YOUNG hEN's MEETING
Miss sara wray Will Speak Sunday
 Evening.

Miss Sara Wray, superintendent of the Eighth avenue mission, New York city, will be the speaker at the young mems meeting in Jacques opera house next Sunday afternoon at o'clock. Miss Wray is widely known for her successful work in New York city. ows of New York" Before coming to this country Miss Wray was notable worker in the White Chapel district of London and had many thrilling experi- ences during the times of murder and bloodshed of that district. The fol lowing clippings indicate something of the appreciation of Miss Wray's ad- dresses elsewhere:
 ' "On Thursday, October 26, we erl- joyed the rare treat of listening to Miss Sara Wray of London. England. Miss Wfay was conducting meetings in the city for the Eyangelistic associ- ation of New England, and through their intereession she came to us. She gave, by request, her experience from the time she cOnsecrated her life to the Masters service. Her address was full of thrilling incidents, especially as she portrayed the time spent in the Whitechapel district of London.
 Miss Wray's personality, enriched by years of service to the unfortunate, manifested itself in the trIiest elo- quence. We were not ashamed of our tears, neither do we regret having been brought in close touch with some of the sadder phases of humanity. Miss Wray will nrohahiy mover. know what an object lesson in oratory she was to us; neither can she realize how far she has aided in expending our spir- itual horizon. Emerson College Mag aZine.
 Miss Wray spoke in Grace church, Providence, R. l., when I was rector there and made deep impression. Her earnest spiritual life and her devotion to the cause of Christ bring her near to the weary and hungry in way which must help.-Floyd ". Tomp- kins, Philadelphia.

Speaking Of Governor Roberts's ac. ton in appointing New Haven poli- tican 10 he a judge, 'Trumbull," in the New York Herald, scores the gov ernor as follows: The strength of the argument in favor of the appoint ment of local judges by the governor instead of their election by the people whose local affairs they have to con sider is broken by this action of Gov ernor Roberts in nominating for an important iudgeship the brother of New Havcn's republican leader for political reasons. It gives no assurance tfat in the event of the ena ctment of thc necessary legislation giving him the power of appointment he will avoid making selections for q partisan pur- pose. On the contrary, it gives assur- aEcc that he is not above using the Judiciary for the purpose of paying his political debts. l regret the incident not because MT UIlmaD is necessarily all experiment, which he is, but be cause the state has been treated to an object lesson in practical politics which throws the governors pretensions of judicial non.partisanship to the winds.

that no sooner is one through with

two weeks were two of the most

enced
1.-THE work on the switch engine,
which lasted one week, was the har-
dest / ever experienced, | believe"
the foreman declared. "The position
of the engine and the rising river
made this work very hard. Then too.
we broke the derrick car arm while
trying to iii the engine out and af-
ter that had to resort to other meth
DDS of getting the engine out.
During that time we were called
out three times to wrecks on the
road and had to abandon the work
of wrecking the engine and cars at
the incline to work the road derail-
ments. We have been working two
solid weeks without a single hours
lay off and | don't remember in my
