JEWETT CITY PASTOR AT
 Y. M. C. A. MEETING
Rev. Samuel Thatcher Addressed Gathering of Men in Thayer Building

There was a good attendance at the
 men's rally yesterday at 3.3o o'clock
 in the Thayer store.
 After spirited song service and
 the reading of Scripture and prayer
 a cornet solo was rendered by John
 M. Swahn.
 The address of the afternoon was delivered by Rev. Samuel Thatcher of ,Tewett City who held the close atten- tion of the entire audience He se- lected his text from Isaiah 67th chap ter, 10th verse: And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering into the Lord out of ali nations, upon
 horses and in chariots, and in filters and upon mules and dpon swift beasts to my holy mountain"
 The speaker said in part: ''The kingdom of God is divided into regi- ments just as the army of the United States and we have in the text 8. Sug- | geStiOn of the various regiments For | instance those who are mentioned in | the text as riding on horses may be called the cavalry regiment and they suggest to us those who are active in | the service then there are those who | ride in chariots and these are i'm mune; they are hard to get at as they are well protected by body guards and shields and too often they represent those who have grown up in Chris 1 tian home and therefore know not the awful temptations which assail many l other men and they are not sympa- thetic with the fellow who is fighting 1 against great odds.
 | The text speaks of some who are | carried on liters and these are of the number whom the church is carrying l like a dead weight, those who are will ] ing to have others do all the work of l the kingdom; I advise these to trans | fer to another regiment
 I note the text speaks of some who
 are in the mule regiment and probably most of us are in this class. Mules are oftimes stubborn but af- l ter all they CHb things. and I had much l rather have helpers who are not afraid of service even though they kick over the traces at times than to have to depend on either the chariot or litter | regiments.
 The lRst regiment mentioned is that | suggested by the swift beast. When | D. L. Moody dedicated his life to God | he joined this regiment and hurried up
 and down this country. winning souls l to Jesus Christ.
 Billy Sunday is also a member of 1 this regiment and he is so swift in his splendid service for the King that we | S-Ilow his success with amaZement. Thank God for the swift regiment! | I sincerely hope that every man here will identify himself actively with
 some aggressive regiment in Gods great army.

HEARTLESS DRIVER LEAVES
 INJURED BY ROADSIDE
Two Lie in Serious Condition at the
 Backus Hospital.

Charles Simpson, 19 years of age and William O'Brien, about 20 years of age, were struck on the Fitchvil1e road between and 6.25 o'clock Sun day night by a passing automobile and left in agony by the roadside by the heartless driver of the machine The young men were picked up ty a man named Thomas, a Lebanon resident, who passed by in a Hudson, and who took them to the Backus hospital Simpson has a fractured skull three broken ribs and other serious injuries and it was said Sunday night that his case is hopeless. O'Brien is not so badly injured and will probably re- cover.
 As far as known, no one saw the machine when it hit the young men, and the driver, too cowardIy to face the consequences, kept on his way. Around the spot where the injured men were found was a quantity of glass presumably from smashed head light.
 Sheriff George $. Stanton and Med ical Examiner c. c. GildersIeeve went to the spot where the accident occurred in an endeavoT to learn the identity Of the driver of the machine which struck the young men. From the po- S1t1on in which the young men were found it appeared as if the machine was going towards Fitchvilie. They
 were headed he same way. Simpson naVlng left his home at Yantic just a few minutes before.
 Learning that Mr. Thompson had picked the men up and taken them to the hospital in this city, Sheriff Stan ton and Dr. Gildersleeve went to his home in Lebanon. MT. Thompson said that he had been to Chicopee Falls during the day, had stopped at Hart ford on the way back, and was bring ing a Hudson home when he saw the bodies in the road, stopped and brought them on to the hospital. He saw one machine ahead of him turn out and pass by the injured men.
 MT. Thompson said ne knew noth- ing of the accident. The machine which he was driving had a bent fen der and a smashed headlight Both Sheriff Stanton and Dr. GiIdersleeve looked the car over and were satis- fled that it was not the Hudson that struck the men. The bend in the fen der was rusted, which showed that it was old, and the glass in the road did not correspond with the glass in the headlight. MT. Simpson, although he had partially recovered his senses Sunday night, was unable to tell how the accident happened All he could remember was that he was walking along the road with his com panion.
