SIN IS FAILURE TO
 KEEP PACE WITH GOD
At the United Church Sunday morn

At the United Church Sunday morn ing, the pastor. Rev. Alexander H. Ab- bolt preached a masterly sermon on 4 Modern Mans Conviction Of Sin
 using as a general text that DOT tion of the book of Genesis, third chapter, dealing with Adam and Eve
 Jehovah, as He walked among the
 trees in the garden.
 Sin is now just what it was in an cient times, and will be all the to- morrows-the fact of not keeping pace with the progress of God. God is a God of progress, who walks through the trees of life. The companionship of a God of progress is absolutely nec- essary for a nations growth. Sln means not keeping pace with the pro- some of those old fashioned laws which govern us. In the late war Germany lost it's stride and sinned by not keeping pace with God. Kings sin when they do not keep pace with the on-rushing progress of humanity; capitalists sin when they do not keep pace with the insight that fair deal- ing and justice are ties that cannot be resisted. Then. there are the sins that march with a socialistic move ment, which men call mob violence, or reigns of terrors But, whatever be the nature of these movements. right tousness in any social unrest. is keep ing pace with the progress Of God in such movement.
 IL is very easy to point at the mote in our brothers eye; the real test comes when we enter into the home Of each individuals life. If the individual does not keep pace with the progress of knowledge. he sins tremendously Let's have done with the belief of life which secludes sin to some special steps: sin runs riot in all phases of life. in every big social movement of today and all mundane affairs. Gods spirit is always walking among the trees and the men and women who hide there. are not keeping pace with the Divine step. We escape sin only when we try to walk with God righteousness consists in keeping step with Him. while sin, is nothing more nor less than losing, pace with the Divine guidance.

Great War Work of Marlin Rockwell

1 What the Marlin Rockwell corpora tion's contribution towards the war needsso of the government amounted to
 was discussed by A. F. Rockwell, head of the corporation, in an inter view given at his home in Bristol
 ] While the Norwich plant of this con- l cern has been standing idle for some l time and the machinery is being ship ped out of it in small lots. MT. Rock well had nothing to say about what would eventually be done with the Norwich plant, although he stated that the Philadelphia plant of the Marlin Rockwell corporation is engaged in
 making ball and roller bearings. also wire wheels for automobiles. During the war. the New Haven plant also made radiators for airplanes. and is
 piles: also roller bearings and steel
 balls and asbestos insulated wire.
 At Plainville. just outside of Bristol,
 the corporation has a factory to which
 1t is about to make a large addition,
 which will be the center Of most un- usual experiment which has attracted
 wide attention. It consists in the
 manufacture of an lair fiivver,' a light
 two-passenger airplane for pleasure or commercial use. Hugh Rockwell
 the inventor, began work with the the ory that since an automobile needed more cylinders than an airplane, nov ing at varying speeds. inasmuch as the power in the latter must be more
 flexible, an airplane. which must go at top speed to encounter wind re- sistance sufficient to leave the ground, needs fewer cylinders to move at greater speed.
 He proved the accuracy of his con- clusions by building two-cylinder plane, with a much lighter frame than that of the usual machine. and far fewer parts. The machine weighs 53o pounds with two passengers, 4S0 pounds with neither passengers nor fuel. The plane rises off the ground within less than 100 feet. and lands in the same distance. It is built to sell for about s1,000. The price of the or dinary plane. when it is new. is be- tween s120oo and s15.000.
 Mir. Rockwell came into the "gun drama" when he got a contract for Russia through the British govern

 and apportioned the work of get ting ready. We rented the facilities of many machine plants in New Eng land, and placed men at work. Each man was a special expert on some particular part. There were about r. 800 different machine operations. all of which were co-ordinated so that they worked together and passed a New Haven plant got the first guns out on time. and completed the whole contract within the time limit"
 This remarkable achievement was followed by two other contracts with the British government for Russia, both of which were finished on time. When the United States entered the war. the Marlin Rockwell plant sup piled the army with the hrst machine guns used for training purposes. Guns of various types were subsequently, supplied to the troops abroad. and to the navy. to be mounted on merchant ships for use at sea
 Nearly 5000 guns were supplied to the navy. with mounts and other ac- cessories. The Marlin machine gun was the only fixed gun to be used on American airplanes abroad.
 At the end of the war, the Marlin chine guns to be used in tanks which the government proposed to use. and had orders for about 7.20o.
 Perhaps the most spectacular bit of enterprise displayed by MT. Rockwell was his acquisition of the Hopkins Allen machine plant at Norwich. This firm was engaged in filling a contract for the Belgian government for 150,000 rifles. The contract could not be com pleted, and the need was imperative. Quickly divining the situation. MT. Rockwell bought out the plant. as- sunaing the contract The rifles were supplied within the interval agreed upon.
 Approximately 1000 people were em- ployed at the Norwich plant; about 1000 at New Haven. and $500 at plant in Philadelphia.

MAKES EXACT GUESS
 ON EGGS HEN LAID

At the Mansfield town fair held at Storrs last week, the management of the egg laying contest put in a White Wyandotte hen with a trap nest re- cord of the number of eggs she had laid since the first of last November. All patrons of the fair were invited to estimate the number of eggs this hen laid and prizes were offered for the best estimates. Mrs. L. P. Waldo Marvin of Hartford estimated this hens egg yield at 223 eggs, which agreed exactly with the trap nest re- cord of the birds performance. She
 has therefore been awarded first prize, 3 pedigreed White Leghorn cockrel bred and reared at the Az ricuItural College. When called on the telephone from Storrs and told of her accurate estimate. Mrs, Marvin said that she would probably have the prize cockere1 sent to the Mansfield State Training School to be used as a breeder. Paul Steve, student at the college and Miss Ruth Nj. Russ of 5S Prospect street, Willimantic, tied for second place with an estimate of 222 eggs. Decision by lot made Miss Russ winner of the second prize. It is in- teresting to note that the estimates on this hens egg yield, which in some cases were probably little more than a guess, varied all the way from r to 30S eggs.
