The University School, of Bridge port, offers special advantages to stu dents desiring to complete their prep aration for college in a limited time. This school is in close touch with the colleges; has had large experience in preparatory work; and the results of it's work have been satisfactory-an unusually large percentage of it's stu dents entering college without condi- tions, and winning high honors in all departments of college life, and even greater success in the subsequent pro- fessional or business life. As the time of preparation was in many cases from 25 to 50 per cent less than it would have been in other schools, the above result is the more noteworthy. An important factor is the Summer school, which enables students to take the college examinations in September as we'll as in June, and to continue their studies practically throughout the IF months. The head master, Vincent 0. Peck, may be addressed, or consult ed by appointment, at 836 Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport.

Pittsburg, January 1.-THE 5000 employees

eleven blast furnaces of the Carnegie

ton, to take effect tomorrow The tom
Iage men are not affected by the cut
owing to the operation of the Amagamat-

will stream over them until the world
will be freed from selfishness and sin.
The rabbi bows his head in silence. But,
10. listen! SUDDENLY from earth to heaven
rises a chant melodious: Let the name
of the Lord be blessed! At the sound of
the chant entoned by Israel beneath the
angel hurries off closing the gates of the
storehouse of disasters.
What is the meaning of this legend?
When our life is such that it is praise
unto God, the chamber of disasters is
closed Israel is not the only sinner. You
or l are not the only sinners, but every
man, like Israel in the legend, is respon-
sible for every other man. Because we do
not feel our obligations to others, and are
Indifferent, and fail to guide others, the
flood of disasters sweeps over us.
LET us then resolve to make our life
a song of praise to God, and of service to
man. Then our wishes for the future
will become more than a passing dream
they will turn into a scroll of glory to
God and man."
