OLNEYV|LLE:.

John McDermott, who for more than 20
years has been employed in the freight
department of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad. died at the Rhode
Island hospital yesterday morning from
injuries he received from a fall at the
boarding house OF Nora Connors, 22l
Valley street, on Saturday evening.
Mr.. McDermott was known by some OF
the inmates OF the house to go to the
cellar about II o'clock and at the time 1t
was known that he was somewhat under
the influence OF liquor. but as he has al
ways been OF a most sociable and good
natured disposition, whether under the
influence OF liquor or not. but little IL
any attention was paid to the incident.
Just before midnight John Sharkey
went to the cellar To put the furnace in
order for the night, and when he reached
the foot of the stairs he stepped upon an
object which proved later TO be the form
OF Mr. McDermott.
Mr.. Sharkey then called upon William
DAILY, Patrick Hughes and Thomas Coo
ney, who were boarders, and they went to
the cellar and found McDermott laying
with his feet upon the bottom step and
his head against the stone walk OF the
cellar and In an unconscious condition
Mr. McDermott was taken to his room
by his fellow boarders and the Chaffee
street police station was notified and Ser
geant Bennett responded, and ne tried TO
get the services OF a number OF local phy-
siclans, but none would respond. so he
called an ambulance and the injured man
was taken 10 the Rhode Island hospital,
where he died at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Immediately after the accident his
brother Hugh. who resides at 1S3 Julian
street. and sister. Catherine sheehan, of
~ Groton street, were notified and they
were with him when he died

Rev. Or. Gray Finishes His
Sunday Talks at Y. N. C. A.

At the Y NJ. c. A. yesterday afternoon
Or. Gray spoke on the Dew on the
Fleece" basing his discourse on an in
cident found in the Book OF Judges. 1t
is the story OF the evidence God gave TO
Gideon when he called him to deliver
Israel out OF the hands Of the Midienites
their oppressors. He told the story OF
an angels appearance to Gideon calling
him a valiant man and announcing TO
him the fact that God had chosen him
to deliver his people from the power OF
their oppressors.
He then related the various objections
that Gideon raised 10 such an undertak-
ing and the various proofs he asked OF
God that he would be with him OF a GER
talnty. He asked as an evidence OF God 3
presence that when he put a fleece on
the floor that night that IL alone might
be wet with dew while the floor around
might be dry.
The next morning ne found II as he
had asked: and not being satisfied he
asked for still another proof that this
time the proof might be reversed, and
that instead OF the fleece being wet
the fleece might be dry while all the
floor around might be wet instead. God
granted his request and the next morn
ing he found the fleece dry while all the
floor around was wet as he had asked
From these experiences OF Gideon the
Doctor said we could see Gods willing
ness to give a man all the evidence
needed before he asked him 10 have faith.
And that God never asked n man 90 have
faith In him without giving him all the
evidence and every token necessary az
ground for his faith and confidence.
The Doctor further stated that the evil
dence God has given US IN found first I'm
the Bible itself lie referred 10 It's hs-
tory 10 show Its authenticity. and how
this was confirmed by the present day
observance Of Sunday which had It's
origin In the resurrection OF Jesus. Sun
day being the day on which ne rose from
the dead. II was further confirmed by
such institutions as Baptism and the
Lords Supper.

THEATRE SERVICE
Large Audience at The Afternoon
Meeting al tho Empire.

The Empire theatre was filed TO the
doors last night. standing room being at
premium az the regular afternoon SER
vice as conducted for several weeks past
Rev. Dr. Cameron presided at the meet
ing, and seated on the stage beside the
principal speaker, Rev. A. c. Dixon Of
Boston. were Rev. DR.. Henson and Rev.
Edwin Bromley. who took part I'm the
service Herbert l.. Clarke gave several
finely rendered cornet solos, and also ac-
companied the congregational singing.
Rev. Mr.. Dixon's address was listened
to with greatest interest. He said In part:
The highest conception of man is man.
When we think OF angels we think OF
them as men, So God puts Himself in the
highest form known TO man. We find il
one of the most difficult things to con-
ceive or the nature of a spirit: so God
presents himself in concrete form as
man. We don't have 20 take the best
characteristics of this man and the best
OF that maykpnd so on, in order to.
think Of a perfect man. Think of Jesus
His was not the kind of purity you have
10 put under a glass case. but the purity
that can come into contact with impurity
and remain undefled.
When we try TO initiate others we gen
eTdIIy succeed In Initiating their faultS.
In a concrete presentation II Is the
worst that remains and creates the i'm
preston. but when we initiate Christ we
are striving in emulation of a personality
that II all perfection.
I'VE have IN Christ Gods Ideal OF
greatness. Men measure greatness by
power and the amount OF service they re-
ceive. God measures greatness by the
amount Of service that men render The
millionaire becomes great through his
wealth. and the politician by the power
OF organizatio
Each Is continually receiving service
Christs idea OF greatness is TO get under
meath and lift others to greatness and
happiness. Tn New York there is a statue
and l think of IL this afternoon, with the
snow and sleet beating down upon II. the
bronze neck barred and the hands shack
led together
ION the base OF this statue is an in
scription reading: I regret that have
but one life TO give up for my country.
Nathan Halel That is my idea OF Chris
tlan greatness. The self-sacrifice and love
that leads one 10 give up his life for
others"

train, early one morning recentiy'
when he saw a man sitting on the
track, apparently asleep. He hustled
the stranger from the track Just as the

his name. He was perfectly sober,
and said to the watchman:
