Motives to Religious Belief and Eait

Motives to Religious Belief and Faith
 Tho Age of Miracles-Man,s SaIva-
 tion.
 The power and influence of the pulpit was well sustained yesterday morning by Dr. Munger in 6 discourse founded on Luke xvi, 31:
 ''If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.''
 A few thoughts are as follows: The state ment of Dives was untrue and unreasonable; that of Abraham was true. The main fea- ture is change of worlds and a change of conditions. Might not the fate of the rich man have been different had stronger mo- tives been offered! Why not warn his breth- ren to avoid such a fate: Men are very prone to think that if some constraining and irresistible motive was only brought for ward, if an angel appeared or someone rose from the dead, then they would believe. Nol If they will not hear Moses and the prophets, neither would they believe if one rose from the dead. God has ordained the best sys- tenn. It cannot be improved. It is the best for mankind us s whole-not always the best for the individual. The nature of fire and water cannot be changed because some are burned and others are drowned. Sin and misery are inseparable. Fear does not necessarily lead to moral action. Fear is selfish: repentance is the giving up of selfshness. Men deceive themselves because the penalty is not always close at hand. system which overpowered the will would make us slaves, not the chil- dren of God. What men desire in this re- spect would made world of chaos and con- fusion. The greatest miracle of the gospel the resurrection of Christ-took place before daylight in order that we might not be forced into belief. Dr. Munger alluded to the mis- guided discussion of miracles now taking place. We should not be blinded by the mere wonder and astonishment of the miracles, but moved by the benevolence, the compassion and sympathy of kind and merciful God. This was the great end and object of the miracles

THE COLD WAVE.

A Sudden DrOp-Hce Crops in Former Years-Last Nights Snow storm.
 The ice dealers have taken renewed cour- age, owing to the change to cold weather which was inaugursted Saturdsy-the first spell of mild winter weather with which this part of the globe has been favored. Our old- est men recall but very few such long-con- tinued and uninterrupted periods of mild weather-weather more like that of the southern States than the northern. But on Saturday the mercury dropped rapidly in the tube, falling from twenty to thirty de- grees in a few hours. People shivered owing to the sudden change and suffered from the cold, though it was at the coldest point we'll up above zero. It was change from balmy spring to wintry cold, and peo- pie realized it accordingly.
 The ice dealers took courage, but they have not been seriously alarmed yet, as they have passed through many January since embarking in the business without having harvested ton of the congealed blocks. Frequently the ice crop Is not harvested un- til February. The New Haven Ice company men recollect these winters, when with diff culty they secured a crop. In 1870, 1876 and 1880 the winters were so mild that ice thick enough to harvest was very scarce. There is time enough yet for ten inch ice and for plenty of use for skates and sleds. The three or four inches of snow that fell last night encourages young America to hope for good coasting soon, as well as good skat- ing. The mild weather tor month past has been an aggravation to seal skin sacque wear CTS, and especially the owners of new seal garments, owing to the discomfort of wear ing them out shopping or to the theater. All this melancholy state of affairs can be easily changed with one aggressive campaign from Jack Frost and accompanying blasts from Boreas. The streets were almost deserted last night by II o'clock, and few forms were seen out after that hour so that the police officers paced their beats or stood in hall ways under shelter from the falling snow and the bleak wind in comparative solitude.

 The class of go has eclipsed all former records in the number of men she has on the Junior appointment list. The fact that she has not many athletes on the list is due to the fact that go is very poor in this line. The largest record made up to this time was made by the class of 'S4, which had 96 men on the list, while go has 104. The number of Philosophioals is not very large being only five, while on the other hand 'S4 had 12 the largest number on record.

 The annual report of St. Mary's parish was read at mass yesterday. It shows that 8 debt of $151 1000 has been reduced to $112, ,99S 55 since the Dominican fathers took the congre- gation in May, 1886. The year has been one of marked success in church affairs. During the year old St. Mary's church on Church street has been eold to Healey & Bigelow for s55, ,000 This, when paid before May l, will reduce the church indebtedness to less than $62, ,S8S.55. It is expected that at the end of the ensuing year the debt will not be over $50, 1000. The Dominican fathers themselves gave $1,S73.29 towards liquidation of the debt. Their efforts in behalf of the church have been very successful and much appreci- ated by the parish. The church's debt few years ago was heavy burden and threatened to be serious matter, but the wonderful vii tality and growth of St. Mary's and good management have accomplished wonders and the church is to be congratulated.

 An Interesting Discourse Yesterday
 Morning.
 At this church yesterday morning the pas- tor, Rev. l. M. Foster, took his text from Romans, xiv, r: "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, ,and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" The principal points brought out by the minister were that we have no right to judge the lives and actions of others by standard of right eousness set up by ourselves, but rather by the standard which Christ in his teachings has declared God will judge all men; that others may have a mode of worshipping which to us may seem not just according to our mind, and yet may receive from the throne of grace the same recognition. The pastor held the close attention of his congre- gation throughout.

A rERR1RLE REFLECTION.

Deeply Bereaved Parents-Three Chil-
 dren Buried YesterdaY-Tvvo others
 XII With DiPhtherfa.
 The attention of Health Officer Williston was called on Saturday morning to several cases of diphtheria in the family of poor
 German named Neuman, who resides at A
 White street. Dr. Williston on arriving there
 at noon found one child dead and four other
 urday evening. The family occupied two
 rooms, which were poorly ventilated. The
 father and mother with their two surviving
 children, which will probably recover, were
 removed, the former to the almshouse, the
 children to the pest house, yesterday morn-
 ing, Neuman being out of work and in desti-
 tute circumstances. They were transported
 to their temporary abiding places in the
 almshouse ambulance.
 The case was first attended by Town Phy-
 sician Fitch last Friday, when he found that two of the children had been sick week. One of them died soon after his visit. "There is nothing remarkable in the case" said Dr. Williston last night to COURIER reporter, sexcept that five children in one family were suffering together from the dis ease. This was no doubt due to their living in poorly ventilated rooms. No alarm need be felt by anyone, as there is diphtheria in the town all the time. The point that should be impressed upon the minds of those who will interest themselves in the matter is the necessity for come place where patients af ficted with diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other contagious disease excepting typhoid fever can be taken to and isolated for proper medical treatment. At present the pest house is the only place in the city which receives this class of patients, our State hospital not admitting them. Here," remarked the doctor, with a suggestive smile, ''is an opportunity for some philan- thropic person or persons to render good service to New Haven by promoting move ment to found an institution of the kind refer to-"
 The pest house is small building back of the almshouse. It does not leak at present and is tolerably we'll warmed and ventilated.

 Mrs. Julia B. Graves of Middletown just as
 she was entering the church to attend the
 morning service with her sister. Mrs. Wh-
 liam B. Gay, and nephew, Mir. George E.
 Gay, assistant manager at the Hyperion Theater.
 Mrs. Graves home is in Middletown, West field society, but for the past seven weeks she has been visiting her sister in this city. She has had heart trouble for many years, but during her stay in New Haven her health I seemed to be exceptionally good. Yesterday morning she arose in the best of spirits and seemed perfectly well while on the way to church. As she entered the church door, however, she turned to her sister, Mrs. Gay, and exclaimed, "Emily, am faint" Mir. George Gay, who was by her side, caught her in his arms as she began to fall, and she expired few minutes after She was imme- diately taken to MT. Gays residence on Orange street.
