PIPELINE CONTRACTS AWARDED
Section One Will Be Built by Torrance and Section Two by Dodd-Reservoir and Dam Not Awarded Yet.

There were fifteen bids received by the board of water commissioners re- garding the contracts for the construc- tion of the reservoir and building of the dam at Stony brook. The bids were opened Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and submitted to the board of water commissioners at a special meeting held Saturday evening at 7.30. The birds varied greatly, and in order to have time to consider them more thoroughly it was decided not to award the contract for the reservoir and dam until this week, and not to give out any figures regarding the bids untid the contracts have all been awarded.
 For the pipe line, which is divided into two sections, there were eight bids, and it was decided to award the contract for these sections to Archi- bald Torrance for section No.1 and to Thomas Dodd for section No. 2. Sec- tion No. is from tn edam to the highway south of the Salem turnpike, while section No. ? is from that point to the Morse place in West Main street. The figures on these it was stated by a member of the board will be given out when the other contract is awarded.

Easter Sermon at Congregational Church.

Rev. Charles H. Ricketts preached4to large congregation at the GreeneVille Congregational church Sunday morn ing, taking for his text John 20: IT, Jesus saith unto her. Touch me not" The sermon was immediately preceded by a baptismal service.
 In part MT. Ricketts said: The res urrectioL impresses the thoughtful mind with the changes wrought by death, and these changes are contrary to the generally accepted notions of death. A careful study of the doctrine of the resurrection as given in the gos- pei shows us that the real significance of death is not found in the destruction of the body but in the exaltation of the spirit; the former is only the subordi- nate process by which the latter is realized.
 We put the greater stress upon the physical in death because this only inn presses the senses. It is a physical tragedy that troubles Mary She has seen his body cruelty maltreated on the cross. Now her tears are stream ing because that body had apparently been stolen. But when the living Christ appears before her, her deep grief is changed almost to tumultuous joy. The response that Christ makes to her fervent "Rabboni' is somewhat cold: Touch me not"
 How shall we explain this? Christ
 
 a breaking heart rudely. But Mary is not in the least offended, but joyfully goes to fulfill her Lords command. The only rational explanation is that when our Lord entered the resurrection state there was such an exa1tation of spirit such an outlook upon life in it's nobler and grander aspects. after it had lost the impeachment of the body, that old relationships passed from sight. Some how Mary seemed different to Jesus after the resurrection than before not that she had fallen in the least in his estimation, but that he had gained so much in death that the relationship between them had grown exalted and refined. Jesus had lost his provincial garments and had become the univer- sal Lord. He no longer looked at her from the standpoint of physical en- vironment but as spirit holding fellow ship with spirit. The relationship that Christ after death will be different from what it is now. Just what that relationship will be we cannot say. It even baffied the apostle John: Tt doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that. when he shall ap- pear. we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.''
 We positively know very little of the hereafter because of the dominance of the physical Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God neither can it see the kingdom of God, hence the necessity of faith. But Christ rose with body, at least with the semblance of a body, as was abun- dantly proven. Still it might have been assum ned for the time being for the purpose of proving to the sceptical the reality of the resurrection. But when the doubters were convinced that body disappeared for once and all. If Jesus came back with the old body why was he not immediately recognized? What had he lost. what had he gained ir death?
 Now as ever men depend too much on the testimony of their senses. It is

OBITUARY.
John Dearins.

Tho death of John Dearing, son of MT. and Mrs. Henry Dearing, occurred on Saturday evening at g o'clock at his home, No. 23 Bath street, where he resided with his parents. He had been sick and confined to his bed for the past seven weeks. his last illness beginning with a severe cold and be- ing complicated with the rheumatism from which he had been a severe suf- ferer for the last eleven years.
 The deceased was 36 years old, a native of Jewett City. but residing here since 1879. He was unmarried and his poor health prevented him from working steadily for a number of years past. He formerly belonged to the old Norwich Hose company, No. 4, the volunteer organization which was once located in the Boswell avenue house. He was of disposi- tion that made friends easily, and his death will be regretted by many in this city. Besides his parents he leaves two brothers and sister, all residing here-Henry Dearing, Fred Dearing and Mrs. Catherine Schwetner

 The board had two hours meeting, but considered no other matters ex- cept the bids and the warding of the contracts.
 Both of the large filters are now on their foundations at Trading Cove brook pumping station, and the con- nections of the first have been nearly completed. The work of connecting them up is being pushed, and it is probable that within week they will be ready for use.

The rain of Friday morning amounted to .29 of an inch, and on Saturday Fair view showed four inche gain, being at 148 inches below high water mark. and an IS inch stream coming in from Meadow brook. No measure ment wa staken on Sunday, but Mea- dow brook stream will continue to give over an inch increase for some time.
 The department is getting along well with the changing of the main in Laurel Hill avenue the water being shut off Saturday morning for a part of the time, and for another section in the afternoon while coniections wee being made.

the things of time and sense and not
 the things of unseen and eternal that
 claim our attention. The side of death We emphasize is the physical passing away and not the spiritual bringing into the newness of life" It is the tornado that unroofS and uprOots be- fore which we stand in awe, and not the still power that turns the earth around in it's diurnaI orbit or preserves the solar system in the variety of it's revolutions.
 May not this be an exponent Of what takes place in the human heart by the grace Of God? May it not typify what may be when we shall enter into the | newness of life in the full resurrection sense? In a word, then. the resurrec-
 ton proves that the destruction of the body-which is the main work of death -is only a subordinate process through which the spirit becomes exalted. Notes.
