MASONIC ORDER.AT CHURCH
Housatonic Lodge and Esther Chapter
 Attend Divine Service.

The St. John Day service at Pill grim Church last Sunday, was largely attended by Masons and members of the order of the Eastern Star. M. w. Grand Master l.. J.. Nickerson was present as were several past masters of Housatonic Lodge, MT. Gillette pre- faced his sermon with most cordial welcome to the Grand Master and the members of the lodges present.. He said the lodges existed primarily to gratify the social instinct that is in us all; but that they are also instructive morally and are religious. By that he explained that the masonic fraternity was not a religion, or a cult, and if any made it such they awaked prejudice and unjust criticism against the fraternity. But to show that the order was religious he read passages from its ritual concerning the Bible, prayer, and faith in God and immortality. He said however that man was not saved by assenting to ritual or creed, or by joining a church
 or lodge, or by living up to any code or cult but as St. Paul said By grace are ye saved through faith" personal faith and trust. It shall be by this grace that we shall receive a masters wages, the Masters reward, when we are called at last from labor to the re- freshment of that eternal rest.
 A solo was sung by R.~D. Peirce and there was a male quarette in which Lester Place sang the solo part, the others singing in the quartet being K. D. Peirce, John Adams and Malcolm Adam. The offering was for the Army Y. M. O. 4. work.

FISH ARE DYING
Thousands of Trout and Other Fish
 Killed by Chemicals.

The local fishermen were up in arms last Thursday when a large market basket loaded to overfiowing with beautiful large trout was exhibited as sample of the thousands strewn along the banks of the Blackberry river dead and dying from the effects of a copious discharge of chemicals into the stream from the new plant of the Con- necticut Chemical Go. at East Canaan.
 Previous to this calamity it was feared that trouble would eventually corle from this source and the matter had been taken up by the State Board of Fisheries and Game and the State Board of Health and an investigation of the conditions was under way, with a view to finding some method of COT. recting anything that would prove in. furious to the fish or to cattle pastur ing along the stream, or, most impor- tant of all, to people who may in any. way come in contact with it.
 There is no desire on the part of any. one to make trouble for the new enter. prise that has come to our town and it is sincerely hoped that the problem may be solved to the satisfaction of all
 The state authorities are expected to make an examination some day this week, the result of which will be pub lished in The News later.

 Whereas it has pleased Our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst by death, our beloved friend and associate in Club life, Josephine Logan Camp, who founded the Cfanferd Gluh, tsssd was one of it's most interested and interesting members, giving freely of her time, and ever ready to open her house for Club gatherings.
 Therefore, Resolved-That in the death of Mrs. Camp, we have sustained the loss of friend, whose fellowship it was a pleasure to enjoy. That the Club has thus been deprived of the one to whom it owes its existence, and that we as co members bear testimony to her pleasing personality, keen wit and marked executive ability.
 We offer to her bereaved famil our heartfelt sympathy, and pray that God in His Infinite Goodness may soothe their burdened hearts, and grant them the consolation that hope in futurity, and faith in God, give to His sorrow ing children.
 Resolved, That copy of resolutions be presenteu to the family, printed in the village paper, and placed on Club records.
