Tsao, graduate of Yale, now taking a post graduate course at Har- vard, and general secreiary of Chi- nese Y. M. C.

The state of Connecticut is dear to me, he sald, for whatever 1 learnea of the Spirit I learned at New Haven. 1 wish to speak of the opportunities and problems to be faced on the othe: side of the world and will take for my text The ends of the earth shail see the salvation of God. Following in the wake of the revo- lution of one year ago are other revo- utions to take place, and in these the kingdom of God is to show Its power. We have discarded aristocracy, in equality. special privileges and conser- vative ideas. We alm towards the democratic and progressive ideas of vour nation. The three revolutions are social, industrial and religious. The country is changing from agri- cultural to industrial . Men and wom- en instead of working in the flelds are Dbeing forced to work in mills. Keen- ness of competition forces men to work hard for little pay and is forcing thousands of children into the milis. We want the ideas that Christian na- tions have wrought out by painful experience, we want these ideas quicl- 1y to forestall the wrongs we see in View of these sudden changes. Within the next one hundred years the whole country ought to be con- verted and covared with churches. With the new government we have adopted the Sunday. There were only official holidays under the old regime during the year. Christ's kingdom will come—every vear more and more Chi nese students are interested in the work of the church. During the past four vears 400 have joined the Chinese Y. M. C. A. in this country, more thaa one-half are not Christians. We want them to surrender themselves to Chris- tian work, that is the spirit we want them to learn in this country. We are sure the ends of the world will see the salvation of our God.

Faith, an act of the intellect and will, coupled with divine grace, was the subect of Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly's sermon at the high mass in St. Pat- rick’s church yesterday, the fourth Sunday in Lent. The principal ob- stacles to faith are pride, levity of mind and corruption of manners The preacher explained how these three obstacles prevent men from .be- lieving in Christ, although He was an historical person, proving His divin- ity by His miracles and prophesies. It is’ logical to believe that He left a custodian of the trut which He .taught, in His church, which is a bea- con light on the path to salvation. Faith cannot be secured so much by philosophy as by prayer. The lesson deduced was the necessity of humble praver and the duty of aiding in the diffusion of faith. The high mass Rev. William fertory w Maria, fin was celebrated by augh. The of- Jordan's Ave John Sullivan. Dr. sung by February Fire Record. February, which can usually be counted upon to make a good fire record, performed up te cxpectations this year in the local department. There were 14 calls in the month, of which five were bell alarms. A num- ber of the firts were in locations that promised a destructive bhlaze if they had not been checked in time, but the prompt responses robbed them of this threatened danger. Mrs. Glynn Appeals.

The following letter from Chief Stan- ton has been sent by him to the mak- ers of the Norwich auto-chemical. Headquarters Fire Department, Norwich, Conn., Feb. 24, 1913. The Pope Mfg. Co. Hartford. Conn. Gentlemen: The thought occurred to me that you would like to know of the performance of the Pope-Hartford combination chemical and hose car purchased of your company abcut one year ago when forced not only to climb the highest hill in the city, but also in towing an engine weighing 8500 pounds. At a fire in this city Friday after- noon, February 21, 1913, an alarm was sent in for a fire on Orchard street, the highest point in the city. Our Pope car responded and had no trou- ble in negotiating the very bad hill with soft mud abeut six inches deep on some of the streets.were were obliged to travel. After gischarging the chem- ical tank it was found a water line would have to be laid in 700 feet away from the house that was burning. This was done and the machine was sent back to tow the engine that was stalled one-half mile away from the fire. The automobile successfully ac- complished the job and landed the en- gine at the hydrant and then started for headquarters, a mile away, to bring in coal, thus making three ‘trips up the hill, once with the engine in tow and twice with hose and coai, with six men. The enclosed editorial and local no- tice in our morning paper gives some idea what the car is thought of in Nor- wich. (Moral.) Trusting this may be of interest to you and to the faithful salesmen of the company, I remain, Very truly you HOWARD L. STANTON, Chief of Fire Department. SENATE FAVORS CONTINUING CADET SCHOOL.
