QUITE sensation was caused at re-
vival meeting in Naugatuck recently,
presided over by the enthusiastic
worker, who PRAYED for the Young men
| of Waterbury last week. II was near
ing the close of an enthusiastic meeting
| and the evangelist, with his hands ex-
tended on high, called upon all who
| loved the Lord to rise. Everybody
''riz," at least it seemed so, but the
| sharp eyes of the dominic detected,
away over in the amen corner, one I'M
moved sinner who kept his seat. "And
| don't you love the Lord my friend"
said the preacher addressing the man.
upon whom all eyes were now turned.
"Love him? Yes; but can love him
| just as much sitting as standing" The
apology was accepted and the meeting
proved to be one of the most successful
of the series. The gentleman who so
shocked the congregation was not a
hard hearted sinner, as one might sup
pose, but respected and respectable
citizen. But he had his own ideas
about religion, and considered it en-
tirely unnecessary to publicly proclaim
himself lover of the Lord.
| THE short term endowment orders
are catching it on all sides, and people
are beginning to see that this style of
gambling does not pay. You may be
| the lucky individual once, but YOU are
sure to get "salted'' in the long run.
l have called attention to these frauds
several times and tie following clipped
from an exchange shows how they are
dying off. Most of the short term en-
dowment orders have petered out. Of
the hfty-tive endowment orders doing
business in Massachusetts on June Both
last, twelve have since come to grief
eight being in the hands of receivers
appointed by the courts, two having
made voluntary assignments and two
others being now in the hands of the
courts for the appointment of receivers.
or the forty-three remaining in bnsi-
ness, thirty are long term orders whose
promises do not mature in less than five
years. These have formed an alliance
against the short term orders to secure
legislation to enable them to prosecute
their plan with greater safety to their
promoters and managers.

''Do you know that there is a great
deal of money spent by working people
for insurance." said local agent to me
the other day, ''why in Waterbury
alone over 81 800 is collected every
week from working people who are in

insurance company has 90 agents here.
They collect weekly sums ranging from

The lesson of the girl, the can of kero-
sene and the fire that failed to burn is
lost, as far as the girls of Waterbury
are concerned. If you take a walk
through any of our side streets between

THIS is rather queer statement if
true: Take the same prescription to half
a dozen reputable drug stores. If it has
