Newton Lackey of Hartford will be the speaker of the evening. | Rev. John 1. Davis yesterday t8ok as his theme the poverty of re- ligious people. He said: “In the olden times it was thought that religion held aut a reward for righteousness and there was material gain in it, People thought that if God was on thelr side He would give them that which everyone desires, ma- terial prosperity. That is still spoken of ns a reward but it is not alw true. 1 actually think that it Is bet- ter to be honest, righteous, fair and just but we cannot always see these things bring a financlal reward. They may and they may not and it is false to hold out to a man the hape that it he is religlons he will' make more money than the other man. They be- tieved that in the olden days and then when it began to dawn on the people of that day that the wicked were more prosperous than the good people and had much of the gladness of life, they ¢aid, ‘there is sonething wrong, re- ligion is wrong, we are being good and in poverty and there they are immor- al and living in prosperity.’ “Look at Nebuchadnezzar, He spent his last days crawling about on his hands and knees like an animal be- cause he went insane from sin. Are the sinners plagued like other men? We do not have to go hack to Nebu- chadnezzar to have the truth told about trouble and that sinners are plagued like other men. ‘Asaph says they are not plagued like other men. They are plagued worse. Their very lives are eaten out by the resuits of their sins. Go back to Judas Iscariot who hanged himself through remorse. Think of the old king who killed the Huguenots. When he was dying he ®aid, ‘blood, blood, the rivers of blood.’ He was plagued to death. There is Harry K. Thaw who slew Stanford White, Ask him if he is not plagued. Go ask him if the wicked are not pla- gued ke other men. Ask Stillman: Asck the Indian gnide. All that publi- city before the American public of the wealthiest people in this country. mhey are disgraced and their children are disgraced. The only thing that helps them is the wealth they have. Ask them if wealth brings ease and comfort always. No, they are plagued like other men. “A man once rode through a city with the mayor and as they passed a beautiful residence with cut glass door panels and luxurious. surroundings he sald, ‘Mayor if I had a home “‘e that I'would be a happy man.' The mayor said, ‘No you would not. You would be miserable as I am. You, wonld be listening for the steps of drunken son and a daughter gone astray.’ The man went back to his humble home in the suburbs of the city which was as pure as the flowers | in spring. He put his arms around his| | wife and children and said, ‘Here is sire leap out of you? 1Is that piness, is that peace, is that cam They are plagued worse than other men. To be good doesn't pay! It doesn't pay te be honest! Someons asked the other day, ‘What has thi Bible class done for the eity? Poor old America. It cannet judge any- thing except in dollars and cents, The first question of an American is 'How mueh Is it worth? “It is worth something more than money. What has this class ever done for this town? If 1 could take you back to my room and read to you some 200 testimonlals, One man gave up gambling, another has returned to Jesus Christ, another is now reading the Bible, another has decided to de- vote his life and that of his wife and children to God. All this through the influence of the Bible class, What has it ever done? Some say Christianity doesn’t pay. “They talk ahout ministers not be- ing good producers. Ministers and churches may not be productive in the sense of the world, TIf we can send out good men to show good example and help the fallen, instead of broken homes we will have peace and com- fort, We may not be richer financially but we will be richer in soul."” Despondent Ménv'n.il.i-rnps To Death at Enfield Dam; Thomsonville, May 7.-—~Within sight of many persons strolling along the banks of the Connecticut river near hern yesterday afternoon, Mark E. McQuillan, 44, manager of a boarding house, took oft his hat and coat and leaped Into the river at the foot of the Enfield dam. He swam to mid- stream, threw up his arms and sank. Because of the swift current and the flooded condition of the river men who ran to the scene were helpless tn effect a rescue. MoQuillan's body has not yet been recovered.

INTERESTED IN COURT HEARING Supreme Tribune Taes Up N tional Bank Branches Case Washington, May 7.—~The supremse eourt held a special session today to hear argument in a case involving the right of national banks to establish | branches and s the enforceability of | state laws prohibiting such branches. The case reached the court on an| appeal brought by the First National | Bank of 8t. Louis to have reviewed the decision of the Missouri eourt up- holding the law of that state pro- hibiting branch banks Connecticut Is Included. Fleven states, Arkansas, Connecti-| cut, Illinois, Indiana, Towa, Kansas, | Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da- kota, Washington and Wisconsin were permitted by the court as friends, to intervene and file briefs. All the states have laws prohibitiong branch bank- | ing, soms of the laws also applying to state banks. They expressed appre- hension that branch banking by na- tional banks would gradually result in the elimination of state banks The First National Bank insisted in {ts argument that natlonal banks are not subject to restriction in the mat- ter of their rights and powers by state laws, but, being chartered by the fed- eral government are in such matters solely under the jurisdiction of the federal government. It denied that the federal statutes prohibited na- tional banks from establishing branches and asserted that the acts ot congress conferred jurisdiction up- on state’ ecourts over actions against national banking associations did not give the state, or her courts authority to interfere in matters af- i “Why Man Of Today Is Only 50 Per Cent Efficient” We want to give you a copy of a book here is no charge and no by that name. ogligacion involved. 99 out of 100 diseases are traceable to Auto-intoxication.
