.kEw HAVEN PREACHER
AT MT. CAVALRY CHURCH.

sermonN at Sunday Evening Ser

At Mt Cavalry Baptist church on
Sunday evening aA stirring sermon on
Rest After Labor was delivered by
Rev. s. n. wiIIiamseof New Haven As
HIS text. Rev. Mr.. Williams took the
31st verse Of the 9Th chapter of Mark
And He said unto them. Come we
yourselves APART into a desert place
to rest a. while.
We may labor physically, mentally.
intellectually or spiritually, said Rev.
Mr.. Williams. II we labor lin any Of
these ways we will surely need rest
In defining nest Rev Mr.. Williams
said IL is the nGfardA of labor and IS
complete relaxation. The heart rests
when WEI are quiet and the mind rests
when the heart enjoys peace. Sleep is
considered the most vital requirement
OF complete rest
Spiritual rest comes after spiritual
labor and is the Nrest that remains for
the people OF God. Said Rev. Mr.. Will
Jams. He then went on to quote a
number OF Bibiical selections where

The greatest sin in the world is
scandal, said Father George, a Boston
Passionist priest, at st. Patrick's
church before very large congrega-
ton Sunday evening. Rev. Myles P.
Calvin sang vespers, and the full choir
of the church rendered vesper music.
You have been told of the great OBJ
etacle, mortal evil, and of how God
has showed the malice of this great
evil upon the angels, upon man in the
Garden of Eden, said Father George.
Tonight I am going to tell you the
greatest sin in the world. If I were
to ask what you considered the great
est sin in the world, there would I'M
doubleday be some hesitation. Some
perhaps would say intemperance, 9TH
ers impurity, others injustice, still
others dishonesty. and so on. Yet
say that none of these can be consid-
cred as the greatest sin in the world.
The greatest sin in the world is scan
Christ, Woe to the world because of
scandal. Woe to the man because of
scandal.
Therefore tonight I am going to
consider the various ways scandal is
committed. Let US consider it with
gravity. What is scandal? Scandal
is sinful words or sinful actions which
lead others into sin. Apply this to any
action and you can tell if it is sinful
an dscandalous. There are two ways
to commit scandal, and one is by
words. We need not enumerate the
scope Of scandal. Figure out yourself,
II you can, the number of sins COM
mitted in this city in a single day.
Then go still further. Imagine the
number of sins committed in the state
of Connecticut during one single day.
Go on to a wider field and consider the
amount of sin committed in the United
States in one single day. If possible,
go on and imagine how innumerable
the sins of the world must be in one
day. Add the days, the weeks, the
months, the years, the centuries, and
then you can imagine the numerous
sins committed by the tongue
Father George told of how a man
curses and swears in the presence OF
others. He is guilty of scandal by his
language and conduct. Men are con-
tinually using bad language. telling
smutty and dirty stories, sowing seeds
of scandal in the hearts of their listen
ers.
There is tremendous amount of evil
along this lire, in the home, in the Of
flee and in the factory. Wherever peO-
pie meet and congregate you will hear
immoral stories. Some people take a
delight in spreading vile and impure
stories. Consider the people who give
out evil and vile advice of how they
commit injustice in business and how
they comment wrongly on married life
and the rearing of children, lowering
the standard of marriage. They are
! committing scandal.
Again, consider those who blasphemt
| God, talk about religion in a disre-
| spectful way, criticize the priests, the
pope and bishops. They are commit
| ting scandal. Those who listen to such

HEARD NOTED VIoLINIST
AT Y. M. C. A. MEETING
Elmer Crawford Adams Was Special
Attraction at. Mems Mass Meeting.


Harmony was the subject of Cen
meeting for men held in the Thayer
building, Sunday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Amos A. Browning, n former pres

the meeting and James L. Case, the
present president, led the singing. FL
mer Crawford Adams, violinist, IA
vored with a number of beautiful Sc
lections and was accompanied by
Gales Noyes.
After hearing such sweet and har-
monious music just rendered by Mr..
Adams on the violin it makes me think
of story I once heard, said Secre-
tary Hill. A large orchestra was as
sembled for practice and were playing
along nicely. Suddenly in the midst
of the music, the master said, Stop.
Everyone obeyed and on inquiry as to
the reason for stopping they learned
that the master had discovered that
one instrument in the rear of the hall
was out of tune and not playing har-
! monious. He felt something wrong
thing wrong in our lives when it fails
i to fit or harmonic.
In nature we find harmony. We
| have perhaps been complaining of
snow. We awaken in the morning
and find snow on the ground and we
make the remark, What, another snow
storm? Did you ever stop to think

| derful and peculiar powers of God. He
only knows, the dirty, muddy drop of
water found in the gutter is evapo-
rated and later falls as the white snow
| flake.
We look out at the beautiful green
| trees, the mountains, the valleys and
| rivers and how can we think that
| there is no God? All nature is work

we are thrilled.
We think of the war In Europe
caused by discords in life. We think
ourselves here in a peaceful nation
| free from discords. There are dis
cords in this nation of ours. Discords
in nation life and all over this land
Yes, discords in politics, capital and
| labor. There is no greater discort
right here m our own town than the
| saloons, the rum which is crushins
out manhood in many cases, causins
children and women to go hungry
| Then there is the discord of impurity
Someone has remarked that wher,
rum has slain it's thousands, impurity
has slain it's ten thousands. The trou
BILE in this world is that many of III

RECOMMENDS LIFTING
OF FREIGHT EMBARGO
Investigators Found Local Yards Free
from Congestion and in Excellent
Condition.

After making q thorough investiga-
ton OF the local freight yard and OF
freight conditions n this city in gem
eral. 2. r. Allen and Frederick C
Size, who visited Norwich Saturday,
have recommended to the interstate
commerce commission that the en-
Norwich be lifted.
The Investigation here was in line
with the Investigations Into freight
conditions in the different cities, the
outcome OF the eastern freight accumu-
lation conference held in the Grand
Central at New York by the interstate
commerce commission and the presf-
dents of the eastern railroads Mr.
Allen made a thorough investigation
and inspection of the condition Of all
tracks in the local yards. while Mr..
Size, accompanied by the local agent,
James C. Isbister, visitedamany Of the
Industries which have complained OF
slow freight shipments.
These included the Hopkins g. Allen
Arms company. H F. g. A J. Dawley,
the United States Finishing company,
Arthur d. Lathrop and Mayor 7. c,
Murphy, who complained OF the fact
that the city had been unable 10 re-
ceive coal for its municipal gas and
electric plant, and President William
A. Somers Of the Norwich Chamber OF
Commerce.
After their investigation the repre-
sentatives Of the conference sent 9
despatch to President Clark of the in
terstate commerce commission recon-
mending that the embargo on freighta
| for Norwich be lifted. as they had
/ found the yards here in excellent con.
/ dition, not in the least congested and
| fully able to take care OF all freightI
i destined for Norwich. The tracks In
ssorwich are not filed with an accu'
mutation OF cars. as was found IN many
other cities. With the recommenda.
ton went the request that al rail
roads having cars for Norwich picl
them out from others in various part
andNShip them along Immediately 4
| this city. This may have a tendenc,
| to improve the local freight situation
which has been embarrassed for con
| siderable time past Many OF the man
ufacturers have complained bitterly o
| the situation.
Delayed freights have been a BIZ
factor in the delay OF producing rife
on the war contract from Belgium hell
by the Hopkins & Allen Arms com
pany, which is only now able to pro
duce barrels and major parts. IT hav
ing been expected at the outset tina
by this time army rifles would havl
