FAIR HAVEN.

Civil Engineer Hill was busy all day Saturday making surveys for the pro- posed temporary bridge which the Fair Haven and Westville railroad is think ing of building over the Quinnipiao riv- er. The eastern approach would be by the driveway leading to the rear of the Bronson property. This driveway is side of the old sluieeway under Grand avenue. Various schemes have been proposed by different individuals for ac- commodating all concerned, and the unanimous opinion in Fair Haven is that foot passengers, teams and electric cars must all be provided for.

 At the Grand avenue Baptist church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. E. c. Sage, delivered a very practical and interesting sermon. His text was talk en from the fourteenth chapter of Luke, the, twenty-third verse, "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in." MT. Sage said that 1t was Gods plan that the gospel should be ex- tended through human instrumentality. The sending out of the twelve by Christ characterized the whole system of re- ligious work. Christ is working through n po hJviv, hn rnJNl6 jnA God.
 In answer to the question How are we to compel them to come?" MT. Sage suggested four helps-first, Christians must live conscientious, consistent lives if they desire to bring others to see the light. When we have such a life we can give an outspoken welcome to all to come.
 The inconsistency of members has led many to be prejudiced against church es, and it was this fact that led MT. Mills to hold the noon meetings in the opera house. This prejudice must be overcome by the assurance beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are wei come in the church. We must make them feel that we are anxious for their salvation.
 MT. Sage spoke at length on sympa- thy and sacrifice as means of reaching those who are not saved.
