The Eve,1;,,g Ch;t-Chat

rectly. you dwelt On the inability to
account for alien thoughts, or memory
pictures flashing through our brain.
Thinking that 1t may interest you,
I am sending you copy of a little
poem taken from an issue of the Mes
senger of Peace, which struck me as a
new way to deal with these thought
waves"
The poem reads:
Pray One for Another.
(James, 6:16)
II cannot tell why there should come
to me
A thought of some one miles and
miles away,
In swift iRsistence on the memory,
Unless a need there be that should
pray.
"Too hurried oft are we to spare the
thought,
For days together. Of some friends
away;
Perhaps God does It for us, and we
ought
To read his signal as a call to pray.
Perhaps. just then, my friend has
fiercer fight
And more appalling weakness, and
decay
OF courage, darkness, some lost sense
of right;
And so in case he needs my prayer,
pray.
Friend, do the same for me. II I in
trude
Unasked upon you, on some crowded
day,
Give me moments prayer as inter-
lude;
Be very sure need it, therefore pray
Marianne birmingham"
When we consider that a reverent
look heavenward, a thought-God bless
my friend-constitute a prayer. does Il
not seem little thing to ask that we
pray when all unexpectedly and with,
out any apparent reason some far dis
tant friend or enemy perhaps intrudes
on us in thought?

Is out OF the question, I'm
going to give you extracts from two or
three of them today
\ In answer to my article on profanity
a letter friend writes me beautiful
letter, saying that he has made up his

adds something about habits which Is
decidedly worth passing on.
I'VE make our habits through

the way-of my swearing with the other
boys. / found l could swear anywhere
but in the presence OF my parents and
not get whipped. So / became pro-
fessional and my parents never knew
it until l was full grown young man.
II found that my teaching was
wrong, so l took different course
with my children. l taught them the
degrading part in everything. l never
told them they mustn't do anything be-
cause I would whip them, but because

 Thursday when the case of Beau chemin came to trial, Attorney F. J. Danahey of Willimantic representing the accused, it soon became clear that Beauchemin's defence was to be his claim that he was not a party to the thieving at the Dixon place with in- tent; that he had been engaged to furnish his team to transport some household goods and that, as far as he knew, the mission was a perfectly le- gitimate one, as represented to him by Lapointe.

f William Brissett was arrested at the railroad station Thursday morning where he went to meet his wife in re- sponse to a letter he had received from her from Woonsocket about ten minutes before the train arrived.

He did. not take his wife and two small children with him but left them destitute in Woonsocket. The Captain was requested to apprehend Brissett. After searching the city he informed the Woonsocket police that he could not locate their man.
 Wednesday another letter was ie- ceived stating that a letter had been written by Brissett's wife to him telling him to meet her at the 9:27 train dressed in white shirtwatst, gray skirt, and hat trimmed with red and that if a man met her it would be the man wanted.
 Captain Murray called at the post office a half hour before the train ar rived and found that the letter had not been called for but shortly before the train came in Brissett got his 1eeu ol uoIlels eq1 le seM puB IreW his wife. No sooner had the young woman reached the station platform that she was greeted by her husband and he in turn was greeted by the Captain.
