Indeed, the time seems not far distant when In 1859, when Norwich celebrated |men will habituaily rise superior to the completion of two centuries of ex- istence, Mr. Gilman points out the fact that this town was wholly desti- tute of such public convevances as omnibuses even, with the exception of William Bennett's ‘“accommocda- tion” between the town and supposed to make two trips daily. In 1865, John Hough ran a stage four times a day from retucket etreet to Bean Hill, while G. A. Bush- nell managed a line to Occum and Hanover. It was not until five years later, in 1870, that the first street car line was opened, from Franklin Square to Bean Hill. Several years afterwards, when electric power had come into use, this line was extended to Yantic. Other Forse power lines were later opened to Greeneville and the West Side. By 1909. when Norwich noted its Guarter millennium, these had all been replaced by electric trolley lines rad- jating to New London, Willimantic, Westerly. and Plainfield, thus bring- ing Norwich into ciose connection with the entire trolley system of New England. The extension of the New York and New Haven Railroad tracks on the east side of the Thames to Groton and New London, the building of a fine new railroad station in the vi- cinity of Franklin Square, and the extension of the New London North- ern Railroad connections, have more : than doubled the facilities for trans- ployer who was glad to be rid of him; but zood recommendations never kept a disagreeable or inefficient man in constant employment. This way of transferring _a nuisance from one place to another is weak and coward- ly; and injurious to all concerned. There is but one way to treat a man who is bent upon beating his wav through life instead of working his way through: and that is to maie his lack of sense or ability clear to him. He may know it, and the discovery that others know it may have a wholesome effect upon him. The| men who shirk duty and venture to help men who are not inclined to help themselves have much to answer for. Honesty put honor and pleasure into all business. and lack of it fore- chadows villainy anywhere. Sunday Morning Talk - EARS THAT HEED. “Take heed how ye hear,” is an impressive warning of our Lord. Be rot only a ready hearer, that is, but 2 careful and discriminating one. Many voices are speaking to us every day. We must heed if we are to catch their true messages. Do you, my reader, hear the music of nature? Do you recognize the robin's song and the mead: lark's cheerful trill? Are the notes of the thrush at eventide intelligible to you? Do you_ delight in the patter of the rain and in the wind's sweep throuzh leafy branches? If our ears were keener, we should hear whole orches- tras in this glorious world that God kas made. Loranzo was right in his conclusion: Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold. There’s not the smallest orb that thou behold’'st But in his motion like an angze] sings, Still quiring to the young-eved cher- ubins: Such harmony is in immortal souls, But while this muddy vesture of de- cay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hedt it. Do you really hear what people about you are saying? You may think you do, but what a chance for mistake is here. If you really heard, you would not straightway go forth, as may be your wont, to report their remarks so inaccurately. You would not so misquote your friends. Half the broken friendships. the miserable hatreds, yes, the lawsuits that fill our courts may be traced to careless list- ening. Only trained ears are competent to jndge between the true and the false, the worth while and the worthless i current conversation. To accept ev- ery opinion put forth, without process of judgment, is to _invite mental nd moral confusion. There is a good motto for reporters, for editers, for all of us, in fact. in the sentence from Thomas a Kempis: “It is wisdom not to believe everything that men say, nor presently to pour into the ears of others the things that we have heard or_pelieved.” Do you really learn anything through your eafs. Does your mind co-operate with yvour auditory nerves as vou hear the words of some wise speaker? How well informed some of us might become, but for our fool- ish insistence on doing all the talk- ing ourselves. An old proverb says: “He who_speaks sows: he who listens reaps.” The Greeks epoke of Epam- inondas as ‘the man who never say: anything, but will listen eternall That was the secret of the wisdom of Epaminondas. A good listener is a prime help to a speaker. Bear it in mind the next time you sit in an audience. Let me urge you, especlally to give your min- ister a chance as you sit in church next Sunday. He has something to say to you. He has prepared his mes- sage with thought and prayer. Help him, by vour svmpathetic attention, to give it forth effectively. There would be more good preachers if there were more good listeners. It is the minister's business, You say, to make vou listen. It is equally yours to make him preach. A shlpbuilder of the olden time, after hearing Whitefield preach, said: “I have usually been able to build three ships during 2 sermon, but this time I have not been able to lav a single timber.” But even Whitefield would have found his eloquence im- potent with stony hearted or dull minded hearers: even as ocean waves Gash themselves to pleces against the ciiffs. You owe something to the man who stands Sunday after Sunday in the pulpit to_declare the whole coun- sel of God. You owe him sympathetic t-ttent'lou. “Take heed how ye hear.” THE PARSON. supported the measure during his lution of the Norwich fire depart- ment.

Having thus summarized the town’s history in its relation to transporta- tion, Mr. Gilman refers to that other wonderfully useful phrase of electric- ity,—electric lighting. In 1859, he observes, kerosene oil, that inestimable benefaction to -the people who sat in darkness, was only beginning to come into general use, while coal gas was limited to the thickly settled parts of the town. By 1908, the marvelous electric light was extensively employed to il- Juminate the public streets and dwell- ings and places of business Since the city of Norwich took over the gas and electric light plant, the cost has been reduced to the com- sumer and a profit has occured to the public treasury “thus justifying,” Mr. Gilman writes, “the anticipations of Charles F.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Turn Their Efforts in Other and Better Directions. Mr. Editor: The letter sigred Clifford Williams_which appeared in The letin of July 11th is too absurd to of notice were it not that | some people who do not do much L. B! thinking might be fooled by it. His definition of the worst traitor we could have is foolish and shameful. He feels for the farmers who raise the grain. Mr. Williams, when men cannot spend their money for rum they can use it to buv that same grain in the form of bread to feed their children who are now only half fed. The men who work on lumber for barrels can work on lumber to build comfortable apartments or cottages for families who now live in one or two rooms, and sometimes get put out of even that little bit of a home because the rent money has gone for rum. The cabinet makers who make bar fixtures can work on bureauy for peo- ple who. as it is. would have no clothes to_put in one if they had it Foundrymen will make more -stoves for the people who now buy old. worn out stoves will be able to buy new- ones. So on through the list of workers whom you seem to think will be thrown out of work. Instead ¢ getting their living by the woes of their broth- ers. they will get it by working for the comfort of the number who are now miserable. Mr. Lincoln evidently gives the pub- c credit for intelligence enough to see without so much detail of expla- ration that the going out of the lquer business will not paralyze decent bhusi- ness, but I have met eome _terribly stupid people, so T offer the above. Mr. Williams, each of your letters is largely made up of misleading sen- tences. A HATER OF THE RUM TRAFFIC. Norwich Town, July 19, 181 THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society. Spandau, the munitions-factory center of Prussia and sometimes char- acterized as the “citadel of Berlin.” is described in the following war geog- raphy bulletin of the National Geogra- phic Society: 5 “It is, of course, impossible to sur- mise as to the extent of the damage caused by the recent exposion in a hand-grenade factory at Spandau, for the German censorship on news of such disasters is very rigid. ~ There are few richer fields for explosions in the German empire, than at Spandau, where, prior to the war, there were more 'than 200 acres of government arsenals, gun factories. and powder plants empioying more than 6,000 workmen. The extent of these mili- tary works has, of course, been vastly increased since the summer in 1914. “When the war began Spandau Had a population of more than 85,000, hav- ing nearly trebled In size since 1885.
