Taking for his text the charge which

clared that those thus denounced had

who stood in the way OF others becom-
ing Christians. This. he said, was
sometimes done purposely, and gave
instances which had occurred under his
observation He was glad to say he
had no knowledge of such purposed
hindering in Norwich. But this hinder
ing work was also often done uninten-
tionally. by teachers in error who led
people to base their future happiness
upon false hopes; or by a false con-
servatism, that opposes special efforts
IN revival work; or by prejudice and
Jealousy on the part of professedly
Christian workers; or by a failure at q
critical time to witness for Christ; or
by the inconsistencies of worldly mind
ed professors; or even by unsaved ones
failing to take a stand for Christ. and,
by this influence, keeping other inter-
ested ones from doing so. The above
points were forcefully illustrated by in
cidents drawn from the speakers ex-
perience as an evangelist.
At the close of the service it was
decided to go on with the services Fri

OPPOSITION FROM THIS
END OF THE STATE.
Several Speak Against Public Utilities
Bill.


There were several from this end
Of the state who spoke in opposition
to the public utilities bill at Hartford
Wednesday.
Arthur II. Brewer of Norwich said
that he was connected with the Nor
witch Savings bank as vice president
and chairman of the finance committee.
The bill would take away the work OF
directors and place il on three strang-
ers who had no financial interest in the
bank. 1t was a fad to hector corpora
lions which were the life blood of the
community Was Connecticut TO fol-
low in the footsteps of New York Was
it to have three little kings? 1t would
make Connecticut laughing stock to
pass bill like this.
Bryan +. Mahan Of New London was
sure that it would be a service to the
state to kill this unwise bill. He said
that the vote taken at the meeting of
the New London Business Mems asso-
citation to support the bill was by 81
men, and that only one man was fully
familiar with the contents OF the BILL
so he was informed, J. A. Allen. who
appeared before the committee Tues
day. There was no public opinion in
New london favoring the bill. There
vas not much support for the bill
among the Connecticut press. 1t was
a vicious and unwise bill and in the
end the commission would become po-
htically prostituted. A dangerous in
novation had been put in force in New
York and had already cost the state
q million.
Mr.. Mahan recommended that Con-
necticut wait two years till the expert
Ynent in New York state had been tried
out.
Charles r. Hanscom Of New London
didn't like the bill.
Leonard II. Healy OF North Wood
stock told a story and then opposed
the bill in behalf of the executive com
mittee or the site grange, Of which he
is the state master.
At 5.10 the hearing adjourned till
Tuesday.
