MEETS AT Y. M. O. A, An interesled company of mer met for Bible study at the local Young Men's Christian association Wednesday even- ing. The topic of the study was The Christ of Christmas, and after reading the accounts in Matthew and Luke.the topic was freely discussed and among other points the following were brought out: Some of the significant things about his birth are that it was true to prophesy, that he was born of poor parents, that WORKING ON BETTER WILLIMANTIC CONNECTIONS In regard to the matter of better trol- ley and steam connectione at Willimantic in the evening, Public Utilitjes Commis- gloner C.

While the average Y. M. C. A. is not accomplishing all it ought along direct spiritual lines, yet the center of its work and the ideal of ail its ef- forts 1s Jesus Chmist, the Son of God. One reason why the news of Christ's birth was, first made known to humble shepherds may have been because they were doubtless godly men, and also #& was fitting, as the Christ was to be the good shepherd. The angel song ascribed “Glory. to God” and prophesied ‘Peace on Earth” and suggested “Good will to- ward men,” a_great program for a trou- bled world. The Washington conference seems to be working along ihe line of this wonderful program; it was opened with earnest prayer to God for guidance, and the definite purpose is that peace may reign on the earth, and therefore that ‘there may be good will among all peo- ples. The Christ of Christmas not onmly appealed to the common folks but also to the prominent and learned people, Yor thé three wise men gladly traveled far to find the Christ that they might worship him. The. seeking of Christ is the highest ‘demonstration of wisdom. The wise men were evidently students of prophesy, for .when Herod guestioned them they quoted the prophesy concerning Christ’s birth. The fact that Herod requested the wise men to come back and tell him all aboyt the Christ,.and that the wise men {: to do s9, belng warned against so doing, is an indication that man eannot thwart the purposes of Almighty God. Judas at- tempted i, and failed utterly, and went and hanged himself. Tom Paine attempt- ed it, and abeolutgly failed. The kaiser, consciously or unconsciously, tried it, and failed, and today he is a lenely exile. Many a man seems to feel that he can do wrong and escape the resuks of ‘wrongdoing, But the scripture “whatso- ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” is as true today us when it was written, in fact it has always been true. “The mills of God grind slowly but they grind exceeding fine.”' The study proved interesting and heipful. water commissioners will attend the fu. which is scheduled to leave Willimantic neral in s body. at 6.35. They claim that their service runs on regular schedute so spaced as to make positive meeting places with cars going in the apposite direction. 1 can apprectate their feelings, but want to make the best possible arrangements for the accommodation of the traveling pub- lie.

Much of the material gathered is uwed for decorations furmish. ed for social functions in the cxy.

State Forester W. O. m’zfl that he did not believe the time eoine when it was necessary to subseitute asti- ficial Christmas greens for nasural trees in observance of the Tuletide festival, as urged by the extension service of the New York stale~Tege of forestry. The cost of ¢he Christmas trees, the growing of obtaining them, and the sao- rifice of the trees for a “one-day celebra- tion” are cited as among the cansm which, it e thought at the state college, will join forces to mike the Christmas tree a thing of the pas. “The thing to do is t6 raise Christmas trees,” said Forester Fhley. “We can raise all we need on land now wasted and the Christmas tres industry could be made & by-product of the timber indus. try.” He pointed out that only in a few places In Connectiot were Chrimtmas trees raised solely for that purpose. Momt of the trees cut in thls state. he mid, were stolen, and for several days prior te Christrmas it was necessary to keep twe men on guard at a stale experiment sta- tien at Rainbow where many desirable trees have been grown. The Connectiout state forester agrees AMred Gaskfll, state forester of Néw Jersey, who considers the production of Christmas trees = perfectly legitimate in- dustry and one that can be practiced in accordance with the best accepted stan- dards of forestry. —_— COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS FILED ON WEDNESDAY Five ‘voluntary compensation agree- ments were flled Wednesday in the su- perfor court office.
