The Newtown bee., 1900-05-11

The work of the Connecticut Bible so- ciety, under whose auspices the local religious canvass is being made, was pre- sented at the morning service St the Con. gregational church on Sunday, by the new secretary, Rev Mir Roberts, and one of it's field workers, Rev Mir Hutchins.
 Secretary Roberts, who is bright and forcible speaker, said the society was 92 years old. It was first organized for the distribution of the Bible, and this work is still carried on. ''Wherever we find needy homes," said Secretary Roberts, i've leave the Bible, for we believe it is yet the power for righteousness. .' Twenty years ago the Connecticut Bible society began the work Of gathering of religious statistics. In the average town among the Protestants, it has been found that about one person in four does not attend church, and MT Roberts said he regarded this fact as serious menace to the future.
 ! Rev MT Hutchins, who followed him, spoke with great earnestness. He said that in walking over the town, he had become impressed with it's beauties, and natural attractions. It is glorious town and the citizens ought to be proud of it. MT Hutchins then based his remarks on Joshua Is: 3. He said that in some re. spects he feared the church had lost it's prestige. The church must always be on the offensive if it is to do effective work for Christ. Mir Hutchins said that in his canvass in Newtown he had met one lady who said she had not been to church in 10 years and her husband had not attended in 15 years and they both thought it WAS a laughing matter. He then closed his address by giving the re. ligious statistics he had gathered, but as the canvass is not quite completed, it will not appear in THE BEE until next week

The distinction drawn between STRAIT
egy and deception as the underlying
principles of the true game, and the
mere play of cardsWhich ranked as no
game, may seem finally drawn. The diff
ference between ozene and malaria IS
also slight. But one is invigoratinS and
onl life-saying, while the other Is bane-
full and death-dealing. So the true
game is healthful, building up and de-
veloping mind and body for the serious
work Of life, while card-playing is de-
generatiye, leading to a false standard
of conduct, and to dependence upon
the hazard of chance. 1t is essentially
and per sc" demoralizing, with an in
fluence akin to the play of stealing
and picking pockets" sometimes prac-
ticed by the "hoodlums" of the street.
These plays cultivate, like card-paying
undesirable qualities, but as they are
not quite analogous, so they are not
quite SO vicious in principle; for they
are wanting in the deleterious element
of chance, and leave the victim some
room for defence by the exercise of vigi-
lance
For these reasons it is evident that
the common feeling of distrust as to the
ethics and moral influence of card-play-
ing does not rest upon prejudice nor big
otry but upon deep philosophical prin-
ciples. The instructive dread of the i'm
moral and corruptive influences of the
play has sound reasons for it's basis and
it should be cherished until it becomes d
positive fear.-David M. Evans in the
School Times

HIS AUNT'S BLACKBERRY BRAN
by,

| Its Wondrous Virtues Untried in india.
''Apropos of the dreadful famine in
| india" said an English-born resident of
New Orleans, II am reminded of a curl
Gus little incident which is to this day a
sort of grim standing joke at my home.
Years ago-I think it was during the
great famine of 1SS2-a good old aunt Of
mine, who lives at Portsmouth, sent a
case of fine blackberry brandy of her
own making to relief committee which
had been organized in London. The old
lady made other contributions, includ-
ing substantial check, but she set par
ticular store by the blackberry brandy,
which she regarded as a specific for all
forms of human debility. She had read
of starving natives being brought to the
military posts in the last stages of col
lapse, and when she sent on the pack
ageshe wrote a long letter to the COM
mittee urging that the brandy be spe-
cifcally reserved for such casea of eX-
treme prOstration. In after years my
aunt frequently referred to that contri
button Of hers, and it gratified her to be-
lieve that it had been instrumental in
saving many lives. In fact, she went so
far as to calculate about how many ma
tives had been snatched from the Val
ley of the Shadow by timely sWig Of
the wonderful cordial and the reflection
gave her so much pleasure that nobody
ever dreamed of questioning the figures
Now for sequel. In 1892 the old lady
was in London on visit and desired to
buy a few bottles of wine and brandy
for a sick friend. / accompanied her to
"a 10, ao1 o,,f in, bu CT and
in the course of conversation the at
tendant remarked casually that they
had dozen or so bottles of 81 very
choice homemade blackberry brandy
that would probably be just the thing
desired. He sent for a bottle, and if |
live to be a thousand / will never forget
the expression on my aunt's face. 1t
was one of The celebrated famine life
preservers, and pasted on the side was a
faded slip of paper, bearing the date
and address in her own quaint hand
writing. OF course she was furious.
She thought she had unearthed the big
gest kind of a governmental scandal,
and l could hardly restrain her from go
ing straight to the home secretary with
the bottle in her hand. A little inyesti-
cation, however, soon developed the
facts. The relief committee, it seemed
had received a vast quantity of stuff
which was absolutely unavailable to
their purpose and which they very SEN
slbly sold at auction devoting the pro-
ceeds to the work. Among the lot was
my aunt's blackberry brandy. 1t was
bought by a speculator, passed through
several hands, and eventually reached
the establishment at which we discov-
cred it. The kindly old lady passed !
away recently. but up to the day of her |
death, famine, brandy, relief committee |
and even India itself were subjects |
tobooed at her Portsmouth |
home. New Orleans Times-Democrat |
