AFTER $50 YEARS.
what Happened In l5lO.ll-Other


winters.
It seems this astonishing winter, which for
continued mildness probably surpassed that
of 1866, ID not entirely without precs-
dent. The Hartford Times says on thu
score: The Rev. DR.. Parker, in his re-
searches into the history of Hartford and the
"First church" and it, first branch, the
Second. or South, has picked up, among
other curious items, the interesting fact that
throughout the winter Of 17iO-11 the Com
neotieut river did not at any time freeze over.
II ran q open and clear ~ It does the pres
emit winter. from October to Nay. What
other features or facts may have been OBJ
served In relation to the weather Of that far
gone winter nobody knows, for In those days
people had NO Thermometers, and only re-
corded such large features or faots.-.if. In
deed, they took the pains to record any, a.
the unusual circumstances Of the river re-.
naming open all winter, or a. emo snow" OF
- green grass al winter" Even such
any time observed, would stand but slim
chance Of getting themselves recorded. One
thing IL known; the summer following the
winter OF 1866 was no summer at all-it
was the memorable "year without sum-
mer"-frost every month; crops failure.
AZ to l710-11, little seems to be known of
the summer Of that latter year, but
the one of 1916. or We should
probably have heard of It. But
It 10 known that there were some terribly
cold winters in the first half of that
Eighteenth century; including the tradition
al " Cold Friday" in some February not far
from ITO, and In 1740 Al the coolest winter
(probably), and certainly about the most
trying one, with its vast drifted SHOWS, and
| its destruction of domestic animals, that had
ever been known In New England since the
landing Of the Mayfower-not excepting
that terrible winter Of 1850. when cannons
were drawn by OK teams across Long Island
sound from the Connectic ut shore to Long
Inland.
So, judging from the past, We may safely
conclude that this second consecutive "open
winter" does not mean the beginning of q
semi-tropical climate for Conn eoticut.

At Trinity m. X. church.

AT TrAn1ey NE X. Churchs
At Trinity N. E. church Sunday evening
Rev. DR.. McChesney preached to a very
large audience on the topic, 1.-THE Woman
That Was Sinner"
Our subject takes us to the house of
Simon, the pharises. As q matter of GUS
tom he had invited Jesus to his house to eat
with him.
That pharisee gave him only q half hearted
welcome. There IL reason for those woes
which Christ pronounced against the phari-
sees. They were entrenched behind Q re-
ligion of heartlees ceremonies.
They stood In the line of grand churchly
procession. Their priests wore gorgeous
vsstments. They made free use of holy
water. They were % full Of caste as the
modern Brahmin.
The outside world were nothing but COM
mon people. When our Savior came they
hid their faces from him. They hated him
the more because he was the friend Of sin-
ners.
To allow their raiment to brush against
sinner on the street involved dehlsment. How
different the example of Jesus. His compass
sion toward sinners contradicted their notions
Of propristy.
While reclining at the table of the pharisee
Jesus was discovered there by that sinful
woman. The pharisee had treated them with
cold dignity. The common custom was to
have the servants wash the feet of invited
guests. The phsrisee left Christ's feet I'M.
refreshed. It was q hslf-hearted welcome.
Half hsartedness always goes on record. That
woman that was q sinner came In and washed
the Savior's feet with her hands and wiped
them with the hairs of her head.
A sinner, but she has conscience left and
Christ II still attractive to her. A sentiment
tai gospel Of gush which treats social vices
~ ornaments 10 dangerous gospel to preach.
That woman is there to do what many of us
have done-to break with her sins. She
feels like lost soul. AL that was pure in
her nature had turned to the ashes Of 'Sodom.
But che has heard Of one teacher who had
opened . door Of hope for such as herself.
She might have stood on the outskirts Of
that multitude which heard him say: II any
man thirst lot him como to mo and drink.
Or she might have heard of that other invi-
tation: Come unto me all ~ that are heavy
laden and will give you rest. And 30 she
come-not with brazen front, but with the
Offering Of . broken heart. She was . sinner.
Let a. not make light OF her sins. She had
reached the decisive hour.
She II broken In spirit. The animals with
horn and hoof had torn their way through
society and had left her underfoot. But she
has . soul left. She has de6lsment, but Jesus
Ia the fountain of cleansing.
Az soon % she gets near enough to Jesus
she bends to kiss his feet. The Greek words
tell IA that she kissed them tsnderly, fondly,
weeping - she did 30. She translated her
prayer into tears. and having wiped his feet
with her trosses che Amounted them with
ointment worth twice its weight In silver.
Nothing was too good for such Savior.
Christ sent her away with his legacy OF
divine peace. II you reach heaven and ever
