Plainville, Feb, 7.—DPassage in the Bible in which, he said, present day inventions known as the telephone, moving pictures and the radio were, foretold, were quoted last night by Rev, T. E. Glendenning, an evangelist from Burr Oak, fowa, who is con- ducting a campaign at the Advent Christian church, and his explanations and conceptions of the texts which he quoted were eagerly listened to by a large congregation. Rev. Glendenning quoted texts from the Bible which have been known to many, but his interpretation of them came as a revelation to all who heard him. The first which he quoted was taken from the book of Isaiah 2:16 wherein God speaks of the coming judgment and says in an ex- cerpt of His revelations that “It shalr come upon all pleasant pictures.” Evangelist Glendenning stated thav past have always associated this text with ordinary pictures, because pictures at that time gave no motion, but only the idea of motion. In the present time, it can be seen that the words of the text are closely asso- ciated with the present day moving pictures, for they contaln motion and not the idea, he said. Passing from this, the evangelist said that the telephone was predictoa in the passage from Habakkuk 2:11, wherein it is said: “For the stone shall ery out of the wall, and the beam (fastening) out of the timber shall answer it.” Evangelist Glenden- ning stated that this text can be ap- plied to the telephone, because it is fastened in the wall, and people go, as it were ,to the stone or timber, talk and receive an answer, In Job 38:35, is found the passage, | “Canst thou send lightnings that they may go, and say unto thee 'Here we are’ This forecasts, according. to Mr. Glendenning, the electrical won- the present era which are with the radio. Here, the electricat wave is sent forth and ralks when it reaches the receiving station. "Phese and many more interesting | discussions, Mr. Glendenning is giving in his nightly sermons on topics dur- ing his campaign. | THIS CITY NEXT Momj Will Make Regular Inspection After Pive Year Periody=-May Place City in First Grade Column.

Wilder of Bridgeport was given at the morn- Ing session, The grand master sald that the year had been one of ac- tivity “with its usual burden of shadows, unfilled hopes, keen disap- pointments, fallures and successes, The effort had been to arouse among the membership a greater feeling of loyalty to Masonry, to its history, les- sons and traditions; to avoid all sem- blance of religious or class feeling Xxx to give every man without regard to race, creed or religious belief, his due, as a man, for an equality of op- | portunity in all things, and by setting the example of fairness, toleration and moderation,” The grand master reviewed visita- tions to subordinate lodges and at- tached therewith the reports of nine district deputies of their visitations.

Hall Advocates Believes New Britain Would Eventually Be Relieved of Burdensome Payments to Underwriters. Chairman Edward . Hall of the board of finance and taxation has in mind a plan for the city ta carry its own insurance and after his board completes the work of budgets and a proposed tax to be rec- mit his proposal to that board for consideration. Because of the fact that the finance | board is confronted by more than the usual amount of difficulties in connec- tion with making up this year's budget. Chairman Hall does not plan to introduce the new insurance | system this year, he said this morn- | ing. The possibilities of the city carrying its own insurance were brought forci- bly to attention when the school com- mittee reported an insurance item o $10,000 for next year. A part of this amount is occasioned by the fact that there are several three year policies to be renewed. The average yearly payment toward insurance is $4,000 | Superintendent 8. H. Holmes assert- ed. In next year's budget, the following insurance items appear: schools, $10,- 000; fire department, $200; board of charities, $800; city hall commission, | ater board, $450. Total $13,- 650. There are also other insurance items included in the incidental ac- counts of the several boards, which | it is believed would bring the insur- ance bill next year to $15,000. The finance board chairman's plan, in substance, is to have the permiums paid into an insurance funds which would be allowed to stand from year to year. In the course of five or 10 years a sizeable amount of money would be accumulated and the city | would be protected against fire lpsses. | The only risk would be in the early | vears of building up this fund and those who favor the idea point to the smalil amount of fire damage that the city has suffered, in minimizing this danger. | Anniversary Mass for Priest Murdered in 1915 The eighth anniversary mass for the late Rev.

Senator Suisman opposed the bill as another instance of “‘usurpation of power” by the state board. He did not believe the state board should should be transported. He thought local school authorities children should be taken to school. Motion to Table Passes, Senator Brooks did not believe that a town school board could tell on July 15 how many or what children were to be certified for transportation dur- ing the following school years, and he saw other objections to the meas- ure. His motion to table was car- ried with 21 senators voting for this action. Senator Bakewell had another edu- cational bill left on the calendar in view of. action taken on the first bill.
