HIGH COST OF LIVING
 STRIKES MYSTIC SCHOOL
Legislature Asked to Appropriate $500
 Each for Deaf Children.

This week at Hartford Mrs. Clara 1 M H. McGuigan and MT and Mrs. Brill of the faculty of the Mystic Oral school for the deaf and several of the pupils of the school were before the 1 committee on appropriations of the legislature in connection with the hearing on the matter of the annual appropriation for the support of the school and a special appropriation of $5,00o for the completion of the build ing which the state took over four years ago. The school now has 69
 pupils and the appropriation asked for 1913, is figured at the rate Of $500 per year per pupil on basis of 65 pupils and there is a $20 allowance for cloth ing per year.
 This, the committee was told, while the highest figure yet asked for-the
 start was made at s175 per year and the figure has been gradually raised from that 10 the $275 at which the appropriation for maintenance was made in 1911-was low in comparison lar institutions in other states. The increasing cost of living made 1t neces- sary for the basis of annual cost per pupil to be raised year after year. that the main building of the school had been finished with the exception of the third story, and 1t is necessary for this to be finished right away for

 The pupils of the school delighted the committee with exhibitions of the lip reading they are taught to do. Ex- hibitions of this sort have become a feature of the work of the appropria- tions committee of each legislature for several sessions back. but they never pail on the legislators. The children, who are unable to hear single sound of any kind. and some of whom have never heard a sound, are able to con- verse with absolute facility by lip reading, and the older ones have been taught to modulate the voices which they cannot themselves hear so that in some cases it is difficult to realize but what they are in full possession of all their faculties.
 The committee inquired with care into the financial affairs of the insti- tuition but seemed to be we'll pleased with the manner in which it was being conducted and is expected to report the appropriations favorably.

PERSON CUT DOWN
 LEAD HELD BY JORDAN.
Latter is Now Tied With HaviIand for
 First Place in Arcanum Pool.

Thursday was a night of particular interest in the handicap pool tourney at the Arcanum club, as a game was on between Jordan. who was in the lead, and Pierson, who is a scratch man and one of the contenders for a place towards the top. Jordan needed to get 90 to Piersons 120, but Pierson was in such splendid form and had the balls rolling so nicely that he galloped away like a racehorse, running out his 120 when Jordan had made only 59, which is the smallest score Jordan has made in this tournaments play.
 Haviiand, who had been in second place, took game, 90 to 45, from Smith, which sent him up to a tie with Jordan. Honeyman won his game from Tilly, who is compelled to make 120 as scratch man. Honeyman won by score of 30 to SS.
 Williams took a game from Bailey, so to 7s. making another close game lost by the latter. who is making reputation in this tournament for all most but not quite winning. He has lost more games by a margin of five balls or less than any other man in the tournament.
 Jordan, who is in the 80 class on handfcaps, has but two more games to play, Friswen and. Stearns Haviland has yet to play sstearns and Pend1e-

Christ In Our Mldst.

Standing before you and tonight,
 in our midst is our Lord Jesus Christ.
 He is here because He ts interested in
 us; SC much interested in us that He
 died on the cross for use. He wants
 us. He is here as our friend, fonder of
 us than is anyone else. He has been
 looking for us for long time. Years
 ago he walked in Palestine looking for
 people, and He found them. They found his friendship so great that they trusted all in Him and were ready to leave all .ts do nything He wished. His Geath and His ascension didn't take Him away. He is just as much here as He was in Palestine Christ is going up and down the streets today as He did then. still looking for friends He is not waiting for Us to as they were. and so he does today. He took them and gave them a chance towards perfection It was through their friendship with Him that they our opportunity to be good lies in His friendship. Whether or not we are with Christ depends upon whether or not we accept His friendship. If we are putting ourselves in His hands. praying to Him each day. taking Him into consideration in all we do, trying to be directed by His will, trying to do just as He says. even though we fail again and again, returning to Him sorry and penitent, then we are with Him. He is a wonderful friend. one who has the right and the power to decide things for us. to be trusted and obeyed. He will direct us to take up the work of His church, to support His church, to gather in his services, to come to His sacrament. We must ac- cept His friendship and He will be our friend forever.
 This was the fifth of the united Len ten services. The preacher next week at Christ church is to be Rev. P. Sid ney Irwin Of Christ church, Pomfret.

NOMINAL CHRISTIANS AN OBSTACLE
Not Only the Open Sinners Who Stumbling BlocIs-Im
 pressve Sermon by Rev Charles L. Adams of Pittsheld at Fifth of United Lenten Services.

At the united Lenten service held Ihursday evening at Trinity Episcopal church the sermon was by Rev. Charles l.. Adams of Pittsfield, Mass. Rev MT. Ada ms took as his text Luke against me,
 To what people, said the speaker, did the Lo--d refer when he spoke of those who were not with him We have but to look about us to see who slows the progress of Christianity. In the mission field of China it is not only the heather but the men of Chris tian lands. who go there without Christianity, who hinder the work of Christ. Nominal Christians who are no Christians are often the biggest obstacle to the church Those sup posed to be with Him may be most seriously against Him. Some people judge Christian religion by those per- sons who attend church but who are not Christians and as a result are aversed. He who has but the out ward appearances of Christianity he who approaches the holy communion unworthy, is a stumbling block in the way of Christ.
 Stumbling Blocks.
 It is not only those who are open sinners, and yet identified with the church, who are stumbling blocks, for there are great number of others who go to church. and though not no- torious and reputed to be pretty good people, yet are nevertheless not with Christ. There are those whose religion is an entirely earthly thing who think that religion means merely supporting the church. Support of the church is a high desire. but it is not the essence of religion. In the lives of the many people whose religion does not go be- yond the earth God is not found as the directing force of the life. They either claim or take it for granted that they are with Christ, but as a matter of fact they are not with Him. We ask them who is with Christ.

CENTRAL VERMONT WOULD
 GUARANTEE s. N. E. BONDS.
chambsrIin Would Also Have Them
 Backed hy state of Rhode leland.

4 committee of the Providence city council has adopted resolution advo-
 eating the passage by the council o1 an order to authorize the appointment of an advisory committee to inyestf- gate the matter Of the states guaxan- teedng $e.00t.oo0 in bonds of the
 soulnern New England railroad.
 This resolution will Dc introduced in she city council at it's next meeting. The action or the committee followed 2 long conference with President Ed sen J. Chae1berlin of the Grand Trunk and other railroad offlciA1s
 Mir. Chamberlin and the other raiI- road officials went before both branch es Of the general assembly in joint convention and said that the Southern
 New England railroad extension from
 Palmer to Providence would be com
 pleted provided the state would guar
 entee bonds to the extent of $6, 0o0, 900,
 the amount estimated as necessary. MT.
 Chamberlin stated that the Central
 Vermont railroad would guarantee the
 bonds. but that with the additional
 guarantee of the state it would be
 easier to procure the necessary funds.
 Continuing, he said in part:
 T believe that the state, in granting
 this guarantee, would take no risk
 whatever! It has been estimated by my predecessor on the Central Yer mont railway that the Southern New sustaining. The Central Vermont railway has never failed since its re- organization in 1899 to earn and pay the interest on it's bonds. In adGi- tion to this, It has traffic guarantee of the interest on the bonds from the Grand Trunk railway, which amounts at the present time to about $900, 900 a year, but has never found it neces- sary to call on the Grand Trunk rail- way for any contribution on account of this guarantee; therefore, with the Central Vermont earning it's own fixed charges and the Southern New Eng land estimated to be able to do like wise, there is still the traffic guaran- tee of $906.oo0 to make good any de- cured during the first few years of operation Of the Southern New Eng land, and when you consider that the fixed charges of $6,000,000 at per cent. are only s240.000 per annum this traffic guarantee on top of the Central Vermont guarantee should convince the most skeptical that there is very little danger of any call ever being made on the state of Rhode Island in connection with this matter.
 Whatever is to be done in this df- rection should not be delayed, as we have certain duties to our contractors. whom we have asked to suspend work temporarily which must be met at an early date We had the undoubted right under the contract with the con tractors to suspend work for 1ne win ter months. but the spring will soon be with us, and we must then decide whether we are to permit them to go on with heir work or whether they will be permitted to remove their plant and take contracts elsewhere. The latter would be deplorable, as we probably would not be able to get them back at later date"
