FORSAkE SIN, IS LENTEN MESSAGE

The fourth Lenten sermon at St
PatrlcHs church on Sunday evening
by Rev. Father Anselm of St. Ga
briels monastery. Boston and was
heard by large number. the church
being filled nearly to capacity. Rev
Father Anslem took the theme of his
sermon from the the 18th chapter of
st. John, the first verse: Then Pi-
late therefore took Jesus and Scourg-
ed Him" He said in part:
When Jesus stood before PLATE. the
Roman governor saw q divine holt
ness in Christ. Having examined Him
he found Jesus innocent of any
crime. He told the people this but
when he did so he saw disappointment
in the multitude and to curry favor
he turned Christ over to the mob. AS
it was custom of the passover TO
release a man he placed Barabbas. a
robber, beside Christ and asked the
people to choose. They cried give us
Barabbas. And when asked by Pi-
late what he should do with Christ
the mob cried Cruelty Him."
When PLATE placed Christ beside
the robber he placed eternal purity on
one side and sin on the other and
the people chose sin. SO it has been to
this day. People are asked to choose
between God and sin. Our Saviour
was scourged. He suffered the vilest
punishment Why? Because he was
TO make atonement for the sins OF
men and women, in order that we
might become a Christian people.
When the mob took Christ and cru
Gifted Him they were ruled by passion

SETTING CLOCKS AHEAD
WAS ALL NIGHT JOE

Setting clocks in the city forward
an hour Saturday night made a job
for jeweler John H. Ferguson that be
gan at IL o'clock Saturday night and
was not ended till 9,15 Sunday morn
ing. SO Norwich is officially en-
barked on the nationwide daylight
saving plan.
From now until October 25 clock
time, so-called will prevail instead of
the calendar time which has obtained
since the hour lost in the spring of
1918 was caught up again in the fall.
The time change is authorized under
the notwithstanding law passed by
congress in 1918 as a conservation
measure. Representative from
farming districts, dissatisfied with the
first seasons trial of the scheme,
sought recently to have the act re-
Dealed but the agricultural appropri-
alton bill with a repeating rider failed
with other measures killed by the
senate tilibuster
Jeweler Ferguson had the work of
changing all the clocks in banks of
the city in the town hall and the
officers in the building, at Park

WILL LACK POWER TO
ENFORCE FEDERAL DRY LAW

No concurrent legislat ton to enforce
the federal prohibition amendment will
be passed by the general assembly at
this session. The amendment provides
that congress and the state shall have
concurrent power" to enforce it.
We can't concur because we have
nothing with which to concur and
will not have until congress posses
legislation" H. H. Spooner, secretary
of the Connecticut Temperance Union,
is quoted as saying by a Hartford
newspaper We shall have to wait
until congress passes a measure OF
enforcement and then we will concur
in that measure with similar legisla-
ton.
AS congress cannot possibly pass leg
islation of this sort before the general
assembly adjourns, which will prob
ably be early in May Connecticut
will have no state measure Of en-
forcement.
Mr.. Sp0oners statement places a
new light, so far as the state is con-
cussed meaning OF the phrase, con
current power" His idea and that
of other prohibitionists seems to be
that the concurrent power of the
states is to be simply a rubber
stamp power, a process by state leg
islation approving whatever congress
passes And this is based upon the
belief that congress Will pass enforc-
ing legislation for the amendment
which win be acceptable to the pro
hibitionists and which will not allow
the manufacture and sale of beverages
with a comparatively large alcoholic
content.
Mr.. Spooner and the assembly jul
dietary committee have been working
| together on the problem. The concIu-
sion reached was to wait until con-
gress acted. so as to have something
with which to concur. No action viii
be taken by this state, therefore, unit

272,361 BUSHELS OF GRAIN
FROM STATES WAR ACRES

ConnecticutS war acres in 1918
added 272,362 bushels Of grain to the
nations food supply, according to fig
ures compiled from annual reports
of county agents in the eight coun-
ties of the state. This figure repre-
sents only the product of additional
acres that would not have been plant
ed except for the vigorous crop pro-
duction campaign carried On by the
agents as war emergency. Analy-
sis of the figures hows that this great
quantity of grain was distributed as
follows: Wheat, 372ST bushels oats.
$3.50 bushels; corn, 109, 440 bushels;
rye. 24.830 bushels; buellwheat. H.
