Sending from a Christian nation to the heathen missionaries on one ship and save its life—rum gicklu i never promotes it. Those old Chinese scholars were endowed with a n perception and the power of expression to turn absurdities into useful prov- erbs. I ghouldn’t wonder if we had all of ud at some time in our lives bought a dried fish to save its life— sclentest speaks to us of the errors of mortal mind even if we profess to be children of God abiding in his love. Have you ever asked yourself what there is in this to laugh at? “Oh, it sounds eo ridiculous!” you say. Has it never occurred to you that ome of man's greatest faults manifests itself thief; arson a fire-bug; profanity, a swearer; blasphemy, @& blasphemer. Now isn’t it an error of mortal mind when man through evil thought brings these conditions into existence. They could not exist without the evil thought and wicked action. We haven't got to argue this for it is self- evident. The Christian scientists did not discover this error of the mortal mind habit, but they brought it out into the light anew. We do not have to be a Christian scientist to see it. I Too many people have a very in- definite idea of what faith really is. They have learned that “faith is the any old thing a religious crank, or any other crank, may tell them about to The brig Little Joo and the sloop Little Nat, Miss Caulkins tells us in her valuable History of Norwich, re- ferred to two young members of the Howland family. The brig Josephus indicated that Joseph Williams, then a large shipowner, was interested in with Dutch Guinea. Such _names as Negotiator, Enter- priser, Regulator, serve to indicate the solid and substantial character or eir owners. , The ship Three Friends, the historian buggests, probably origi- nated from the amicable relations of its thres owners, Colt, and ies. . The ship Eleven Sons, of this per- iod, owned in New London, and the schooner Nine Sisters, belonging to the Connecticut River, were probably founded on fact, during an age when large families were the glory of New England households. The schooner Turn-of-Times, built during the Revolutionary war, hints at the desire of the townspeople for the return of peace.. Unfortunately, the craft was captured before that I# the Norwich vessels were of i terest, much more so were their mas- ters. One of the oldest in the town’ er he lived it is impossible to discover. At that time he was the only one of the Vl.:l)“!erdln‘lll P, ports, as well as those on the north- of South America, the e angel in the Arctic ocean. In 1800, Capt. Colver purchased what was then considered a fine resi- dence on Franklin street, Norwich, believed by local historians to have occupied a site on or near that of the present German Lutheran church. He was accustomed, during Miss Caul- king’ time, to furnish occasional ma- rine reports for the newspapers, as he enjoved a peaceful and comfortable old age, after his years at sea. One Norwich woman, well informed on local history and traditions, recalls straight as an Indian, as he_used to attend services at Trinity Episcopal church, accompanied by his two un- married daughters, Bliza and Lydia. Both of these daughters died at ad- vanced ages in the Eliza Huntington Memorial Home, on Washington street. One, Miss Lydia, was for many years a leading milliner in Nor- Norwich history spelled Culver: and so it has continued to*our own times. In addition to the trade with the West Indies, which flourished so up to the time of the war of the early years of 1800, Norwich merchants were accustomed to make direct im- portations from England. Two or three times each year a vessel sent out from the Connecticut Thames would accomplish the trip across the Atlantic, returning duly with a cargo 1 avoruus-;-.o e ea am not one, but I feel like thanking| blessed turn-of-times came. of assorted goods and “the freshest g 44123 ggrc:mzfui?;;;ng;m&u rl:::z th]:( 1503 them for their good work. advices from London.” Following the e | 5,920 nstra ° a e establishment of peace, this trade was renewed, but with diminished enter- prise.

As ths chief executive well says, the honor and self respect of the nation is involved and while peace is desired and will be preserved whenever pos- sible, no policy can be accepted which will mean a loss of honor. There are rights of neutral nations as well as those of belligerents and it behooves the neutrals to stand as rigldly for them now as at any other time. There can be no showing of the white fea- ther. There can be no surrender of rights to one belligerent without knuckling to the others and there is no cause for doing anything but fol- low the straight and narrow path. The exhibition by certain members of con- gress is most cowardly and unpatrio- tic under the existing circumstances. AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO. ‘While some opposition has mani- fested 1itself to the appointment of Henry Fletcher as ambassador to Mexico it is not believed that it will amount to’ enough to prevent the ap- proval of the nomination by the sen- ate. At the present time this country has no ambassador in Mexico. It has been without much representation since Charge-0'Shaughnessy was called home during the Huerta regime and the chief cbjection to-the appointment Is that the'Mexican government is not on a firm basis. It is pevertheless a fact that this sountry has given recognftion to Car- ranza under the bellef that he‘has the for March will be a dry moon. The man on the corner inquires: If man sprang from a monkey why is there not a greater demand for co- coanuts? The rain has brought back to use and view a lot of sidewalks which have been out of sight for the past fortnight or more. A Meriden assessor declares that that city is living beyond its income. That is getting to be a bad habit with states as well as cities. The grand opera season in Chicago has closed with a.deficit of $98,000, but no one ever heard such a report about the moving picture business. The movement in congress for warning Americans against sailing on armed ships bore all the stamps of Bryan before he sent a telegram urge ing 1t ‘With the reported surrender of Car- ranza’s men to Villa there might be ground for suspecting that the latter had recently come into possession of 2 gold mine. e o Those members of congress who are edvocating the pulling down of the flag and sanctioning the breaking of international law by Germany ought to make a big hit among their con- stituents. should be square measure—sobriety and drunkenness can never make good comrades. What's the use of falling into love anyway? Why not walk in for the best there is, and then ablde in harmony which is the condition which invites happiness to come flitting in to stay, A great many poor relations are Hv- ing in hopes, and a great many rich relatives are living in fear—that the poor relations will get their money. Rich relations too often scheme to blast the hopes of their poor relations; but it has often been proved that the wisest and most humane thing they could have done would have been to have let the laws governing hereditary take their course. A man has a right to give his fortune to a brass band if he wants too; and what 1is likely to glve rise to more unanticipated music? Those who are waiting to step into dead men’s shoes are not happy, for it is an irksome job—and uncertain. What do vou suppose prompts the poor to hope for so much and the rich to resolve they shall have so lit- tle? Perhaps it is because Success always look askance at incompetence These great gulfs seem to be a natu- ral result of conditions; and this is why nothing can be done about it. The tub that eits on its own bottom lasts longest. You do mot belleve thought is en- ergy. You are not alone, most people have no conception whatever of fits power. The moment you think you are not well you are becoming sick. There may be a real cause for the thought, or there may not have been, but the effect is just the same. When you are enjoying yourself let a thought of disappoinment creep into your mind The average wall looks pretty high and solid to the average man. He is content to sit down on the nether side of it, without attempting an assault. By middle life one has been consider- ably sobered by earlier experiences of defeat. In the dull lexicon of matur- ity there are usually several such words as “fail” A sort of paralysis of the will takes possession of John Henry when things get hard. That is why things are so apt to get harder. It is the exceptional man who can press on in spite of difficulty. Such grit it is that makes him exceptional. ‘To push & tunnel beneath a river, or a bridge across a canyon, to write a book, or to perfect a machine, requires skill, but first of all, patience. Morse and Bell and Marconi and_ Edison, to mention a single class of workers, have shown exceptional power to per- sist. They have kept pegging away after the other fellow has stopped. Carlyle spent several years in labor- ious research and patient writing be- fore his “History of the French Rev- olution” was ready for the printer. Then one day, the housemaid went to his study and, seeing the manuscript lying in some confusion on his desk, thought to tidy up the room b yseizing the whole pile and throwing it n_the fire. Average men would have been crushed by the disaster, but Carlyle simply grasped his pen anew next morning and started to rewrite his pages. 1t is open to eany of us to emulate the persistence, If not the brilliancy of the great. More often than we suspect, genius proves to be just what it has been called—infinite capacity for taking pains.

Mr. Editor: The remarks of Another Citizen printed in your issue of Feb. 22 concerning the medical inspection question would have been much more interesting and to the point had he made an intelligent attempt to show in what way our children are to be benefited by turning our schools into hospitals, and perhaps shed some light on the question of the legality of this proceeding. His gratultous advice to our citizens to enlist the activities of the “Chamber of Commerce to aid in settlement of the matter is uncalled for. If he is laboring under the delu- sion that this fight for medical free- dom has or will degenerate into a scramble for political favor or power he makes the mistake of his life. The sole end and alm of this contention is to protect the lives and health of our school children and In doing less than this we should prove ourselves less than human. Again, he advises many citizens to go to the legislature and have this law repealed if they don't ke it. He evidently knows very lit- tle of the matter when he proffers this advice, and has never witnessed the . A YEAR AGO TODAY .. Feb. 26, 1918, French made gains en the Meu: Battle in East on 260 mile front and Germans retired in Przasnyz region, but captured 11 Russian genrals in Mazurian lakes battle.
