CORRESPONDENCE

Between Bishop Lines and a Former
Prominent Citizen of East Haven.
East Haven, Conn.,, Nov. IL, 1908.
Rev. DR.. Lines-It is seldom that joy
and sorrow are blended together While
this is no doubt paradoxical, also an in
congruity as a rule, yet they represent
in words at this time the minds of
many of those who belong to the zone
Catholic Apostolic Faith, as handed
down by the fathers" s...r =.
You have been recently wisely elected
''to the work and ministry of bishop"
in the Episcopal church, and on this ac-
count you are sincerely congratulated.
Yet while there is joy and gladness, it
must be said that the hearts Of all are
saddened when the great loss the Con-
necticut church will sustain Is seriously
considered-not only the parish of st.
Paul's, but in broad and catholic
sense, the entire diocese.
In this connection, and at this time
and place, it is a genuine pleasure to
assure you that what you have done
for Christ church, located in the subur-
ban town next east of the great uni
versity city, will always be gratefully
remembered.
Your numerous acts of kindness and
words of encouragement in the dark
DAYS of the East Haven church are
proyerbial. You cut away and removed
obstacles. and the ancient, historic
church was again reopened.
You now leave one of the largest, one
of the wealthiest dncluding the Betsey
Bradley estate) and one Of the most
important church societies and organ
izations of a religious nature in the do
cese of Connecticut, in this common
wealth, and probably in the six New
England states. It's boundaries and
confines and additional place of wor'
shin now "extend beyond the river and
| the sea-"
No church ministration embracing al
| most a quarter of a century, and con-
tending with the usual vicissitudes
| could be more successful.
In conclusion it is hoped that happi'
| ness and prosperity in the superlativt
| degree. as s'Bishop of the Diocese O.
Newark" and of yourself individually
and family, will be continually the goot
| fortune of all in your new home nea
the greatest city in the New World.
| Respectfully,
| CHARLES w. BRADLEY.

crete company against the Lion brew
cry. Bristol. Stoddard, Beach & Fisher
appear for the Concrete company, and

A SCOTCH FORECAST.

Mr.. Chamberlain crusade has, there
fore had the immediate effect of making
Scottish workingmen concentrate all
their energies, as they have not hitherto
done, on the promotion of their own
class interests. To these he has APP
pealed with his usual directness, but
they see, or imagine they see, that 1t is
not they, but the large employers of
labor who would profit by the success of
his campaign; it would involve tri-
umph for capital, but not for labor.
Hence it is that the great majority of
them will declare for free trade, and will
at the next general election, which cam
not, in all probability, be long delayed,
give a general support to the Opposition
provided it's leaders accept labor candi-
dates wherever there is probability
Of their securing majority of votes
and if they write on their campaign
slate not only free trade and education,
efficiency and housing, but a full ac-
lceptance of the present labor pro-
gramme. But the they have no great
confidence in the present chiefs of the
Liberal party; they, in fact, look upon
them and their opponents as two sets of
men representing the wealthy, aristo-
cratic and so-called governing" classes,
who are contending for place and
power Review.

ADDRESS BY DR.. BROWN
DELIVERED AT TREFIRST PRES
BYTERIAN CHURCH

On. Thanksgiving Day-A Picture
Drawn of the ThanssiVing of the
Heavenly Hosts-A Continual Thanks
giving.
The THANKSGIVING services at the
Presbyterian church are more OIL ae
votional type than usual on ThanksgN-
ing days. The aim seems to be TO Call
out the spirit of gratitde to God for per-
sonaI and community blessing, and Gull
tivate in the people the habit OF THANKS
giving to God. The congregation was
unusually good. The sermon was upon
the thought of Thanksgiving Day lh
Heaven DIR. Brown, pastor OF tae
church, gave as the basis Of his re-
marks the passage in the Revelation Oh
John, seventh chapter, twelfth verse
brief description of the heavenly
choir was given, and then the especial
thought of the sermon was presented
IT was noted that a preacher haa III
this phase Of the subject unlimited
room for the use of his imagination ana
the engagement of his thought. Inc
multitude in the choir, the number pc
yond the computation of human mlno'
was Of inspiring grandeur, sufficient 10
lift the most impassiye temper TO a
strange heat of exaltation. And then
this vast choir seem to have unlimited
expression and ascription OF praise
They pile thought upon thought, emo
ton upon emotion in Thanksgiving en-
ioyment that banishes the mechanical
sense Of utterance. It is spontaneous
praise. guileless Of all art and aesthetle
expression, and yet in the highest sense
really so because of childlike uneon'
seriousness. But the Thanksgiving day
in heaven is not limited in time, It was
forever and ever. The sources of graft
tude in that vast choir could never Of

the Divine goodness was an eterna
stream flowing in upon the hearts ane
minds of the angelic multitude. True
gratitude is not for day or year
or a life time it is not a product of tn
seasons, it is eternal. There is some
thing more than suggestion In thi
subject than this Thanksgiving day Il

Melallo, died very suddenly at her home
in sHighwood yesterday afternoon at !
o'clock. Medical Examiner Joslyn of

ing an examination said that death was
due primarily to heart disease and aid
ed by acute indigestion. He said that
