Soul Winning Versus Gold.

King solomon In my text tells us
how we can make good use of our
lives lie says: Soul winning is the
greatest OF all work open to us on
earth II Is better than seeking gold
II Is better than seeking fame. II Is
better than having high political posi-
tions. lis returns overtop those OF all
other mental ana physical and spirit
ual endcavors. No matter what your
brain or worldly opportunities may be.
the graudcSt. the best and the happiest
work on earth Is the work of bringing
men aud women TO the cross. He
that winncth souls Is wise" or. To put
this truism In another way. solomon Is
saying. NO matter what a man may
be accomplishing, II he is not soul
winner FOR Christ he is missing the
greatest opportunity Of his life
And this assertion is the more amaZ-
Ing because we find it In the book of
Proverbs. or all the writers OF the
two Testameuts there Is not one who
represents worldly wisdom In its clear
est type ms did King solomon. \ man
may not believe In the rest OF the Ri
bic. but he must believe In the truth OF
most of these proverbs. Indeed, il has
been asserted that Solomon could not
have written the book OF Proverbs. but
must have collected the proverbs OF
many lands ana combined them In one
book ANA yet right in the midst Of
those invaluable nuggets of worldly
advice he wrote these words Of my
text; "IIc that winncth souls Is wise"
Let MS study for little while why the
occupation OF soul winning is the
greatest and the most important and
the happiest business in which any
man can engage.
In the first place, when a Christian
wins a soul for Christ he deals with
the only part of man that is immor-
tai. He deals with the only part of
man that will never die. The soul is
that unweighable, unanalyzable some
thing In the human body which dwells
in the flesh. but which springs out OF
the flesh when that flesh dies And
then. taking upon itself the pinions of
immortality. II flies away TO another
realm. another world. another place OF
existence where II lives and continues

BOARD OF SAFETY
VIII Regulate Speed sl Inc New
 Fire Automobile.

At meeting of the board of pub lic safety held yesterday afternoon a vote was passed which regulates the speed of the automobile fire appara- tus. The speed going to fire is twelve miles, If in the judgment of the driver that Is sufficient, but in all cases It shall be compatible with public safety, and In returning from a Ire the speed may be six miles an hour and the same when turning cor ners. This speed is considerably faster than any team of horses could so at, and 1t Is never necessary to run the automobiles at their full power. Both machines can go 90 miles an hour which is far too fast. and extremely dangerous in conl- munity the size of Waterbury. The rate the machines have been going at since they were first brought into daily use has been the talk of town.
 Policeman Thomas F. Grady was promoted from grade A to B with the pay that goes with the advance.
 The board recommended the adop. tion of resolution by the board of aldermen that the detectives be made detective sergeants. Increase in pay does not go with the change, as the detectives are now paid at the same rate as the sergeants.
 P. w. Halpin of the late Rose Hill Volunteer fire company tender ed an invitation to the board to at tend farewell banquet by the com. pany at the old Rose Hill fire station this evening. The invitation was accepted.
 Applications from James H. ODon. nell and William Murfield for ap- pointment to the supernumerary DO lice force were filed and Michae Conlon was appointed special con stable of the old Croft school of which he is janitor.
 Policeman Timothy J. Callahan who hurt himself while chasing n man suspected of burglary in the north west side of the town the other night will be kept on the pay roll till restored to duty.
 Commissioner Minor and Phillips were appointed a committee to take care of the estimates for the fire and police departments this afternoon when they are under consideration by the board of finance.
 Policeman Oscar Erickson was all lowed six months off without pay. He proposes to blow in some of that $2,000 he won at fair recently and it is said he intends taking a trip to the old country.
 Commissioner Malone reported the existence of an obstruction on the sidewalk near the premises of the Randolph & Cloves company the past few months. The matter was referred to the police. The obstruc- tion is believed to be some building material left on the walk by the workmen after they had finished their work.
