COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL
 CONVENTION AT TWISTED
(Continued from page D

of the Question in Teaching" using the blackboard to good advantage for outline and questions.
 Rev. Wallace Harold Finch D. D. of Stamford gave the inspirational address of the convention on "Fo- cussing for the Job" He chose for his text the words of Job." He chose for his text the words of Paul, "This one thing I do." In other words, Paul says he is man of one pur- pose and that masterful purpose. Although Paul never advertised the fact he was man of extraordinary powers. There were many questions of his time which must have had their appeal for Paul. The time in which he lived offered opportunity fer research in many fields, that of philosophy, literature, beauty of country, art and Roman citizenship. But despite all this he never men, toned the names of Plato, Socrates : or Homer, never emphasized the pe- culiarities of the country as would a Livingston or Stanley, never referred to the grace of loveliness of the art of Ephesus, Corinth, Rome or Athens, or spoke of his attitude to- ward militarism. Everything was in subjection to the masterful passion, "This one thing I do." When Paul attempts to make clear what his life purpose was, he calls himself ser want, called by God to be an apostle God recognized him as. such, for when Ananians confessed his fear for Paul God assured him that he was a chosen vassel, called of God. Paul'S page has been finished. There is no parallel in our mission and his We might ask ourselves the question Why are we here tonight? The fact that you are here while SD many have nj interest in the work of the Sun day school, is favorable to the pre-. sumption that you have been called of God. Here is where we strike contract with the apostle Paul. Ii we have been called of God then oul task is the biggest thing we shall find to do. Our purpose is that

vious Saturday night he had announ- eed to his assistant in the library, Howard Pulver, that he was to go to Canaan to spend the Sabbath with his sister. The next morning (Sun- day) John A. Arnold, whose market was across the street from the Nor folk Manufacturing Company's offices, said that he had seen Johnson entering the manufacturing com i pany's plant. This point was never proven, however, as one of the em- ployees of the plant, who said he was in the building at the time Johnson was supposed to have been seen en- tering it, was sure that Johnson was not there. This was the last time that Johnson was reported in Nor folk. From then on until the re- ceipt of the telegram by the state police, Johnson, living or dead, has been a mystery.
 This much mooted note said: "I can not bear to see the dawning of another day. When you get this note, I will be dead. My body will be in the rocks on Canaan mountain I hope that it will never be found. State Police Get Busy
 On August 30 this year, W. C.. Bryan, superintendent of the Pro- vincial Police in Edmonton, Canada, wrote Superintendent Egan that he had just received the descriptions of Philemon W. Johnson, fugitive, want ed on charges of forgery and em- bezzlement, and thought the wanted man was at Camrose. The Canadian offical said that a man answering John sons description had been seen in Camrose, but that his present where abouts were then to him unknown. He requested a number of the des- criptive circulars, saying that every effort would be put forth to locate and arrest the fugitive.
 On September T, Superintendent Egan wrote Superintendent Bryan that the issue of circulars describing Johnson was exhausted, but that he would have more printed and for warded to him. The information was added that if Johnson were ap- prehended, a state policeman would be sent to bring him back. The telegram from the superintendent of the Provincial Police brought matters to head.
 Had Johnson Accompliess7
 At the time of Johnson's depart ure from Norfolk, it was an unsolved riddle as to how he had accomplished his departure without leaving trace as to where he had gone, or how he had escaped. Some of the local people have always said that certain people in town at the time knew of Johnson's departure. If, as was hinted three and half years or more ago when Johnson disappeared, there were others concerned with him in his financial dealings, possible speculations, and shortages, certain interesting things may be brougth out when Johnson is returned to Litch- field county for examination.

Jesus Christ shall have His way in the

Jesus Christ shall have His way Tn the glowing, gleaming minds of our youth. We are following many oc- equations but expressing in them all our responsibility and desire that Jesus Christ shall have His place, until every word, every habit shall bring tribute to this imperial pur- pose. It is an overwhelming, crush ing purpose, one that should send us to our knees. We shall feel incap- able for the task. It cannot be done alone. Only with Him who called the impossible task become true.
 Dr. Finch in closing told most eff fectively the story of a little lame boy in the mountains of Tennessee who travelled far to the scene of a circus. He only saw the out-of-door ] demonstrations intended to entice people into the tent. The boy was entranced by the wonderful melodies which clown produced upon the first fiddle the mountain boy had ever seen. He dreamed and talked about that fiddle until finally a generous hearted teacher purchased one for the boy. It came with strings loose and bow bent. He was disappointed at his efforts to initiate the clown but continued to cling to his violin as his choicest treasure. One day, Bob Tyler, popularly known as ''Fiddling Bob," called at the house, tired and thirsty, and offered the lame boy coin if he would bring him pail of water. While the lad was getting the water the stranger discovered the violin, replaced the broken, knotted strings, tuned it and began to play. The mountain boy
 made great haste, amazed at the
 beauty of the music and found to his astonishment that it was none other than his own once useless instrument It needed only the touch of the mas ter and a masters understanding.
 The task of the Sunday-School worker needs this same touch. Un- der the blessing of God and with the touch of the Great Master upon us we may be adequate to the impor- tant business of seeing to it that, at any and all cost, Jesus Christ shall reign in the quickened mind of the
 youth of Litchfeld county. This

This note said that its writer was going to Canaan mountain, and al- lowed the inference to be drawn that he was to commit suicide. An exam ination of his room showed an empty rifle case. A number of posses were organized and the lonely mountain secured, in the snow, in the vain hope of discovering Johnson's body. Despite the note, the state police were quite sure that its writer never had intended suicide, as there were several little defects in the plan, as announced by Johnson, that were unconvincing to the detectives, who were sure that Johnson would at some time be found, in either this country or Canada.
 Johnson's note was written Sun day morning, at a. m. The pre- AA~1 -,s-- tfssA.

CITY BUILDING
Robert E. Tracey, in Address
at School, Declares Vision
Is Required.
POPULATION TO DOUBLE

Indianapolis must have vision enough
to build for the future, Robert E. Tracy,
director of the bureau of governmental
research Of the Chamber of Commerce,
said in a talk at school No. 6 this after
noon.
indianapolis today is city Of 100000,
with the possibilities of being twice that
size in decade" Mr.. Tracy said. eft

some growth with plenty Of time to
nsOlve its problems as it went along"
He said that indianapolis has no large
foreign population huddled into crowded
quarters and living a European life in
our midst as in some American cities.
1--WE have, however" he added, prob
lens of city planning, of Strengthening
and widening some of our main arteries
of traffic and of opening new ones to
the north, of coming and districting psr
city. Our track elevation and flood pre-
vention work should be completed as rap
idly as possible. Our school plant should
be extended to take care of the increasing
population. We must have vision enough
to build for the great future that we are
all confidently striving for
indianapolis can be in the future
whatever we who are her citizens decide
she shall be. Indianapolis is now the
twenty-third city in population. As rap
idly as possible we should leave that
rung of the ladder and climb up beyond
Portland and Kansas City. The Hoosier
capital is now in line for a great de
velopment, the benefits of which we all
shall enjoy. 1t is, therefore, incumbent
upon us all to apply our common effort
to pushing our city farther to the
front"

Three years of intimate association
with the bolsheviki in Russia was de-
scribed by DIR. Edward fl. Egbert, for
mer superintendent of the American Red
Cross hospital at Kiev. Russia, at a
noon luncheon at the Chamber Of Com
MERGE today. Egbert was associated with
Katherine BreskoVsky, grandmother Of
the Russian revolution" during the war.
DR.. Egbert said that in the spring of
1918 the bolshevists held practically the
whole of Russia under their power and
the intelligent people of Russia had to
a large extent been slaughtered or i'm
prisoned, or were in hiding or refugees
abroad. The masses of the peasantry, he
asserted, for the most part dwelling away
from the railroads, were inert, cowed By
teMer without arms or leaders.
Alfred W. Kliefoth, American military
attache in Petrograd during the war,
also spoke.
Lieut.. Kliefoth said bolshevism means
the complete obliteraHon Of the family
as an institution, the positive extinction
of all religion, the abolition Of all pri-
vate property, personal and national,
and lf-education, which has a peculiar
difference from the Americana reading,
writing and arithmetic courses. He de-
clared that America alone was able to
solve the Russian problem.
