OLD YEAR AND THE NEW RESOLVE Impressive New Year’s Sermon Deliv- ered by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D. The Old Year and the New Resolve the subject of an impressive New wa Year's sermon_delivered by Rev. Joel . Slocum, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, on Sunday evening. In part Dr. Slocum said The old year is ebbing out like the tide. In a few hours it will be low tide and all that we called 1916 will be a part of the eternity of the past. Then the tide of the new yvear will begin to come in. With the outgoing year many hopes, many fortunes and alas! many lives will go. ;,With the incom- ing year new hopes *will be born and new opportunities created. But life will continue very much in the same old way. Tomorrow will not be different from today. Its name will be different, that is all. We shall call it January 1st, 1917, but that will not change haracter. These anni- versaries are only the human marks that we put up for our convenience. But, notwithstanding all this, there is something impressive in the fact that another milestone has been reached in the pilgrimage of life. It is not time that goes. Time stays— we go. But each milestone that we reach is a reminder that we have been just that much longer on the road— just that much farther from the place where we began the journey, and that much nearer the end of the road. The old year suggests death. Some- thing that was, but no longer is. But, if it is not too much of a paradox, ceath implies Jife; and not sim@y the life_that has been, but the life that is to_be. In these northern~ climes winter seems synonymous with universal death. The trees seem ot be dead; but they are only sleeping. The spring- time will awaken them and bring them once more info beauty. So it is with the people and the things that passed vith the passing year. Though death came and took loved ones and our hearts were numbed with grief, yet those same loved ones vet live. This is a part of our Christian hope. Be- cause He, the Son of God, lives, we ehall live also. Also. the old vear suggests change There were many changes in the old year. Some of them pleasant and some of them painful. But there is Oné who does not change: who remains change- less throughout all the vicissitudes of the centuries. Change and decay in all around T see. O Thou who changest not, abide with me. Then, too, the old year reminds us of time. PBut over against time we place eternity. The soul of man was created for eternity. Time is a thin slice of eternity and measured by what we call hours, and days. and weeks, and months, and years. Immeasurable eternity beckons fo these souls of ours. What we do we must do quickly ir time, for eternity waits and calls. At the end of the road stands the ageless Christ. It was He who in- spired His apostie to write the words i have chosen for the text: “I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting. those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those ghings which are be- fcre, I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” This was the resolution of the apos- tle. Let eachgand all of us make it curs. The great aim and purpose of our life should be to win Jesus Christ and to make His aims and ideals our own. In order to do that we must fcrget the past. At least to all prac- tical purposes we must forget it by cutting away from all its entangle- ments. - Then flinging ourselves into tlie new year let us determine that we shall re: ze the great controlling pur- pose for which Christ called us into service. - We may make ever so many New Year resolutions, but if we forget to center all our physical and spiritual energies in attaining Him and His righteousness, we shall make out of life a miserable failure. The triumph- ant, living Christ is not only the goal but He is the road and companion of the journey. Let us commit ourselves to Him for the coming year- From Piles no matter how long or how bad—go to your druggist today and get a 50 cent box of Pyramid Pile Treatment.

Monday evening in Slater hall an- nex the Norwich Musical association provided a most enjoyable envening's entertainment, when Miss Margaret Jamieson was heard in a piano recital. Miss Jamieson is® well known in this ty. as she has played here previous- ly ‘and the high standard and finish of her work is self evident. The program as given by her was of wide range and great variety. The Beethoven Sonata, with its sudden changes of mood and tempo, was played with finish and decisiveness, and the lovely group of Chopin was very delicately rendered, the waltz being particularly appeal- ing. Paderewski’s rather complicated Theme Varie in A was certainly play- ed with style and distinction. Clair de Lune was very characteristic and Saint Saens Etude a brilliant and _very picasing composition. The Spinning Song from the Flying Dutchman. was rythmic and dashing. Miss jamieson showed most unusual ability and sym- pathy in interpretation and the verve and power of her playing was very remarkable.

Fresh disturbance arose in the Pal- mer shipyard late Saturday afternoon, the plumbing shop being the storm centre. Supt. Frank Meader was struck by a heavy piece of pipe in the hands of one of the men employ ed there and rendered unconsclous. An effort has been made to keep the matter as quiet as possible, but two arrests have been made by Dep- uty Sheriff F. Brown. the men having been put in the Groton lockup where court will be held tomorrow. They are Fred Pierce, the manager of the plumbing shop, and Archie Mc Nully. It is not known who struck Captain Meader. Officer Whipple, who was at another part of the yard, was summoned and as_he came through the door of the shop, report s he saw a man pre- paring to strike the unconscious su- perintendent. He fired an shot the man through the upper part of his arm. Both the wounded men were re- moved to the office of the plant and Dr. W. H. Hill and Dr. A. H. Meyers summoned. Only a short treatment was needed to bring Captain Meader back to a realization of his injuries and he found to be in much bet- ter condition than was feared. Daniel Shavro, the man who was shot, was taken to Lawrence hospital It was expected that court would be held Monday, but it was necessary to postpone it until today, when all the particulars of the aff: will be brought out. The men had_been celebrating the coming of the New Year and were in a more or less quarrelsome mood, it is said, and in _an al ion_which was going on when ( Meader entered the shop. He at once took a part, his injuries being the result. Blame is placed largely by. outsides on the fact that a great deal of li- quor is taken by the men both at work and after hours. Dilferent stor- ies are circulated but in ‘them all there is no blame attached to either the superintendent or the officer, who it is said, acted in defense of the cap- tain, who certainly would haye been killed had_the blow allesed to have been aimed at him not been diverted. Teh most concerned are not talking for the public and it is likely that the court proceedings will bring out a crowd of interested people. Captain Meader is able to be out rict Superintendent’s Busy Day Sunday was.a busy day for District Superintendent George G.

MIDDLETOWN MAN SUES FOR JITNEY CRASH Clarence J. Foss Claims $1,500 From a Willimantic Concern. As a result of a jitney accident in the town of Mansfield, last August, Clarence J. Fbss of Middletown, has brought suit against the Storrs Garage Co., of that place, to recover damages of -$1,500. J The suit is an interesting one, inas- much as Mr. Foss sets up some rather unusual features, says the Middletown Press. At the time o fthe accident, he was riding in a Ford car, with sev- en other passengers besides himself. He had been to Mansfield and was on his way to Willimantic. = The accident happened’ on August 7. ‘While on Spring Hill in the.town of ‘Mansfield, the automobile, owing to its weak and defective engine and the careless, incompetent and negligent manner in which- it was operated, stopped and commenced to run down the hill backwards, in the language of the complaint, “very rapidly.” Then the complaint states that the driver of the car, without.any warning, care- lessly and negligently turned it at right angles .to the read, thus causing the plaintiff to be thrown violently to. he ground. In consequence, the au- tomobile passed over his right leg and broke it. His left ankle was also sprained : and- his knee injured. In consequence of the accidet, Mr. Foss complains that he has suffered great pain and anquish and has been obliged to spend a lagge amount of money for the services of a physician. No fare was collected for the trip, but after the accident, Mr. Foss states that he offered to pay his fare ,but it was refused. The suit is brought through Judge George Burnham of Middletown, .and attachment has been made of a couple of automobile busses owned by the defendant com- pan FEDERAL INSPECTION.
