EXPRESSIONS ON DEATH
 OF FIX MAYOR THAYER
A Real Leader.

In the death of Charles F. Thayer of Norwich that city and Connecti- cut as well loses a faithful son and
 an able, independent, conscientious citizen who had the courage of his convictions, the capacity to fight for them, and the disposition to work for the public welfare. Thanks to him Norwich is one of the most pro- gressive cities in New England in some important respects, and one far more widely known than most
 others of her population. Charles Thayer enjoyed political life and strife and was not afraid of new ideas, even though they were for the moment un- popular or of a character to give the tlmid and the time-ServerS a fright. He believed in municipal ownership of public utilities and he secured for his city the electric light and gas en- terprises, and other reforms As a candidate for governor and an aspir- ant for the U. s. Senatorship he said many original things, and gave utter ance to truths that hit hard in many quarterS-so hard in fact that his selection was thereby made imposSi- ble. Those who were then disturbed have since seen that he was right
 that he was actuated by a genuine de-
 sire to serve the people and advance their interests, that he was honest and capable, that he was a real leader
 That sort of a man is never toe com mon. They are comparatively rare in public life. He stands out in strong, distinct relief from the usual politi- elan. His was an excellent working combination of intelligence courage, knowledge of the needs of the people, honesty and fidelity to principles, and a temperament that fitted him to en- sage in the rough hurly- -burly of the political arena. It is sad indeed that his useful activity is stilled, and that his interesting personality has van ished. But 1t is a satisfaction to re- member that while he lived he was a force, a strong and helpful factor in C airs, and used his talents for the C. nmon good-Bristol Press.

Charles F. Thayer.

Ten years ago Charles F. Thayer was one of Connecticuts prominent citizens. As democratic mayor of re- publican Norwich for several terms he hurled back all contestants for his title until he matched swords with Costello Lippitt, later state treasurer and was overthrown. Since that time he had been in eclipse political ly, although he made a half-hearted effort in connection with the United States senatorial election in 1911, his letters to the people in that cam paign having been an interesting picture of Connecticut politics as he knew them.
 MT. Thayers' most notable achieve ment in Norwich was to secure for the municipality ownership of the privately owned gas and electric franchises. Norwich was one of Con- necticut's pioneers in the matter of municipal ownership and the move made MT. Thayer enemies as well as friends. Norwich citizens are not yet unanimous as to whether they bought golden eggs or goose eggs when they went into the lighting and power business, but the fact remains that figures from Norwich are often quoted in support of the theory of municipal ownership.
 MT. Thayer had served in the leg islature and had been his party's can didate for governor. He observed public and political affairs shrewdly and intelligently and had the faculty of dissecting so that others could see the inner workings. He was one of Connecticut'S most interesting citi- zenS. Hartford Post.

MORE OF SYMPATHY
 FOR THE SINNER.
Lesson Drawn by Speaker at Y. M. c. A. Meeting.

What Jesus Wrote on the Sand, was the subject of the talk given, by Rev. Joel B. SIocurn, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church on Sunday afternoon at the mems meeting in the Y. M. c. A. parlors. The meeting was led by General Secretary Edwin Hill and after the opening hymns AL exander Ferguson offered prayer. In his opening words Rev. Dr. Slo- cum said that although we do not know for a certainty what Jesus wrote on the sand, yet we could use our i'm aginations profitably regarding the writing. Dr. Slocun said that trap had been laid for Jesus that He might be accused. A group of men brought before Him 8 woman charged with adultery and questioned Him concern ing her punishment The law of Moses called for death by stoning. If Jesus ordered her to be stoned then His enemies would have complained to their ruler that Jesus had advised the people to take the matter of capital punishment into their own hans. If He said she ought not be stoned then he would have broken the law. Of Moses.
 Ignoring entirely the insistant clam bring of these men He stopped eve oyer and began writing on the sand. Then He stood up and said. "Now that man who among you Is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her. Then lie resumed His writing. He first wrote a name and a man in the crowd rec ognized it that name, widow whom he had robbed and be filed out Jesus kept on writing and there ap- peared the name of a girl. Another man in the crowd recognized in that name a girl he had ruined and he, too, left the crowd Continuing Dr. Slocum told of how the remaining men in the crowd one by one departed as their names appeared on the sand until there was left the woman and Jesus. He spoke, not words of harshness, but words of pity: Where art thy acc cusers? Hath no man condemned thee?" She answered, May Lord," Neither do I, He said, go and sin, no more"
 In closing Dr. Slocum said we should sympathize with those who have sin ned Don't knock them down deeper into the sin but try to uplift them
 Secretary Hill announced that the indoor meetings will continue throuh out May and that plans are b6ng made to start the open air meetings in June. The Tuesday evening Bible study class will also meet as usual thiS month.

"BE SLOW TO ANGER"
Over Thousand Parishioners at St. Patrick's Church Hear Practical Sermon by the Rector.

And let every man be quick to anger" words taken from the epistle for the fourth Sunday after Easter, James I. 17-21, formed the text for a practical instruction for a congrega- ton of over a, thousand, at 6he 7.30 mass in St. Patricl1's church on Sun day. The preacher was the rector, Rev. John H. Frederick. Two socie- ties of the parish, the Young Ladies' society and the Sodality of the Im- maculate Conception, were among the large number VITO received holy com munion from Rev. Father Frederick and his assistant, Rev. Francis J. Muster.
 The evil effects of the sim of anger in every age, since first Cain, in jealousy, was led by it to commit murder, were noted by the speaker God punished Cain and so, God punished even the great leader, Moses, because he gave way to anger, wroth because his prayer was not answer ed immediately. To pena1ize him, he was prevented from reaching the goal of his labors and hopes, and was not permitted to enter the Promised Land.
 Anger causes people to commit would be tempted to commit until urged by it's evil impulses; they curse and swear, quarrel and are led to in numerable misdeeds. The advice of St. James to the early Christians is equally applicable to men today: Brethren, be quick to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger.

ROBERT A. BROWN
 TAKES NEW POSITION
As General Manager of Lumber Com
 pany at Dover, N. H.

The Dover, N. H., Daily Democrat has the following to say of former Norwich boy:
 Robert A. Brown, for nearly three years general manager of the clerical department of the N. B. Thayer shoe factory, has rendered his resignation, the same to be effective May l, he having accepted position of general manager of the William H. Champlin lumber and box mill, both mill and of- fee, and will assist MT. Champlan in an executive capacity. Since MT. Brown came to the N. B. Thayer com- pany, succeeding MT. Marion of Phila- delphia, there have been additions to the clerical force occasioned by the in creased production and enlarged busi- ness. He has both the confidence of his employer and employe and their relations have been very harmonious in every respect, hence MT. Browns decision in severing his official rela- tions is regretted by everyone. How ever, what is generally one concerns s loss is another's gain, hence MT. Champlin has succeeded in getting a very energetic young man, with plenty of push and energy, and one thorough ly conversant with modern ideas in clerical management and work. Ev- eryone extends to MT. Brown their best wishes of success in his new field of labor. His successor has not yet been selected.
