CHARLES W. coMsTock.
A Picturesque Figure as He Swept
 Through the Lobby.

Referring to the death of Charles w. Comstock, Spectator says in the New Haven Register:
 The death of Charles w. Comstock of Montville removed from the lobby one of its unique figures. and one that no session for many years had ever missed greeting. An attorney for many public. service corporations in the eastern part of the state. in most of which he held a personal interest and as chairman for two sessions of the democratic state central commit tee, there was little that went on about the capitol while the legislature was in session that Mfr. Comstock did not know the ins and outs Of He was consistently active this session, even up to a few days before his death. He was picturesque figure with his flowing frock coat blowing out behind him as he swept through the lobby, his tall, commanding figure pushing his way through no matter how dense the crowd. Many, of the oldtimers who had been colleagues with him for many years in the third house will soreiy miss him as there was many turn he could put them wise to when they were stumped themselves.

ROCKIES DISAPPOINTING.
Mrs. W. E. Dunstan, Writing From Idaho, Describes Experiences of Bridgeport Automobile Tourists.

Mrs. s. NJ. Dustan, at the Whitman tic Camp Ground. received a very in teresting letter, few days ago, from her sons wife, Mrs. w. E. Dunstan, who, with her husband and two chil- dren, and another man and his wife as passengers started some weeks ago from Bridgeport in a five passenger Flanders automobile for Portland mailed from Boise, Idaho, where they are staying for week or two before taking the last lap of their journey. MT. Dunstan, at one time, lived in this city.
 Extracts from the letter are as fol- lows:
 Wednesday. July Is. 1917. Dear Mother:
 We arrived at Boise, Idaho. a week ago Monday, and soon hope to re- Sume our journey to the coast, either to Portland or Seattle both places are said to have plenty of work at
 I am sorry that I couldn't write to you Oftener but it was almost inn possible. We rose sometimes as early as o'clock and hurried to break camp so as to get an early start, and at night. 1t was work until dark, nnalS- ing camp. We sometimes washed dishes or clothes by the light of the campfire. couldn't write when the car was in motion, so you see how it was.
 The thermometer here reads over a hundred in the sade every Hay, and I was never so hot in all my life.
 Crossed Deserts.
 From the time we left Cheyenne, where l mailed you a card, we had miserable time crossing what is known as the desserts of Wyoming and Idaho.' The mountains looked beautiful from Cheyenne and was elated at the sight but I soon became very much depressed. Try to irnas zine the worst thing in roads that you can think of, then think of something worse and you will have some idea of what we had to travel over in Wyo- ming, not mud, mind you, We had that in Ohio.
 The Lincoln Highway is q big joke in the western states as far as good roads are concerned. One man we met said that he would like to take down every sign and substitute some thing different, he didn't mention what We travelled these horrible roads for miles and miles, over dry hot pains, where nothing grows ex- cept sage brush.

SHELTERING ARMS SERVICE. Pastor of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Breaches on Gods Wondrous Love.

Rev. F. Barrow bastor of Mt. Cal vary Baptist church of Norwich, con . ducted the regular Sunday afternoon service at the Sheltering Arms. He read for the scripture lesson the twenty third psalm, the last part of the foreieth chapter Of Isiah and part of the eighth chapter of Romans be- ginning with the twenty fifth verse. The theme of his address is con- tained in the words Nothing sepa- rates us from the love of God" Sick ness does not separate us.~ or any other trouble. Gods love is ever lasting, rich and mighty it finds shields. comforts and protects us Gods love was especially manifested
 u Christ.
 MT. Barrow thought that the Shel- terinS Arms was rightly named, be- cause it sheltered those that lived there. God also is sheltering arm to us: He is our refuge and strength. God is a shepherd Who knows His sheep by name and is interested in everyone of them. We live forever if we live in Jesus Christ. we throw away our bodies but we live on.
 We must look santo the face of Christ and see the love of God which will make us strong.
