shen groNn u1 they are still babies, as

when grown uD they are still babies, as they have never known possibilities. From different point of view Christ helps US to bear our burdens. The nearer we come to lifes end. the more beautiful heaven is. When we are tired, disappointed, i'll. discouraged, It is pleasant to look over there and see Gods home waiting for us. Heaven is rich because our dear ones are there. The teaching Of Jesus that life Is significant is not what we do. 1t is what we are. Jesus takes our burdens away, He comes with us. for we do not waat to walk alone, He bears them, for He is always with us, by giving us power, strength, courage, vitality.
 When the glory of Jesus is In our soul our life is full Of vitality and strength and will continue so as long as we walk with Him. and when we do not our life is empty. Life is glo- rious for anyone who lives with Jesus.
 Tn closing when Jsus comes into our lives let us> look into His face and live in His glory.

Webb Of New Ha- yen presiding in the superior court here Tuesday afternoon. set the first Tuesday in November as the date for, the sale of the Noank saipyard of the Rood of Springfield, Mass, who has obtained 8 foreclosure judgment of two mortgages he held on the Noank property of the corporation. The fore- closure judgment is in the total amount of s77.ss5.a0.
 Attorney c. Hadlai Hull, who ap- peared for MT. Rood. was supported in his claim for a foreclosure sale by At- torney Arthur T. Keefe. who repre-, scented a number Of creditors, and by Attorney Burdett, . New York law yer, who represented the Groton Iron Works. Attorney C. l.. Avery, who represented the receivers Of the Gro ton corporation Frederick Conlin and |P. LeRoy Harwood, fought hard
 against the foreclosure sale and wanted the court to allow the gale of the Noank plant to be made by the receivers.
 The matter came up on motion for disclosure of defense or Judgment in two cases, one Rood vs. Robert Pal naer & Son Shipbuiiding and Marine Railway Co. and the other Rood vs. Groton Iron Works.

 ence. as either would be judicial sale.
 After Judge Reed had intimated that he was inclined to approve the 1 foreclosure sale order. the next point fought over was the date Attorney 1 Hull wanted it on the first Tuesday ir
 August, but Attorney Avery claimed 1 the receivers ought to be given rnucf more time, possibly six months. ir order to remove certain property tha they had on the premises. Judgt Reed set the sale date for the frs Tuesday in November. after AIr. Root
 had been called to the stand to es. for s4o,oo0 on which s20.ooo had beer I paid off and on which he said there i
 now due ses.4ssea. This is the Pal mer Son Co. note. He also producet the Groton Iron Works note in whicl he said there is now due s54,Sas2s. Attorney Hull suggested Thomas E Troland. a New London lawyer a:

 closely associated with the property
 and Sidney H. Miner. New Londol real estate agent.

FLYING MACHINE FALLS IN
 NEW LONDON CEMETERY

A Curtis Standard two-seated ar- my biplane, ,piloted by Lieut.. ]. S. Donaldson, U. $. A.. and carrying 8 non- commissioned observer. in at tempting a take-off on Mitchell field on Ocean avenue this morning at 10 o'clock, was hindered from rising from the ground as rapidly as Lieutenant Donaldson expected and consequently It struck hedge and 8 wire fence marking the boundary of the field, turned a sorl1ersault in the air and landed upside down in tie Gardner cemetery. It was miracle that nei-s ther Lieutenant Donaldson or his ob- server. sergt. Roy D. Hurt. were not seriously injured.
 The biplane, a JN-s.HE model, ar rived at the field Monday night about |7 o'clock from Mineola Flying field, Long Island. and was en route to Bos- ton, in connection with the recruiting for the air service.
 The first arrivals at the scene of the accident found the two aviators strapped into their seats, and it was that fact that saved them from seri- 1 ous injuries. and, perhaps, death, for l their heads only few inches from the ground. with their bodies held to the seats, by means of the straps. l The machine in it's flight tore down the hedge and the fence for dis tance Of about 75 feet Several heavy l tcmbstones were knocked from their i pedestals also by the flying machine when it came to earth.
 1 The propeller of the bip1ane was
 smashed to pieces. and torn from it's
 base: The left wing, which had struck
 the hedge first, was torn and ripped
 ana the right wing vas smashed when the plane struck the, ground The flldder was bent and broken, the seats
 dislodg ged. the radiator wrecked and practically the only part of the ma chine that was not damaged was the motor, which appears to be intact Several sailors attached to the ari-
 stion section of the Naval Experirnen tai station, had been at the field the
 greater part of the morning, aiding 1 the pilot to put the. machine in shape for its flight to Boston. and they witnessed the accident. They rushed to the cemetery and with their com bined efforts, the machine was lifted sufficiently to enable Lieutenant Don a.ldson and his observer to undo them sievss and climb out. Outside of q severe shaking up, the ariators were
 uhinjured.
 Lieutenant Donaldson and his ob- server went to the aviation headauar- ters at the Experimental Station and fAppot tsA the acElaeHL 10 army nead-
 quarters at Fort H. G. Wright
 Acting upon adviees received fror the army post. a working party oi sailors attached to the aviation sec tion at the Experimental station were
 dispatched to the cemetery and un-
 der the direction Of Boa atswain Rich
 ard Davis. the machine was removed
 from the cemetery and placed upon 2
 high auto truck. after which it was
 taken to the station.
 Lieutenant Donaldson and Sergean'
 Hunt will finish their journey to Bos
 ton by train. Tn the Hub they vii get another ajrship and proceed tt Camp Devens. They made the tril
 from Mineola to New London in less
 than ali hour and a. haE.
