Evening Chat

| Rev. Baird Mitchell talked to his
! Pensioners yesterday morning about
! sin and its punishment. He remark
| cd that many did not go to church
because they did not want to hear
a sermon on hell "The gospel as the
Lord preached it IS message OF
! goodness which stands in the forS-
around but Gods severity must not
| be forgotten. The Lord came to save
the world-He seldom spoke Of pun
| ishment. anymore than a father should
speak OF punishment to the child try
ing hard 10 be good 1t was only
mans awful reckIesSneSs at the las
which brought words OF condemnation
from the Lord-words in which he
warned them OF punishment
In every congregation are the care
! less-those toying with sin and play
ing with fire. They need to be told
of punishment. The new testament
says sin IS punished inevitably. We
live in a moral universe. The Bible
says there are two s&teS-one is mar
row and the other wide and man may
choose. Sin is punished naturally
not mechanically accordance with
law. Men reaps what he sows. lie,
WHO Sows TO the lower life Will reap
fEat-corr;2tion and disaster. He
who sows TO the spirit viii reap the
things of the spirit. In the court of
life there is no ciScarriage OF justice
though in the court OF man, many in
nocent are punished and many who
are guilty escape.
There are many in the world today
who would be happier If they were
locked in Jail. 1t is not possible 10
escape ones conscience Cain went
loose but with the mark Of the muT-
derer on him which caused him TO
crv--9fy punishment is greater than
] can bear. Divine justice is so Just
that it becomes glorious There Isl
only one frightful thing IN the Eni-
yerse-sin. and while the world IS not
all sunbeams and though there are
thickets and briers and horrible as
pacts of nature-these contrasts exist
for a purpose. History is made OF
contrasts-the Bible is book OF con-
1rasts-there is the sweet and bitter!
in every human cup. 1t is foolish,
therefore, TO believe that We are in
ti.is world to be babied. We are re-
sponsible for neutrality-suspicious. or
talents, and the truth is our best
shield. NC must than take heed To-
the word of God-words Of blessings
or of punishment and never lose sight
OF the fact that we are his children
over whom he is more w&tcnful than
anv mother" The foregoing were
Rev. Mitchell's words 70 his congreSa-
ion Yesterday n,orning-spc6e1 with
great emphasis and much thought and
feeling.

PRINCE OF TAVERN WRITER'S
"Good Old Horace" Positively Popular
In the American Meaning, Declares
Genial Midwest Critic.

Old HOratius Flaccus Of all the an
cient bards is nearest to our modern
sense. He is positively popular" in the
American meaning. Nearly every rhym.
ster translates or parodies an ode or
two. He is very affinitive, companion
able and appropos, so to speak. We
understand him and feel certain that
he would understand us were he here.
He would be conducting ''colyum" Of
quips and jests upon some editorial
page or else he a better James Whit
comb Riley were he one of us right
now. To be sure, he would have to
alter his morals a mite to serenade
Lalage and to babble of Falernian
little less, but in general Horace would
be fright there with the push"
Old Horace is a brother and sport,
as we'll as all men who read him feel,
observes writer in the Minneapolis
Journal. Ard that is why so many
are strong for him still, just as the
late Eugene Field was. That Sabine
farm Of his, some miles out of Caesar
can Home and long time back in
the centuries, is as familiar to us as
tout to old Aunt Mary's."

Measuring Hiqh Temperature.

Tin, which melts at about $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit, has been applied to
the measurement of high temperatures
In the same way that mercury, melt
ing at 3S degrees below zero, is used
for measuring ordinary atmosphere
temperatures. Instead of being placed
in glass bulb with closed tube, says
the Nebraska State Journal, the melted
tin is contained in graphite bulb hav-
Ing an open tube, and readings are
made by lowering into the tube
plunger of metal with high melting
point. When the plunger touches the
tin, an electric circuit is closed, Civ
ing bell or other signal, the position
of the plunger showing the tempera-
ture. This new form of pyrometer
may be used in either of two ways
% to give the temperature at any
time by sliding down the pointer until
the electric signal is set off, or (2)
to announce when any predetermined
temperature is reached by setting the
pointer at the proper number of de-
grees on the scale. AS the melted tin,
like melted mercury, is found to ex-
pand at a very even rate, the indica-
tons are held to be notably accurate.

Men and Watches.

Special talent often makes fine
spurts ahead and genius sometimes
scars grandly. but 1t is the steady-go-
ing sort Of worker who gets the most
done in the end. and is the most reli-
able. 1t Is with men as it is with
their watches-the most reliable and
serviceable are the ones steadily at
work. writer on the Canadian Her
aid observes. There is a PENNSYLVANIA
railroad engineer who has retired on
n pension after IS years of service.
II have carried one watch for more
than &c years" he says. "and it always
kept the right time. A good engineer
must have a good watch: it does the
most important part Of his work" It
is said of this engineer that he has
been an exceptionally sober. orderly,
steady going man. whose health has nj
ways been good and his record ALWAYS
clean. But doesn't this go without
saying. when we know that his watch
always kept the right time?

A large audience attended the
Danbury home talent play, en-
titled, THE Regiments Tune"
given at Cohen's hall Sat. Feb.
%. The play spoke well for the
training and talent of Danbury,
and the characters are to be con-
graduated upon their splendid
reproduction of the play. 1t was
a real treat to the people of
Markville. A masquerade dance
was given after the play and all
present reported good time.
The proceeds from the play and
masquerade dance were evenly
divided between the two Red
Cross auxiliaries of Danbury and
Markville. This netted quite a
sum to both, and goes to show
that Danbury has the right kind
of patriotism. and we heartily
thank them for their co-opera-
ton in this matter of Red Cross
work. N. Cohen donated the
hall for the evening. His gener-
osity is always shown when it
comes to doing his bit for the
Red Cross.
