Heavy AREASURY NOTES IN DEMAND AT NORWICH POST OFFICE The Norwich postoffice is having many calls for the United States treasury cer- tificates which this month are bought at $3.20 and yield an even $100 at their maturity on Jan. 1, 1825. = The attractiveness of tsese as a place where the small investor can put his money from time to time is shown by the the following quotations from the gov- ernment circulars on the subject. They are free from stock market fluc- tuations. The value of investments ingreases from month to month. It can never be less than what you paid. The Govern- ment of the United States guarantees Can you ask for a better assur- ance. The registration of these certificates at the United States Treasury Department, your local bank or post office, and at the Federal Reserve Bank, Boston, pro- tects you in case of fire, theft, or other loss. The interest you receive is the differ- ence between what you pay and the ma- turnity value of the certificate. It is equal to about 4 1-4 per cent. if held un- til January 1, 1925. ‘If you wish to re- desm them before maturnity you get about 3 per cent. And you are sure to get the income promised. Thrift stamps and war savings stamps, however, are not being called for the way they should be, says Postmaster John P. Murphy, considering the good investment they are. They can be cashed at any time when presented at the post office, with interest added to the purchase price. The postmaster desires to caution the holders of government bonds against disposing of them at reduced market values as there s no mecessity of mak- ing such sacrifices. Temporary loans can be secured on them if the bond holder is in need of money and information rela- tive to anw om the government securities will cheerfully be given by the postmast- er. SPIRITUAL ACADEMY CROWDED TO HEAR MRS. I. C. BRADLEY A brief address, followed by psychic readings by Mrs. Isabel C. Bradley of Boston, noted ballot medium and psychie, featured the closing service of the sea- son Sunday evening at the Spiritual academy. The attendance was among the largest of the vear, every available seat being taken, and extra chairs were placed in the aisles to accommodate the crowd. Mrs. Bradley In her address outlined conditions as they may be expected after passage from earthly life, according to the Spiritualists’ viewpoint. Rev. A. P. Blinn, minister of the acad- emy, spoke briefly at the close of Mrs. Bradley's address. Rev. Mr. Blinn said that although he regretted this was thr closing meeting of the spring and sum- mer, he is looking forward with pleasure to the opening meeting on the first Sun- day of October, when Mrs. Bradley will again be present. Rev. Mr. Blinn called attentlon to the fact that during the 15 years he has been at the head of the union this has been the most successful vear financially, in point of new members received and in point of attendance. In fact, it has been the most successful of any of the 35 years the church has been in existence. He an- nounced a social for this (Monday) even- ing and the annual meetings of the Helping Hands and Spiritual academy Tuesday evening. Following Rev. Mr. Blinn's remarks, Mrs. Charles A. Dowsett was heard in an excellently rendered violin solo, accom- panied by Mr. Dowsett at the orzan. Psychic readings by Mrs. Bradley were then heard. Mrs. Bradley was in com- munication with spirits of the other world for about a half hour, during which time she transmitted to members of the congregation messages from those whe have passed from this life into the spir- itual world.

ANSWERS THE QUESTION WHAT CHRISTIAN LIFE PROMISES Peter's question was pertinent and Jesus' reply affluent in promise, said Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe in his sermon Sun- day morning at Park Congregational church from the text Matthew 19-27, We [| have left all; what shall we have? Dr. Howe said in part: Jesus had just been interviewed by the young ruler who wanted to know the price of discipleship and was told to sell all and give it away. FPeter wanted to know what he and his fellow disciples would get who had forsaken all and was told that their sacrifices would win them equivalents with a margin. Jesus' an- swers to questions were not always iden- tical though not contradictory. Peter's question was not out of place but a nat- ural question. The religious appeal does not disregard rewards. Jesus appealed to rewards: “Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life,” The fruits of great living are continually pressed to the front. These young Galileans rightly wanted to' know what sort of an enterprice they were em- barked in. Nobody ought to fling out his life on an entervrise #without learn- ing what was to be It outcome. This| world and the other world were to be drawn upon as motives. Peter's question was pertinent and Jesus' reply affluent in promise. The question only looks small because of the wealthy response. Yes, there is a forsaking, an off-cast- ing of the world and many of the legiti- mate things for which men live. There is a world fair and beautiful with high and fine ministries; the home of beau- ty and of order and of law; the bounti- tul purveyor to all our elemental needs and necessities, appealing to us by its ‘majesties and its mysteries, to our sense >f wonder, admiration and awe. And there is another world under the vower of evil, where good things are twisted into strange and unnatural con- jortions; the lair of temptation. The world construed into an evil agency hos tile to the higher interests of the soul, whose false standards are hostile to the great life we are set to live. And there is a world construed as an >nd, an ultimate, a finality, a world that overworks and overabsorbs the pri- mary and palmary forces of the soul Men can be overabsorbed with the world at its best. Charles Darwin is in many ways the most commanding and revolu- tionary figure in the nineteenth centuhy and yet in_ the worthy unveiling of .the laws of the world he purchased his stc- cesses at the cost of the loss of his love of music and poetry and religion. The good eclipsed and rendered nugatory the best. This was not inevitable, for the most devoted men of science have not lost their vision of the highest. The great champion of the inductive system in science and philosophy remained a be- liever. The discoverer of gravitation did not let nature eclipse the face of God. Brewster and Hershell and Faraday and Morse and Gray and Dana were devout believers in the spiritual world. Phy- sical investigation did not blind them. So men are often found pursuing weaith to their undoing. We have “giants bur- fed under mountains of gold,” turning the choice gifts of nrovidence into in- struments for corroding and hard-grit- ting the very substance of the soul. And yet we have great captains of industry, past masters in the accumulation .and use of wealth who are the great knights of the spiritual chivalry, using their wealth in the best interest of the world and of their own spiritual life. Now to the question of Peter we have a great answer in terms largely literal and in terms of equivalence. Forsaking friendships held in a narrow sense gets them back transformed. If these men! lost friendship they gained it in higher| senses. If they want out from fisher- man associations they drew the love and admiration of the great and good of all the ages. If they lost a tradesman’s gains they gained pedestals which have lifted them up to the gaze of a muiti- tude no man can number. But the gain is personal and experi- mental in a deeper sense. We get a new self. We get ourselves at our best. We get, like the planet of the new astron- omy, 2 new orbit, new type of great- ness, the greatness of loyalty to a high- er will. a new vision, a wider outlook, a new life that is unhorizoned a 1life lim- itless in its range and reach. A new peace and rest, a new courage to face the actual facts of life, even the mas- tery of sin and sorrow and death, fear- ing no yesterdays, dreading no tomor- rows, And we get a big program. Our sym- pathies and interests and activities go out on a world-wide field. And here we are in the sweep of the big ocean. Yes. that hath been with me in the re- generation in the great world-building work in which I am engaged. This was their supreme reward, their supreme dis- tinction. Jesus can do nothing greater for a life than to take it into copartnery with himself in the world’s regeneration. Yes, the supreme earthly reward of for- saking and following is a heroic task, a aew heroism that takes risks and makes sacrifices, that does not count costs or cultivate prudential safeguards. This is ‘he note that appeals to men. On this Jesus bore emphasis. He offers difficult tasks and big ones. not a child's tasks dut a man's dead lifts, are Christ's re- ward of discipleship. We may resent rewards on lower planes but Jesus Christ makes heroic service the guerden of His loyal followers. But he adds in the world to come the life everlasting.

Christianity is the religion of eternity. Kternity is the thing to get ready for, the chief thing that matters. It is true life here that passes current in all worlds. It is that life that counter-balances earth's limita- tions, makes moral heroisms and all sac- rificial endeavors worth while. We have only got the knack of living when we! die. Blessed is the man who has eter- nity to try out these experiments and ventures of right living which the pres- ent imposes. NEXT TELEPHONE BULLETIN MORE CONVENIENT TO HANDLE The summer issue of the Connecticut telephone directory, which will appear in July, will be a real economy issue. More than 100 tons'of newsprint paper, of which there is such a severe shortage, will be saved on this issue alone. Fur- thermore, the telephone directory will be smaller in size, lighter in weight and, in consequence, Wwill be more convenient to handle. Strictly speaking, the next telephone directory .will not be a “Connecticut” di- rectory. The current and all past issues carried the. listings of every telephone in the state. Telephone subscribers in New Haven, for instance, were given a book containing the- listings in exchanges in every part of the state, for most of which the subscribers seldom, if ever, had any use. The forthcoming directory will be five parts, one for each of the districts into which the state telephone company for -business reasons. Thus the subscribers in each of the twelve exchanges in New Haven district will receive a New Haven district book ; all the subscribers in each of the four- inj is- divided by thel !teen exchanges in the Hartford district will receive a Hartford district book and &0 on. This departure from long estab- lished custom is forced in large degree, by the shortage of newsprint, but it is felt that the reduced size and weight of the book will be received favorably by the telephone using public the ~ COUNTY BAR ARRA FOR MEMORIAL MEETING Memorials for four attorneys of this in county whose deaths have occurred the past year are to be presented on F day, June 4, at 9.30 a. m. at a meeting of the New London county bar.
