In his ermon, Dr. Cross will impress upon is congregation the keener sense of g spiritual worth of all things in all whases of life, in contrast to the old time idea that God was more domi nant in the churches alone.

D. Campbell Tells Convention Shirkers Ifave No Place on This Tarth and Tells Modern Fable, D. Campbell, M. A. who spe: chairman of the in the Congo, at the this and mission at the convention Peoples church, Court streot, i afternoon at 2 o'clock, is rather an original speaker. Last night, in an impassioned address on missions, he got after the ‘“shirkers,” aclers,” “quitters,” something after this fashion: 'What are you a Christian for, if you are not a missionary? What are you living for? What right have you to be alive on the earth? You don't belong down here! You belong up there, playing a harp. You seem to like an easy job; you belong up there. “You have read Aesop's fables. Well, this is not one of them. A mule and an ox were yoke-fellows plowing the field of a good farmer. One day the ox got lazy, and next day decided to stay in his stall. The mule returned at night, weary with the double work of the day, and the | ox lay there in the stall chewing his cud. He said to the mule, who was running I nose into the hay and the gral ‘Did Master say anything about me today?’ Between chews, the hungry mule answered, ‘Nope!’ “Next night, the mule came in more tired than before with the double duty. Again the ox, lying lazily there in the stall, asked: ‘Did Master say anything about me today?’ ‘Nope!” said the mule, more impatient than before. RBut this time the ox thought he had a pretty soft job. Next night he repeated his question; and the next. On the fifth night, when the tired mule was eating as before, he asked again: ‘Did the Master say anything about me today?’ The mule stopped chewing, turned toward the ox a sly glance out of the corner of his eye and said: ‘Nope, Master didn’t say anything about you to me; but I heard -him call up the butcher and talk about you.” The speaker did not have to draw the moral.

R. Situation Cause. for Panic Middletown, Oct. 26.—The need of co-operation between the state body and local Chambers of merce was emphasized by A. Pease of Hartford, the Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce, in his annual report here to- day. He pointed out that while indi- vidual Chambers could accomplish much for benefit of their communities “the co-operation of these separate | units, through such an organizaton as 1his accomplishes in many directions that which could not be done by in- dividual action.” Referring to legislation he said that perhaps the most important matter that had to be taken up in the legis- lature of 1915 was the question of state finances. He continued: “For the providing of revenue suf- ficient to meet its expenses, new taxes were Jaid, some in a manner never undertaken by any other common- vrealth. It was especially provided that some of these should be tried out for two years and the matter brought up again in the session of 1917. To study the working of these laws in the interim is manifestly both desirable and necessary. A commit- tee of able men, appointed for the purpose, has called into conference | with it representatives of all the in- terests subject to state taxation. These s enthusiastically fell in with the proposition, both in the direction of advice and consultation, and In the sharing of the expense and for some months experts have been working on this question. If the outcome of this shall be that a scheme can be brought forth, which has the reasonable ac- quiescence of the interests involved and presented to the next general as- sembly as a plan likely to raise the revenue necessary for the expenses of the state, what an improvement it will be to having the subject debated, with bitterness perhaps, in committee hearngs next year.” The speaker said that such an ob- ject could well command the interest of every Chamber of Commerce and {added that many other questions raight be taken up the same, way in- cluding that of pollution of streams. The Freight Situation. Taking up the freight stuation Mr. Pease said that the co-operation be- tween carriers and shippers would do much to lessen the difficulties. He reviewed briefly the recently congest- ¢d conditions of freight. the steps taken to relieve the situation and con- tinued: “Temporarily relieved to some ex- tent, everyone is looking forward to worse trouble the coming winter. It is no time, however, for a panicky state of mind to exist. The prudent man will no doubt order his sup- plies further ahead than is his wont, but quite frequently it occurs that which everyons expects does not hap- pen, and the ruthless piling up of orders for supplies may defeat the very end sought. Enlargement of their facilities as to irack room, equipment and supplies by the carriers, and mcy> prompt un- loading by consignees were urged by the speaker as means of solving the question of congestion. “Clo-operation is what is needed, not fault finding and recrimmation,” he said. Three new chambers affiliated with the state organization during the vear, he said, those of Sharon. Kent and Wallingford, making a total of thirty-seven locals now affiliated with the state body. Mr. Pease then reviewed briefly the sctivities of the various local organ- izations. Credit ratings books, he said, had been issued in New London, Bridgeport, and New Haven; Meriden, Winsted and Middletowsn had spon- sored “dollar days” and Plainville and Bristol had given special atten- tion to housing conditions, Com- Charles president of Don’t forget Court Charter fair at Turner Fri.
