PATIENT RAN AWAY

Home at Old Lyme--Examination of.
Charles White.

On Sunday evening patient at the
Norwich State hospital left the in
stitution without being discharged or
paroled, and 1t is supposed that he
went to his home in Old Lyme, where
he will be sought and brought back.
The institution never allows such pa
tients to remain away, although he is
harmless, and thus far all who have
taken French leave have been secured.
This man, who is Jacob Slate. was a
quiet patient, who worked on the farm
and was at the colony building.

relatives, who want him released,

sci w. j. Burrows was also present.
White was sent to state prison for a
crime he committed and there became
insane and was transferred to the
Norwich State hospital. He had the
delusion of persecution. talking about
false imprisonment, and while he inns
proved here he was not well, when
1t was suggested that he be sent to
Italy, where a change of scenes might
restore him, it was thought. He was.
therefore discharged for the purpose
of having him go to Italy, but he didn't
go and soon returned to Groton. where
he had threatened people. He was
taken to the hospital again and be-
came so bad that it was advisable
that he be recomrnitted. Then a pc
tition was brought to the probate court

believer of unbelieyers and ever since
then 1T has been the worlds question.
1t is the urre question that will not
own, that men struggle over till they
answer it arlgut or else they stlfie all
their moral consciousness. TO the
question of Talmadge as to what was
the great question Of England, Glad
stone answered that there was only.
one qvestiontand that was the question
of Christianity. When his people
should answer that Alright, they would
answer every other question. What q
Transformation In, this nation, or this
state, or this community, or the home
life here, IL this question could be an
swered aright, 1t Is the paramount
question and the one that God is ask
ifig today. IT is the most momentout
questi6nabeeause upon our answer de-
ponds our acceptance or rejection with
Cod Today there is not man or
woman who will accept Christ but what
God will pardon.
Morally Good or Bad.
1t is not a question today of being
morally bad or morally good. It's not
question of morality, but Of Gods
son, whom he provided as the remedy
from sin, and the man that turns
away from him turns away from the
only remedy that God has. provided.
Peace of heart also depends upon the
answer to this question. What is all
the world seeking, the banker with his
wealth. the society womans with her
pleasure the man with the tin pail?
They are trying to get money and
wealth and property that through these
things they may satisfy great unrest
that turks in their bosoms They are
seeking peace although they may not
know 1t, and peace is not to be found
in these other things, but only in the
forgiving grace of Jesus Christ. This
is the judgment day question. 1t will
be, What about my Son? Did you not
hear Him preached from the pulpit,
sung from the choir, taught at your
mothers knee? Did you not hear that
He came to save souls and what did
you do with Him? As you answer will
depend your destiny for eternity.
Afraid to Stand for Principle.
What pity that plate did not an
swer this question right to send his
name ringing down the centuries as
the champion of Jesus Christ! We
need such champions stalwart, coura-
geous, uncompromising for the cause
of Christ. but PLATE was afraid to
stand for principle. He was afraid of
his crowd and afraid of his job. and he
was afraid Of the exposure of his sins.
You know men today who would stand
for Christ except for this craven spirit
and there are men also like PLATE who
are covering their sins. But no man
can hide his sin and prosper. Tonight
there are just two things for you to do
in answer to this question. accept or
reject him, confess or deny him. God
help you to take your stand with him
tonight
