HAVE |5 CHANGED GREATLY Biblical Leader Relused Brib, s Clrgymay As a part of the general educational campaign which the Protestant churches .are _conducting between March 4 and 18, Dr. David G. Downey of New York snoke at the Mcthodist church service last eve- ning. In the course of his talk Dr. Downey advertantly made a mild at- tack upon some classes of politicians @s in other religious states. Dr. Downey was formerly the gen- eral secretary of:the M dist Sun- day schools and in his talk dwelt en- tirely on the relation’ of the Sunday school to, religioh as in reference to the young people. Br. Downey de- ¢lared that this is the age of activity when the world demands that things be accomplished and, he said, it is “gur young folk who are doing this.” In this connection the ‘speaker said the only correct way to instill last- ing and effectual religion into the voung people is through the Sunday school. Their rsllglouu . teaching should not make them nalmw either, he said: If their religfon is not strong enough so that they can go out. into the world and retain it it i8 not worth anything. Dr. Downey advocated the, teaching of r‘)lg!on to the young: folk through‘the Sunday school, not; with the idea that it meant they must do certain things and must:not do certain others, but With ‘the ultl- mate aim of making them better men and women so that when they do into the world and, mingle with men will Be stronger &nd th whom they wiit they | come in. contact.

Whose ox have I taken, or whom have 1 defrauded. Whom have T oppressed or of whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind mine eves therewith? ” The speaker then jumped tempor- arily to the present day and remarked how good it would be if all politi- cians in Connecticut could go before the ‘people and honestly siy, “of whose hand ‘have I taken a bribe to BHlind mine eyes.” The entire eon- gregation saw the point.” MUCH LIKE BALAKLAVA Mad Dogs to the Right, Left and in Front According to Reports Made to Police. sreltect leader, lcnlly Quickly following the edict relative to the muzzling of dogs, numerous cémplaints have been recgived by the police relative to 1nimals suspected of being afflicted wiih rabies.
