A, A very interesting men’s meeting was conducted at the Y. M. C. A. Sun_ | day -afternoon under the leadership of Assistant Secréfary Rinehart. The meet- ing was held in the form of a discus- sion en the topic of ‘The Use and Metimod of Becoming a Christian.” A number of the men present participated in the discussion and many heipful com- ments were' given. From \the sugges- tions given, it became apparent that becoming a Chtistian called for a num- ber of elements chief of which were fait¥, rapéntance, declsion decjaration and service. The value of being a Christian brought forth a series of re- plies somewhat as follows: that it aided tne following a high morak standadd consistently; that it gave inspiration toward good works and sympathy witi others; fullfilling God® purpose; and that it gives to character the un necessary in the living of an all around and, Godly Jife. - | PERSONALS “Miss Mildred Dunn of Main street is Ocean e spending a week at J.

UNGRATEFUL LEPERS TYPIFY MANKIND, SAYS PRIEST Kneeling, five or six deep before the sanctuary railing, Sunday morning at toe 7:30 mass in St Patrick’s church, nearly the entire congregation received holy comimunion from the rector Rev. M. H. May or bhis assistant priest, Rev. Philip J Mooney, after Father May had preached briefly from the gospel for the Sunday, the 13th after Pentecost, Luke XVII, 11:19, the cleansing of the ten lepers. The preacher's theme was in- gratitude. His direct and praetical words were 4 rebuke to those who go about tjeir worldly way, neglecting to taink for His gifts of creation redemption, the blessings of health, the cpportunities of life. Frequently during trouble or mis- fortune, when earthly friends fail men call upon the compagsionate Christ, as did the ten lepers, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"” yet ¢nce the time of dis- tress has passed, how many forget to thank that God Wi has heard their pray- ers. Of hom many must the Redeemer say sorrowfully, after they have been cleanged from the leprosy of sin, yet have neglected to manifest gratitude, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Too few return, to give glory to that God to Whom they owe all that, they pos- sess, without Whom they ‘are nothing.” WERITTEN CONSENT YO DO GARAGE JOB OVER $50 away in the multitulinous pages of ‘the general automebile law enacted at the recent session of the general assembly is a provision knewn as section 63, which as yet seems to be unkpown to most automobile own- ers and garage proprietors, although it applies to tie latter, every time they undertake a repair job amounting to more than $50. The law requires that in any case where an automobile is left with a repairman the written consent of the owner or possessor. must be ob- tained before repairs amounting to more than §50 can be denme on it. The pro- vision follows: never any repair- man or automobile mechanic shall re- ceive any. motor vehicle for the pur- pose of making repairs he shall, before Buried his charge upon the same shall exceed:! the sum of $50 obtain from the owmer or possessor of such vehicle a written authority for any expengiture in ex- cess of said sum. The measure provides that a fine of not nore than $50 may be Imposed ‘for a fist, violation of this law and a fine of not'more than $100 or imprisen- ment for not more than six meonths may be imposed for subsequent offenses. —_———————— PRICE OF LEMONS HAS TAKEN SUDDEN DROP Lemens which took a sudden rise in price a few weeks ago, have taken as suden a drop and are now back some- where near where they were when sum- mer opened. A¢ that time they were selling as low as 15 cents a dozen for good quality fruit. Then came the sud- den jumpin price and they were quoted for a-time al 60 and 75 cents for the same grade of lemons as had sold at 15_cents, In explanation.of the fluctuation it is said that when the price for the fruit g0t s0 low the growers simply wouldn’t bother to handle them, as their receipts got down to about $5 a -truckload. Their action created a shortage in the market with a natural increase in price. This better priee brought tne fruit inte market again in sufficient quantity so the market was stabilizéd and the prize came back to a nearly normal figure. ———— $100,000 A“IAO.,I” WAS PLACED ON GROTON PLANT An attachment for $100,00 waa olaced on the plant of the General Or- dinance Co. at Derby Saturday in be- half of credftors and Deputy Sheriff Shea went from tiere to Groton where the main plant is located, to make at- tachmeént.

This point is of great impertance, because the resolve of our people to resist with full power any attempt at secession by cne part of Ire- Jand carries with it of necessity an equal resolve to resist any effort to coerce an_ other part of Ireland to abandon its al- legianee to the erown. “We gladly give you the assurance that we will concur in any settlement which govthern and nertharn Ireland may make for Irish unity within the six conditions already laid dewn. which apply to southern and nerthern Ireland alike; but we cannet agree to refer the question of your relations with northern Ireland to foreign arbitration. “The conditions of the proposed set- tlement do‘ mot arise from any desire to force our will upon the people of another race, but from facts which are as vital to Ireland's welfare as to our wn.

TLSTER CABINET'S VIEW OF BRITISH GOV'T PROPOSALS Belfast Ireland, Aug. 14 (By the A. P.) —The text of the Ulster cabinet's ob- servations on the British government's propesal for peace in Ireland, signed by Sir James Craig, the Ulster premies, was made public here this evening. e statement says that the aoceptance by the Ulster leaders of the original invita- tion of the British government to meet in econference with it in Londom still holds good and that they will be avail- able at any time their assistance is again desired. The statement reads: “My Dear Prime Minister: your pro- posals for an Irish settlement now have been exhaustively examined by my cab- inet and myself. We fealize the pre- ambleyis especially addressed to Mr. De Valera' and his followers, and observe it implig that difficuities have long ex- isted throughout the empire and in Am_ erfca attributable to persons of Irisy ex- traction. /In fairness to the Ulster people I must point out that they have always aimed at retenticn of their citizenship in the United Kingdom and the empire of which they are proud to form a part, and there are not to be found in any quarter of the world more loyal citizens than these of Ulster destent. They hold/ fast to cherished traditions and deeply resent any infringement of their rights and privileges, whioh belong equally. to them and to other citizens within the empire.” The text then recalls the sacrifices maed in agreeing to self-government and in consenting to the establishment of a par- liament in northern Ireland. , “Against our wish, but in The Interests of peace,” the statement continues, “‘we accepted this as the final settleemnt of the leng outstanding difficulties. with ‘which Great Britain has been confronted. We are busily engaged in ratifying our part of this solemn bargain, whils the Irishmen- outside the northern area; who in the past have struggled for home rule, have chosen to repudiate .the govern- ment of Ireland act and press Great Britain for wider powers. T join in such pressure is repugnant te the people of nerthern Ireland. “In the further interest of peace we therefore respectfully decline to deteri mine, or to interfere with, the terms of settlement between us te safeguard the tie¢ that bind us to Great Britain and the empire, to insure that we are not prejudiced by any terms entered into be- tween them and Mr. De Valera, and to maintain the just equality exhibited throughout the government of Ireland act. “Our acceptance of your original in- vitation to meet in conference in London holds good and if at any time our as- sistance again is desired we are available. But I feel bound to acquaint you that no meeting is possible between Mr. De Valera and myself until he recogmizes that nerthern Ireland will not submit to any other authority than that of his maj- ‘esty the king and the parliament of the Upnited Kingdom, and admits the sanclity of the existiz powers and privileges of the parliament’ and government of north- ern TIreland. “In conclusion let me assure you that peace “is as earnestly desired by my gov- erpment and myself as by you and yeurs and although we have nothing left to give away we are prepared, when you and Mr. De Valera arrive at a satisfactory settlement, to cooperate with southern Ireland on equal terms for the future welfare of our common country. In order to avold any misunderstanding or misrepresentation of our views, I intend to publish this letter when your proposals are made public.” S bR S A T i e W, Lok R PUBLICATION OF GENERAL SMUT'S LETTERE PREMATURE Dublin, Auug. 14.—(By The A.
