GOD IS OFFERING MEN ANOTHER CHANGE.
Inspiring Address Given by Rev. pr.
 SIeeun at Shop Meeting.

Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum addressed tie shop meeting held Friday noon at the Crescent Arms company under the pices of the Y. NJ. C. A. Another Chance was his subject, and in part he said:
 Sir Charles Napier was one of the most remarkable military men of his time. As general of the British forces he conducted campaigns of great bril- liancy in India. One day panic broke out among his troops and one poor fellow, almost dead from fear was caught sneaking to the rear But in spite of the cowardice of this one soldier. the battle was won. General Napier himself came up just then and heard the story of the condemned man. The general, evidently flushed with the joy of victory, stopped fhe soldiers who were about to shoot the culprit and ordered that he be given another chance. Accordingly, he was given another chance and proved him. self to be 8 brave man.
 l cannot help thinking that there are a great many cases of just that sort of thing in our everyday life There is many a man who learns his lesson when he makes his first big mistake. If he had another chance he would win out. The trouble is he does not always get the second chance.
 But I want to talk to you about one who always gives second chance. He gives as many chances as may be nec- essary to get the man on his feet. His uatfence is infinite. Long after we have given up trying to help our fel low men He will try to influence the discouraged, panic stricken soul with one more opportunity of becoming sue cessful.
 The speaker instanced the way Jesus treated Peter as characteristic of this attitude to give man another chance. Jesus is all the time giving people an other chance. Isn't it q pity that men will take so many chances at the game of chance and deliberately refuse to improve the one best opportunity they have =
 - men. you are taking fearful chances for eternal life. The Bible

WILL INSPECT SITE FOR
 MYSTIC POSTOFFICE.
Agent for Government Architect Com ing-Mahan Wants Change at Put nam.

Washington, April 3.-Sites offered to the government for new public buildings at Branford and Mystic, Conn, will soon be inspected by an agent of the supervising architect The purchase of sites in these places was authorized by congress a year or more ago, but funds were not made avail able for the purpose until comparative ly recently. A number of sites have been offered for new buildings in the Connecticut cities. These will be in- spected, and reported upon by Bram- well Davis, site agent of the treasury department. It is said he will prob ably leave Washington for New Eng land in about ten days.
 It is stated at the treasury depart ment that Representative Mahan of Connecticut is making an effort to have the site selected for the govern ment building at Putnam, Conn, changed. A site was selected, bought and paid for some time ago at Put nam, and the supervising architect was about to begin the preparation of plans for the building to go on the site. Then MT. Mahan demanded that the site be changed and another se- leCted, according to statements of the treasury officials. They took the po sition that they had no authority to sell or exchange the site now owned by the government at Putnam. Legis- lation is necessary before the depart ment will have such authority, it is
 - high treasury officials. Meanwhile. = .r----eSt from Put nam has reaCheu A. S>S . jecting to any change in the site. he protestants are satisfied with the pres ent site. If MT. Mahan wants to carry his point, it is said at the depart ment that he must obtain congression- al sanction for the suggested change, either by selling the present site or ex- changing it for another. No public building bill is expected to be passed before next December. but possibly a, special provision might be inserted in some general appropriation bill or other measure authorizing the change advocated by Mahan.

declares that whosoever believes on the Son of God has eternal life and has it now, as we'll as forever. AnG that word believe means more than mere assent; it means personal sur render to and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Master. The same word of God makes it equally clear that they who do not believe and who thus refuse to accept Jesus cannot have eternal life. Which chance will you take? For what shall it profit & man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" And, alas, a man can't bribe the doorkeeper to let his soul pass through
