Felid w 3 HOW NORWICH HEARING LOOKED IN HARTFORD Unique Hearing at the Capitol At- tracted Much Attention, “A strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether, ‘was put over by a couple hundred residents of the sub- urbs of Norwich, who want to be in- corporated into a new town to be known, somewhat paradoxically, as “Old Norwich,” before the committee on new towns and probate districts, in the hall of the house, Tuesday aft- ernoon, and then there was “a loud protest, a’ long protest and a protest altogether,” from an equal number of #citizens® of Norwich who want the boundary lines of the city and town to remain as they are. But the Op- ponents seemed to have the punch and they had more time to deliver it, so that the advocates of separation left the capitol in a very happy mood. They seemed to carry with them some of the augury of success. Both sides sent special trains to Hartford, carrying the supporters of the movement, to be or not to be, divided. If there was any work done Tuesday in the famous Ponemah mills, which are located in the proposed new fown, it must have been by old men and women. All the ablebodied men seemed to have taken the day off to come to Hartford and by their pres- ence back up their iawyers, who were laying the basis for a.separation ar- gument before the committee. When the hearing got under way the hall of the house looked like a state convention. Save the suffragist hearings, it was the largest of the year, an dit was even more formal, as both' sides had lawyers and stenos- Taphers, and_ speciai accommodations for them had to be provided by the committee—Hartford Times.

Committee to Make Report for Retail Merchants. ‘The committee appointed last week to prepare and propose a plan for the retail merchants to carry out another Merchants’ week has perfected a plan which will be presented at a meeting at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms in the Thayer build- ing.

When a subject comes directly in contact with one or all of our five senses we can speak with au- thority. Specialists make good wi nesses along their line because they can testify from personal investiga- tion. They have seen with their own eves, and handled with their own hands the things whereof they affirm It is for this reason that the insan- ity expert loomse up larg in our criminal courts. His wide acquaint- ance with both the normal and ab- normal working of the human brain qualifies him to speak with knowledge on that subject. Therefore he is re- garded as a valuable witness. Let us remember that witnessing is something more than speaking. The basis of witnessing: is knowledge, while speaking is only giving outward ex- pression to that knowledge. There are many who consider talking about a thing and witnessing as identical. This is a great mistake, because talk- ing without knowledge is mere guess- ‘work. The court never says to a witness, “Will you please talk about this case; will, you give us your suspicions, sur- misings and deductions; will you state what current street gossip has to say about it.” It is never this but always “What do you postively know about this case?” " Witnessing, then, to have any value must have its foundation in knowledge. _ : If knowledge takes complete pos- session gf us it will seek its own mode of expression. It will show itself in what we sa it will more deeply mianifest itself in. what we are. If there is something real in our lives, something that is calculated to make others better, then I believe in the verbal expression of it. On the other hand there is nothing more disgusting than for the tongue to affirm what does not really exist in the heart—this is sheer hypocrisy. An ideal yitness is he who speakes of what has passed through the crucible of a rich experi- ence. " Harvard graduate and is standing on the street corner waiting to take any job that turns up, you have a right to call him a miserable witness You do not: care to hear a politician shout himself hoarde about fidelity to country if you have reason to believe he is a grafter. If, on the other hand, the lives of men are rich and noble and true, then what they say will em- phasize what they mean and as wit- messes they will add to the moral value of the world. ‘What we need, then, is men so filled with the nobility of life that talking about it becomes perfectly natural. What we need s teachers in all the grades so impressed with the import- ance of learning that they must be Witnesses of it to others. We need men inside and outside the workshops S0 gripped with the divinity of labor that they cannot speak,too highly in its praise. We need pfore Christians of such experimental knowledge of their Lord that their faces will say, “We have been with Him on the Delectable Mountains;” men so fiilled with the abundant life that they will exclaim with the old disciple, “We have found the Messiah.” Such are the witnesses and such alone that will hasten the redemption. of the world. s Money for Belgian Relief.

Although the weather is a little cold for successful fishing, veteran fisher- men will start out today for their fa- vorite trout brooks, as the trout sea- son is now open until June 30. The winter was not very severe but the fall was dry and unless the trout were able to gel intc ponds they were very likely to fare badl The last fish laws passed, state that! trout are to be taken only with hook and line and that the taking of trout less than six inches long is illegal. The trout are mot to be bought or sold (except with license obtained from the commissioners). They are not to be transported in the state, e cept when accompanied by the actual owner, and not more than 10 pounds shall be accompanied or transported at one time. e trout shall not be transported outside the state, except from commercial hatcheries for stock- ing. The limit for one day is 30, and the penalty provided for is $1 to $50 and additional $1 to $50 for each fish taken or possessed in violation. Lake trout may be taken from May 1 to September 30, and the taking of lake trout less than 10 inches is ille- gal. The penalty provided for in vi- olation of this law is the same as for trout. The_season is open on black bass from July 1 to April 30 and they are to be taken only with hook and line. Black bass measuring_less than eight inches carnot be taken legally.

Dr. Slocum Took as Them A gqod sized congregation heard the sermon delivered by Rev. . Joel B. Slocum, D. D., Wednesday evening at| the Central Baptist church at the third of the union Lenten services. Rev. Joseph Cobb, pastor of the Uni- versalist church, read the responsive reading, Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, pastor of the Second Congregational church, offered prayer and Rev. Dr. Slocum read_the scripture selection taken from Mark 10. Rev. Dr. Slocum said we may not presume to understand the cup of Je- sus’ Sorrow. If we analyzed the cup of sorrow we could agree that the first ingredient that entered into this cup of sorrow was the recoil of an exceedingly sensitive soul against the grossness of sin. If we could by some act of mathematical composition work out the sufferings of the Son of God as He came in_daily contact with the sins of the world we could per- haps better understand the Dbitterness of His cup. Closely allied with His suffering_was the constant pressure against Him of the enemies of the soul. As soon as He was ready for His work and immediately after His bap- tism He was led out into the wilder- ness to be tested. This temptation was a part of the bitterness that went into His cup. Some people be- iileve that He did not feel the full force of témptation but Rev. Dr, Slo- cum staid that if the temptations meant._anything they meant that they were real. Another bitterness spoken of was lies in the fact that those to whom He came especially, refused Him. We can never comprehend the joy of the vision Jesus had; the vision of a re- deemed race. There is only one thing that gives us a thrill of hope, for in His parting words to His _disciples Jesus intimates that the joy He ex- perienced, the joy of an accomplished Tedemption would be theirs. There are some who are content to follow Jesus and call Him merely a man, and religion merely morality, fout there is nothing quite like standing at the foot of the cross. Tonight (Thursday) the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be observed by each church in its own house of ‘worship. Friday morning there will be | union service at the Church of _the Good Shepherd the topic, The Law of Love ,to be taken from the 15th chapter of John. In the evening another union ser- vice will be held at Broadway Con- e EASY TO DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Try this!
