Dr. Roberts. “Ascension Day Sermon. The Ascenston of Christ was the sub- ject of the sermon deliveréd by Rev. Dr. Roberts. E The preacher said-in The story of the ascensi give special difficulty to many, and they do not accept it as readily as other stories of events in Christ's life. = Yet it is not one whit more incredible than stories of incarnation and resurrection for example. Any of them incredible if related ‘about any other person than Jesu: but seem natural enoygh about 50 marvelous a person as He, His whole life {s as wonderful as any wonder re- corded of Him. ,(Hs was a living mira- cle and the hardest one to explain on purely natural grounds. His sinlessness alone sets him apart. The story of the ascension is open to no serious objection that capnot with equal force be brought against the resur- rection. If we refuse to accept theas- cension on the ground that it involves the supernatural, we must rule out the other also on the same ground; they stand or fall together. Those who do rule them out do so on exactly that ground, they reject all miraculous ele- ments in' the gospels and reduce Christ to a superior man and nothing more, A prominent school of German critics ex- plain the story of the ascension An Acts 8s Luke's explafiation of the responss of the human spirit to the Spirit of God, and make the promised and fulfill- ed gift of the Spirit of Power a proof of that response. They spiritualize the whole story and make it simply 2, sub- Jjective experience. The chief objection to this interpreta- tion is that it ignores all the facts in the case. There Js no hint in the nar- rative that Luke had any such thing in mind.- He gives no material to uses This is mot a case where a Greek philosopher is teaching deep things under the garb of a story. but simply the plain recital by a plain man of the plain facts as he ‘by Tubbs' Mili-| on seems n’l secums submarines.

Miraculous of yesterday Is commonplace of today. ‘The man who stumbles at the miracu~ lous is fifty years behind his age. This is the age of miracles compared with former time. Radio, bullet-proof glass, flying machines, wireless—would have been ascribed to either divine or dia- bolical agency when our fathers were young. It may be that the man who ac- cepts the miraculous in gospels is up- to-date while the scoffer is a bigoted back number, We are breaking \into_the Tegion where the so-called miraculous mergds into the natural. Itshas been found that some things are not contrary to all law but merely to the lJaws we kmew. Let us be prop- erly humble; wisdom will ‘not die with us, We must not assume because a thing is impossible under the laws we know it must therefore contradict all laws of universe. We have not begun to tap the mysteries of world yet. We| know only the A. B. C. of natural law are but children picking up pebbles on ‘the shore of possible. Because we know no law by which a body may float in alr is no'reason why Christ did not know and take advantage of such a law. We need not be surprised if that law is discovered any day. What I am trylhg to say, is that we are getting nearer to. and not farther from, even the possibility of a human body, in obe- dience to a law yet unknown to us, ri ing from the earth as easily as it now falls towards it. If that took place to- morrow we &hould dismiss it with the remark. “What a wonderful age we ar living in” and go on our way without a quickened pulse. It wouldn't be even a nine days wonder. We are dailv nullifying the "law of gravitation. When I life this book % overcome that law, and do it by means of the hizgher law of mind and will.

The se- eret leaked out that the Waurgan house man intended to steal a march on his friends and had made a spec- jal appointment with Inspector Ster- ling for his examination one evening thie week. Two carloads of his friends 1aid in wait for him as he drove out of the Wauregan alleyway with In- spector Sterling and dogged him to the finish_of his tryout, tegting his nerve with all the din, that they could make on the noise making -instru- was Mrs. Morris Lubchansky., of New London, president of the ladies’ degree team, who wished the new auxiliary a successful installation and urged for a unity of spirit and sisterhood amonzst the members, The newly elected president, Mrs, Ei- kin Smith, then took the chair and ask- ed the cooperation of the new members.

Those present besides the hos- tess were Miss May Garry, Elizabeth Corcoran, the Misses Lulu and Ruth en being a vlace. Tt is easy to have nlace in limitless universe but in a small flat world such as the anclents had heaven and hell might be crowded for room. Whether heaven be a place or & state is cerfainly not settled by mod- ern views of astronomy—if any hint eiven it favors the “placers” rather than the “staters.” This much may be said: Jesus be- lieyed it to be a place as well as a state oul. “T o to prepare a place for you” “Where T am ye may be also.” Our Father—In heaven” will “done on earth as in heaven” All New. Testament writers have the same idea and those who ave there are in a state of blessed- ness. T have mever found one vahd ar- gument acainst heaven being a place— not a ety but having locality. The whole idea 1is taken from speculatipn not_revelation. selentific inquiry. nor modern philoso- phy.

Dr. Cragin was one of the host prom- inent . physicians in New York, having won prestige as an author of medical works as well as because of his skill as an obstetrician and gynecologist. He was graduated from Yale in 1882 and from the College of P. & S. in 1886, He was on the staff of nearly every leading hospital in Manhattan and already had a large practice, when it became known that he was the physician for Mrs, John Jacob Astor (Madeline Force) at the birth of her son, following Mr. Astor's death in the sinking of the Titanic. New York papers commented at the time of Dr. Cragin's death, in October, 1918, upon the fact that the advent of the As- tor heir had given Dr. Cragin such wide Interest in the-public thought as to add so overwhelmingly to his practice and office calls, as well as to other demands upon his time and strength, that event- uvally it had the effect of undermining his ~health, He died from pneumonia when only in his 59th_vear, having en- deavored to keep up his practice even while his health was impaired. His bur- ial took place In Linwood cemetery, Colchester, > Mrs. Cragin was the devoted helpmeet of her distingutshed husband, was of rare charm ~and graciousness, much dought after’ in_charitable and welfare work as carried on 4mong New York Greeneville two, the northern part of the present Central district two and the mid- dle part three. The aldermen will be elected in their own district. /fhe board of aldermen will elect their own president and vice president. They will be a legislative body and will have bractically nothing to do with the op- eration of the departments. They can dismiss any of their members or act up- on a complaint against any officer.
