Superintendent Kendall Says That II
Was Voluntary on Her Part.
The resignation of Miss Stella Skinner
special supervisor of drawing in the city
schools, has been handed to Superin-
tendent Kendall The resignation is to
take effect on June 80. James T. Moran,
a member of the board of education and
chairman Of the committee on schools,
stated last night that so far as he knew,
Miss SINNERS resignation was wholly
voluntary on her part and he said that
he did not know until Friday night last
that she had any intention of resigning.
He stated that on that evening Super
intendent Kendall informed him of Miss
SINNERS resignation and that he adj
vised the superintendent to at once make
| the fact public, as he thought that 1t
would be unfair to Miss Skinner to keep
quiet the fact of her resignation until
the resignation was read at the next
board meeting, when the appointments
of teachers will be made for the ensu-
ing year. Asked If the board would
make an appointment to fill the vacancy
which will be caused next year by Miss
SINNERS resignation, Mr.. Moran said
that it would depend on what the super
intendent did with the pay roll. He
said that the board had full power to
appoint a supervisor of drawing If it
saw fit to do So He said that the SUI
perintendent and the committee on
schools had delicate job to make the
money appropriated to their department
hold out this year
Superintendent Kendall was asked last
night If Miss Skinners resignation was
voluntary and said in reply that it was
voluntary. When asked If any lntma-
ton had been made to Miss Skinner to
the effect that her resignation would be
acceptable to the board, Mr.. Kendall
said that SO far as he knew her reslg-
nation was voluntary on her part. He
said that he did not care to talk about
the matter. He would not say whether
or not an appointment would be made
to fiji her place.
The board wiil'meet on the evening of
Friday, May 26, to appoint teachers for
the ensuing year.

AT THE UNITED CHURCH.

Morning Sermon Preached by the Rev.
| Albert w. Hitchcock.
| The pulpit of the United church yes
terday morning was filled by the Rev.
Albert w. Hitchcock of Newburyport,
Mass The large auditorium was filled
| to its capacity and the sermon was one
| Of especial worth. The text was John,
| twentieth chapter and twenty eighth
verse, which reads: And Thomas an
swered and said unto Him. My Lord
and my God - The speaker said in
| part;
| THE first disciple to- grasp the sub
I lime truth that Jesus liz the Lord and
| God was the one usually styled the
doubling Thomas Peter had professed
that he believed in Him to be the Christ,
| Son of the living God, and Nathaniel
at his conversion proclaimed Him from
| a full heart the Son of God, the King
| Of Israel. But neither of those outbursts
| of Thomas when he saw before him the
| Of Thomas when he say before him the
wounded side Of Jesus and the pierced
! palms Of his Master stretched out to His
exploring finger Thomas, the doubter
who would not believe until he saw and
| knew, led the apostolic band in swift
| conclusions and settled doctrine when
his mind had once become convinced.
Then followed a review Of the life and
character of the man whose reputation
for doubt and whose achievement of
faith combine to make him unique
among the followers of Jesus Christ.
He said that st. Thomas is the charac-
teristic disciple for to-day Continuing,
the sneaker said that we need q new
crusade, to preach a more intelligent
faith and a more dligent study of the
Bible. The Bible does no one any good
if he merely COINS the words. He must
think out the truth, digging hard as for
a hidden treasure. Honest thought is
what makes strong Christians. The
pitiful spectacle of lapsed Christians Is
generally due to lack of thought and
study of the truth.
We must think as well as feels The
main duty of the pulpit, therefore, is
to make the people think. If 1t does
not do that it betrays the congregation.
Remember how constantly Jesus appeal
ed to the thought of His hearers; how
often He introduced lesson with the
words What think ye?" Each parable
and sermon was a challenge to thought,
was SOInellineS 700 nlucn IOr lnel1l, SO
that He had to take the lesson all apart
and give it to them bit by bit Paul
constantly made especial appeals to
those he addressed that they would
think their faith through and make it
not borrowed garment, but their own
flesh and blood.
Most of us are dogmatists, some Of us
are mystcs fewer of our number are
critics, who have tested, tasted, and,
with Thomas, have a reason for the
faith that lies within. The strongest
character the noblest Christian life
combines the three. Let us seek to
sanctify the Lord God in our hearts,
and be ready always to give an answer
to every man that asketh us a reason
of the hope that is in us with meekness
and with fear Above all things, let
us know Jesus Christ so that we may
be persuaded of Him. and, looking UP |
to Him, salute Him daily as MY Lord |
and my God"

FLOATING DEBT OFGR4ND AVENUE
BAPTIST cHURoH TO BEPAID.'
More Than Enough to Extingish the
Same Raised ut the Exercises Sester-
day-Former Pastor, Rev. DIR. Evans
Occupied the PuIpit-Other News

Rev. p. S. Evans of Torrington
preached III the Grand avenue Baptist
church yesterday. Mr., Evans was for
merly pastor of the church, having
preceded Rev. DR.. Sage. He left the
pastorate to become state secretary of
the domination, where he did excellent
work, and is now pastor of the Baptist
church in Torrington, having organized
the society. His former parshioners
We're glad of the opportunity of greeting
him again. Several weeks ago COM
mittee was appointed to consider the
matter of calling a pastor and after re-
porting to the church, the latter decided
that it was eXpedient to provide for
the payment of the floating debt first of
all. Like many other churches the
Grand avenue church has fallen behind
in its finances of late and it was esti-
mated, providing for all contingencies.
this f1oa ting debt on July | would
amount to $500. Mr.. Evans was Invited
by the committee to come to Fair Haven
and present the matter of the debt to
the congregation and urge that it be
provided for This he did at the ser
vice yesterday morning, after preaching
from the text, "God Loveth a Cheerful
Giver." After the excellent discourse,
Mr.. Evans announced the object and
asked for subscriptions. Upon the pull
pit platform was a blackboard and as
the pledges from members of the con-
gregation were announced Deacon N. A.
Beebe and Charles Cults of the com
mittee marked down the amounts. The
total Of pledges and cash amounted to
1850 and further amount was secured
at the evening service. The sum Of 800
was subscribed by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety. The people of the congregation
were very much encouraged upon the
success Of providing for this trouble
some floating debt. The society still owes
several thousand dollars for the improve
ment of the property a few years ago
when the lot was enlarged and a hand
some chapel built: but Mr.. Evans stated
that the future outlook of the society,
owning such fine property and so ia
vorably situated for growth of the
church, was very encouraging.

Last Evening

Interesting Address by Miss M. e. Lord
Last Evening.
Miss M. e. Lord, field worker of the
State Sunday School association, adj
dressed the congregation of Epworth M.
e, church last evening. Her address
was a most interesting one and it was
listened to with rapt attention by those
present. She came at the invitation of
the Epworth league through it's secre-
tary, Mr.. Wellman. Her present field
of work is at Mt. Carmel, where she is
| accomplishing much good.
For her address last evening she chose
as her text the words "Ye are the light
of the world" and she spoke Of The
many Christians who have tn. light but
do not let it shine brightly. IF We"
she said, "allow ourselves to become
smoky and dim, as the lamp chimney,
we are not doing the work our duty as
Christians demands. Some fathers conn
plain because they are not able to lead
their children to God. Why don't some
Of them realize that it is entirely their
own fault, because they allow their own
chimney to get smoky and dim and
therefore the light fails to shine through
it.
"A man living near precipice," she
continued, while sitting at his own cosy
tireside Of an evening, upon hearing sud
denly the sound of footsteps passing by
his cottage towards the brink, would
not sit still and let life be lost with
out saying word Of warning. We
would set light in the window while
he went out to render help to the one
in danger.
But here in common everyday life
how many souls are daily nearing the
brink of the precipice before our eyes
without our saying a word to hinder
them. Is this to continue? Will we let
all these souls around us go to perdi-
Il ~ before our eyes, or will we make an
effort to save them?
Save them we will try, by all means
all of us who are Christians. anyway.
We will not let them all perish 1t we
can help it. Let us rub the SCOT off the
chimneys of our pious spiritual lives and
set our light before others as shining
examples for them to go by"
