D., Tells Life Story of Paul, the Messenger, at Central Baptist Church—Lecture Illus- trated by Many Handsome Slides—62 Attend City Bible Class Rally Day Service in Spite of Stormy Weather. Although the stormy weather had its effect on the attendance at the {l- lustrgted lecture at the Central Baptist church on Sunday evenln{y nearly one hundred people braved the elements to hear the story of Paul,the Mesenger who carried the good news to our ancestors, interesting'y told by the church pastor, Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum, The service opened with the singing of the hymn, Christmas, and then Rev. Dr. Slocum read as the scripture se- legtion, Acts 26: 1-20| The anthem followed by an earnest prayer and the offering was taken. The singing of two hymns, thrown on the screen, preceded Rev. Dr. Slocum’s lecture. After reviewing Paul's early life and missionary journeys, Rev. Dr. Slo- cum said: Paul's great desire, ex- presed over and over, was to go to Rome and give his personal testi- mony. those in the heart of the great empire. Most scholars believe that his letter to the Romans was writ- ten during a stay in Corinth. But one strong reason and another de- layed carrying out the plan for a Roman journey. Paul did, in fact, turn eastward instead of westward, and among other places in Asia Minor he went to Ephesus. Paul went to Jerusalem to worship as he always did, at the Temple. For we must remember that, even at this stage of Christianity's development, nobody quite realized that Christiani- ty was bound to separate itself from the old Mosaic ceremonies. You remember they were watching Paul's every mevement when he visit- ed the Temple, and in some way or other the story arose that he had taken one of the Gentile converts with him into the large open court. The rule was that no Gentile should ever pass beyond the line of a certain building. As a matter of fact he probably had not dome it, but that was the rumor. Paul was hurried away by the Roman soldiers to prevent a riot on the Tem- »le premises. To save his life the Jerusalem chief of police sent him secretly by night, with an armed guard and delivered him over into the weeping of the Ro- man governor at Caesarea. Here again Paul stood up valorously for the faith. The letters written during the Apostle’s Roman days are full of re- flection: and allusions growing naturally to some extent out of what he found in the strenuous life of the empire’s centre. Rome was a noto- lous centre of gay living and dissi- pation. Paul wrote from here to the Ephesians, “He that soweth to the fAesh reap corruption.” Rome was a place where military splendor was perpetually on parade. Paul wrote from here describing the armor of a Christian warrior with the fleld of faith and with the sword of the spirit. Rome was then the most cosmopoli- tan city on earth, where every known nationality was represented in _the mixed population. Paul wrote from there to the Colossians his vision of the universality of the Christian com- munion, where there should bo no dis- tinction of race—no talk neither of Greek or Jew, barbarian nor Scythian, but that all should be one in broth- hood. For centuries the place of his bur- ial outside the walls bore no mark of honor. It was remembered only by a few faithful friends. Then Constan- tine, the first imperial convert to Christianity, tried to make up for the crime of his predecessors, and he built a church over the martyr's grave. Tho church has since several times been built. On the bronze canopy over the altar you can read two words of an inscription in his honor—Praedicator Veritatis—A Teacher of the Truth. His dust lies unseen below tge al- tar. But his heroic work has been growing and blossoming and multi- plying ever since, through the rain and sunshine of all the intervening centuries. Its fruit we see all around us. And the seed of its fruit is still being planted to bring forth more fruit unto the Lord’s own harvest. The fifty or more colored lantern slides were unusually handsome and were favorably commented upon by a number of those present. In the City Bible Class for Men. In the City Bible class for men the attendance numbered 62 inspite of the stormy weather. The session was a very enthusiastic one and the subject was Lincoln. Fred Klein and Col Charles W. Gale gave interesting rem- iniscences of Mr. Lincoln. «Colonel Gale saw him when he visited Nor- wich on one of his political campaigns and Mr. Kilein had the honor of shak- ing hands with Mr. Lincoln. Interest- ing remarks were also made by C. D. Noyes, Calvin J. Roath, Joseph S. Ad- ams and John B. Day. Henry S. Gay of Scotland road, who saw Mr. Lin- coln, was unable to attend the meet- ing, but his message was delivered to the men by Rev. Dr. Slocum, PRESENTED ELKS’ BUTTON UPON RETIREMENT Charles F. Whitney, City Editor of Bulletin for Past Four Years, Goes to City By the S Following closing up time Saturday morning the members of the editorial and composing rooms of The Bulletin assembled for an informal lunch at which Night Editor Eugene F.

C. Broadhurst, a member of the staff for severa] years. C. E. UNION HELD ANNUAL PRAYER MEETING At Fedorated Church Sunday Evening —Address Delivered by Willis Hill The annual prayer meeting of the Norwich District Christian Endeavor Union was held at the Federated church, Greeneville, Sunday evening with a’fair attendance considering the stormy conditions. Willis Hill of the Federated Church Union, was the leader and addressed the meeting, taking for his subject, In- fluence Others For Good. Among some of the things he said were: The character of a man has great influence and we must stand behind our words and actions. Many people have bet- ter characters than they get credit for and in many cases they are wrongly judged. A happy smile and kind words go a long way in winning confidence. A cheerful and happy disposition is a great help and source of strength in spiritual life. Jesus left us a warning, to influence only good, not evil. Every person’s influence Is either good or harmful. If we have faith in God and trust in Him we will get along all right. Following the talk several gave per- sonal testimonies. An orchestra comprising members of the Federated Church Union play- ed selections. ARRESTED FOR NON-SUPPORT. Julian L. M. Har Taken in Charge by Police Upon Arrival in This City from Hartford.

SHORE LINE ELECTRIFICATION I8 NEST IN ORDER. Contract For Four Line Section From Groton to Midway Awarded—More Work at South Lyme. The next in order of the Shore Line division improvements is to be the four- of a section the city of New London, according to re- ports that the New Haven officials is not yet ready to verify, says the New Haven Times Leader. At the’ time this job is started or soon afterward, two other sections of four tracking are to be tackled. One of them will be much nearer New Ha- ven than any of the others. Another is to be in the vicinity of the Niantic bridge. Figures for the construction of these pleces of four are be- ing gathered for the raliroad and the contract may be awarded as soon as ::m directors have approved the opera- ons. The New Haven road will not official- nounce any of the proposed im- provements until the directors have set their seal of approval on them, and the directors are approving the jobs only when there is enough money in sight to pay for the work. This “pay-as-we-go” policy is expected to give the road in due time a first-class property and the best equipment possible. Funds already in hand are sufficent to pay for the Thames river bridge and for $180,000 piece of four tracking be yond the bridge in the town of Ston- ington. There are funds also for the four tracking of the branch line through Old Saybrook, which would practically turn that line into a rafl- road yard. 'Besides this the road is financing and doing with its own gangs the work of installing additional sid- ing on either side the Connecticut riv- er. ‘When the Times-Leader inquired as to the possible work in New London and at Niantic the road handed out an official statement as follows: “Contract for a four track section between Groton and Midway has been awarded to the Lathrop & Shea Co.: worgy to §2 commenced at once, The improvement contemplates construc- tion of 3.1 miles of four tradk railroad with grade reduction in order to facili- tate movement of trains between Mid- way and New London. TNe grade Is rednuced from 40 feet per mile to 30 feet per mile and the work includes the widening of three highway bridges. “There is no work under way west of ‘Winthrop cove or east of New Haven. However, a siding is to be extended at South Lyme, work to be done by com- pany forces, and possibly this refers to that near Niantic bridge.” There was no intimation that the work was under way, in the query, but it is an open secret in _many places that the road will undertake these jobs in three places as the next sten in their four tracking plan. It is the Shore Line division that is to get the next electrification. Had the road not slumped so tremondously the mnew electrification work would have been started this spring and sec- tion electrified would line from Boston to Providence. Of- ficlals still have the job in mind and expect to undertake it when times are ripe for such work. ‘With the Boston.Providence and the New York-New Hayen section running under electric power, the New Haven's heaviest traffic zones would be cared for completely. And with a four track- ed Shore line in operation the elec- trification would then be extended from Providence to New Haven, and =0 the road would have an extremely up-to-date route between Boston and New York, That the plan is possible, thousgh probably a considerable distance in the future, is admitted by men interested in_the work. Since the completion of the New Haver’s power plant at Cos Cab the views of the road's officials on power supply have changed radicaily. They believe it would be much cheaper and better for the road to buy its electric power than to generate it. “Vfe are not making our own coal,” the officials argued, “so there is no rea son why we should make our electrici- ty. Spending money to build power houses is somewhat similar to buying and operating coal mines.” This theory took root in the minds of the officials and caused the plans for a big power house at Cedar Hill to be pigeon-holed. These plans were drawn up before the power buving idea was thoroughly presented and before the New York Edison company set a figure for power from its big plant in the Bronx. The New York Edison ser- vice is so satisfactorq that the whole electrification ideas of the New Haven road were rezolutionized and now, if a rossible purchaser were to appear, the road might be willing to sell its Cos Cob power house and buy all its cur- rent from private corporations. It is likely that the United Illuminat- ing company of New Haven and Bridgeport, may have had this in mind when the company began plans for a huge power plant on the Housatonic river near the railroad bridge. When preliminary surveyes on this property were made, it is reported that the New Haven road was to build the power house there. Put the United INluminating company hopes some day to have a plant there from which both Bridgeport and New Haven can be handled. and all the ter- ritory in between. The present power plants in both cities would then be used a= sub-stations to handle current transgitteq from the Mlilford shore of the Housatonic river. The United Illuminating company’s plan is one for the future and proba- bly wil not be ready much before the New Haven’s Shore Line is fully elec trified.
