MILLS AT CHRIST CHURCH
Preached a Splendid Sermon to a Large Congregation.


 In Christ Church. last Sunday morn- ing, Rev. W. Howard Mills. of Hunting ton, Conn.,, conducted the services and preached an impressive and powerful sermon from the text. Cast away from you all your transgressions wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die. O house of Israel" The theme of the discourse was the necessity of divest- ing oneself of the selfishness that places an undue value upon the externals or non-essentials. and disregards the more important spiritual elements; that makes us hesitate to mingle with Christians of different communions and pays more heed to the doctrinal form thau to the needy soul of the barefoot child.
 There was a large congregation pres ent, and many comments of approval were heard after the service. Mir. Mills made decidedly favorable impression and the hope was expressed by many who heard him. that he might be heard here again.
 number of gentlemen were ,vited tomeet Mr. Mills at Dr. 0. w. Camps. Sunday afternoon. He is a most com parfionable gentleman and 32 degree Mason, Odd Fellow and member of va- rious other fraternal organizations.

He was 90 averse to being alone that he frequently kept his young sons, 4 and years old, respectively, up until midnight. for company.
 John H. Dillon, brother-in.law of Doherty, who was his constant conn panion during the inquest and subse- quent proceedings, in connection with the wreck, declared Friday that 'the boy died of a broken heart as a result of that terrible wreck. His wife and friends did everything possible to sootho him during his frequent hystericaI periods, but the picture of that sight at Stamford preyed on his mind too deeply and our efforts were almost fruitless.
 "Why every time saw him he was twitching his fingers and grating hard. l often said: "Now Charlie. stop wor- rying over that wreck, and he was Al- ways saying I would if l could | can't sleep nights. can't eat. dou'u know what to do with myself.
