IN SEEING CHRIST YOU
HAVE SEEN THE FATHER

In his sermon last night in Stock
ton Street Baptist church on THE
Fatherhood Of God" Rev. w. r Leck
litter, the pastor, exploded the Oar
winian theory as to the evolution OF
man from lower animals, and OK
planned to the large congregation
present how the human race had its
origin in Gods own bosom.
The story of the prodigal son was
given as one of the best illustrations
to prove that man was created in Gods
own image. In this great parable the
father would not take SO deep an in
terest and care in all mankind If man
himself were not an offspring of Je-
hovah.
l. There were three main divisions to
the sermon, the first being. How
that is often asked. His answer was
His family Is the whole human
race quoting from John. 3:ts.
Compare this between mans actual
condition. however and there is as
great distance as there is between
heaven and hell They deny Him.
they scoff, and they revile Him"
The other two divisions were, the
.fatherhood of God and sin and the
fatherhood Of Cavalry. of heaven and
of hell
ApHtTdTy 10 some more modern tIt-
ologians Mr.. Lecklitter believes. like
Billy Sunday. that hell is as much
part Of Gods world as heaven. He
can think Of no hereafter without
place Of punishment for those who
have sinned and scorned the teachings
of their Saviour.
Jesus died upon the cross to save
men from sin. and II there was moth
ing TO save them from. what did he
do il for 80 asked the preacher.
To those doubling the existence Of
divine being. one OF the most con-
vincing arguments, the pastor de-
ictared was the word OF Jesus when
he replied to the publicans who were
questioning him about the existence
and form Of God
Jesus answered. Those who have
seen me. have seen my Father. All
that l have seen they have seen"

BIGGEST YEAR FOR VACATION
 TRAVEL HERE
Trolley Companies Break Records-R. R. Traffic
 Largest on Record.
HEAVIEST TRAVEL TO
 WHITE MOUNTAINS
Every Train Running To ward Mountains Has
 Two Sections.

Traffic on the steam and electric rOadways and on the waterways has increased tremendously since July l, according to officials of the various operating companies. The vacation travel has been very large on the New Haven rOSf, the traffic the heaviest ever seen. While both east and west bound trains are running in extra sections, the travel from New York toward to White Noun tains is by far the heaviest.
 The White Mountain, Bar Harbor and State of Main expresses have been running in two sections and the Federal and Colonial Expresses to and from Washington have also been carrying capacity loads. Today prac- tically every train through Bridge port in both directions was run in two or more sections, and with large number of troops being trans ported from points of disembarka- ton to the various camps, pra c- tically every available car on the sys- tenn is being utilized to care for the rush of business.
 The Connecticut Company and the Shore Line Trolley Company are ex- periencing the heaviest shore traffic since before the war both in their passenger and express departments. Many eXtracars have been placed in service by both companies to accom- modate those coming from the inland sections to the shore. Many extra cars, it is stated are also in commits sion daily to transport picnic parties and outings to the resorts along the shore.

 What was the matter with you?' whispered Bertram savagely to her 6 few minutes later.
 ''Nothing-Oh I may as well tell you. That man that came with Vandervere is old Martin, tho man that owned thc Cafe Roma. He re- membered me the minute he saw me. He'll tell everyone just who I arn!"
 "A pretty rotten start, I'll say" 1nuttered Bertram.
 Just then the dinner was an nounced and they all passed into the dining room. At the last minute one of the ladies had been obliged to send regrets and MT. Vandervere and the gentleman who came with him sat beside each other. Eva could not keep her eyes from the pair. Every time they spoke to each other she imagined tfFey were talking about her and several times she thought she saw Horace Vandervere look at her with an amused expression on his face. However, he was doing full justice to the dinner The social status of his hostess did not seem to be worrying him.
