time began, and those who are wide
 awake never fail. to observe 1t. Nature does not produce men in rhyme or duplicates but as units of force not only to follow a million pursuits, but with initiative to create a - million more. We blame men who are blame less and call 1t justice. and we. create combinations without considering their relation to justice and call them governments when they are tyran- ranies. In our selfshness, ignorance or wilfulness some of us are always getting the cart before the horse. The very best any of us can do is to represent our capacity. or. the lack of it. But there are times when we. dis cover that the strong hearts. the firm hearts are true and brave and in the majority. The little minds are shrinking today just as they always have done and always will do. Per- haps without great crises there could not be this assuring revelation

 The name Trumbull has been so long associated with the history of Connecticut that it is virtually the Constitution State, to recall the deeds of members of the Trumbuil family. Particularly. is this true when considering the wonderful share which the evolution of, not alone state, but national history. To mention Trunl- bull recalls Lebanon; and Lebanon. suggests Trumbull!
 Capt. Joseph TrumbuiI, the in,n,i- grant ancestor who came into the Connecticut Colony from Suffield in 1704, has rather come to be known as ter about that. Trumbull the son, the future governor, after being graduated from Harvard College In 1727, went into business with his father, became a merchant and engaged on a big scale in commerce-tfle present Leh- anon War Oflce being his store.
 This younger Trumbuli-Jonathan- and the firms to which he belonged, owned ships which traded with Lon don and Bristol, England. Hamburg, Germany, and the West Indies. They took on their cargoes at Stonington and New London. also at Haddam, on; the Connecticut River.
 All the trades were at that period carried on at Lebsnon;. so that the town became an important business center. Cloth, leather boots and shoes, saddles and harnesses. axes, hoes and scythes, as well as many barrels were made there. Among the town officers appointed every year was an inspector of leather. indicat- ing an industry of considerable inn portance and profit at that time.

it is doubtful if man can be a decent Christian without health. In mortal life everything seems to de- pend upon it, to be discolored without It. Sickness represents violated law just as truly as dyspepsia is the re- morse of a guilty stomach. We are not taught as we should be that the preservation of health is a moral and religious duty. Think of a protesting Christian stopping around with. wet feet, thinking he is within the law and invoking Gods love when he is blasting the best gift the Lord has given him. A sound mind Is the ta- bernacle of a sound body, and is above price; and being temperate. in all things is the price of keeping 1t. Some people are made invalids by lack of exercise. and some by lack of sense, these last being driven to insanity or suicide by their lack of self control. When health has been squandered there Is nothing left to be enjoyed, since there is no pleasure without 1t. Health is not preserved by, prayer, but by Gods sunshine and pure air, and bodily exercise.

THE MAN WHO TALKS


 When it comes to spring New Eng land and old England have much the same weather in this year of 1917. There is an old English adage: Spring lhHs come when you can put your foot on three dasies at once"; but 1t did not hold good this year, for a wanderer there in April gave notice that he stood with his foot on three daisies in the midst of vio- lent snowstorm; and now they are saying there: "One swallow does not make a summer or one proverb a spring. Spring seems perfectly able to knock out all definitions as well as all expectations whenever it. pleases. If spring could furnish its own signs we should have something dependable. How spring seems to us depends wholly upon our relation to it. As a picture it delights us, but as a part ner it is usually disappointing. It was Mark Twain who counted 136 kinds of weather in one New England spring day.

Have you noticed when you walk in the path of kindllness you do not. have to carry a gun or yearn for peace, for you have found it. There is no good reason upon earth why people should not be kind except that in their blind ness they repudiate wisdom. Kindness or to be bought with gold It is of the heart not of books, and. the one essence which is of the kingdom of heaven. It stands closely related to charity and 1t discounts to a degree both faith and hope because it rep resents divine action. charity. rep resents divine mind. Kindness is the child of love-the equipment of an- gels. Kindness is cooperative and where exercised comes back like an echo of the voice., not in the, fulness perhaps, but true to quality.

It has been remarked that occasion ally young man has so much com mon sense that a college education doesn't unfit him for a useful career. A college graduate who doesn't realize he isn't it, but that he only represents preparedness in its days of verdancy and inexperience starts with an, en- barraSsing handicap. The youth who brides himself upon his diploma more than upon his grasp upon knowledge as an instrument of skill, usually be- comes more noted for the front he puts up than for his forensic force or intellectual achievements. The college graduate who is conscious of the sac rifces his father and mother made to have him fitted to fill a larger sphere in life than they. were capable of fill ing, and realizes their foresight and ambitions forms the cornerstone of any intellectual structure he is capable of raising, has laid the foundation of the finest possible character and career and is sure of success. We all owe an unredeemab!e debt to those who have striven before us.

Have you ever asked yourself: "For what avail the blow or sail, or land, or life if freedom fail?" Our opportuni- ties, our privileges, our strength of character, our joy and well-being in every direction, depend upon our free dom. When freedom is menaced how can any free-born soul remain passive? It is doubtful if any man loved free
 dom or peace more than Abraham Lin coin, and when he met the represent atives of the confederacy and it was agreed not word of that conference should ever be put upon paper, 1t is recorded that he asked permission to write one word and; having obtained permission, he wrote Union" the word nearest and dearest to every American heart, hoping the pscycho-. logical effect would be to bring home to Americas recalcitrant sons a ra- tional picture of peace and progress and prosperity. No heart there was then receptive to the magic word which would have saved our brethren many future woes and which would have made us a united. free and happy. family. This great en1ancipator be- 1ieved in freedom. No man. said he, lis good enough to govern another man without that others consent" It is this mutuality, this sovereignty of the individual we all stand for If freedom should fail, of what avail is all the rest?

No man can tell why the average man would rather pay $10 for a fish, ernan's outfit than to pay s for pew rent; or why 8. professed Christian finds more joy in paying $15O in law to have his own way than he can muster up for the payment of S25 to demonstrate the beauty of the golden rule. To speak the truth the cave man the savage-suill has a strong hold upon most of us, and despite our pre- lenses reveals himself at times and places to- show how thin the veneer of civilization is. Many of us can con- form to the conyentionalities as easily as trained dog can perform his stunts; but when we are confronted with a real test of character and ought to be confident and calm and forceful we are shrinkers. We do not want to be tested. We want to be praised-to be recognized at our own estimate in- stead of shown up by the standard of manhood. We are not what we think we are, but what our action shows we are.

 What do you know about one today being worth an eternity of yesterdays? That depends I guess wholly upon the character of the yesterdays. The value or yesterdays depends upon what we put into them. A slacker's yesterday may be a bauble while the yester- day of a developing soul may glow with goodness and. spirituality Our yesterdays are just as good or. just as worthless as we are. Today is an open opportunity-yesterda may have been a lost opportunity of it may be concreted evidence of our growth and promise. Yesterday is photo- sphere of time upon which our color is reflected, and many of us have as many colors as we have days I can imagine yesterdays as black as night and as harassing as a guilty con science; and other yesterdays mir rowing Christian character as a lake mirrows the ferns lining it's shores or stirring and variable like the rain bow because of their purity and worth

 The Committee makes the fol- lowing findings:
 Although the testimony was conflicting, it shows that in some instances the treatment of men is cruel and inhuman, and that the number of licks struck when men are whipped range from four to thirty-two.
 The beds are extremely dirty, the mattresses made from musty straw taken from a stack that was one or two years old, with no sheets, although there are plen- ty of blankets, and the only pil- lows are billetts of wood under the mattresses.
 The clothing is inadequate, they often wear the same clothes two or three weeks, and sleep in the same clothes in which they work, in summer or winter, dry or wet weather. No towels are furnished and no soap except on Sunday morning when they take their bath, three men using the same soap at the same time.
 At Tucker the men have sui fleient amount to eat, but it IS frequently not properly prepared or cooked.

 Details of the governments med neutrality plans for defer ing the merchant marine wef72 withheld to avoid endangering Americans and their ships by permitting the information to reach Germany. The only state nent at the White House and the Navy Department was that the president had determined to full ly protect American rights.
 The decision, following pc riod of tense waiting, was gener- ally hailed as the natural and un- avoidable next step in the policy adopted by the president when he broke off diplomatic relations with Germany and gave warning that the United States could not tolerate attacks on American ships and citizens in violation of international law
 Fraught with grave possibili- ty of war with Germany, the ae- tion was taken by President Will son only after he was convinced that Germany is proceeding in her campaign of ruthlessness and had made efforts to plot with Mexico and Japan against the territorial integrity of the Unit ed States.
 Long before the order was giv- en from the White House all nec- essary preparations for the arm- ing of merchantmen had been completed at the Navy Depart ment.
