta} secure talent fine enough to warrant | iheir knowing ultimate success. Miss Emily Alice O'Keefe, under whose direction was produced the English interlude in the very wonder- ful pageant of Percy MacKaye's Masque “‘Caliban,” arranged in cele- bration of the Shalkespearian Tercen- {enary in the Stadium of the Callege of the City of New York, and four other dancers are glving their skill to ithe evening. M Laura Farrell of New Britain has very generously siven her finely trained voice to the children’s evening, and Miss Nellie McKeon, of Kensington, has promised them a bit of real musical crash in Scharwenka's “Polish Dance.” Some sixteen children from rooms seven and eight are going to present dances, as prepared for New Haven recently, a few schoal selec- tions, a song or two, and a fine time. Mrs. Carleton Hazen, Miss Helen Cowles and Miss L. Adele Bassett will sing “The Flowery Month of June,” and the “Greeting” will be extended by someone of room seven. The business arrangements are the hands of the principal, Mrs All the teachers are work- ing hard that a decently large sum may be raised for the league’s needs. An out-of-doors party is to be given in June with part of the pro- | ceeds, to which the entire working | membership of the scheol, with their small brothers and sisters as guests, are bidden. All are bidden to come to the “Evening’s Glad.” Limousine in Trouble. A big limousine owned by a Brook- Jyn man became mired on Kensington road a short distance below Cowles’ store this morning and aid had to be | secured from New Britain to haul it | out. The Brooklyn man, who was re- turning to New York after a tour of | the New England states, decided he | had taken the wrong road after Pro- ceeding a short distance and in at- tempting to turn around on the twelve | foot highway backed down the em- bankment into the swamp. It was the first accident he had sustained on the journey and it required both ef- fort and money to pull the big car out of the mire. Kicked By Horse, Frederick H. Crane, a resident of | the Blue Hills ction, suffered a broken rib last evening when he was kicked by his driving horse. The acci- dent happened in the barn. The horse had a loose shoe and in attempting to fasten it again, Mr. Crane dropped the hammer. The tool in falling struck the horse on the leg and the animal struck out viciously with the result that Mr. Crane was rendered unconscious. Dr. Matthew H. Gri wold was called and attended the in- jured man. Dinner to Bridal Couple. Harold Clark gave a dinner at his home in East Berlin Monday night in honor of George DeMore and Miss Hope Lawrence, who are soon to be married. The dinner was attended by close friends of the young couple and proved a most delightful affair. Military Whist Successful. | The military whist and dance given in Grange hall last evening by the Berlin Village Improvement societ was well patronized and netted the so- | clety about $12.

There have been several delay: however, and the club is seemingly no nearer a reality than it was wecks ago. The matter of filling the va- cancy on the committee has heen tak- en up with the leaders of the move- ment for forming the club and 15 expected that they will get soon to make possible the preparation of the by-laws. After the splendid start given the plan and the general interest taken in it by the men of the town and the boys themselves, it would he unfor- tunate if the development of the idea was retarded. The town fore made an attempt to do anvthing for its boys and the original leaders of the movement are hopeful that their efforts will not prove unsucee: ful. Some of them have becom somewhat discouraged over the failure of the plans to develop with the speed | originally expected but they consider the opportunities for eventual cess still numerous. Gives Interesting Lecture. Rev. E. B. Cross, Ph. D., of New Britain gave a most instructive lecture last evening in the Baptist church on life in Burmah. The preacher spent his boyhood in that country and his Tecollections of the place itself its people proved most interesting to a good sized congregation. The speaker graphicall ribed the country and paid considerahle at- tention to the efforts of missionsries to Christianize the natives Farmers Encouraged.
