 FAIR HAVEN NEWS.
 Services at the Second Congregational
 Church-Funeral of Mrs. Tuttle-
 Easter Services-Denvers an Address
 in Hartford-Run to East Haven
 An Aesthetic Apartment.
 Notwithstanding the fact that four churches, the two Congregational churches, the Baptist and the Methodist, united in their Fast day service yesterday morning but few people were present, an indication of the decay of the old custom of Fast day observance. Many middle aged men re- member when Fast day was observed as strictly as Sabbath.
 After the Rev. MT. James offered prayer, in the absence of the Rev. E. c. Sage, Rev. James H. Mason of the First Baptist church made the address. His subject was: "Men Ought to Pray" Af- ter dwelling on the fact that prayer was an obligation to all mankind, that God had from the earliest times taught his people to pray, he spoke of the nature of prayer. It is something more than medi tation upon God, very exalted and very far away. Prayer is the spring which puts one in the condition to wield the om nipotent forces of God. A true prayer should include adoration, thanksgiving, petition and confession.
 There are many who, seeing the affairs of life under the domination of natural law, disbelieve in the efficacy of prayer in relation to natural things. Is there not 8 supernatural world higher than the natur- al? What assurance for mau who knows SO little about natural law to deny that there is a vast unexplored field, the super natural world. In there any true disciple of Christ here who has ceased to praya His soul is cold and dark and fruitless. This old brown earth has been cold and hard and fruitless, but the balmy air of spring is come and the earth is beginning to bloom forth. Let the bloom of prayer come into your soul and beautify and en- rich your life.
