Tine Joy of Sacrifice.

The sermon of Dr. Geodsell yesterday morning was one calculated to arouse earn est thoughts regarding the higher Christian lif9. and was regarding the duty and pleasure of making devoted sacrifice upon Gods altar. The text was the 27th verse of the 18th Psalm, God is the Lord which hath showed us light; bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar" The pastor said this Psalm was designed to be sung in the temple worship at some great festival in the olden times, and its teaching for us is to derive some thoroughly Christian lesson which will help us in our Christian life when the priests of that age of the world gave their blessing upon the people they prayed that Gods face might shine upon them in their labors. It may be that the clouds which veil the sun from our vision will often prove to US blessing. We read that they of the ancient period not only brought their offerings, but they filled the courts and the altars by their presence. Their offerings were hung upon the horns of the altar. They understood and anticipated in 8 measure the Christian worship which we enjoy to-day. We should rejoice in the thought that God is willing to receive the offerings that we bring. We may learn 0 lesson of the joy of sacrifice. The glory of the masters sacrifice was in the joy that was set before him. He was not only man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, but he also saw the sweet things Of life. He saw the beau ty of child life and impressed upon his followers at all times the loveliness of the little ones. It was his mission to fors- cast the coming light. He was not only the author of faith, but he was the fnisher of faith as well It was his to give to the dark ened life. the holy vision. He gave help to the soul that struggled. Surely he has the right to ask us to take up our cross and fol- low him. True worship is the effort of the soul to be God-like it is this that gives value to sacrifices. Loving service is fuH Of re- ward and joy. In the evening Dr. Goodsen preached an eminently practical sermon from the 18th verse of the 9th chapter of the 1st Corinthians, 1.-The Lord for the body and the body for the Lord"

Some one has said, that it is great happi- ness poetry was invented, it enables us to say so many things we either could not or should not otherwise say. Turning over the leaves of our memory we find thought appropriate to the season.

 Yesterday afternoon Dr. Dennen preached from Samuel 1, 3-24: ''They shall part alike" After describing the back ground of the picture, or what led to this just and rnaenanimous decision of David, the preacher drew some very important and valuable lessons, enforcing them with all the vigor that earnestness, natural ability and cultivation can give. Not alone those who do the actual fighting shall reap the reward, but those also who twatch and wait" This thought was unfolded in a very delicate and impressive manner, complimentary to the weaker sex. Three-fourths of the church membership are women. The brightest and most sparkling crowns in heaven will be given to woman. Christ pronounced two blessings woman. The preacher alluded to the great influence of wealth when properly used, giving the names of many who had blessed and benefit ted the world. The great truth, however, WAS that we are not to wish we were some body elset but to make the most of the phys ical and mental powers God has given us

BfEnmY,


 Dr. E. Art Ward has been for several months practising medicine in Waterbury. He became acquainted with Miss Bassett, of Danbury, whem he married and has lived with her since. Saturday Rev. Mir. Peame, 8 Methodist doctor of divinity of Canton, N. Y, went to Waterbury to call on Ward, his son-in-law. It seems that several years ago Ward married his daughter and is the father of her three children. He has not lived with her for some time, claiming to be travelling and featuring. He sent her money occasion ally, which caused her to believe him to be faithful. But the father was not so easily satisfied and came on to see about the mat ter. On lea. ming the state of affairs he im- mediately caused the arrest of Ward for big amy. Ward claims to have divorce from the first wife, and offered to furnish the rec ord if time was given him. The case was continued one week, Ward being released on $I, ,O00 ball. His father in law expresses the belief that he will step out and not dare to stand trial. Ward is a man of striking ap pearaRee, with the sort of face to which a certain class of women are susceptible. His medical specialties as advertised were cancers and tape worms.

 0. W.Harkness scorer for Yale.
 A meeting of representative boating men of all departments and classes was held last Saturday evening to consider the advisability of rowing the class races on the harbor in- stead of at Lake SaltonstalL. It was unani- mously decided to make the change. The main considerations in favor of the harbor as opposed to the lake gre the great expense of rowing at the lake, the increased wear and tear on the boats, the accessibility of the harbor both for the crews in practice and the spectators at the race. The course will be two mile straight away from Tomlin- sons bridge to Oyster Point. Tugs will fol- low the boats as at New London. Probably there will be a larger attendance at the races now that they are held so near the college. The date of the races has not yet been deci- ded upon

Theatre Going.


 sundaay Morning Discourse at Dwight
 Place Church-The Stage-WhOIesaie
 DenumctntIOn of 1t Deprecated-Its
 Value and its Needs.
 At the Dwight Place church Rev. Thomas B. Bacon preached yesterday morning from Ezekiel 44:23, 'And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and shall cause them to discern be- tween the clean and the unclean." MT. Bacon is giving very able series of Sunday morning discourses on ''Theatre going," de- ivering yesterday morning the second of the series The discourses are replete with fine scholarship directed by zeal to point out the true meaning of the drama, and to check, if possible, the indiscriminate theatre going that hastaken hold of fthepresent generation to such painful degree. MT. Bacon said he did not believe in such wholesale condemnation clergy. It is becoming great social and moral question what shall be done with this species of amusement. and it is not question to be lightly disposed of Man will have amusement. It is part of his very na ture to seek for healthful recreation, and it is the perversion of the desire for this par ticular kind of amusement that at the pres ent time demands serious attention. The stage does not call for wholesale condemna- tion. It has many and great opportunities for doing good. What it needs is wholesale publication from the lower forms of amuse- msnt that have by turns disgraced the stage ever since it's rise. The stage could be made and should bs made means of elevating as well as amusing men. Some men go to the theatre without stopping to think whether it is right or wrong, others go knowing it to be wrong, and still others go not caring whether it is right or wrong. The clergy are trying to lead men in one direc- tion, and even their own church members are continually going in the opposite direction. This condition of things when fully realized is simply awful. Something must be done to make men realize what they are doing.
 Mir. Bacon is making the discourses thus far largely historical, showing the bitter strife between the church and the stage ever since their almost simultaneous coming into power in England. The marked ability with which the subject is being treated, the per feet absence of cant and bigotry which so often characterize pulpit utterances on this question, and the Christian zeal and earnest ness of the speaker should make these dis courses listened to by large congregation.
