Pacek admitted having given his wife a beating, and was locked up. According to thg wife's story, her | husband came home Saturday after- | influence of liguor. him for spending his foolishly and asked him for what mained of his pay. He took some bills out of his pocket and siap- ping her in the face with the money told her she might smell of it, but that was all. When she cried, he pick- ed up the strap and struck both her | and the child. Pacek told the court he had been ! drinking and didn't know what he | was doing. | Tells Pathetic Tale John Stoliski told a pathetic story when he was arraigned on a .charge of stealing a bicycle, valued at $15 the property of Paola Neri. He ex- plained that he had been out of work for seven monthe; the rent has not been patd for twomonths, and his wife and two children were at home crying for something to cat while he has not the wherewithal to provide it Appeals to the board of public charities have been productive of no reliel, he ex- | vlalned to the court, so he decided that the only way to provide his wife and children with the necessities of life was to steal. Accordingly, he took the bicycle. While making an effort to dispose of it in Hartford, he was nabbed by the authorities and Ser- geant A. J. Richardson brought him back to this oity for trial Stoliski explained that it was the first time he hyl ever been arrested. He wept bitterly as he recited the pathetic tale of home conditions and | how appeals at City Hall had brought | no more relief than a promise of aid which did not materialize. Judge Klett warned the accused that a condition of unemployment was not enough to legalize theft. He feit however, that punishment in any form would be. to inflict a hardship on the family, The case was continued on probation until May 2. Jitney Man Fined | A fine of $5 was imposed upon Charlos Durr, a jitney driver, for park- fug & car in front of an alley-way. | Pollceman Clarence Lamphere notified the driver to appear in court Satur- day afternoon after his vehicle had tied up trafllc on Main street, opposite Court street Louls Morganztein, proprietor of an auto salesroom in Waterbury, permit- | ted a friend to use a set of his dealer’s markers Saturday to get to the Unit- od States court at Hartford, in time for the trial of his liquor charge. To be late for court would mean the for. teiture of a $500 bond, the friend ex- plained. The accused sald he was not aware that dealers’ markers of the type he had purchased, could not be used on a motorcycle. John O'Brien and Harry Landgren, both of whom are carpenters, were eating in a lunch.cart near the rail- road tracks on Main street early Sun- day morning when someone brought up the question of how many shingles a man can place in an hour. The two men started to tell of their re- gpective abilities in that line with the result that a heated argument arose in the course of which someone pushed a window through. , Police- men John Kennedy and Thomas Stor- ey ran into the lunch-cart and placed both under arrest on charges of breach of the peace. Each was fined 85 \withou: costs. After drawing down a fine of $15 and costs for assaulting Mrs. James Potts, Peter Notofski Was ordered down to the cell-room to sober up this morning. The accused refused to keep quiet when warned to do so by Prosecutor Albert A. Greenberg. Policeman Charles '‘Anderson was called to the Potts home on Broad street Saturday night to break up a noisy party. He was Informed that the accused had struck Mrs. Potts in the eye. The woman's optic was | greatly swollen at the time, he testi- fled. The accused was visiting, he said, when the woman began to throw shoes and bottles about the house. He told the court that he took no active part in the melee, being only among those present. Policeman Frank Parker happened in on a row on Lawlor street Satur- day night in which about a dozen young men were participating and collared three of the disturbers. In court today, Louis Prelatino and Harry Medvick were charged with as- | saulting Jacob Machuki, who himself was one of those arrested Saturday. Machuki could identify neither of the young men as the ones who struck him although he was sure they wers in the crowd. The boys were warned noon under the She wscolded money by the court to keep out of trouble | | in the future, and were discharged. Thomas Scorak's wife drew $1,000 out of the bank a few weeks ago, which, with $600 of Scorak’s personal funds, was appropriated for the pur- chase of a store on Lafayette street. | SBunday morning, Sergeant W. C. Hart | visited the ‘place and found evidence | ot whiskey sales. The accused was fined $150 and costs this morning for having liquor on hand with intent to | sell. | Business Poor, So— | The accused explained that busi- | ness was poor and that a New Haven salesman recommended that he pur- chase a gallon of whiskey, either to sell for 30 cents a drink or to give to his customers, gratis. He decided | to buy for the latter purpose, he told the court. The former owner of the place was convicted on a liquor count last month.

This loyalty acknowledges all the personal claims of Jesus. Ot course his claims that are preserved in writing, are found in the New Testament, and it is our business as His followers to find out what they are. Did he claim to be the Son of Man? Then I will accept Him as the ideal man, since His life convinces me 0. Did He“claim to be the Son of God ? “Then 1 will adore Him as thq re- yealer of the divine character, finding in Him a full satisfaction for all the; aspirations in my soul. A loyalty which doubts or denies the claims of Jesus Christ, as those claims are stat- ed In the New Testament, is not gen- uinely Christian. The thorough loy- alty of heart which Christ demands, says with Peter, ‘Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” He bows before Him in holy reverence and says ‘with Thomas, ‘My Lord and my God.” “2. Loyalty will accept all that Christ offers us. He offered men one thing, and it is summed up in one great word. Some men take the Bible to try to find a system of government for the church, some to find a system of philosophy and theology, and some find a system.of social order, but all these men'are disappointed. .Jesus Christ did not come to offer men sys- tems of government or sociological formulas. He refused to be limited by a single sphere of life, because he proposed to dominate all, by filling them with life. It Christ offered men. said, ‘that they might have life, that they might have it more abund- antly’ No man has received Christ's offer until he has received the 1life which He only can give. 1 do mnot care how orthodox a person may be, 1 do not care how well-informed he may be, [ do not care how zealously even he works In the church, if he has not received life, he has not'yet received Christ's great offer to men. “3. Loyalty to Christ will mani fest itself in a life of perfect obedi- ence. Christian life weakens through disobedience to the divine will, just as a chain loses its strong function when several links or rings here and there are broken. Did Jesus say, “Take up vour cross and follow me?’ Loyalty demands of you to be faith- ful to the end, no matter how press- ing and heavy your cross may be. Did He say, '‘Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in?' Loyalty should make you restless and uneasy until you do all you can for the salvation of your neighbor. Did He say, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature?’ If I am loval, I must go. Probably not very far trom my own home. I will go in spirit, in ' devotion, in service and. sacrifice. | This is the loyalty which He is ask- l ing for today. . Finally loyalty will manifes. Ii!self in the ircarnation of Christ’ spirit. St. Paul states it more beauti- fully and more pointedly than I can, when. he says: ‘If any man has not the spirit of Christ he is none of His.’ And this spirit is not unknown to us. All his perfect submission, his faith- ful service and his unconditional sac- rifice, were permeated, saturated ana dominated by the spirit of love. “A loyalty of heart which will ac- cept all His claims, obey all His com- mands cheerfully, receive all that He offers, and incarnate his spirit, this is the supreme demand upon all who profess Christian religion, whether in- dividuals or nations. Disloyal Chris- tians are the greatest obstacles for the establishment of the Kingdom of \ God on earth. Christianity is fa: more than simply a well-ordered mor- al life. It is gospel truth inwrought by the Holy Spirit into the life, so that it becomes a vital principle ot thought, or purpose and action. This is the life loyalty that constitutes one a Christian. Creeds are no more Christianity than Euclid is mathe- matics, or botany, plant life. A man may subscribe to the best and fullest creed, and yvet not be a Christian. “Just before His ascension into Heaven. Jesus asked Peter thrice this significant and pointed question: ‘Lovest thou Me?' It was a test of loyalty. Your Christian loyalty fs tested today with the same question from the Great Master. What shali your answer be?” Jesus . Christ. to Jesus, in Christian, four ways: true CURLEY’S ORCH. Tabs’ Hall--Tonight KNOW HIM? | | | 1 { memorandum slip found | cap of the dead policeman.
