GOD KNOWS HOW TO RUN MEN. Rev. pr. Slocum Draws Lesson from
 the Flow of a Brook.

Brooks was the subject upon which Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, spoke at the shop talk held at the Cutlery plant at noon on Tuesday under the au- spices of the Y. M. c. A.
 Combining business and pleasure" said Rev. Dr. Slocum, q took stroll yesterday beyond the city limits. I crossed a bridge and looked down into hurry, but it did not. like Tennyson's brook, chatter as it flowed. It filled it's banks with volume as clear as crystal, and it hummed a little tune as it swept along on it's winding way through the meadow. It caught the blue of the sky and the shimmer of the sunlight, reflecting both. AS I looked and thought, there suddenly came to mind story of a brook that our old college professor told us. It was story that he had evidently built up to point lesson more important than any mere scientific information that he might present As nearly as I can re- call, the brook story ran something like this:
 "A brook dried up because no rains had fallen for long time. A com pany of men undertook to put that brook once more in operation. Along the seaShore they built vast distilleries so that salt water might be converted into fresh water fit for a brook. Then they laid tracks and ran trains from water up to the filltops along the course of the dried up brook The trainloadS of water were sent night and day for many weeks. Then one of the men visited the mouth of the brook where formerly, when the brook was operating by nature, a generous stream had shot into the sea. What was his surprise to find. after the vast outlay of time and money and millions of gallons of water, a mere drikble of water down in the bottom of the brook bed The man was :disgusted with the almost invisible results of a whole summers labor and the expenditure of a fortune. He took the next train for some distant point along the Mississip- pi and sat down to rest his tired brain. He looked with real satisfaction on the Father of Waters. Interested in fig ures, he estimated that the river he saw in front of him was drawing its volume from about a million and a quarter square miles and that every minute, while he was standing there, sixty million cubic feet of water rushed past him. He was deeply impressed. He went back home to think it over. He decided even before he reached that spot that God knows much more about running brook than man does.
 And God knows more about run always to put His knowledge at our disposal. If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God. The trouble with the most of us is we think we can get along without God. Men, I tell you God cares for you and wants to help partnership. Get Him to help you take care of yourself and your families. He'll do 1t, and you will find in Him a friend and brother and a Saviour.

Problems in Narcotic Law.

Deputy Collector of Internal Rev enue William H. Farrell at New Lon don had a problem put up to him Tuesday morning in connection with the anti-narcotic act which went into effect March 1, which he will pass on to headquarters for adjudication. The law provides that the full name of a physician prescribing 8 drug coming under this class and the full name of the purchaser shall be given to the druggist dispensing the article. The order or prescription must be signed by the physician.
 A druggist inq1iring of the initials of the physician would answer; that Is, if Dr. J. N. Jones would do or should it be Dr. John N. Jones? Of course in a small city every physician is known but in larger one it is differ ent and there might easily be two phy- sicians with the same last name and the same initials. More light is being awaited on the subject.

 Although the mayors talk was along extemporaneous lines it proved good logic to the large number in attend ance who felt honored at having him address them and he was accorded a rising vote of thanks for his excellent discourse.
 President Curran then introduced John T. Sullivan one of the most en- thusiastic members of the society, who gave a graphic description of Ireland its cities, towns, rivers and scenery and the grand part which the Irish soldiers played in the Civil war. He mentioned many anecdotes in the liz, of General Shields, whom he had heard at Breed hall. Following this he gave a Book Review of the Catechism in announcing the questions. of articles of faith from memory and answering the same. He electrified his hearers with his knowledge of religion which few pieces of Irish poetry, following which the society gave him a rising vote of thanks for his efforts
 Rev. John H. Fftzmaurice, chaplain of the society, was the next speaker and he comp1imented the two previous
 
 urged the members to be loyal to their church and to their country. A good Catholic is always faithful to his church and the community in which he lives and reflects that he is at all times fair in his dealings with others. He took the opportunity to remind Mayor Murphy that he took a just pride in the society, the members of which he had always found ready to aid him in his parish work. He also thanked NIr. Sullivan for his fine talk and the lesson to be derived from it by the members.
 It was one of the most successful meetings in the history of the society and much interest was taken in the programme, for which the literary committee were given rising vote of thanks President Curran announced that a plan was on foot to form a male choir among the members who will render the singing on the month ly communion days of the society. It is quite probable that the April meet ing will be in the form of a smoker at Pulaski hall

St. Mary's Holy Name Society.

SI. maryS T1oiy Nane Society'
 The monthly meeting of St Mazy's assembly rooms on Tuesday evening at S.15 with President Michael J. Curran in the chair. Much business was accomplished pertaining to the good of the society. The literary com mittee reported con their plans for a smoker, while the sick committee re- ported on cases of sickness amongst the members.
 The Lirerary committee reported for the evenings programme that His Honor Mayor Murphy had consented to address the society and when His Honor was introduced by President Curran, the society gave him an en- thusiastic greeting. The Mayors talk dwelt on "Reminiscences of Early Days-35 years ago when he was a student in the Sunday school-the very room in which he was addressing the members. He described the size of the assembly room and the church which was more than ample to meet the wants of the little band of Catho- lies then in town as the immigration from Ireland at that period was at a low ebb.
 He pictured the disadvantages of those days to the advantages of the present alone educational lines and the wonderful progress the church had made in Norwich, for which the pres ent generation should feel deeply grateful. He stated that we all should take a just pride in our city and state.
 He placed the office of governor of our state ahead of that of congress or a seat in the senate. for the two great parties were so closely united that it was only a question of the tariff which kept them from being as one-a ques-. tion which they had been tryir<g to solve for years. It was right and fit ting in many ways that there should be two parties, although the Catholic church remains neutral on this point and recognizes neither.
 He next brought forth the matter Of business ventures and what the signs of the times show in our larger cities. He advised the members to invest their money in a small way, for small beginnings make great endings He quoted examples of local men who had met with reverses and had come to the front again with the deterrnina- ton to succeed, ,
 He complimented the Holy Name society, locally. and throughout the land on the great work which is being done and urged the members to live up well to the high ideals of the society,

Weekly Lenten Services at St. Mary's Church-Rev. Paul c. keating De- Iivered Strong Sermon-Local Notes

The weekly Lenten service was held in St, Mary's church on Tuesday ev- ening at 7.3O o'clock, before a large congregation Rev. William H. Ken nedy conducted the offering of the holy rosary, following which came the ser mon delivered by Rev. Paul $. keat- ing of St. Mary's Church New London
 Fr. Heating took his listeners in spirit to the upper chamber in Je- rusalem and showed them Christ full filling His promise to His apostles that they should have His own flesh and blood which was to be their food. It was the beginning of a sacrifice that they could not understand, following which came his entrance to the Garden of Gethesemanae with His band of apostles, one of whom had shown his errand of treachery.
 His prayer at that time was a real battle between the humanity and di- vinfty of Christ. It was not sufficient to satisfy the infinite crimes of man against the justice of God, so He sends His only begotten Son-one ob- ject of this Son was that He was to be the victim for the sins of man. As He kneels in the garden He is God az well as man He, and He alone, can open the gates of heaven. He recites the sufferings which He must undergo on the morrow and He cries out, "I1 1t be possible let this chalice pass 1IQ1u H1y l1pS. It S6G111S GS IL IIlS 04N4- nity has left humanity to fight for it. self. He goes back to His apostles in the garden to seek some comfort and finds them asleep and leaves them to watch and pray lest tempta- tion come upon them. What an awful mental struggle it must have been with Satan at hand to test His hu- mantty and lay before Him the crimes and sins of man, for whom He was going to suffer. He seems crushed down as if He alone had com mitted all the sins of humanity. His face turns towards the father and re- quests not to put His humanity to such an awful test. The divine will if it is not possible they will, not mine, be done. In those words the sacrifice is completed, for He has willingly ac- cepted the great sacrifice.
 We are the ones He was concerned about in the Garden of Gethsemanae In kneeling in the garden each and every one of us, He asks us to con- fess our sins and do penance to attain the right to heaven.
 It was a very scholarly effort and the distinctness and choice language used edifed the congregation.
 Fr. Heating conducted benediction of the most blessed sacrament, hay- ing the assistance of Fr. Kennedy.
