FIVE MORE APPLICANTS.
Total of 78 Are Now Asking for Liquor
 or Drug Licenses.

There are now 78 applicants for li- censes for saloons or for the sale of liquor in drug stores. Five more were added to the list on Friday, as follows: Pitcher & Service, 253 Central avenue; George Engler, Broadway and Main; James E. shannon. Market and Com merce; George Thomson, Taftville; John Donovan. 56 Roath street.
 The hearings on the applications for licenses in the town of Montvflle can- not now be held until next month. Originally the board of county com missioners scheduled the hearings for this month, so that the licenses if granted could be taken out Nov. 1. The change is necessary because of the fact that Charles D. Ramage of Mont vile has petitioned for a recount on the license question, claiming that one ballot disqualified should have been allowed. The hearing on the petition has been set for Saturday, Oct. 30. in the superior court, Norwich, before Judge Ralph Wheeler.
 The county commissioners can take no action looking toward the award of licenses for Montville until it is settled that the town is a license place. The hearing will be held soon after the petition hearing in the superior court, if the decision of Judge Wheel CT sustains the license vote. If Judge Wheeler's decision is for no license. no hearings on the present applications will be held.

MYSTIC TO HAVE
 AN OLD HOME WEEK
Planned for 1910 and 1t Is Favored
 by Many.

After an agitation extending over a period of ten years the movement for an Old Home week in Mystic in 1910 is taking definite shape. This week Edward Perkins Clarke has sent to former residents of Mystic almost 600 letters, calling attention to the pro- posed Home week and the response is most encouraging. The first letter opened was the first address on the list, William D. Breaker of New York, who will be there and who wishes to be enrolled.
 The first out of town member of the association is Deputy Town Clerk John H. Ryan of Stonington, always an enthusiastic Mystican. Jesse D.. Crary of New York, enrolled the same day. sends a letter
 The first person to send his mem bership fee was a man over 90 years of age, James D. Fish of Brooklyn who Is joined by his brother, Benta- min Fish. John s. Schoonover of Stroudsburg, Pa. votes in favor and from F. H. Lewis, a successful lum- Der dealer of far-off Minneapolis comes an enthusiastic endorsement of the enterprise. County Commissioner Charles D. Moves of Norwich sends a good letter, assuring his corporation, as does George H. Murphy Jr of Brooklyn. Jeremiah Holmes of Bridge port and Charles R. Stark of Proyi- dence are always to be counted on in any enterprise which promotes the welfare of their native town.

MUCH TO COMMEND
 IN VOLUNTEER CHOIR.
Director Spooner Says He Never Saw One Such Size to Produce Such Volume.

Those in charge of the union evan gelistic campaign are finding much to commend in the work of the volun- teer chorus which leads the singing at the armory under the direction of D. Lansing Spooner. Altogether, about 175 different people have been enrolled in the chorus, but the aver age attendance has been about 120, while the backbone of the organiza- ton has been the 80 or more who have been present at practically every meeting. Director Spooner says for the chorus that he has never known an equal number of singers to pro- duce such volume. and, as for tiring them out, that seems to be an im- possibility, for apparently they would stay and sing all night after the meet ing is over when he spends little time with them in learning new hymns. The only practice they get Is in the half hour song service, which opens the meeting each night, and in the time spent after the service, when so many from the congregation are attracted to finger for the music.
 In the campaign the service of the chorus is considered to be almost on par with the work of the evangelist, for the impression produced by their singing is recognized as an important factor in preparing the congregation for the message to be delivered by the preacher. Interpretation is the point aimed at. by Director Spooner, and on this point he speaks highly of the way the Norwich singers have followed him and the effective work they have done for a group made up mostly of untrained voices. His aim is to have the chorus do much more than merely lead the singing. It is to give meaning to the songs and for this end he is constantly showing new and original methods of singing the hymns, all with the idea in view of tarrying the message of the hymn to the people. For the way in which the Norwich chorus has followed his lead ership in this respect he has words of the highest praise.

DAVID'S TEMPTATION BY SATAN
Like Him People in Danger Through Complacency -Ony Foolish Man Forgets God in His Plans Says Rev. F. o. Cunningham Revival.

There was a good attendance at the union evangelistic srvice at the Arm ory on Friday evening. The usual half hour of song, led by MT. Spooner and the choir, preceded the regular service conducted by Rev. F. O. Cunningham. Notices were given of the Young Peo- ple's Rally at 3 o'clock Sunday after noon at the Armory, and the mass meeting in the evening. The topic at 5 p. m. will be Electric Railroads. A song by the choir during the collection and the requested prayers were follow ed by the solo, He Lifted Me, given by MT. Herring. Rev. MT. Cunningham's address was a continuation of the same line of thought pursued on Thursday evening-Sin and Salvation. The scripture reIding was taken from the Fist chapter of I. Chronicles, and was the story of -David's temptation by Satan to number Israel. and gof his punishment by God for his pride of power. God gives him his choice of three forms of disaster to Israel. Dav-, i'd wisely throws himself into Gods hands with repentant spirit and re- ceives forgiveness and mercy. The lesson was found in the 30th Psalm, which David wrote on this occasion. No writer has fathomed the depths of sin, sorrow and suffering or ascended to greater heights of joy and praise LlldIl HdS 11dNiQ I1S IS Lllc peer u Shakespeare in his knowledge if hu- man nature. Mans natural treatment of sin is to assume an attitude of com placency. David said, q shall never be moved" It is this complacent atti- tude towards sin and forgiveness which is SO dangerous Men build their plans for life as if they thought they would stay here forever They go on expanding in a material way, with no time left for soul culture and no thought of the words, And after that
 Those who thus leave God out of their lives and forget the after that" are in the same danger as David was through complacency. To such death often comes and leaves their building plans unfinished, as it did to E. H. Hartman. It is very foolish man who forgets God in his plan. Some even go farther and shorten their own lives by this forgetfulness. Byron has tened his end by his own unbridled passion; Poe was haunted by the raven of his own appetite, and Napoleon was killed by snuff.
 The men of today make the same mistake in thinking they can never be moved. They think, too their own power is so great. False dignity, which Is another name for pride, is one of the worst diseases. They say, with David. Thou hast made my mountain strong" They must learn to unbend

and be just ordinary people. Man IS lost and Jesus came to save slnnefs- not a lot of dignified people. A hum- ble and contr-te heart is necessary, . which knows it's need and loneliness for him to help. God hid his face from David Why was this? His sins hid God from him. The sun is always shining behind the clouds, and the sun of righteousness is always shlning with love and blessing behind the clouds of sin which hide Gods face from us.
 The primary sin is forgetting Gods right to rule in our lives. It is a duty and a privilege to walk in his ways. Great blessings are lost by not seeing this. Some men are like the man who woud not pay to have cataract re- moved and went through life half blind, he was so miserly. Many oth- CTS think they see. but are so short sighted they cannot. David saw and cried, T have sinned-hea1 me-" and woman ever asks justice of God-but mercy God granted mercy and lifted him up. The miner does not climb out of the mine-he is lifted up. In the same way, all you have to do if you are convicted of sin Is to step in and be lifted up. Do not try to cut off evil habits by yourself, but put 1t diL III luC OL NAAl AbL 0AAd aAC "fAA lift it up. To the contrite and penftent he offers a pardon, freely issued and countersigned with his own blood. Like the great organ in the catherdral upon which Mendelssohn, the designer, played, our lives were all built by the Great Master, who should be given the right to play upon his own Instrument. that it may produce the sweetest. music and may the song be one of praise.

TRIBUTE TO E. p. GARDNER.
A Friend in Dorchester Praises the
 Character of a Former Norwich Man.

The following tribute to the late E. P. Gardner for fifteen of twenty years deacon in the GreeneviIle Congrega- tional church, appeared in the Dor chester (Mass.) Beacon:
 Editor Beacon: Noticing in the col umns of your paper October ? the death of E. P. Gardner, I would like to add a few words as a tribute to his mem ory, offering an expression and appre- ciation of his many good qualities as citizen, neighbor and friend. Having enjoyed the privilege of his friend ship for the past ten years, ever find- ing him the embodiment of upright ness and all pertaining to the life of a Christian gentleman, and adapting himself to the companionship of all ages; with low, gentle voice and child like simplicity, pleasing the children; again being fitted by education and sterling business qualities to mingle with those of his own age in the walks of everyday life. As a citizen, ever ready to uphold and firmly sustain what he thought to be good govern ment; as neighbor, always giving a kind word and lending helping hand when occasion required; as friend, none more true or sincere.
 His connection of the last four years with the Stoughton Street Baptist church as custodian had gained him many friends, the loyalty to whom he has shown by his frequent cards of remembrance during his recent ab- sence. Within the walls of the spa cious church in his days of labor he silently and alone mourned the loss of his most estimable wife, who died April IA, 1905. There, we believe. his thoughts and prayers turned heaven ward, nourishing the Christian life that was drawing to a close. At last wearied and in i'll health, he resigned his position.
 June 8. in seeking a much needed rest, he went west, visiting his rela- tives and friends, some of them he having not seen for years. His health much improved and happy. he was to return home soon, when he met the tragic end. Without word of warning or good bye, his soul was launched into eternity, where friends are unit ed and our loved ones dwell. God grant he has heard the welcome: "All Is well'
