CITY IN DARKNESS WHEN TURBINE BALKs

but shut down the Marlin Rockwell factory which remained shut down till 12.30. when it got its electric power back.
 In the center of the city while there were no lights in such of the stores as happened to be open, everybody re- sorted to the streets. where the clerks waited in momentary expectation that they would soon have light Few tried to light up with candles though one barber was observed finishing up a haircut in this way. At the Wauregan house the night clerk had several can dles standing on the counter and car- ried another in his hand with which he lighted up the key rack as he kept on assigning and booking guests.
 At the police station there were sew eral gas jets which took care of the situation there in case prisoners had to be booked.
 One of the few places in the city that was not interrupted was The Bull letin office where Sf.e work went on as usual as the company runs it's own lighting and electric power plant At the Davis theatre, Manager A Craig had a well filled house He told them what the matter was when the lights went out and with the air of 2 LCW gas lelS anu d ldn1p or two SHSe 3 little illumination on the scene.

Norwich homes sat in cofnplete darkness for an hour. and a EaiT or Friday evening except for such relief as was afforded by a few flickering gas lights, lamps and candles that were called into service on the streets and Il. the homes and places of business of the city.
 For the first forty minutes it was a total eclipse of the electric light ser vice, both on street lights and lights and power in homes, stores and man ufacturing industries, but for the rest { fthe ninety minutes there was cleo tricity enough to light the streets but not to furnish lights for the residences and business houses.
 The trouble started at a few minutes after o'clock when the big 2 900 kilo : watt turbine at 1he city electric light plant went on strike, cutting off the whole electric current and plunging the city without warning into Stygian darkness. No help could be obtained | from the Uncas Power company at 1 Scotland dam as the high tension. line from there to the city plant was l grounded
 Superintendent Stephen J. Kehoe summoned everyone of his l1en to the plant as soon as the trouble developed and they worked till late into the night trying to find out what had made the turbine lay down on the job, and tc get the full service into operotior again.
 i The small 75o kilowatt engine was started up to fill in on the emergency but it was able to carry only part o the load that is caSed for when stree 1 lights, electric power and the commer- cial service is all running It begar to shoot the current along at $40 ant this was first utilized on limite+ number of the street light circuits and on furnishing power in industrie
 that are on war work
 At 9.30, by which time the 2,00
 kilowatt machine was still cut of com
 mission, it was decided to give tn
 people in their homes enough light t
 see to go to bed by. and the pewe was turned into the commercial ser vice lines but cut off from Manufac c
 turing plants. This gave lights in tN
 residences, stores and on the streets

provided a worship that was social.
The peace offerings were the sacri-
fees of friendship, and were presented
by those who lived and rejoiced in the
sense of an established friendship be-
tween themselves and their Maker
and Preserver. The sin offering, as
the name implies, was for sin. The
treSpaSS offerings were presented in
atonement for sins against God or
against man which admitted of COM
pass offering the idea of retribution.
Thru the offerings God might be ap-
preached by some ritual for any and
all purposes. The priest was media

make his sacrifices. At first these
son succeeding. Moses set aside the
| house of Aaron. They were to be not
less than thirty years of age without
| physical or mental defect, abstainers
from strong drink. distinctively ap-
| pGreled, and exclusively engaged in
the priestly office. The chief duty of
the priests was to offer sacrifices for
their own sins and those of the people,
conduct the regular service of the tenn
| pie IN alternate terms of one week to
each OF the twenty-four priestly
courses. One-tenth of the income of
| the people was to be given to the Lee
vltes, who in turn gave one-tenth to
the support of the priests. The i'm
perfection of the priesthood lay in the
fact that they themselves were sinful

In their persons only the human side
OF mediation. They could only point
to the Christ the great High Priest,
abiding forever one with God and man.
The supreme lesson of Leviticus is
not for Israel alone. For the Indi-
Vldual and the Nation, Holiness, con-
sistins in full conservation of body
and soul to the Lord, and separation
from all that defileth, is the. Divine
ideal, to the attainment of which Jew
and Gentle are called, and the only
way of its attainment is thru the atom
ing sacrifice, and the mediation of the
high priest appointed by God. and the
only evidence of its attainment is a
joyful obedience. hearty and unre-
served, to all the commandments of
God For US all it stands written
Ye shall be holy. for I, Jehovah, your
