Barnett in the Tabernacle Christian church here yesterday. He then pro posed that the entire congregation go across the street to the Presby- terian church and worship as an evil dence of good will and Christian brotherhood.
 All of the 25O members of the con- gregation fell in with the plan and, headed by the pastor, the Rev. Vim. J. Wright, crossed to the other church. They were given a hearty welcome. The two congregations Joined in sing ing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds Our Hearts in Christian Love- and the Presbyterian pastor, the Rev. w. B. Tyler insisted on the Tabernacle pastor assisting in the service. Both congregations were so well pleased with the plan that several of the lead CTS said similar pilgrimages to other churches would follow.

RESCUED FROM DISABLED
 YACHT OFF STAMFORD
 SHOALS AT MIDNIGHT

Mrs. Mary Stewart and her daugh- ter, Mrs. Louise Lewis, of Jackson vile, Fla, were taken off the auxiI- iary yacht, William Jennings Bryan at midnight Saturday by a boat crew from the Colonial liner Lexington. Off Stratford shoals the auxiliary yacht had sprung g leak and was faring badly in the choppy sea when the hus- bands of the women hoisted distress signals. All hands including the wom- en were at the pumps when the boat crew in charge of Mate John Sheehan of the Lexington, came along side.
 The men and the crew refused to leave the Bryan. The women were taken to the steamer, given dry cloth ing by the stewardess and carried to Providence. Afterward they left for New York The men managed to get the Bryan righted and sailed her across Long Island Sound to Port Jefferson where they beached the craft.
 The party had been visiting ac- quaintances in Bridgeport and were headed for Oyster Bay when the craft sprung a leak. The engine stalled then and the party were at the mercy of the waves until the women were taken off. Then the men managed to get the engine going again.

dust-woman. the Catholic church teaches. is mans helpmate his part ner, the wife of his affection for the building up of the family and there fore the state.
 Penetrate mems lives with this teaching and see the far and wide reaching respect for woman that stretches out before us.
 There is another danger that con- fronts us today the widespread po- litica1 corruption that is wound about us on every side. The power of money in our legislatures, and in the framing Of laws We have coined a special word to express this dishonesty in po- l1t1ca1 life Is graft honey-combing g our cities, our state and federal legis- latures? Now what is the teaching of the Catholic church in this regard? :? Our religion teaches us that no man can take an unearned dollar from the city, state or government and if he does he is as much a thief and more than the man who holds you up in the street at the end of a revolver, or the burglar who enters your home at night.
 f'The judge who accepts a bribe, the alderman who votes for a franchise for a block of stock or a, gift of money, the man who casts his vote for any other consideration than the good and well fare of the nation is as much a trail tor as was Benedict Arnold. This is the Catholic church teaching and any man, who steals a. dollar from the state, is guilty, ehe teaches, of a sin against the seventh commandment, and he may not kneel at his a1tars, or participate in his sacraments, until he has made restitution of his i'll got ten goods. These are the teachings of our church-this is what the laying of this corner stone means for Strat- ford. Make men see and live up to these doctrines and you have done more for the permanency and growth of the nation than if you have strengthened the police force.
 ''This is what this church in Strat- ford means for Stratford Can we wonder then that men and women of all denominations have seconded F>ath- CT O'Connor's efforts and lent him a willing, helping hand
 The Central Labor union of Bridge port which had the largest delegation in line in the parade was headed by the Coast Artillery band.

O'Nei1, Ed ward Joy, Martin Kane, and James Dunn.

was forbidden to approach except when he had cast the shoes off his feet. The ark of the covenant and the tabernacle in the wilderness were holy, the temple of Solomon. on Mt. Morah was holy; but these spots were only types, figures, symbols Of the sacred temple of the new law, of the new dispensa tion.
 ITO the Catholics the church is a center of religious opportunities that will better and lift up their lives in this hoIp spot down the years that are to come; the saving waters of bap- itisIn will be poured out and the ef- feet will be to break the powers of the evil one, and to lift human souls to higher and nob1er life. Here minds will be illuminated and will be strengthened by the gifts of faith, hope and charity; men and women will be made in a special way children of God and heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven. Human thoughts and hu- man aims will be raised to higher things and pitched on nobler lines
 The speaker then went on to show how sin stained souls would lay aside this burden of weakness and frailty in the confessional. Then regretting the past like MagdaIen of old, par don and forgiveness would be impart- ed to them and they would be strengthened for brave deeds and mo- ble living in the future. The speaker next took up the question what does this church mean for Stratford, for Bridgeport, for the country.
 This Catholic church. he said, and the Catholic churches that dot the land in thousands, are the very bulwark of the nation, the strength of our country For the churches by their teaching stand for that which makes for our permanent growth. our enduring stability If the teachings that will be heard under this roof be carried out in mems lives then we shall be a safe and perm anent people
 Think for a moment of the dan gers that confront us today as a na- ton. First we have the spirit of class hatred, men born of the same soil ranged against each other. This hatred will take the form of blood shed-who can tell? Now the teach ings of the Catholic church is that a fair wage shall be paid, that the la borer shall not be cheated of his wages, shall not be ground down to a starving pittance in compensation for his toll-that the rich need be kind, charitable and sympathetic to the poor.
 'On the other hand the church striving to every legitimate means to secure his rights, may not have re- course to bloodshed and injustice and must submit to all lawful authority. We are a free people and we do not want the wild cry of anarchy to be heard in this land.
 Again is not the violation of the marriage tie an awful danger to the country; Is not divorce disrupting and breaking up the family? Yet the fam fly is the unit of the state, weaken it and you weaken the state. Now right here in this church the doctrine of the permanency of marriage will be preached and insisted upon. It will be taught here that no matter what obligation a man may be false to; no matter to what duty he may be re- creant; to the woman that he leads to the altar, to her he must be true from the moment the ring is put on her finger. then the crown of wife hood and motherhood may not be taken from her head and flung in the

Sound Graft In
 Peril As Gale
 Sweeps Waters

miniature typhoon that swept up Long Island Sound about 4:30 yester- day afternoon overturned small boats, threw passengers on larger craft into panic, blew out plate glass windows, uprooted trees and did much other damage on shore.
 While sailing about Burwell's Island off Woodmont, in an improvised sail boat, Frederick Mills, a Meriden gro- Ger, was caught by the gale. The bost capsized and MT. Mills and a companion were thrown into the water. the storm coming had been watching g the little craft from the beach. Sew eral started to the rescue in rowboats when the sai1boat overturned.
 Dr. B. T. Sharpe of Derby put out in a high-power launch. He found the men clinging to the overturned boat which was bottom up. He took them aboard and lowed their boat to erwin's point. The men were none the worse for their ducking and after reaching shore went to the cottage where they are staying at F'airview.
 The steamer Park City, caught in the storm, experienced consid derable difficulty in crossing from Port Jeffer- son on her return trip to this port yesterday afternoon. The steamer had breasted a choppy sea on the trip over. Just after the vessel left Port Jefferson on the trip back it came on to blow Captain Tooker thought the squall would pass up the Sound be- fore striking the ship but as the storm came on, it's area widened, and when it struck the steamer carreened for a moment. The passengers with few exceptions sought refuge in the sa- looms.
 The doors and matches on the low CT deck were all battened down. A heavy sea came with the wind and the waves broke over the bow deck of the steamer sending the spray flying up to the pilot house. A number of men and several women remained on the upper deck all through the blow and seemed to enjoy it although drenched to the skin by the spray.
 Several women passengers in the sa- Icons tainted and a number of men ard women were made sea sick. Cap- tai Tooker got the steamer headed in to the blow and kept her there until the storm passed when the rest of the trip was made to Bridgeport har- Dor without incident.
 The steamer Bridgeport leaving New York on her return trip ran into a heavy rain storm which drove her passengers into the saloons until the steamer was well out in the Sound The steamer followed the wake of the squall into Bridgeport.
 The wind blew out half a, big plate glass window in the Hawley Hard ware store in the Wheeler building in Main street. The window was crack ed by a recent fire in the store Frag- ments of the glass were scattered along the street for a distance of more than fifty feet north of the building. Bremen were called and they roped off the street while they took out the lower half of the glass which was swayfng perilously in the wind.
 Ty.z T. s.Pf ~sfx were blown down and in several places young trees uprooted. Tn the gar dens along Stratford avenue and the East End, sweet corn which has grown quite high was blown down and much damage done by the fierce wind.

PLAN TO IMPROVE
 PERSONNEL OF NAVY

Washington, July 14-Surgeon Gen. stokes has plan to improve the personnel of the commissioned officers of the navy by eliminating all those in the higher grades who are tempera- mentally unfit for naval service. In his recommendations the surgeon gem eraI insists something more than the ordinary physical test must be ap- piled to naval officers and that suc- cess at sea depends largely upon the temperamenta1 qualifications of the commander in chief. His recommenda- tions will be considered by Secretary Daniels.
