SON OF GOD
 WAS THE MODEL MAN. Rev. Dr. Siocun Says We Need a Perfect Model in Our Lives.

The Model Man was the topic upon which Rev. Joel B. Slocun, D. D., spoke at the Y. M. c. A. shop talk at noon on Friday at the plant of the Crescent Fire Arms company. q was very much interested recently, said the speaker, lin visiting a room in this plant where the gun stocks are turned out, 1 noticed that on one side of the lathe there was a model or pattern stock which kept revolving. In constant contrast with this revolving model was a mechanism which con- tatned at one end a small wheel whose business 1t was to traverse the entire surface of the model and to re- produce ata it's other extremity all the impressions that were made upon it by the model. By and by the operator at that machine took out the stock and To, it was an exact reproduction in size and shape of the model. Then the man put in another roughly outlined piece of wood and the same process was repeated, and that, in turn, came out fashioned like unto the model
 It occurred to me as looked at that machine that a. great deal depends on the model. But not only so, there is considerable responsibility upon the delicate machine that transfers the outlines of the model of the piece of wood. Then too the wood itself is held accountable. The first stock that was taken out during my observation was thrown aside. I was surprised until the operator called my attention to a flaw that at first I had not mo- ticed.
 We need a perfect model. Nothing else will do. Even with a perfect pat tern there will always be inperfec- tions due to the fact that sin in our life. But it is encouraging to know that there was once a man who was perfect and who has stood in all these centuries since. He lived on earth as a, model for all other men.
 It is anly by keeping in contact with Jesus that we will be able to have re- produce in our own lives some of the peTfections that belong to Him. There is Q lot of poor material in 1u- manity and that will find it's own place. It will be cast aside into the great rubbish heap. But 1t is also true that there is a lot of good in human life-good that will be touched by the great Master into forms of beauty and into graces of character.
 Choose Him for your model and don't lose the connection between yourself and Him. He will amend the imperfection and carry the work up to it's glorious completion.

Robert Wilson Broke Through Ice.


 |" While testing the ice for his partner Robert Wilson fell in the Shetucket river near the icehouse and narrowly escaped drowning Friday af- ternon. Wilson and Robert Walker were skating along and Theo- dore Greenhalgh wanted to join them and, not knowing how to get out on to the safe ice, as the ice near the shore was not very strong, he called to Wilson, who showed Greenhalgh> a strong spot according to his estimation, but Teddy did not think so. To con vince the man on the shore Wilson started cutting circles, jumping and other pranks. All of sudden the ice broke, sending him into the icy waters He tried five or six times to climb on to the ice again, but each time his attempts were useless, as the ice mere ly crumbled under his weight Will with the help of Walker and Green with the help of Walter and Green halgh, who formed a human chain, with the aid of a hockey stick, the water soaked. frightened young man was pulled ashore and saved from a watery lave. After the daring res- cue, MT. Wilson, who was very much frightened, said to his heroes: Much obliged"
