RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas. Our Heavenly Father has removed from our midst our loved and honored superintendent. Mir Nathan Lee Bishop; therefore be 1t
 Resolved. That not only has the Cen tral District lost a superintendent of unquestioned ability, but we as pupils have been obliged to part with a wise counselor of uniform fairness and kindness of manner.
 Resolved also That no community can afford to lose citizens of such eN- emplary character. for the world has too few of them: so; when death calls away one of these, the loss seems a personal one to many Be 1t also
 Resolved, That we feel our loss most keenly, and that we will try to benefit by the excellent example he has set us in his great educational career. Be if further
 Resolved That we extend to his family our sincerest sympathy and condolence in the hour of their af- fiction, with the assurance that one who has served God and his country so well cannot fail to receive the wei come. Thou hast fought good fight

CHURCH NIGHT AT REVIVAL

and lost forever. It spells also lost opportunity when we are away from Christ and it spells lost joy. You tell me the thousands of people who throng the streets without Christ are happy. I tell you a thousand times no. Mary, the mother of Christ, found her boy just where she had left him. He always stays in the place of right eousness, holiness, purity and helpful ness. You'd better come back to him and start back tonight. Are you right or have you been living merely a pro- fessional life? May some tonight find the lost Christ.
 For the service tonight the armory is expected to hold one of it's largest crowds of the series of meetings. as it is the regular prayer meeting night, but all these are given up for the ar mory service. There will be the regu- lar afternoon meeting at the Central Baptist church.
 Afternoon Subject Was Faith.
 Faith was the subject of Dr. Stough's address Wednesday afternoon at the Central Baptist church, which was the second afternoon meeting in the union evangelistic campaign. Before he spoke he called for reports from the morning prayer meetings, about twelve people responding and telling of meetings there from five to~ten attended and an earnest spirit had prevailed. Dr. Slough expressed great satisfaction at the reports and said this was, the most encouraging thing he had known of since coming to the. city. He urg- ed that prayer meetings might be ar ranged if possible where there were shut-in ones, at 1t was these bedridden saints who might pray the blessing to Norwich. %r <.
 A solo-Donft Stop Praying ed by Henry Herring, preceded the address of the afternodH by Dr. Slough, which was from the text I. Kings vviii. Al: There is a sound of abundance of rain Faith he said was one of the interesting things in Christian experi- enoe, It is a sort of sixth Sense devel- oped that has an eye and an ear and a perception all it's own that the out ward senses never. perceive. Faith Is believing thing to be- yours before you possess it. by reason of the prom ise of God. Faith is rational. It pre- supposes the revelation of Gods love and is builded upon the promises of Gods word.
 What God has promised he win full fill, and if a revival is to come to this city there must be an exercise of faith at the beginning He wants to visit his heritage in Norwich and he will just as surely as the rain came for Elijah, if you have the faith to say so. He urged a continuance in prayer for this end, as prayer was the active agent that works in the world today with faith. Claim the city today, and then we will all rejoice when the rain actually falls.

.0'CONNELL IGNORED
 BY LEE FORCES
Place Which Should Have Gone to Re. publican Alderman in Eighth Given
 to Water Company Engineer.
MAY RUN THIRD TICKET

Friends of Alderman John OSCon- nell of the Eighth district are indig- nant because the so-called regular Republicans met last night, framed up a ticket and left off the name of the alderman. The reason the so-cal1ed regualrs did not put the name of the alderman on the ticket was that he was not in favor of a pledged dele gation. The machine wanted a Lee delegation and they held a meeting last night without letting O'Connell or any of his friends know about it. The delegates to the Republican city convention are Charles A. Nichols, real estate man. Edward B. Greene, en- gineer for the Bridgeport Hydraulic
 Co.,, and Frank Caseria, a shoemaker m North Washington avenue.
 Alderman OfConnell said this morn
 ing he had not been consulted in the matter at all and he thought that
 some of the people in the district to
 geu tickets named. The alderman
 thought in view of the fact that he
 had few friends in the district and
 was the first man to ever be elected
 there on the Republican aldermanic
 ticket that he might have been con
 suited in regards to the make up of the ticket. Asked if he would yield
 to the requests of his friends and
 put another ticket in the field for con- tiOi OI tu0 olSlfICt IlG Sdlu, Iudy
 do something like that, but I am not
 prepared to say what I shall do about
 it this time. think all of the voters
 should have something to say about
 who goes on the delegate ticket.''
 The Lee regulars who made up it's
 ticket last night said that O'Connell
 was suspected of being for anybody except Mayor Lee and they were not taking any chances. The followers of Harbormaster Chas. A. Morris have selected a ticket in
 this belligerent district composed of
 Robert Farrell, Pearl Cheeseman and Thomas Watt and if Alderman O'Con- nell makes up his mind that he is going to have a ticket of his own
 there will be a three cornered. fight in the district.
 A supporter of the Lee ticket this
 morning said he hoped that the O'Con- nell faction would not tie up with the Morris crowd as the strength of the harbormaster isa growing daily.
 | Out in the Fifth district last night
 there was meeting which selected
 Harry H. Pritchard, John R. Carter and John Packard Gray as delegates to the Republican convention. The
 matter of choosing candidate for
 alderman was left to the delegates.

PREMIER BRAND
 IS IN TRAINING
Special from United Press.)

Paris, Oct. 7.-Aristide Briand, the
 new French Premier, is undergoing training his political friends say, for the coming session of the French Par liament which will convene within the next ten days and which promises to
 be one of the stormiest sessions of
 this stormy, body.
 Briands skill as political stBron-
 cho buster' is to be thoroughly put to the test. A Socialist himself, most
 of the other Socialists hate him be- cause they consider his acceptance of the premiership as the heir of Form CT Premier 'C1emenceau an act of trea- son to the party.
 During the summer vacation Briand has been trying his best to placate the adverse factions. Perhaps his best
 stroke, so far as temporary popular ity with the party in power Is con- cerned, was the employment of
 most of the discharged postal employees who were given the sack" at Clem- enceau's orders during the last gov ernment strike. Most of the deputies are in a conciliatory mood, their jobs depending upon popular vote and gov ernment employees in tobacco factor fes, railways, post, telegraph and tele- phone bureaus being very numerous Thus through the agency of strike Briand has; strengthened himself bot with the deputies and with the peo- pie.
 | Trouble, however, lies in the fact that the spirit of unrest is increasing throughout France dnstead of dim finishing and strikes are on the in crease. Anti-military outbreaks are of almost daily occurrence and petty treason is rampant in the army. The navy has practically to be rebuilt and re-organized as to personnel from top to bottom.
 This means that -Briand has a hard time ahead of him and as he has prac- tical1y not had a real day of office holding, adjournment having been talk en immediately after his selection, there is the keenest interest manifest | in his parliamentary moves.

 more than three years in the states prison in New Haven yesterday. He pleaded guilty to the charge of at tempting to pick the pocket of Her

 The Standing committee of the West End Congregational church will give 8 reception to all members and friends 1 of the church this evening in the church parlors. A short program will be given, but the larger part of the evening will be devoted to social in l tercourse. It is hoped by the conn mittee that all members and friends of the church will be present. Strang- CTS in the city are especially welcome. A meeting of the members of the Bridgeport club was held last night | in the club rooms. A committee was named to devise means of raising money. It appears that during the summer the, club has run behind. It was decided that an increased mem bership is necessary if the club is l to be maintained upon it's present scale.
 The Federation of Mems Church clubs of Bridgeport and Vicinity, will hold their regular meeting in the par lors of the First Baptist Church this evening at eight o'clock. Several mat l ters of importance will be discussed and plans made for definite work of l the Federation which covers some ac- | tivities proposed for this Fall and Winter.
