 SHELTON.

| This prosperous company whose | factory is located on the canal bank al | Shelton, manufacture full line of silver plate forged steel table cutlery, their goods ranking with the best of the kind made in the world. The concern was organized in 1883, and first commenced business in Bridgeport at that time Two years later they erected their pres ent factory, since enlarged, and removed to their present location, where every advantage is at hand for the speedy and economical manufacture of their cele. l brated goods. The finished product oi this factory is made from steel in the bar, the company making their own dies and doing all parts of the work from 1 start to finish.

 There is the evidence of longing. MANIPULATION IS NOT 4 POPULAR DOC
 TRINE AMONG MEN.
 In every human breast there is i'm. planted the instinct, the craving for life beyond the grave. You do not tell me thav there is the instinct in birds that brings them unerringly from their place of sojourn in the south back again to the north at the coming of every spring, so uner- ringly that no bird has ever made a mis- take in the time of it's coming, and yet there is the instinct in me that longs that this life may not end all, and that the instinct in me is likely to be de- ceiYed? God does not thus make a distinction between human beings and birds in favor of the birds. We say;
 "Some other world is glad to see
 One star that's gone away;
 The light whose going makes our night
 Makes somewhere else a day"
 We long for that day. We yearn for the passing of the night.
 The resurrection of Jesus Christ has stupendeus proof as fact beca1se it is 8 mighty fact. It is fact that answers the most earnest question that any one can ask. In childhood we are satisfied with toys; our questions then are mainly about the things born of our childish fancy. In youth we task questions about the things we see, in old age we ask questions about the things we do not see. As man comes towards life's last end, he asks with terrible carr estness the question: ''If a man die, shall he live again?" Before Christ came, men believed in immortal life, but that belief was little better than a desire, hope, dream. Christ's res- urrection made the belief an absolute certainty; if man die in Christ he shall live again.
 But the joy of the Easter time is only for those who have accepted Mere endless existence is nothing to make the heart glad it rather may be something to deplore-the elephant and the eagle may live 200 years. The knowledge of what we are in Christ and what we shall be in Christ enlarges the horizon of life. The bumbIest lot is transfiguree in the light of the resur- rection; we gre working here with our faces toward the sunrise. Life an un- finished monument whose capstone shall n'er be found, shattered harp whose strings the musicians fingers shall never again sweep, wrecked ship that shall never sail into another port-these were the symbols marking their despair and grief which the ancients placed at the graves of their dead. Not so with the Christian; his thought is expressed in the words whice Dean Afford wrote and which afterwards were inscribed on his tomb, 1.-The inn of traveller on his way to the new Jerusalem We conquer in the name of Him with whom death is life and defeat Is victory.

FORMED AN UNBREAKABLE CHAIN

of testimony for the truth of this Bible
 which we love. If the resur- rection goes, Jesus goes and the Scriptures go and the witnesss of the Apostles goes. If the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not true as & fact, then we can believe in nothing that the Apostles said; all their words go for naught. The Apostles claimed to be eye witnesses of this fact and testified to it's truth. They made this the foundation the church upon it. They made this fact the foremost thing in their preach ing; it was the theme of all their ser mons. They proclaimed this fact right in Jerusalem, where Jesus' crucifxion took place, where Jesus' resurrection occurred, where there was every oppor- tunity to disprove the fact if it could be disproved, and on that ground they chal- lenged their enemies to disprove it. For the preaching of this fact they were thrown into prison, they were dragged before councils, they were insnlted, they were stoned, they were killed.
 If the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not true, then there are some very diff cult things to explain. How was it when Peter, on the day of Pentecost, accused the Jews to their face of being the murderers of Christ. and then said that he and the other Apostles were wit nesses of Christ's resurrection, how was It that Chrlst's enemies did not bring His dead body forth and show it to the peo- pie. if the resurrection was not true? What splendid chance 1t was to dis prove the fact, for these Jews out of every nation under heaven would have carried the news everywhere that lie had been undeniably fastened on the Apostles! The enemies of Christ dld not bring His dead body forth because they could not; the truth of Christ's reg .urrection is testified to as well by His enemies as His friends. Then another thing to be explained is, why did the Apostles suffer for preaching the resur- reetion, if they were preaching lie? They had nothing to gain by preaching as they did. It meant the losa to them of all those things that men count dear

His death coupled with His resurrec- Sea of Galilee, going through the lonely Perea, Christ reached Jericho, and here again He declares that, after being cru cified, He will rise, and He makes last announcement almost at Jerusalem's gate. Indeed, Jesus seemed so many times to say as plainly as words could say that He would rise from the dead that it is passing strange to us why the thought of His resurrection was in the mind of no one of His disciples. Jesus fOretold His resurrection, and the great fact to whose truth we give joyful wit ness to-day, eloquentlY proclaims that He is the matchless Prophet whose word can never fail.
 If the resurrection goes, Jesus goes :; if the resurrection goes, the Scriptures go. Paul the Apostle recognized that the truth of the Scriptures was inextri- cably joined with the truth of Christ's resurrection. In the 18th chapter of his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul tells us what his ''gospel" is: "For de- livered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" That is, when on Easter day Christ came forth from the shadow of the tomb, this being the third day since His dead body had been laid away in its. chill, He only did exactly what the Scriptures had said that He would do: in doing that, He followed out the program long ago mapped out. Hundreds of years before Christ came to earth, the Hebrew Scriptures had had much to say l about Him. They had told the manner ] in which He was to be born. They had told what kind of work He was to do. They had narrated by what sort of death
 He was to die. and they had made it ex- pliclt that He would also rise. Christ's l resurrection was, then. 8 corroboration of Scripture. In that event His birth l fastened link to His life, and His life fastened link to His death, and His death, joining itself to His resurrection,

bLlo AOAN
 This Is the word of the angels to
 the women at the open door of
 Christ's sepulchre on the dawn of
 the first Easter day. These women
 were impelled by the motive of
 pure love. There is law that belongs
 alike to love and to sin: true
 love does not sit still, sin gives itself no
 rest short of reaching the farthest limit
 it can go. Love is not content with what it has already achieved; it must work on
 and on Sin is not satisfied until it has
 worked out it's own ruin. Love must
 attain its highest delight and fast
 en itself on the supreme object of it's de-
 sire.
 Do you see how it was with sin in the
 life of Christi It was fearful sin, the
 cruclfixion of Christ. It was a sin the
 most Satanic, hellish and foul that has been inscribed on the calendar of infamy. . There has been no greater sin than that ;
 there can be no greater. Satan Outreach- ed himself in that, and wickedness was drained to It's lowest dregs. See how sin \ worked on and on. Christ came to the q world, and, a short time after entrance upon His public ministry, announced at { Nazareth, His boyhood home, the things < that He had come to do. He had come sto preach the gospel to the poor, to heal &the broken-hearted, to preach deliver \ sance to the captines and recovery of sight Sto the blind, to set at liberty them that 8are bruised, to preach the acceptable Myear of the Lord. The whole program 1of His life was one of mercy and good Sdeeds; how was this program received AChrist mingled with every class of per asons. He pitledithe suffering, He cared afor the weak, He brought joy to the atroubled ;for this He was called ''a wine &bibber, the friend of publicans and har- 4lots.' "He spake as never man spake" ; 4for this His word swere treated with vi and scorn. His works were
 manifold; it was said that only through sBeelzebub, the prince of devils, He did lthem. He came to His own people; by
 them He was rejected and cast aside ''as Ia root out of dry ground" By one SdiscIple He was betrayed, by another de- 8nIcd; by all the disciples, at the crisis
 point In His life, He was forsaken. At flength He was arrested, falsely charged ' and eondemed; He was crowned with vpthorns and ssp.t upon, and then crucified between two thieves in the presence of a Shocking, cursing crowdl Through all stime and through all eternity this cruci-
 fixlon of Christ will stand written as the dblackest deed that memory knows, and that culmination was reached by sin simply going on and on. It is so in the lhistory of every human soul. Sin will {. work the ruin of that soul, dragging it to Flower and still lower depths, accustom- ling it by slow and sure degrees to call feyil good and good evil; sin will do this

HARD WORK TELLS
In the second set it was evident to the
Vlsltors that something must be done. They
accordingly went for it like a bull after
red blanket. The first game was walk
away for the visitors, score Al. The sec
ona followed suit. but in the third the score
was reversed, The next went to the Chi
cagoans at the came old figures and the
NTH also after the score in points was
brought to 81. From this point onward the
honors were about equally divided, the local
| team working in an occasional game until
lve-all was announced from the umpire S
chair The set finally went to the strangers
with score of 81. Some of the returns
made by Roche and Condee during this set
were perhaps the most brilliant of the CON
test. This wac especially so in line placing
and in drives for the base line
In the third set the local men took spurt
which evidently tired their opponents. The
returns OF the younger men went up in the
air, fell short and went against the back nets
with eXasperating frequency. Often the ball
would be in play for eight or nine strokes,
but almost invariably ceased motion in the
Chicago court. The score was 6-1 for Omaha
The fourth and decisive set found both
teams much refrenhed after a rest of ecv-
eral minutes. 1t looked for time though
the Chicago men would bring the sets to two
all, but this impression was short-lved. The
first game went to Condee and Roche but
tickle fortune deserted and the next was
captured ny lnt lOcdlS Win a ICOTe OF

Of the Chicago team, but this was
