divine.
Sometime we hear it said of some per-
son, s'He is not rich, but he is one of
natures gentlemen the salt of the
EARTH" What compliment! What a
testimony to character! With such
credentials man can go anywhere; into
the very Holy of Holes IT the Universe,
unto the very presence. and into the
heart of God.
There are some like Gaius more pros
porous in soul than body or riches.
They seem to work hard, but have only
enough to carry them through, enough
to pay Nature her fare. They may be
unable to buy home of their own; liv-
ing in a rented house, sojourning in the
land all their days. But you can not
imagine what riches those people have,
unless you happen to be of their number.
They live in their Fathers house. The
mountains are its pillars; the vaulted
sky its dome. Death is only veil to the
room where they intend to spend most
of their time, the temperature is more
even there. They are not poor! You
see they are going tc stay at their Faith
er's home, the old home Of man. What
else is needed in such home but health
and life. And these they have. Eternal
life is theirs. This is prosperity Of soul.

Richeson and Jonathan Scott.
After 1870 the population increased
rapidly, and in 1892, 1.-THE people, says

After several appeals of this descrip.
ton to the Legislature their demands
were acceded to, and 1913 saw their so
ciety incorporated by the name Of Vert
bury. Soon after it was made distinct
society and its boundary lines were de-
fined. 1.-The Rev John Trumbull, athlete,
divine and poet, took up his duties as the
first clergyman, in 1888.
History is silent concerning the town
OF Wertbury up to the Revolutionary
War, and all that can be said about that
epoch is that there are in the old records
OF the town certain statements relative
to the equipment and provisioning Of
troops for the Continental army.
The town was more or less connected
with the war of 1912 from the fact that
the interests of several merchants, who
did great deal of importing, were at
stake.
In 1910 TIE town may be said to have
outstripped its mother city, Waterbury.
1t is a peculiar fact that at that time
Waterbury people did all their shop
ping in WateTtown. In 1915, however.
when the wave of manufacturing In.
dustries swept over Connecticut, most
Of the moneyed inhabitants of Water
town removed their lntesests to Water
bury, which was then showing consfi-
cradle promise as manufacturing CEN
ter.
In the late war it was well represent
ted in the army of the north, and names
well known In the town are enrolled
upon the honor list for bravery.
1t may be well to say few words
upon the ecclesiastical history of the
town. The first church was the Con-
gregationai, founded in 1863; the next
Chris. Church, In H64, and then the
Methodist, in 1853.

and justified into every child. 1t is fal

and instilled into every child. 1t is far
better to see young man starting in
| life with noble heart and worthy pur-
pose, than with large estate. These
people love their children dearly but
they do not do their best for them. The
other day heard man praising his
children; he told me how much he
thought of them; but that man gives
them but the least education, and no
spiritual education; as soon as they are
grown strong enough to work they have
to 60, for he spends his money on what
is not bread. Yet in sense that man
loves his children. But l can see him
condemned by another who goes further
in his expressions Of love, by helping
his children materially. But not spirit
ually there is no justice done unless there
is spiritual training given. The young
should be made to feel that they have
souls; and that those souls are Of more
value than anything else.
This is glorious way of looking at
worldly success, this way of John max
ing it, to follow the spiritual. IT the
time will ever come when spirituality
will be the chief aim of man, and spirit
ual success made the standard of all
other kinds OF success, then this will be
q spiritual world, and much more pleas
ant to the bulk Of mankind. That must
follow. For when we follow Gods ar
engagements and order we go through
the world great deal easier than when
we violate these. We have to pay for
violating the order Of things. And he
that puts body above soul must pay for
It. It is not so, and he can not make it
SO. Things will 60 wrong some time.
THE FIRST IN ORDER
is spirituality; and when we observe
this order, and follow 1t, we can enjoy
life fully. Said one that understood the
order perfectly "Seek ye first the king
dom Of God and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto
you." It is the divine order! Be filed

sent our every week to feed souls. 1t is
like feeding upon death! The most sick
ly food for human soul that can be i'm
agined. When in form Of religion some
take it splendidly, while others think they
can flourish by keeping away from it or
by denying its nutritive nature. There
are others that seem to flourish on ex-
citement, on foam. That is about the
poorest stuff in the world for strength
and growth. There are souls like the
pariahs of the city picking their susten-
ance from cutters and dumping grounds.
1t is a pitiable state for a soul to be in.

the soul. Give 1t wholesome food reg

have been showing that we can go
easier, generally, from the natural to the
spiritual, than from the spiritual to the
natural as John does in the text, and that
the common with would be to prosper
spiritually as they do in worldly matters.
II people would follow Johns example
and want their friends to prosper In
health and riches as they do in soul, we
would have a very poor and sick world
on our hands if these two wishes were
fulfilled. John did not wish his friends
to prosper better in world things than in
spiritual. He wanted them to be about
the same to balance one another; having
enough of this worlds goods to supply
his generous nature, SO that the temporal
would serve the spiritual.
He has In mind two kinds of prosperity,
and two kinds of health, prosperity and
health of soul are worldly prosperity and
health of body. These four are very i'm
portant. The last two you all acknow-
ledge are important. would Ike to
persuade every one that the prosperity
of soul, and health of soul are more i'm
portant. So much more important as
soul is more than body, and eternity of
greater consequence than time.

CLOTHES ARE TO THE BODY

|. what the body is to the soul. 1 know
that some would have it that clothes are
more important than the body; but every
sensible person knows that the most i'm
portant Of the two is the body. A strong
healthy, beautiful frame, is more imper-
tant than the garment around that frame.
The body Is only the garment of the soul,
and the first thought should be of the
soul and not of its garment. If that soul
is healthy and beautiful it will look well
in any kind of garb. But no kind of
garment can make an ugly soul beauti-
full. 1t Is an impossibility. If the soul
is sick no garment can heal it. 1t may
help, but that is all. When we see peo-
pie sick, may be not having much pain,
but wasting away gradually. we feel
deeply for them. If they are very in
innate friends or near relatives 1t Is al
most more than we, can bear. This way
we feel when there Ii sickness In the NOR
tai body. How do we feel when
an immortal soul is sick, may be not in
much pain, but wasting away gradually,
but with terrible certainty? How do we
feel2 Are we full Of anxiety Does
the disease pierce our soul when we see
it? Do we give them our best advice,
and tell them of the famous Physician?
Do we advise change Of air and try to
lead them to Mt Sion? Do we tell them
that thousands have been healed from
that very disease by waters drawn from
the wells Of salvation? How do we feel
when we see our fellow creatures thus
when we see our friends? when we see
those dearer and nearer than friends
Is the feeling deeper and the anxiety
more racking than when we see the
physical decay? We have to confess
that It Is not, and to our shame we con-
fess It. We think moro Of this mortal
coil, this lump Of earth that will soon
mix with its own element, than we do
Of the heavenly spark, the immortal soul
will not pass away, but which we can
keep with US forever II it can be brought
TO God. Friends, we are Inconsistent,
we are wrong. By all means let us feel
TOR those In suffering Of body, but let our
soul 60 but more to those who are in |
danger Of losing their souls. For the
simple reason, that the soul is greater
then the body.

The Word She Know.

The other day as a joke-loving young
woman was being escorted through the
Barge Office by Col. Weber she insisted
on conversing with every one OF the I'M
migrants of whatever nationality. This
was somewhat of a tax on the gallant
Colonels linguistic powers. At last they
came to great hulking girl, to whom
the lady wished to talk.
"But this is Russian girl" said Col.
Weber 81 can't talk to her.
ooh. I know one Russian word," said
the voung woman. "Just say 'Dushenka'
to her"
So the obiging Colonel leaned over
and said "DuShenka.
The girl flushed scarlet, put one finger
in her mouth and laughed-a foolish,
sheepsh laugh.
aWhat does that word mean?" asked
the Colonel suspiciously.
