CLOSER TO ToILER.
Presbyterian Council Advise. Getting in
 Touch With worker..

The resolution adopted by the Pres byterian general assembly at Denver, eounsellng the men of that denomina- tion to get close to the toiler, was sound and well sanctioned by condi- tions as they exist. The toiler has well-nigh dropped out of Protestant church life. and many of this class, while they still attend Catholic ser vices, are more nearly nominal than actual Catholics. There are whole Prot estant churches which do not number a single mechanic in their membership, and scarcely a day laborer among their worshipers. Throughout the German working classes socialism has become their religion as well as their politics and scheme of social order, and the same is coming to be true of England.
 And yet the Christian religion has, throughout its nineteen centuries of development, proved the greatest solv- ent of human differences the world has evr known Why should it lose it's power and influence over the toiler at a crucial time in the rise of that toil- CT from tn status of a helot to the equal station of man? If religion be good for the care-worn woman, it cannot be bad for the burden bearing man whose only capital is his right arm and whose only hope is that he may some time have a home of his own and be enabled to see his children have better opportunities than he has enjoyed.
 Get close to the toiler! Everybody get close to hirnl The demagog, the agita- tor, the charlatan-they have gotten close to him already, not for his good but for their own. Time was in this country when the chief concern of these worthies was the farmer. They kept tho flies off his cows while he milked, but not off him. The moro flies that roasted on him the better was their purpose suited. Now the atten-
 ton of this class of self-seekers is be- ing devoted to the labor vote, the labor

very unsatisfactory in it's results we should begin our reform by taking lway the one point of the law which has been found to have some effect in restraining vicious and dangerous speeding. It is true that the other regulations of the new law permit something better in the way of en- forcement and something more drastic and restraining in the way of penal. ties. There is very much to commend in the other sections. It nevertheless seems a very strange proceeding to handicap this new piece of legislation by removing from it the one effective implement in all former legislation.
 Ultimately this problem will work speed limit probably unnecessary and unwise, but until the use of motor ve- hicles is much more nearly universal, and until human nature has had more training in the way of self restraint in the handling of this new method of travel, it is going to be necessary to maintain some arbitrary restrictions NlllNll III Cl lolCl ellld AC1AiJ 1iAAT lennial state will be unnecessary.
 As I tried to say in a former letter, I appreciate the spirit with which you receive this evidence of liberal leg islation. It is advanced undoubtedly. os SCH II 1BQl sI uonueluoo 6Iuo AN far advanced beyond present condi- tions as to make it for the present a , or ra posed to remind your correspondent that he forgets the large number of we'll disposed automobile drivers This is not the fact. There are very many of such kind as to make any leglsla- tion in regard to the way in which they use their machines entirely unne- cessary. However, just as in other walks of life, those who are well disposed must bear some restrictions which would otherwise be necessary, in order to restrain those who are evil
 and altogether selfish and who are to
 be influenced only by fear of severe penalty.
 Let us by all means advance. but let us never forget that small class of peo- pie with whom we must always reckon. Let us establish once and for all the supreme authority of inc law in this matter, and recover for the great majority the safe use of the highways of the state of Connecticut.

 Get close to the toiler! Get close to the man who carries his lunch in a tin pail. He is now in the center of the stage. He has learned to organize, and others, not his true friends. have learn ed to dominate his organizations for their selfish advantage. He needs friends, he needs comfort, consolation, hope and, above all else, he needs to be helped to keep hate out of his heart, envy out of his mind. bitterness out of his soul If the church cannot help. him to do this, what can it doa If it cannot give him a generous and yet just courage In his struggle up toward a full share of the fruits of his toll, of what use can it be to him? If 1t cannot help him in this world, it will do little for him in his relation to the life that is to come.
 If the church has not been next to the toler all along, the fault must be in the church. It was organized to meet just such cases. If the toiler has ceased to need the church it is because the church has ceased to perform one of its highest offices. The Presbyteri- an general assembly has sounded a clarion call that every church, and every churchman, should hear and heed. How, is for the church to find out. The secular press cannot tell it. It can only bear witness to the need and speak words of encouragement now and then.-Sacramento Union. [

1r1NERANT MISSIONARY WORK.
A New Britain Church Society Ready
 With Gospel Wagon.

New Britain, June 7.-The Peoples Church of Christ, which is one of the most zealous evangelistic bodies In the city, has adopted a new plan of cam paign, which will be watched with in- teres: The church has had gospel missionary wagon made to special or2 der. and proposes to tour the city with it. This is a novel method to New Britain of holding open air religious meetings. Hitherto the Peoples. church has held services on the south% end of the park, which have attracted good deal of attention, but with the gospel wagon, it will have the advantage of moving about from one place to am other, and appealing to all kinds of people
 The church has the wagon all paid for. It cost $325. Horses will be hired for drawing it around the city. It is proposed to put the wagon in use every Sunday afternoon from to [ o'clock. It will be under the direction of the evangelistic committee of the church, but different members of the church will be expected to assist in conduct ing the meetings. The wagon is built along the lines of great big bus. It will accommodate dozen people com- fertably.
 On the rear end is platform, which is much better than the rostrom, which the average political cart tail orator enjoys on his speech making campaigns. At the front end of the wagon is a small organ, so that there will be instrumental music to accom- pany the singing. The wagon has a broad top, so that the gospel workers are protected in all kinds of weather.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Automobile and the Safe Use of
 the State's Highways.

Ahe automobile hnu me Snfe use or
 the States Highways.
 To the Editor of the Journal and
 Courier:
 In thanking you for your discus sion of automobile speeding, in which you have emphasized the large public interest involved, I beg to suggest one fact as worth keeping in mind in the further consideration of the subject
 The old law describes the driving of a car or motor, vehicle of any descrip- ton at a point inconsistent with saf- ety, or beyond a point of speed that is
 reasonable and proper" as an off, fense punishable by fine, and under certain conditions, by Imprisonment. Its language is almost exactly the lan- guage of section of the proposed law. The difference between the old law and the new law is that the old law made reckless driving an offense, and also made 1t an offense to go beyond a cor tain speed limit. The new law makes reckless driving an offense, and lays down no speed limit. The interesting point is that it has been possible to enforce the old law on the question of speed limit, and thereby to do some good; for 1t is beyond question that the evily disposed have been some- what restrained by the fear either of heavy fine or jail sentence. There is however, so I am informed no record of enforcing that part of the law which forbds a speed greater than is reasonable and proper having regard for the width, traffic and use of the highway or so as to endanger proper Ety or the life or limb of any person"
 The officials have found it so difficult to approhend and make successful prosecution of any offense whatever, and have had such hard work with even clear regulation as to speed limit, that they have seldom or never attempted to exercise their arbitrary judgment as to what was safe or proper" The new law takes away the only form of enforcement which so far has been in any degree successful,
 The step therefore seems to be, a backward one. It may be that more freedom should be given, under some circumstances. as to speed limit It may be that certain options should be given 10 towns for regulation It does however seem strange that at this point of automobile legislation, which, as you so clearly say, is still
