new concern has no wish to go into
any other part of Lyme or East Lyme
except Sound View. in the former, and
Crescent Beach. in the latter.
William H. Honniss Of Hartford, who
owns property at the shore, appeared
before the committee as representing
the Crescent Beach Property Owners
committee, as he did before the rail-
roads committee on the New London
and East Lyme trolley hearings and
the hearings before the committee on
public health and safety on the fsh oil
and guano and garbage matters. He
told the committee that the Crescent
Beach people were very anxious that
this charter be granted because Of the
need for the water and electricity now
being furnished and which would be
furnished under It.
The trouble came on the question OF
Incorporating this company to furnish
water Arthur NJ. Caulkins Of Water
ford appeared for the East Lyme Wa
ter company in an effort to preserve to
his company-for he appeared not as
an attorney solely. but as one OF the
owners Of the company-its right to
supply water to the people OF Ores
cent Beach. His company has a char
ter which covers the town OF East
Lyme, and has two reservoir ponds
where the water Is Of the best quality.
but has not laid a foot Of pipe or
supplied a gallon of water because. as
Mr.. Caulkins explained. It had not
been possible to make any arrange
ments with the town Of East Lyme
for the laying of pipes and the ereo-
ton OF hydrants so as to sell the town
and the village of Mantle water.
without the ability to DO business
with the municipality, it would be
profitless for the company to attempt
to sell water to private consumers and
especially so to lay mains several
miles to Crescent Beach to supply wa
ter there. Mr.. caullginA insisted that
there was still hope Of arriving at
some sore of satisfactory arrangement
with the town and village authorities
regarding this matter and that when
that was done the concern expected to
sell the Cruttendens and the other
shore people water, It having been as
sured that this would be possible The
shore people have become tired wait
ing for this, however and desire to be
placed where they could take care Of
themselves.

MEETINGS YIELDING RESULTS.
Evangelist Luther May Be Persuaded
to Remain Over Sunday at First
Baptist Church.

The Importance OF confessing Christ
publicly. as emphasized by Christ
Matt. 10; 30, S3), and by the Apostle
Paul (Rom. 10: 10Y, was set forth in
his usual forcible manner by Evan
gelist Luther at the First Baptist
church Tuesday evening. This might
be done. he said, in three ways. name
ly: In the ordinances (baPtism and
word of mouth. All three, he argued,
are important, and cannot be disre-
garded or neglected safely. The pas
sages quoted suggested the necessity
of confession as a proof Of salvation
in the same sense that effect follows
cause. 1t is also essential to any true
peace of mind TO the conversion OF
others, the defeat OF Satan, and as a
shield against temptation. The illus
tration Of this latter point, Mr.. Luther
instanced his own prompt confession
before his college mates at the time
Of his conversion. the result being
that through the closing year OF his
college life. which followed. he was
free from any solicitation TO wrong
doing. though far from being ostra-
cised by any OF the boys he had previ-
ously associated with. The motive
for confession, however, he urged.
should be that Of true gratitude and
love.
Tonight he will speak upon A Short
Bed and Narrow Blanket. The meet
ings are yielding results that bring
encouragement TO the church, and Mr..
Luther may be persuaded to prolong'
his stay over the coming Sunday.

they could in the emergency and sent
everybody home happy. When the
break occurred. a messenger was sent
out to the Breed theater to borrow the
needed part, but Just as he arrived at
Breeds the identical piece needed
broke in their lantern and could not
