GOING TO NEW CANAAN.
Rev. J. H. StaPIeton Leaves, Much to
 Regret of His Parishioners.

It was with deep regret that the parishioners of Sacred Heart church, Taftville, received the announcement on Sunday last at all masses from their pastor, Rev. John H. Stapleton, that he was about to leave them. He explained that owing to i'll health. and acting on the advice of his physician, he was obliged to take a change of air and seek another climate, with the hope of his health being benefited by the change.
 About two and one half years ago Father Stapleton came to TaftvilIe as pastor of Sacred Heart church, suc- ceeding Rev. Arthur O'Keefe. During his stay here, owing to his genial and kindly manner, he gained many warm friends who sincerely mourn his de- parture, and it is to be regretted in- deed that his stay among them was so short.
 Father Stap1eton left Wednesday for his home in Shelton, Conn, where he will be located for several days, and will then take up his new duties as pastor of St. Aloysius' church, New Canaan. The best wishes of his friends

Norman SouIes Receives License as Wireless Operator-Passed All Ex- arninations

Norman E.. Soules of Hickory street claims the honor of being the first person in the city of Norwich to re- ceiVe a license as an amateur wire less operator. MT. Soules has success fully passed all examinations relative to the erection, care and operation of a wireless outfit and he received his license on Friday The license gives him the right to transmit wireless message outside the state. Hereto fore he was not allowed to send any messages beyond the boundary lines of the state, and the new privilege will greatly facilitate his experimental work. He has one of the best equip
 ped wireless stations in this vicinity and has been very successful in the science. With the present power of his instruments he is able to send mes sages for a distance of 50 miles or over and may possibly be able to talk with Boston. He has already talked with Willimantic operator and now that he has his license is going to try and talk with Westerly, R. l., and possibly sound steamers. MT. Soules uses the continental code, which code is used by many steamers and land stations. Although his sending power is limited to less than 100 miles. his receiving power is much greater as he has heard stations all along the coast as far south as Key West distant from here about 1000 miles It is no uncommon occurrence for him to hear steamers far out at sea talking with each other or with some naval station.

CHRISTIANITY IN ONWARD
 SWEEP THROUGH WORLE
Still a Vital Force-lts Power Not
 Spent.

Christianity Vital Force in the World was the subject of the address by Rev. George H. Strouse of the First Baptist church at the Y NJ. CA. meeting at the Hopkins & Allen plant Friday noon. He said in part:
 The Christian who believes in the old doctrines-salvation through Je- sus, the coming of Christ, the end of the world, heaven for the good and a place of torment for the wicked-is regarded as ancient. The man who takes broad survey of life-believes we are all divine and at last we shall all go sweeping through the gates of the New Jerusalem, he is considered progressive and modern The ad- vanced thinker claims that science and philosophy are far more potent in the world than Christianity. Let me as sure you that true science and the philosophy are in harmony with the religion of Jesus Christ. The wave of liberal theology sweeping over the land a few years ago is receding No theologian or church can make men, who will think, believe that any kind of life here will please God and then at last each one be presented with a free transportation ticket to the Realms of Glory.
 We hear little that Christianity never was a force in the world but that it has spent it's force. Facts do not justify this statement. Christian 1ty is great wave, increasing in force and volume in it's onward sweep, blessing, purifying. and transforming everything it touches. It still has wondrous power for all those who come under it's influence. Thousands today are putting it to the test and speak most enthusiastically of it's mer- it's We find it a comfort in sorrow, a balm for the broken heart; an inspIra- tion to meet the struggles of life; a stimulus to all that is pure and good; a blessed hope for this life and that to come. If Christianity does all this for us, it is no failure. It did wonders in the first century but the twentieth century shows a worthy parallel.
 Will you embrace it? Men, get up on this gigantic wave and it will sweep you on to the eternal shore-that place we love to read and sing about. Tn my Fathers house are many man. sions; if it were not so, I would have told you: I go to prepare a place for you.''
