Faith

A mans faith in himself is his most
exclusive possession.
While it may be quite true that faith
will move mountains, it is also quite
true that it will move an automobile
or creditor.
Those men who try faith instead Of
elbow grease, know a great deal more
about rubber heels than rubber tires.
A baby keeps it's faith in mankind
until someone comes in late with it's
bottle.
When the average human reaches
the age of thirty, his faith in others
is about as life like as stuffed fish.
We read a great deal of "child like
faith"-yet most children hide their
treasures in the darkest corner of the
attic.
Mans faith in the other chap is in
indirect ratio to the size of the divi-
dends paid by the paddock and bond
ing companies.
And yet, but for faith, the subway
and the wooden streets of New York
City would be about as popular as a
fertilizer plant.
Preachers who can speak most pow
erfully on the subject of faith. can
also speak most powerfully on the
subject of having their contracts as 10
remuneration signed in advance.
Faith is such a scarce article that
any man, who possesses a fair amount
of it, is apt to find that his friends
have applied to the courts for the ap-
pointment of a committee to take care
of his property.-From Judge.

NO CHANGE REPORTED
 IN STRIKE SITUATION
Rrickmakcrs Assert the Owners Will Grant Demands, But Latter
 Remain Silent on Issue.

The strike situation in the Berlin Orickyards remains the same today. As stated in the Herald Saturday, the strikers have formulated their demands but the brick manufactur- CTS are reticent as to what action will be taken The strikers met yester- day in a Beckley lot and listened to five speakers who are said to have come from Hartford. A committee of three was appointed after the meeting to confer with the owners, but this had not been done up to a late hour this afternoon. The feel ing among the strikers is that the owners will give in by Wednesday, the limit set in the ultimatum de- livered according to the notice printed and spread broadcast Satur- day by the strikers. It could not be learned from the manufacturers whether they had received copies as all maintained silence on the matter.
 The strikers are acting in a quiet manner, only a few slight distur- bances being made since last week They seem determined to gain thelr roint and many of them are planning to leave for other fields unless the matter is amicably settled by We'd nesdey. They began to gather on the green in Kensington this morning about 10 o'clock and it is said they were preparing to march to New fields where the Futile plant was re- ported to be in operation. Some of the men were positive that no union would be formed, the men simply sticking together on this question. Deputies are still on guard at some of the yards, but no arrests have been made.
 First Selectman William H. Gibney interviewed Sheriff Dewey in Hart ford this morning and the latter promised to send more deputies if needed,

DEVIL DRIVEN FROM
 EPISCOPAL SERVICE
Word "Sin" SubStituted-M riage Ceremony Is to Be Changed

Saratoga Springs, x. Y, May S. A service for the burial of children and their reception into the church is> proposed in a revised ritual of the Methodist Episcopal church, which was submitted today for action by the general conference in session here. Previously only a ceremony for adults has existed.
 The report was offered by a spe- cial committee appointed in 1912 and is the third proposal recently made for a change in the form of services provided by John Wesley when he instituted the church in 1739. The argument was advanced during discussion today that a modi- fication of the wording is necessary to secure consistency of usage and greater clearness and brevity. Oppo- sition was based on the ground that the language of the present ritual had been made sacred by continued use.
 s BaptismaI Service Shortened.
 The new form outlined by the com mittee provides that the service for the baptism of infants and for ordin- ation shall be greatly shortened. The burial service would be modified by the insertion of additional scriptural selections for the purpose of giving fuller expressions of the Christian hope as found in the new testament. In the marriage ceremony it is pro- vided that when the ring is used the words 'and with all my worldly goods I thee endow' shall be omitted for the, reason, the committee reported, that the ceremony itself implies com mon ownership of property.
 It is also proposed that the word "devir' shall be stricken from pass ages where it occurs and that tho word sin shall be substituted. The phrase "the trumpet shall sound and the dead be raised" would bo eliminated, on the ground that it means the resurrection of the spirit and not of the body. The same reason is advanced for substituting in the burial service the twenty-third Psalm for the thirty ninth Psalm.
 The committee reported that a de- sire not to lengthen the ritual led to the rejection of proposals for scr- vices for special purposes

Pittsburgh, May 8--Efforts of the Westinghouse companies to reopen their plants in the Turtle Creek Val ley where a strike for the eight-hout day has been in progress for several weeks, were only partly successful to- day.

All employees of this, company will be paid today, and as each man is handed his envelope he will be compelled to surrender his check.
