One bill provided for a combi- nation hunting and fishing license and a second for a fishing license only. Both measured passed the senate. The com- bination bill was killed in the holuse by an indefinite postponement and the other failed of passage because of the rush of business on the closing day. The fish and game committee intro- dnced seventy-eight bills but only one or two were new, the remainder being amendments to the present laws to make them stronger or to correct errors.

(Speeial to The Bulletin.) Washington, June 10.—Senator George P. McLean of Connecticut introduced the following petitions in the United States senate today: Petitions of a number of Connécticut churches urging the calling of a confer- ence of the nations on the reduction of armaments. Petitions of members of Near East re- lief committee of East Lyme and others urging that everything possible be done toward secring protection for the suffer- ing peoples of the Near East. Petitions of the Fabyan Woolen com- pany of Stafford Springs and the Mystic woolen mill of Mystic protesting against the enactmemt of the Capper truth-in- tabric bill 000 in cash to the town for a publie library. Books obtained by gift and pur- chase have been added from time to time, and the library has been under the faithful care and attention of - Miss Charlie Hallett as librarian. It has been | opened every week and has been a fine educator for that community. It is \'ery: largely patronized, especially now by | foreign born children in that locality. There have been collected in the Ii- brary, for preservation, things of much local interest, for instance, portraits of some of the distinguished persons who were born and lived in the town of 1 Preston. Among them is a picture of Jeremiah Halsey, D.D., who was borm in the south part of the town, and who was one of the most distinguished law- yers of our state. Another picture is that of James Brewster, who was born Preston, Aug. 6, 1788, and died in New! Haven, November 22, 1866, He was born!| on the place now owned by McClimon Brothers. He was a very distinguished citizen, and his descendants have been and are now the makers of the finest carriages and automobiles in this coun- try. He was the first president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rall- road Company, and was so generous that he furnished money from his own pocket to pay for the first rails laid on said road. This was when its credit was even poorer than it is at the pres- ent time. He founded two hospitals and gave the same to two different cities in this state. Another portrait in the H- brary is that of William H. Doane, Mus. D., who was a great musician. He was born in Preston in the year 1832. Attached to his portrait is the follo “Born in the year 1832 in this village; A distinguished writer of sacred songs; A successful business man; An honor to this town.” There is another portrait of Dr. James Cook Aver. He lived in the south part of the town and became a most distinguish- ed Preston man. Attached to his pic- ture is the following: - “Born May 5, 1818, His boyhood lived in Preston; A distinguished and skilful chemist; A public benefactor to suffering human- ity ; A successful business man and credit to the town.” It Is expected that other plctures will be collected from time to time which will add interest to the library and its com- tents. Judge William H. Shields of Norwich, who has a special interest in everything of this nature, has generous- ly provided the library with pictures of James Brewster and Jeremiah Halsey, nicely framed. Among others who were more or less distinguished during their lives, who were born and lived 'in Preston,’ were Hon. John D. Park, formerly chief jus- tice of the state of Connecticut; Hon. Lutber Zabriskie, who died in Mexico in the service of hig country, and Nathan D. Bates, who was United States mar- shal of Connecticut, as well as high sher- Ifft of New London county. Hon. Henry H. Starkweather, who was a distinguish- ed member of congress from .this dis- trict, and who was beloved by everyone who knew him, was another of Preston's sons. . The pictures of Charles H, and Lucius Brown, the donors of the library and monument, have been frequently so- licited, but both have declined up to the present time to grant the request. On the same plot in front of the - brary building, a monument has -been erected by Charles H. and Lucius Brown of Westerly granite, to mark this spot which was the home of that distinguish- ed Revolutionary character, General Samuel Mott, and also in memory of those who died for their country in the Civil war, ‘Placed upon the faces of said monument are the following inscriptions: Front face:—"“In grateful memory of those citizens of the Town of Preston who served their Country in arms in the War for the preservation of the Union.” South face:—"From this town, obedi- ent to the call of patriotism'and human- ity, went forth one hundred fifty men as goldiers in the Civil war.” Fast face:—“This monument marks the dwelling place of General Samuel Mott, an eminent citizen, upright magistrate, soldier of the Revolutionary War, and friends of Washington.” North face:—"“Erected in token of filial gratitude and of affection for their early home, and to commemorate the patriotic devotion of friends and neighbors of thelr youth, by Charles and Lucius Brown. 1898." The dedication of the monument and library was a notable gathering. Rev. Samuel Howe, D.D.. gave a most cul- tured address on what alibrary meant to a community, and Governor Thomas W. Waller was another of the distin- guished speakers on this occasion. Ar- thur M. Brewer, Esq, of Norwich, pre- sided, There have been placed upon the front of this plot, on eher side of the ap- proach to the monument and library, two mortars, which were used in the Civil war. These were secured from the United States government through the kindly efforts of the late Charles A. Russell, formerly congressman from this district. There has just been secured a beau- tiful bronze tablet, 2 ft. by 3 ft., pald for by the town, which Is to be attached to the front or west face of the monument, which contains the nam ¢ of 47 men who were in the World War, being a complete list of all those serving in the war from the town of Preston. It is hoped and expected from time to time in the future that citizens will contribute to a fund which shall make it possible to secure more boaks and to take proper care of said property. PREACHES ON WHAT I8 MEANING OF SALVATION On Sunday morning at the Trinity Methodist church, the pastor, Robert L. Roberts, preached on What Salvation Means to Me. He said in part: In a recent arlicle the Itaguan pub- licist ana radical Giovanni Papini de- clares that Christianity has yet to do its work among us and he summons the church to the ministry of teaching the Christian faith. He says that °.he nropagation of the fundamental Chris- tian truths among the people today has all the perils and all the attractiveness of an enterprise absolutely new,” the enterprise of “causing to enter into the spirit of men and into their daily con- duct those very truths which in the last analysis are the only omes that can sdve ourselves and the world.” This might ! seem like an extrerie statement if it were not so true. A study of both the British and the American soldier in France is published in which the conclusien is veached manhood of these so-called Christian na- tions who went into the war did- not ¥now what real Christiapity was. This \s a terrible indictment of the church ag a teacher of Christian truth, or of the pupil who received his training in the church. Surprising how many s its real meaning. Any thought of Chris- tianity must be colored by what Christ means to us, because Christianity is Christ.! Not a creed to be believed but a ife to be lived. The Christian has ‘in him a new divine life and that life is Christ. He thus becomes a new crea- ture which is human plus divine—"a par- taker of the divine nature.” The key to the real meaning of salvation is here. Many fail to grasp this and mistake the essential fact of Christian salvation. Some think that a soldier who fell fighting in France was saved by the mere fact of bhis sacrificial death but surely that is the faith of Islam and uot the teaching of Christ. Some say that those who stood aside and-let the women go free while they went down with the Titanic were by their act of sa- crificial chivalry saved from sin and to wll that waits for the Christian. They bought their way “into heaven by thelr deed. Now while all must recognize the high merit of such deeds, this is surely not the way of salvation, in the religions sense. These deeds have their reward but it is not salvation. The preacher pointed out some essen- tial factors in salvation. a. It is not mere immunity from pen- aity. That might not be salvation at all. You may free a criminal from penalty but not #ave him. He may remain & villian still, whie he might have stay- ed in jail and become a new man. .Sal- vation is not so much something done for you as it is something done in you. It is making one new moraily. It is something you berome not something you get. Escape from penalty is an in- cidental of this process. No matter how cotrect your beliefs, your manners, or your habits of life may be unless you have the new life Christ came to give you are not in the way of salvation. b. Salvation means a resurrection of 2 man’s nature. According to the whole tenor of the New Testament “salvation is a change in 'a person’s nature so deep, so radical, so vital as to be equal to a res- urrection from the dead.” A new life must come first, but it must.be nour- ished and must make the whole man over. Salvation means strength to do God's will. It is no easy process. It is not indulging in- devout and ‘pleasant emotion. . Emotion is good .but it must run the life, not. merely blow the whis- tie. ' The drunkard becomes sober, the profane pure, the profiteer -honest—a new man emerges.” c. Salvation means good works. It Is not obtained threagh:good works, but produces them. They are the fruits of salvation, not the roots. . “This life is the exercising ground for the new creature.” By wrestling with its difficulties we be- come strong. Good works are the stated duties of the new man.' Saved to serve and save sums that duty. d. Salvation means fellowship with Christ. How different this from simply heing freed- from penalty for sin-or sin Itself. This means umion - with Christ, Having same quality” of “joy, peace, power over sin, as he. Having his advics on life's’ problems, his instruction in all the secrets of .right ‘living, his bretherly sympathy and friendship all aleng lite's rugged way. All life - different In such company and under such mag- netic influence the new ecreaturs grows strong. e. Salvation means also heirship with| Christ. The eternal kingdom ‘belongs to “those who-are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvatioh.” Not only does the Christian live in God's family, he also shares in the family estates and that four-fifths of the young| | | received the degree of the order at 2 class initiation in St. Mary’s hall Sun- day afternoon. In addition the degree Wwas conferred on a class of 25 from New Londpn, 25 from Rockville, 25 from Thompsonville, and 30 from New Haven. The degree work was put on by the Danbury degree team comprising thirty, and led by Miss. Helen Ward. This is the first time the degree has been work- ed in Norwich. Mercier council” has formed a degree team but before the Norwich team could put on any work it was necessary to have an experienced team work the desree here first. The local degrae team will hereafter look out for the degree work in this part of the state. The long session opened at one o'- clock and the programme included, be- sides the degree work, addresses by Rev. William H. Kennedy, chaplain of the council Rev. Willlam A..

TOLLAND COUNTY LIFER AGAIN APPLIES FOE PARDON Charles Henry Bishop, Prisoner No. 1855, who was sentenced by the Tolland county superior court to life imprison- ment at Wethersfield, JDec. 20, 1906, for second degree murder, is again making an_application for a pardon. Bishop will be given a hearing before the state board of pardons at their meeting Mon- day, June 13. He has been refused a pardon on three previous applications. Bishop was born in Nova Scotia and 4s now 33 years old. In his application for a pardon a copy of which has been reecived by State’s Attorney . Thomas Noone in Rockville, Bishop states that it his first time jn prison, that this is the fourth time he has applied for & re- lease, and that at the time the crime was committed he was subject to epilep- tic fits and that the crime was commit- ted immediately after one of these fits Bishop also states that he has mot had one of these fits for the past seven or eight years. He also . states that his mother is seriously ill and that he wants to see her before death. The crime for which Bishop is serving a life sentence was committed November 8, 1906. Mrs. Henry Willlams, wife of a farmer living on what is known as the Lathrop farm in the extreme northeast part of Tolland, was found murdered about 2 o'cock that afternoon. There was a deep gash in her throat and also several knife wounds on her head and a towel tied tightly about her neck. Bishop was only 18 years old at the time. CALVIN WILCOX HOUSE AND BARN ARE BURNED ‘The house and barn owned by Calvin Wilcox in Lisbon were burned to -the ground Sunday afternoon. Mr. Wilcox and his son were in the house and an- other son coming towrad the house saw fire in the barn. How it started was a mystery. The two buildings are con- nected, and although an army truck of men and the Jewett City chemical truck worked faithfully, the buildings burned to the ground. Most of the furniture was saved, also Mr. Wilcox's valuabie collection of books. The contents of the barn were a total loss. The Jewett City truck made the run in three minutes, The men used 300 gallons of chemical, but the blaze was under too great headway when the firemen arrived. One side of the truck was scorched as it was im- possible to get) far enough away from the house. Mr. and Mrs." Arthur Green occcupled part of the house, and Mr., Green was badly cut on the knee. Mr. Wilcox who s in poor health was taken to his home in Shewville, later in the afternoen. —_— Represented State of Connecticut. Capt. Thomas J.
