Referring to the Lusitania_catastro- phe, Witter Bynner of New York, for- merly of Norwich, writes vigorously: Is ‘it not worth remarking that the most helpful thing we could now do in behalf of Germany would be to declare war against her or make it possible for her to declare war against us? In that event, ammunition and supplies now going to the allies would be held in harmless reserve in this country, where Germany would like them to be held. The brigand is. not only callous but cunning, and has devised @ new chance for patriotism to betray civilization.

Lady Assistan: HORWIGH BBLLETM; I'HIDAY, MY 14, 1915 CONVENTION SESSION GLOSED E. A. Tracy Re-elected Vice President and President Lincoln Re-elected by Universalists—Churches Reported Gain of 37 Members in the Year—Resolutions Deplore the Brutal European War. Edwin A, Tracy of this city on Thursday 'wes re-elected vice presi- dent of the Comnecticut Umiversalist convention at the $3d_annual session held in_the Church of the Good Shep- herd. Morning and afternoon sessions were held on Thursday, the convention having been. adjourned from Wednes- day evening, and the morning session was preceded by a conference meeting in the conference room with Herbert E. Belden of Hartford presiding. Ideals vs. Accomplishments. The conference opened at 8.30 o'clock with the singing of Love Divine, with Miss _Carrie Champlin at the piano. Mr. Belden read the scripture and prayer was offered by Rev. Joseph F. Cobb. The' subject upon-which Mr. Belden spoke was Ideals vs. Accom- Dlishments. Mr. Belden said we need some of the Billy Sunday inspiration to awaken us to a realization of our shortcomings and inspire us to greater Christian effort. Where would your business be if you let it slide as you do your church? How much secular edu- cation would your children get if you thought as little of their attending day school as you do of their attending Sunday echool? Oh, for a Jonah, even though in the past he may have been asleep under a gourd vine, who would come among us and preach as that prophet of old did to the people of Nineveh. ‘What can this present convention mean for the churches of our state? How would it be possible for an in- fluence to start from this very day's proceedings, that might revitalize our several parishes, leavening them with the true leaven that comes from heav- en, making them power plants from which radiate into the hearts. and homes of all their members the vital- izing, refreshing, uplifting influences of the Master's gospel of love and good cheer, instead of our continuing to let them remain houses of rest, where we may possibly go on Sunday, if we are unable to think of or plan for nothing that can take us away; there to enjoy one day of rest. Is it any wonder that we are not growing? That many of our churches are dead? That ministers are few and that men to manage the business end of our churches as they manage their factor- ies, stores or offices are not. to be found, to say nothing of deacons for our churches and teachers and super- intends for our Sunday schools. What will we do with our ideals? Hold them like a light under a bushel, or set them up on the candlestick ch we have planted in our several towns, which candlesticks we call our churches, where the ideals may shed forth a brilliance and radiance that shall lighten all the dark and gloomy corners of men’s hearts, filling the world with a warmth of love, that shall melt all the enmities and preju- dices with which the world is filled, welding the human race into a world brotherhQod where love and not hate, co-operation and not antagonism, help- fulness and not harmfulness, have be- come our ruling passions. Millenium Would Be Here. Would there then be any controver- sy between our ideals and our accom- plishments? No, the millenium would be here, for we would then be truly living the life of the great universal brotherhood, of which the Great Je- hovah, our Heavenly Father, is the Lord and Master, and of which our elder brother, the gentie yet mighty Jesus, was the perfect example. We should then find our churches had be- come real centers of helpful and re- generatinz influences, pulsing with life and love, and even stricing to improve and strengthen the bands that bind us as brothers of our Father into the universal family of the Almighty. And it will come, for we as Univer- salists believe in the final consumma- tion of good. How much we really believe in that wonderful universal salvation will be shown by the way we attack the problems presented by their cornerstone, by which we do when we get back to our own churches, by which we become in men and women more than we have attained so far. The morning session was presided over by President Charles A. Lincoln of Hartford, and the minutes were kept by Rev. T. A. Fischer of New Haven, while Rev. Joseph F. Cobb was session clerk, Gain of 37 Members.. The secretary reported on the meet- ing held Wednesday evening end sev- eral of the committee chairmen, includ- ing those on social service and fellow- ship, reported. The statistical report was Jaid over and the secretary was authorized to have the report printed. The secretary reported that there was a gain of 37 members in the churches this year over last year. Greetings from the cradle roll department were presented by Mrs. Fischer, and she ex- pressed the hope that the importance of this department would be more fully realized. Recommendations. In his report Rev. F. A, Dillingham of the official reports committee touch- ed on the depreciation of the income of the invested funds and the fact that the treasurer’s report showed the usual balance, notwithstanding. The_report commended the efforts made in_ Water- bury and New Britain and the clerks of the parishes were urged to keep accurate accounts and to render these accounts to the convention. It was recommended that the president of the Woman's auxiliary make annual re- ports to the state convention. It was decided to continue the midwinter conferences and to invoke the agency of the superintendent to secure new pastors and for other matters.

P. C, U. appoint a speaker for the state convention.

That they wish to congratulate the treasury of the Connecticut State Uni- versalist convention, Mr. M. M.

Noble of Middletown, Conn., 'reared in Universalism, graduate of Tufts college, refined scholar, superintendent of Connecticut State Hospital for the Insane, authority upon all problems on institutional helpfulness for the in- sane, distinguished expert upon psy- chology, a most kindly Chris- tian man, they record their apprecia- tion of his character and their sym- pathy with the great bereavement ‘which has come to his family and their own real loss, and that'a copy of this resolution be sent to the family. Extending to Dr. Adams most cor- dial thanks for his great sermon preached upon the occasion of the death of Dr. C. A. Smith, of Hart- ford.

SENATOR BARNES MAIES JOKE OF JITNEY LAW Would Include All Vehicles Except Wheelbarrows and Baby Carriages. A bill for regulation of jitneys was on the calendar starred for action in the senate at Hartford on Thurs- day, but was met with amendments offered by Senators Barnes, Isbell and Salmon. The amendment of Senator Barnes was written in a facetious vein and caused a roar when read, but it was ordered printed in the journal. The Barnes amendment was as fol- lows: “Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert in lieu thereof the following: “Section 1. Terms used in this chapter shall be construed as follows, unless other meaning is clearly a; parent from the language or context: Jitney shall include all vehicles e: cept wheelbarrows and baby car- riages, furnishing comfortable trans- portation to a passenger who might otherwise be privileged to stand up in a dirty street car for the sum of cne nickel. Robber shall include any person taking a nickel which might otherwise go to the Connecticut com- pany; this shall not apply to Wall street financiers, who take less than $5,000,000 at a clip. Protector of the Public shall mean the Connecticut company. “Section 2. Every owner ¢f one or more jitneys, before operating the same upon the public highways of the state, shall obtain from the attorneys of the Connecticut company, other- wise known as the protector of the public, permission so to do. Such permission shall not be granted until such owner has filed a bond in the sum of $100,000 and, under oath, shall agree to turn over his entire gross receipts to said Connecticut company. “This act shall take effect upon its first reading.” Senator Salmon offered several amendments, one of which provided that it should not be necessary for the driver of any motor vehicle licensed as a common carrier to have the li- cense in the vehicle. The secretary of state should furnish five special mark- ers. One of the special markers shall be carried in a conspicuous place on the front of the motor vehicle. The act shall not apply to any motor ve- hicle in which passengers are carried upon the payment of an individual fare of 10 cents or over. Senator Isbell offered an amendment that the vehicles shall be confined to a “stated “route.” He deprecated any attempt to create a prejudice that might influence legislation on the sub- ject of the regulation of the jitneys. He said he appreciated the humor in the amendment offered by Senator Barnes, but it shguld not be allowed to create a prejudice. The senate should consider if jitneys should be regulated, and if so, how. The judgment of the senate ought not to be influenced by a prejudice against the present traction com- panies. The regulation of the jitneys, if it was desired to regulate them, should be on the merits of the ques- tion and not according to the in- fluence of prejudice. The amendments were tabled for printing in the journal, W. S, ALLIS ON STATUTE REVISION BOARD Names of Six Members Announced by Governor Holcomb.
