The Builetin_shouia_be _deiiversd | Rev. E, M. Chapman of Old Lyme es vice—Rev, E. E. Gates of Ansonia at Central The third of the union services of the Congregational churches was held Sunday morning at the Second church with a good sized congregation to hear Rev. B. M. Chapman of Old Lyme. His helptul sermon was followed with the closest attention. Speaking from the text, Hebrews X, 20; “A new and living way,” he said that as there may be discovered in the letters of an individual, some phrase revealing the dominant idea, the re- current strain of a life, so it was with the text. Although we may never know by name the man who wrote these words, yet we can see him clear- 1y revealed by this letter to the He- brews. This is a message so vital, so crammed full of meaning that is | shown to be the word of a great man filled with a high concern for his peo- ple. He had found a new and living way for the Hebrews, but they were disposed to take the old way with their problems. Apd first of their problems was that of their sins, a world old struggle. He saw them trusting in altar sacrifices. They had a senso of sin, but too ofien it was the breaking «f a form rather than a concern of the inner life. He sald to them there is a better way since Jesus ecame. God is for vou, not against you. His is a message of grace and forgiveness. To come face t3 face with Christ was the new and living way, not to cover sin up, but to have it cleansed away, and this was the characteristic difference between tha ol¢ and the new testa- ment in “he attitude towards sin. Then there was- the problem of earthly Jdefeat culminating in death. This lay square across the old He- brews' path as it does across ours to- day. But no man thought then of it with hope. . Death represented life's defeut, the sapping of its energies, the ending of its charms. -Behold, says the writer of the text, a new and living way. Since Jesus Christ came a great glad change has come upon it. He tasted it and translated it into a means of salvation. And so may each man do who treats death as Jesus did, a high adventure to te ontered into, a larger chance thun iife can offer, a sort of accolade lifting 1aan to higher knight- hood. They had also the problem of be- lief. They were face to face with a new faith” and they were fealful lest grasping after the new the old should be lost altogether. So they strove to keep the old. Christianity today asks no man to define at twenty what he will believe at fity, nor to tie to the creed of his father's. The great phrases, the central truths of religion abide, but they are subject to the in- terpretaation of the times. Faith is Iike suniight, old as the race of man, but tomorrow which this “sunlight brings is ever a new day. ‘There remains the homely and pro- saic problem of the conduct of our daily life. In this there is the wild oats theory, but over the shoulders of ‘Its advocates loom the spectres of its effects upon the next generation. Yet the wild- oats theory is a fairly con- sistent theory and so many have fol- lowed It that I cannot afford to be contemptuous of it. But it is the old and dying way. There is also a phrase of the street, let us do_this ignoble thing, “let us have a good time for wo shall be a long time dead.” And this too seems well enough if we prefer to set death more than lite and cowardly self-indulgence over more noble self- control. There is a new and living way, and - that man. shall. be: finally Jjustified who loves and speaks the —Fhiladelphia Pastor at Norwich Town Church. e . ¥ | other things and that ltre % truth. and is faithful to high ideals. His day shall be full of life and ever glorious. ' - It ‘was announced that the service next Sunday would be at the same church ‘with Rev. James R. Danforth of Groton as the her. At First Congregational Church. At the First Congregational church Sundey motalig, Rev. J. Charles Lea- vengood of Phi pulpit and preached an inspiring_and interesting sermon from the text, Phil- ippians ii:12-13, Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work for his good pleas ure. This text contains a nugget for young and old. Four points were. dis- cussed Dby the preacher: First, the eclement of possession. Second, the element of the development of pos- session. Third, -the spirit by which there is development of possession. Fourth, the Great Helper in the devel- opment of that possession. Salvation is a persomal gift, if our hearts are willing to receive it. The longing for possession is innate in us all and we must work out the de- velopment of our possession. We do not throw into the work of the. church the strength of our man- hood and womanhood that we do in is why the church is not moving on.. At Central Baptist Church. Rev. Elbert E. Gates of Ansonia proved an interesting speaker at the Sunday evening service at the Central Baptist church. His text was taken trom Jonah i:3: “So he paid the far A great many people see only one thing in the book -of Jonah, said the speaker. They lose the whole point of the book and think only of the great fish_story. ‘We have in this chapter man’s co mission. from God to . go and do & certain thing. But Jonah found a ship and paid the fare and set out from the presence of the Lord. ° Every man going away from God is going away from God at his own ex- pense. Sin exacts the fare but does not fulfil the contract, for how many men who have turned away from God ever reached the goal! How many people are contented and happy Who are traveling away from God! The journey is beset with danger and .a men does not only endanger his own happiness, health and life, but also of those that love: him. Jonah endan- gered not only his own-safety but also that of all those on the ship. / The path of dity is plainly shown. The responsibility cannot be shifted. When God wants you to do a thing he expects you to do it. We must trust God, meet our opportinity and go_forth on the path of duty. Jonah found himself in a prison. Everyone going away from God finds himself in a prison, darker than the darkest prison. The man going away from God and following vainly after pleasure and happiness, will o' _the wisp, finds himself enchained by hab- its, Conscience robs his days of pedce and his nights of slumber. He is haunted by two spectres, one, what he might have been, the other, what he may become. Jonah was rescued by God, and God has power to rescue a man from his prison. Jonah had three misfortunes, yet they saved him. Sometimes thése things that seem mis- fortunes to us may be our blessings. The. path of duty is-the path of.safe- ———— e — TO THE SHORE s TO ESCAPE THE HEAT. Trolleys and Boats Do Record Busin on Sunday. All Norwich suffered Sunday in the heat as the city had not suffered this summer before, according to the gen- eral verdict, and there was a general rush to find some cooler spot. The result was record breaking traffic on the boats and trolley cars for _the beach. On_the main line from Willi- mantic to New London double service was started at 845 in the morning, an earlier hour than at any previous time this season. It kept up until late at night, with the cars packed to the run- ning boards and some trips there were {hree cars. Around the city a temperature of 120 in the sun was the highest reported, and in the shade 96, 98 and 100 was the regular thing. . Those who tried launch trips down the river reportéd that there was hardly a ripple on the surface or g breath of air stirring so that they en- dured a grilling from water and sun together. No casualties were reported from the heat and the big trafic was handled with despatch by the trans- portation lines. CHOIR BOYS BACK. Christ Church Boys 'Return from Three Jolly Weeks at Pleasant View Bungalaw. Freckled .and fattened by three weeks of sunshine and fine .fare at their . bungalow at Pleasant View ‘beach, the Christ church choir boys returnsd Saturday evening on the 5. Westerly _trolley. party of about 18 under the escort of Choir Director William F. Habekotte and all hands voted this the best,camp ever. Their new bungalow, occupled this year for the first time and built with their money, proved commodious and accommodated 35 in all while the camp was in progress. The boys were popular at the beach and had many visitors from home while they were in camp. The time sped all too fast and it was with reluctance thsy turned their faces homeward after the enjoy- able outing. Huguerot Lodge, N. E. O. P. Huguenot lodge, No. 409, New Eng- land Order of Protection, was insti- tuted Friday night in Union lodge rooms in New London with a member- ship of 52. The lodge was instituted by Supreme Warden Frank A. Rice of Melrose, Mass. Grand Warden Fred- erick H. Tolles of Windsor was pres- ent. The organizer of the lodge is District Deputy W. J. Waiden. Supreme Warden Rice was assisted in_the institution of the lodge by the following acting _supreme officers: Past Warden Andrew Stewart, Vice Warden David T. Sherwood, Secre- tary James L. Wheeler, Financial Sec- Yerary Fred T. Peabody of Providence, a past supreme warden; Guide Joseph Watt of Jewett City, Guardian Haryy Cullen, The new Todge fs made up_ partly of members of Beulah lodge, No. 228, who thought the wide field warranted the existence of two lodges. Many of the memtbers, however, are new ap- plicants. The charter will remain open for a while, A number of the brethren of the two local lodges were present at the cere- monies. Charged With Aiding Kelson. Fwo negroes, George Doyle and Sam uel. Howard were arrested in.

Groton and Stonington Railréad Direc- tors Take Steps to Find Out Cost of Extension. Since a meeting of the directors of the Groton and Stonington Railroad company in New London on Friday it is thought that the extension of the line to Olg Mystic on the east side of the river is assured. Although no definite action was tak- en with regard to the extension, 1t was decidedly the sentiment of the meeting that the road should be built under the proper conditions.’ A _committes composed of Presidént Thomas W. Hamilton, Viee President B. F. Wil- liams and Supt. Thomas W. Ryley was appointed to look into the matter of cost of construction, grading, ties, land | damage, if any should be necessary, and to ascertain the attitude of the people along the proposed route with regard. to the venture. The committee will report at a special meeting of the directors to-be called as soon as.prac- ticable. The bullding of the road, which as now estimated will cost in the. neigh- borhood of $30,000, will Teauire the investment of that' much capital 1in stock or some other form, and it is probable that a_ considerable amount can be disposed of locally. If the investigation ‘of the committee con- vinces that the cost of the new road would be a paying investment it is probable that the project will be un- dertaken in the near future. The amount of patronage and the field: to draw from would come largely ifito consideration. There will be:a cgrtain amount of freight traffic to-be ‘rélled upon and_probably the contract: for carrying the mails. Passenger service to. and from Elm Grove cemetery is dalso to be counted on as an.item of receipts. The number of trips that would be made per.day is. & matter that will take care of itself and would of course be regulated entirely by the patronage, A eoutractor has been engage dto go over ‘the road next Friday to make an estimate_an the cost of grading. RUMOR REVIVED. The Rev. Hugh Treanor Said-to Be in Line for Appointment as Bishop of Connecticut. Professing .to have private advices on good authority, a state paper on Sunday reviewed the rumor that Rev. Hugh_ Treanor, pastor of St. Patrick’s cirurch in - this city, may be selected as bishop of the Hartford diocese, to fll the vacancy caused by the death of Bishop Tierney. Referring to Father Treanor's pro inent place among the clergy of Wi terbury and the Naugatuck valley, when pastor of the Church of the Sa- cred Heart in Waterbury, his good record as a financier iy advanced as a primary reason why he should be fa- vored for the appointment as: bisnop. When questioned apout, ths rumpr, Sunday night, Father Treator said that he had mnot heard of it, and that it was all news to him.

WINSTED TOWN MEETING Provides for High Schosl Education for Catholio Pupils. A despatch from Winsted says: The question of providing a High schéol-ed- ucation for the children of Winchester, which las been the cause of much agi- tation for the past year, ss a result of the enforcément “of- a provision im the will of William Gilbert, the founder, that no child who has been educated. in a_parochial school shall be. admitted to the Gilbert school, now used by the town as a tigh school, satisfac- torily -adjusted at the special town meeting held Friday gight at-the re- quest of Catholic petitioners. "The meeting was attended by about 1,000 voters and was in session twelve minutes. Representative George Car- rington presided and immediately after the reading of the call Representative R. T. Higgins, one of the town's most prominent Catholics, presented the fol- lowing resolution, which was passed with hardly a dissenting voice: “Voted, that the.school commitiee of the town of Winchester.be, and they hereby are, authorized,. empowered and directed to provide suitable high school accommo- dations and facilities for all children of .the town of Winchester who may.be qualified and who fay make applica- tion therefor, either by establishing a high school course of four years, by providing free tuition in any estab- lished school of high school grade in the town, or by a one-year course of high schoel work in our public schools and the remainder of the course in an established school of high school grade in the town.” Mr. Higgins said the resolution was drawn at a joint meeting of the com- mittee appointed at a meeting of the men of St. Joseph's church and & com- mittes of prominent citizens, and. that it was understood that a one-year high school course will be provided at the ‘Ppublic schiool in a separate room and with separate teachers, the children to enter the Giibert school after the first year and with the hope of ultimately combining the high with the Gilbert school. * .
