Body, the Church, else He never would
have offered up that most fervent
prayer. Then Christ gave the para
bIes, too, of the mustard seed and the
draw-net, and in both these figures of
the extension of the Church, the idea
of her unity is preserved. The mus
tard seed, however many branches it
may have, is only one tree, developed
out of one seed. The draw-net how
ever many meshes it may have, is but
one net. Now, all these different sects
cannot possibly be right. Divine
Truth cannot have hundred forms.
And the worst Of it all is that many
of these different sects are actuated by
such hostility to rival sects that for
them to receive the one sacrament Of
the most precious body and blood of
Christ together would be an impossi
bility. Would anyone call that spirit
ual unity?" The rector concluded by
saying: "These things, my dear breth-
rem, are not matters to jest about or
laugh over. They are very serious
things, and consequently they need
our serious consideration and prayer,
considering the great danger the
Church is in by our unhappy divisions
They are. not matters to be offended at.

take away from us all hatred and pref
udice and whatsoever else may hinder
us from Cody union and concord"

A NARROW ESCAPE.

One of the johnson boys on the
Samuel Clark farm in Romford, came
near meeting with a serious accident,
one morning last week. He was driv-
ing a team with a load of wood and
was near the New Preston station
when the train came along and struck
and broke the neck yoke, knocking the
horses to one side. The engineer stopp-
ed the train to see what was the mat
ter. Fortunately little damage was
done, but it pays one when driving
across or near car tracks to hold up
the horses long enough to listen for
the engines whistle, especially if it is
near train time.

itative "Kingdom of God," before the
New Testament was finished. Yet all
the while the Church was perfectly
organized and achieved it most glor-
ious triumphs. The Church was not
manuscript but kingdom; not book,
but living, believing, worshipping,
governing and working Church. and
that we must remember that the prec-
ious Book was written by Churchmen,
for the Church already existing, and
must therefore be interpreted accord
ing to the Church's Rule Of Faith, and
that we must know this first, that no
prophecy of the Scriptures is of any
private Interpretation, for the proph-
ecy came not in old time by the will of
man, but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
And as one has truly and wisely said,
"Without the creeds the Holy Scrip
lures are as treasure house of which
we have lost the key. And the Bible
divorced from the Church would be
like constitution without nation,
or code of laws without a govern
ment to give them sanction or author
ity.'" He then went on to say that
the Reformation was a blessing, but
it's blessings were not on the side of
unity, but rather to disintegration
and the multiplying of schisms. That
it was not his purpose to describe the
different dissenting communions, SUI
fee it to say that small parties OF the
brethren took each some one doctrine
which all hold in common and made a
special "church''s to emphasize that
one point at the expense of other
truths which were equally vital. The
Presbyterians were the first to leave
the historic Church, and then followed
the independents, who began to Sc
cede about 10 years later. They were
followed by the Baptists, the Quakers,
the sMethodists, ETC., for the schism
once began now reaches up to the
hundreds, and as an excuse, not an ar
gument, he had frequently heard it
remarked that "The unity of the
Church of Christ was spiritual and in
no sense visible or external" The rec.
tor said, "That excuse would be very
reasonable if it were the whole truth,
but it was very small, though impor-
tant, part Of the truth. And the whole
truth is what we ought to have. But
what was the great Apostles view OF
} the unity which was intended to sub
sist among Christians? He speaks in
deed of there being "One Spirit" But

and that the connecting words that
are used point US only to Christ, the
rector of St Johns church went on to
say that when the Church began to
spread,l and went from one nation to
another, it was natural for names of
places to be associated with it, but the
church was still one, Holy, Catholic,
Apostolic and Christian, whether
in Jerusalem, Ephesus, Africa,
Greece, England or America, because
it has the same Head on earth, the
Holy Ghost, and the same Head in
Heaven, the assembled Christ, and the
same Sacrament, and the same Scrip
lures, the same ministry, (bishops,
priests and deacons,) and the same
Liturgy. AS we read the Acts Of the
Apostles we see that from Whit-Sun-
day the Christian church is as real a
thing as the Jewish church was before

TOWN BRIDGE WASHED AWAY.

TOWN BRIDGE WASHED AWAY.
The breaking up of the ice on the
river, Monday and Tuesday, caused
good deal of anxiety for the safety of
the Town bridge, and not without
foundation, as it appeared later. Many
staid up until the early hours, Tuesday
morning, expecting every minute the
ice would break. The long-looked-for
event occurred between IL and IL,
Tuesday morning, and was witnessed
by quite a number. With considera-
BILE noise and cracking the ice broke,
and huge cakes struck the bridge right
in the middle, breaking it in two as if
made of match wood. Hon Nicholas
Staub and Polander were caught on
the other side of the river, and had to
stay there a couple of hours or so be-
fore assistance could reach them. Mr.
Staub was taken from his perilous po-
sition about IL O'Clock by S. ]. Ferris,
who had boat near his ice house.
The news of the washing away of the
bridge spread like wild fire, and soon
crowd gathered, some expressing
words of regret at the loss of it; others
rejoicing. The old bridge sailed ma
jestically down the river like ship Of
the White Star line. 1t went in two
sections. The largest half stopped on
the meadow, 500 feet south of the shop
of J. A. Northrop, on the river bank.
The other half went over the dam at
the electric light works, struck the
railroad bridge, tipped over and went
on down stream without doing great
damage. The bridge was built about
IS years ago at cost of some $500. 1t
is more than likely town meeting
will be called to consider the question
of replacing it. If an iron structure is
decided on it will cost some 500, 900 to
1925, 900, as the piers would have to be
rebuilt. Coming at time of depres-
sion in business, the accident is to be
regretted. It is an accident for which
no one is to blame, coming under the
head of those events spoken of as an
"Act of God" The lesson to be
learned by the event is to elevate the
new bridge higher on substantial stone
piers. This will necessitate added ex-
pense in building up the approach to
the west side, but it will undoubtedly
be necessary.
Monday night nearly all the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of the hat
shop had to vacate their homes and
stay at the former place for safety.

The new metropolitan steam hre en- zine recently purchased in New York at . cost of s5.0oo. arrived yesterday morning and was installed in the Madi- son Avenue fire station.
 The big fire fighting apparatus is handsome piece of machinery and con trasts wonderfully with the present fire engines of the department which are of styles twenty years old.
 The fremen are exceedingly proud or the new engine and drove 1t about the streets down town yesterday afternoon to let the people see it and join in their admiration of its beauties of construc- ton.

Is not intended for parade purposes, but for work and hard strenuous work at that The fact Is clear from the black pajpted boiler instead of the bright nickel-plated surfaces of the exterior of the old timers and while not making such glittering appearance. It com mands respect for it's look of solidity and power One thousand gallons of water a minute is it's capacity to pump into hose and through an ordinary fire hose nozzle. it Is said that the power Is strong enough to throw a stream 300 feet straight into the afr.
 There are four supply valves on the engine making 1t possible to attach four lines of hose to 1t to get the in- creased water pressure through the en- zine.
 The most notable feature of the, ma chine at a glance is the length of the truck on which the boiler rests. It ap- pears to be almost twice as long as the trucks of the engine now in use in the department. The body of the truck, the wheels and general fnishings are in n pretty maroon color and the working parts arc nickel-plated and finished in steel. It is equipped with all modern appliances known to the manufacturers of such machines and is a model engine in all respects.
