DAWSON ON HOST"
To God, It Has No Meaning of Final
 ity, He Says.

Dr. Dawson in the Dwight Place church commented on the great number of requests for prayer that had come to him from women. He asked them all to have faith in the power of pray CT. Dr. Dawson took for his subject the single word, Lost" and his text, Luke xv., where he said he found certain keynotes, One of these was the power Of the unit, the Individual But 1t was not on that that he inteded to preach. he said. But on the one word, Lost suggested in the text. We must dis associate he said, the word from theo- logical discussions. If we are to under stand il as Jesus Christ did. We are apt to use the word with an idea of tinality. We do not usethe word. lost of people until they have sunk very low. With Jesus it was a condition that could be remedied. It was with Him not a hopeless word.
 Persons are lost In three ways. The first is by losing the clew of life. The second Is by being misdirected. The third Is by perversity It Is not the will of ChrisE that any should be lost. Dr. Dawson told of millions being spent to find Livingston, On the other hand God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." That was net too much of a sacrifice to save the world. There is no one lost. but that there Is someone seeking him; there Is no one lost but wants to get back. The trouble is that people stand still and let Jesus pass by them.
 An impressive thing happened as Dr.. Dawson was about to close The clock in the church parlors struck the hour of nine. and could be plainly heard. Dr. Dawson said they were crossing over into another hour and he urged them to make 1t a better, d holier one, a beginning of larger things for Christ.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY Excellent Presentation of Davy Crockett by Seniors Last
 Evening. AUDIENCE IS APPnECIATlVE All Players Take Their Parts in Good Form, With Interesting
 Result.
AUDIENCE IS APPnECIATIV

In their presentation of David Crockett" the members of the senior class of the New Haven high school showed last night that it is not be- yond the power of amateurs to present a really good show. The major parts were played in manner that was masterly, especially the development of the part of Eleanor Vaughn. the heroine. by Miss Vera Bartholomew. The part of David Crocket" was per haps the hardest to act, yet Irving. c. Beebe left nothing to be desired. Henry J. Hegel as Neil Champion gained much applause. while Henry Falsey as Major Royalston and George P. Carr as Oscar Champion were good. Among the minor parts Miss Rose D. Starin and Miss Leah R. Orgler were very humorous. The part of Dame Crockett as given by Miss Mildred M. Farnsworth was very interesting, and ably done.
 Irving Beebe, Miss Rose Starin, Miss Vera Bartholomew. Miss Mildred Farnsworth. and Mss Leah Orgler were presented with handsome flow CTS.
 The house was remarkably well fill ed and the efforts of the young ac.hrs were we'll rewarded by the applause.
 The wolf scene in the second act where David bars the door against them with his arm, and the elopment of David and Eleanor in act " were the most thrilling parts, but the strongest parts of the play were the pathos and the clever delineation of character,
 The costumes were handsome and natural. which lent greatly to the real ism of the play.
 As a whole the play was eminently a success. and will always be remem- bered with pleasure and satisfaction by both the actors and their friends.

of his order the calm judicial mind which insures justice.
 T think that this popular feeling is, in most cases. unfounded, but I believe that 1t Is better. where 1t can be done without injuring the authority of the court and the efficiency of Its process, to grant such a privilege to the con- temnor and thus avoid an appearance of injustice, even at some inconveni- ence in the matter of securing another judge. There is some analogy, though it is not complete, between the exclu- sion of judge from sitting in the court of appeals to review a decision of his own. which now obtains in the practice of the federal court of np- peals by statute, and the present sug- gested case. It is of the highest im- portance that the authority of the court to enforce its own orders effectively should not be weakened, and therefore I am opposed to the intervention of a jury between the courts decree and its enforcement by contempt proceed ings. IL would mean long delay and greatly weaken he authority of the court. I do not think that the permis- sion to change the judge, however, would constitute either serious delay or injure the efficacy of the order. while 1t may secure greater public con- fidence in the justice of the courts ac- ton. The appearance of justice Is all most as important as the existence of 1t In the administration of the courts.

THE GREATNESS OF MAN.
Mans Doings and Shortcomings" is
 pr, Ostrom's Subject

Another good audien greeted Dr. ostrom last evening, and he preached perhaps the strongest sermon of the series thus far. He spoke of the greatness of man, with his power to think around the world in a trice, and said that this great creature Is great sinner. Those who say that man is only an undeveloped angel lock thelr doors at night. If there Is an angel in man, Ii is wonder that the thing does not hatch"
 A grat sinner needs great saviour -- no angel was strong enough to do for men what they needed-it took Hea. ven's best.
 This great saviour brings a great sal vation. Tt gives a man a new love and love becomes the fulfilling of the law. All the thunderings of Sinai can be sllenced in an instant by the drop- pings of Calvary.
 Al the conclusion of the sermon he asked all the men to go to the Sun day school room, and made a powerful plea for them to lead a Christian life fathers for the sake of their boys, husbands for the sake of their wives and young men that they might be kept from sin and ruin. Many re- snonded when asked to raise their hands and a dozen came forward Co take his hand, and thus indicate a def mite acceptance of Christ. After this all the personal workers met for a sea- son of prayer and a renewal of conse- eration to their work. The entire ser vice was preached with deep earnest ness

DROWNING AT WATERBURY.
Edgar Blanchard Goes Through Ice in
 Middle of Channel,

Waterbury, Jan, 9.-Edgar Bianch- ard, aged sixteen, was drowned this morning about 9:30 o'clock while skat- ing at Lakewood The young man lived at II Belleview street. The body was not recovered until about noon, when Patrolmen Cavanaugh, Bergin and several others recovered it with grappling hooks.
 YounS Blanchard, with several other boys, was skating at the lake this morning. The boy left his compan- ions and skated up to the upper dam beyond the bridge. Blanchard was skating backwards and before he had time to change his speed the ice was breaking under his skates. He was in the middle of the channel, where the ice is thin, before he finally broke through. The water is about fifteen feet deep at this point and young Blanchard quickly sank.

The first little urchin to be asked what he would have promptly replied "A Sundae,' which was very appro- priate. though he might not have known it, for an evangelistic refresh ment. They all followed suit One wished MT. Asher a Happy New Year, belated holiday greeting that it was, but he heartfelt no doubt nevertheless as the result of the ice cream. Another told MT. Asher that he would see him again to-day but that gentleman re- piled that he guessed he W uld be busy. Still another came forward with stor- ies of more boys down the street that he knew, but their host thought twelve was his limit of treats for one night and hurried of to the Church of the Redeemer to tell the good people there what had happened at the saloon.

DIR. CHAPMAN ON DECISION"
Urges His Hearers Not to Put 1t on
 Longer.

T have spoken very slowly this evening, you probably have noticed" said Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, in clos ing his sermon at the Church of the Redeemer last evening. That was to be sure I made no appeal to your emo tions; 1t was because l have felt that tonight is crucial one in this pres ent movement In New Haven; a turn ing point as it were
 Dr. Chapman's sermon last evening was. like its predecessors, a deeply in- pressive one. Perhaps that was made the more so because he did talk more slowly. His sermon was replete with a great number of personal rem iniscences again. He took for his sub ject "Kadesh- -Barnea." This he ex- plained to be place of decision, to which the children of Israel came in the course of their wanderings to the Promised Land. Dr. Chapman urged his hearers to make 1t their day of de- cision. He dwelt upon the evils of de- laying in matters of the church and the necessity, oftentimes, of an inf1u- ence and suggestion from without in coming to that decision.
 In relating one of his personal rem iniscences Dr. Chapman said
 Down at 156 Fifth avenue (which, by the way, is the Presbyterian church's headquarters, from where Dr. Chapman gets his commission as an evangelist) there is the record of a great revival that swept out from Santa F'e, And there was one man that was at the head of it. That man once came to me and made clear to me how to be a successful preacher. He said that for fifty years he had never gone on the platform to preach without first getting a warm hand shake of encouragement from his church officers. They prayed for me-" he said. Dr. Chapman urged the same cooperation on the part of pastors and congregation for success ful results in New Haven.
 Another personal reminiscence was of John Wanamaker. For many years,' he said, T preached in Phila- delphia on a platform where I had twenty-five of the elders of my church about me. Among them was John Wanamaker. Some times MT. Wana- maker would rub his hand on my arm while I was preaching and say That's going great l pray God that He make it go great with you, friends"
 There are some critics of the church that say there are none of the preach CTS of the old New England days any more. I tell you what we need. It is a great spiritual baptism in the church to-day more than anything else. Oh may this be day of decision for many of you, a Kadesh-Barnea, Ka-
