They are to be gained from the only possible source, His memeirs in the New Testament, The picture glven us there is amaz- ingly striking. The claims Jesus made concerning Himself are so astounding and so altogether staggering that they stamp Him as either a charlatan, an insane fanatic, or a perfectly good and righteous being. He claimed to be without sin and no one, not even his enemies, disputed Him, He chal- lenged men to convict Him of sin and none answered, He assumed likeness with God, teaching men that they could reach God only through Him and that seeing Him they saw God.

Sloper, mapager of the New Britain Gas Light company this afternoon stated that on cold days within the past winter there has been an increase of 15 per cent in the number of cubic feet of gas consumed in this city, due chiefly to the short-| age of coal. ! Mr. Sloper states that in many homes, when the days have been colrli and there has been little fuel, the people have burned gas in order to keep warm and because of this fact| the daily output at the gas plant has done to the stock in a room adjoining the boiler room.

Taylor and Goldmdn are under arrest in Chicago {and it is expected that Taylor will| increased. On days such as today, however,| when the weather is moderate, the| consumption is no greater than it was| last year. The production of gas at/ the New Britain plant has been very ragged, Mr. Sloper states, inasmuch/ as warm days have followed cold ones! and there has not been a long cold wave.

Paonessa resumed his duties this morning at his office in City Hall after a week's illness, and as his first official act signed a call for a session of the city meeting board, to be held next Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the auditorium of the Central Junior High school, to act upon a budget and lay taxes for next year. The budget to be submitted is one prepared by the board of finance and taxation and appreved by the common council last week, It provides a tax of 21 7-10 mills, 18 6-10 of which is to be collected on all property with- in the first taxing district and 3 1-10 mills to be collected on the property within the second taxing district.

The matter of His virgin birth and | miraculous power are matters wholly | immaterial to faith in Him as | Saviour for men. One may or may | not believe these and yet have abso- lute faith in Jesus as Saviour and the Son of God. Jesus did not .iy| anything about his birth. Nor did ’aul or John ever mention it.
