BISHOP WILLIAMS AT TRINITY.
He Admlnlsters COmArmation to Twenty.Seven and Prea ches ROYcl- blo ChRract terlstlc Sermon.

He AAmlnistors ConA rmasio to
 Twsnty.Seven aud Prea ches . ROrcl-
 ble Characteristic Sermon.
 A large congregation listened to forcibls and characteristic sermon by Bishop Williams at Trinity P. E. church yesterday morning. He administered confirmation to a class of twenty-seven persons and his confirmation remarks were incorporated in his sermon. The bishop selected his text from first Corinthians, iv, 9: "It is required of stew ards that men be found faithful"
 The spirit of this text, Bishop Williams stated, is not very strictly observed in the present age of the novel and the spectacular. It is more apt to receive too little attention. Many men do not perceive the truth of this, and of those who do but few live up to 1t. This condition of knowing wherein wrong in our natures Is and not correcting it is one of the worse conditions men can fall into.
 The great principle of the text is that mans life Is not absolutely his own. It is Q trust to be faithfully administered. The cause of many suicides Is undoubtedly, In many cases, that man considers his life ab- solutely his own and therefore that he can examples of both ideas of man. The fiIst regarded life as his own. The second con- sidsred himself mainly as steward. Saul was the chosen man of Israel, taller by . head than most of his tribe. He was man of intellect and position. He had every prospect of bsoom- his little day ended in blood. Samuel was of humble origin and his whole life was an in- stance of one who faithfully administered the trust given him by God. Another in. stance of this was St. Stephen. He died few years after taking the dsacon's orders. Hs suffered an ignominious death and many would consider that his life had been wasted. Not 70. The church has seen At to honor himsslf. To those who hsve been thus con. drmed the text is especially applicable. Their lives belong primarily to God and they must render to him . final and com- plete account Of their stewardship.

MansAeld,s Lumber Yard on Grand
 Avenue the Scene Of . Five Thousand
 Dollar BIaze-Insurance Covers the
 Loss-The Fire of Incendiery origin.
 An alarm of fire was rung last night from box 48 at the precinct on Grand avenue about half-past 9 o'clock, followed quickly by second alarm. Several steamers re. sponded promptly to the call and soon a number of streams were playing on the burn- ing building, which proved to be large twostory wooden structure owned by Aus tin Mansfield, the lumber dealer of 533 Grand avenue.
 The building was used as storage place for shingles and proved to be excellent mates rial for the flames, which were famed by 6 stiff northerly wind. The fremen worked hard to cave it, but the fire soon got beyond control and the best the men could do was to prevent the adjoining buildings from catching fire. The fire made large blaze and 1t was @ beautiful sight. The smoke and blaze could be seen for long distance and soon hundreds of people were on the spot.
 Officer Kelley was about the first one who saw the fire. He was coming over the Grand avenue bridge on his way to report and saw the blaze. Running to the precinct he yelled to Driver Toronto, who had a moment before heard somebody else yelling fire and had gone out to see what 1t was and to pull tho box.
 The loss will amount to between 5000 and $5,000, which is nearly if not all covered by insurance. The building contained about 900, 900 shingles which were entirely con- stunned by the flames. The building was comparatively new, being only four or five years old. Mr. Mansfield, when asked by COURIER reporter what he thought of the origin of the fire, replied: "There can be no question but what 1t was of incepdiary ori- gin, as everything points in that direction. There was no fire in the building or any where near 1t, and 1t was undoubtedly the work of some fire buzz"
 This was the first fire in thirty-four years on Nr. Mansfeld's premises, and 1t is good record for @ lumber yard. The firm had an old shed burned up thirty-four years ago, and the old residents will undoubtedly re- member 1t as 1t was a terribly cold night, the thermometer being twenty degrees below zero.
 To-day the firm intended to commence an inventory on the building and stock that were burned, but the fire last night saved them the trouble. They will now have to be content to figure the insurance instead of the inventory. -~---

 At the tail end again.

 Hill and Cotter did the best playing Satur. day night in Hartford. his twenty years' sleep. "Kangaroos" hustle for o victory.
 Johnnie Connors has had more than his share of tough games to referee lately.
 Other games to morrow night, Hartford at Springfield and New Britain at Meriden.
 Again the good all.round work of Frazier was called into play. He tended goal in New Britain Saturday night.
 Springfield has more luck than any team in the league. Three games out of five are won by nothing but luck.
 The game between the New Haven and Bridgeport newspaper men is off for the present. Cause, unknown.
 Pierce has taken brace and is playing just as hard game out of town as he does at the home games in Bridgeport.
 Once more New Britain is after Meriden. Somebody make guess how these two clubs will stand at the end of the season.
 The attendance in the three rinks Saturday night was lighter than any time this season. Bad weather had moro effect though than bad polo.
 Whenever Meriden and New Haven meet there is certain to be sport, for the friction between these two teams is sure to develop bad blood.
 Tho championship is now practically settled and the race from now on will probably be between New Haven, New Britain and Meri- den for last place.
 The Springfield Union says that 1t is luck that makes the champions win. We'll that Is pretty good too, but then a poor excuse is better than none. good one as far as victories are concerned. Try and see if you cannot end this week ahead of New Britain. Twenty-one hundred people paid to see the Bridgeport. Springfield game last Fri. day night, which surpasses all former records in the Springfield rink. The New Britain team will hardly be 6 success next year unless the team is owned | by New Britain people. But then nobody could make the present gang of "Woodchop- pers'' play better polo than Frank Stumeke has, for the necessary article is not within l their reach.
 New Haven plays in Bridgeport tomorrow night, and although defeat for the loca team is expected, 1t would be feather ir your caps to down the champions in theil own rink. You have done it before boy and try hard to morrow night and see it yor cannot do it again. l Ha!

We'll, we'll, and vii Springfield win the championships Well hardly.
 Canavan is considered by many to be better half-back than Conway. He is ii some respect, that is in getting up the rinl faster and in driving the ball, but for hart fast game, where 1t is case of hustle al through the game, and where there is plent, of corner work, the "Kid" will be found t. be the better man every time.

 on the farm but came to this city last August He obtained pair of colts from MT. Gillette on pretence that his brother-in- law, Nichols. would sell them at an advan- tage. He did not do this and when found by the owner of the colts and questioned, both denied any knowledge of the whereabouts of the animals. A search re vealed their presence on the premises of Mir. Johnson of Norton

Rev. Joseph Twitchell of Hartford
 In she College Pulpit Yesterday.
 As result of President Dwights exchange yesterday the college world had the pleasure of again listening to Rev. Joseph Twitchell of Hartford. He preached a strong and vigorous sermon from the text: "In that hour Jesus reioioed in spirit and said, I thank thee, o Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes" Luke 10, 21.
 The main thouhgt expressed was that the gospel is for all mankind and is known only by the faith as of little children. A sub what our Lord meant by these words one cannot exactly tell, but undoubtedly they were the truths be was teaching. He was noting these at the threshold of the day what St. Paul observed later. The gospel, with its revelation of faith, has ever been under that law, that its progress has been rather like that of the faith of little child than that of the learned. The mere possession of a cultured mind does not necessarily imply the the words of Christ or yet again the lack of 1t. The vain sense of superiority, immoder- ate in Its growth, causes that supposed wide interval between the one believing himself immsasurably above another in intellect. It l is not the difference in mental stature that comes under our consideration, but the ate titude that is held by them that are wise in their understanding. It is to men as men that the Gospel speaks. Because of that un- happy result of liberal education that creates the belief that man belongs to the liberal minded elite, as class apart from the common run of humanity. The truly great man is he who considers himself only as a man. The great questions that these words of the text bring to the world are questions of duty and are forever comprshensible to almost all men. It is of great significance 10 the church and even to it's pastors that the gospel is for the multitude. It Is @ futile | effort to make 1t one for the wise in under standing only. Let the church be careful to keep to it's duty of administering its mission of support and aid to all mankind. Christ is but the incident, the other side of that child-like simplicity. Do forsake that which | Is wrong and evil and choose that which we all know to be right and good.
