Many are so full of business and clubs and innocent pleasures there is no room for Christ Right things wrongly used is the trouble. Many are not lost be- cause they choose bad things. but be- cause they choose good things instead of the best Smile Whenever You Can was sung by the children.
 In the auditorium at p. m there was a gathering of several hundred. Rev. Frank Chamberlain of Eastford prayed. The offering was taken. Miss Hotchkiss Of Meriden sang Come Unte Me. accompanied on the organ by E. M. Wheeler The sermon was preached by Rev. A. E. Legg of Danielson. The Mission of Jesus was his subject, and the text was John x. 10. 'T am come that they might have life. and that they might have 1t more abundantiy. Christ's sole mission was to bring life to man, dead in trespasses and sin, by revealing the heart of the Father. Sin Is the great waster of life. It was not the mind of God Christ came to reveal. Men find it's workings in creation by study. But we find Gods heart only as Jesus reveals it to us. A thousand problems may be left unexplained. but Jesus will open your heart if you let him and give you vision of the F'a- ther.

Upon one occasion I saw Senator
John Sherman Of Ohio give way to q
burst Of merriment which almost lit
orally caused his face to be wreathed
IN smiles and his body to shake with
his unsuppressed emotion. IL was
the only time that ever saw Senator
sherman while he was In the senate
chamber with any other expression
on bis countenance than that which
oetokened perfect composure or deep
thinking. The Senator was not as
serious minded a person as many
thought him to be. He had a keen
sense OF humor. but he rarely made
mat evident 10 others by anything
more than a faint smile.
The occasion was during a debate
upon the tariff bill which was before
the United States senate In 1882.
senator Sherman objected TO a prop
osition smacking OF demosogy' lie
thought IL absurd that all other
stamp taxes were to be eliminated
by the bill excepting the trifiing
stamp tax upon playing Gals. He
said the total tax yielded only about
Two thousand dollars and the propo-
siton 10 maintain II in the new bill
was. Senator Sherman thought made
simply for the purpose OF appealing
10 an element which looked upon the
playing OF cards as harmful. even
sinful.
Behind the row OF seats in which
the desk OF Senator Sherman was
placed. Senator Vance of North Caro-
lima. had seated himself. II I recoliect
correctly. in the chair allotted to Sem
ator Harry L. Dawes, OF Massachu-
sets. As soon as Senator Sherman
finished his brief remarks. the North
carolina Senator arose. Every Sena-
tor who vas in the chamber seemed
70 be instantly conscious that Senator
Vance was TO give full play TO his sense
OF numor. his capacity for wit and
kindly satirical comment. sherman
himself seemed to have that under
standing. for he wheeled around in
