THREE PLEASURE BEACH
 COTTAGES ARE BURNED

Three cottages at Pleasure. Beach.
 valued in all at s10,o00, were totally destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock Fri
 day morning. None of them had been
 occupied since last fall. They were
 owned by Samuel Birmingham, Will liam H. Latham of Willimantic, and
 Mrs. Mary E. Smith of New London. The Birmingham family spends the winter in California and their cottage on the beach stands empty through the winter The fire started in that cottage and was discovered between
 midnight and 1 o'clock by Joseph Dou- ton who notified Constable Louis
 Rieger
 Efforts were made to extinguish the blaze but they were unavailing and the fire soon commVnic3ted to the La- than and Smith cottages, one on each side of the Birmingham cottage. When it was evident that the fire could not be controlled a hurry call was sent for assistance to New Lon | don, but by the time a fire engine from there had reached the beach the three cottages were a total loss. i The cottages were located at what is known as the lower beach and 1 directly on the water front The fact that the wind was blowing off shore. in the direction of the sound, un- doubtedly saved several other cot tages from destruction.
 1 The theory of defective electric light wiring was advanced as the
 cause of the fire but it is stated that 1 this could not have been the cause | because the meter was disconnected
 at the close of the season last fall. l The Murphy cottage, which former belonged to R. J. Jodoin of Baltic. ad- l fo fho% destroyed. It was threatened and the furniture was removed but the struc-
 ture was saved and the furniture 1 moved back

DELIVERS SERMON ON
 THE CRUcIFIxIoN SCENE

The usual Good Friday service was. held at Park Congregational church at 10.30 o'clock in the morning and the sermon was delivered by the pas tor, Rev. Samuel H. Howe, D. D. The text was Lord, remember me when thou comest into Thy kingdom, Jesus answered, This day shalt thou ss. ss with Me in Paradise Luke s';4a-
 This is from the Crucifixion Scene said Rev. Dr. Howe. Christ in the midst of thieves and penitents. The sanhedrim got its way. They staged the scene to their liking. They sought to degrade Him by associat- ing Him with thieves. They thought they could tarnish His purity by as sociating Him with the impure They thought He would be degraded by the presence of the indicators, but the flower of purity refused to witker. the sun sIone all the brighter against the evil background.
 But the scene is representative in another sense. The three figures rep i resent the race. The unpenitent, the penitent and Jesus in the midst Here was man malefactor, who 1 saw in advance what the ages have had to see. That there was a king dom against which the gates of Hell | could not prevail and would endure. Behind the disorder and the storm | the moment and beyond the cross was a kingdom of righteousness and truth. l Here is where we fail. We are dis cussfng and despairing almost hope lessly the ultimate outcome of this wild storm of world disaster and look 1 tng to diplomacy and national | strength and big armaments and in vincible batalions like the Corsican and the Teuton and do not see God standing back behind the shadow ! keeping watch above His own.
 But this .nalefactor melted into ! penitence. and a kingdom behind the cross saw the greater age, the re- i versal of the scene, the victom of to- day the victor of tomorrow, this mailed hand holding a scepter that would sway the future of the world
 one who would get His way and the 1 right of way for His chariot of tri-
 umph.
 | And it Is impossible that such faith
 when it is found shall go unrewarded Redemption is a hard task. Creation
 cost God nothing. He creates by 3 1 word, fiat. Redemption cost pair
 and sacrifice and death.
 Our attention has often been focus
 ed on the testimony the incident bears
 on the integrity of the history. That Ecould not have been extemporizet by false historian. No marrow
 minded imposter could have entered
 1t in the narrative. No evil mint
 could have conceived picture SC beautiful. Some things seem to ex.
 ceed the fertile imagination of a TO-
 mancer. The achievements of tn,
 great fade. But this stands out il
 solitary grandeur. This day thou
 shalt be with Me. He spoke thes words of promise and He went ava.
 leading this bruised and broken sou
 into the presence of the Father and
 think the bells of Heaven in full ca
 ralon were rung and all the angel
 bowed in wonder and lifted thei
 voices of loud acclaim
 After this we cannot doubt that tn
 great Master of the world will ge
 His kingdom and reign in it and owe
 1t forever.

MAKES EASTER APPEAL FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF

An Easter appeal for the Near East relief has been sent out in this state and has been received in Norwichy It is hoped by the Norwich committee that a number of local people will feel called upon to respond to the appeal, possibly making their response on the monthly plan which is suggested.
 Norwich is credited so far with about $5,000 contributed to the Near East aid and further contributions are still coming in. The committee sug- gests that any responses to this Easter call may be made through the local treasurer, Mrs. c. D. Sevin, 28 Bliss place, so that Norwich can receive credit for them.
 State Chairman M. W. Jacobus makes his Easter appeal as follows: Hartford, Conn.,. March 29. 1920. Dear Friend:
 The most terrible and appalling suf- fering the world has ever knowr stalks throughout the land where Christ first journeyed and preached the word of God to mankind. From the first Easter day, nearly two thou sand years ago, a sturdy, faithful peo- pie have steadfastly held aloft ths torch of Christianity.
 Today, as for the last five years, bu in most critical way, today this race which inhabits the lands made holy b, Him, faces total extinction through tn, death by starvation of its children. America has borne the torch of lib, erty for all the world. Armenia ha, ] borne the torch of Christianity for al the world. Today it remains for Amer, | lea either to save these guardians O the word of Christ or to allow Moham l mechanism and the organism of tn, near east and the far east to ene1Il | the cradleland of Christianity and il time overflow and blot out the civiliza tion of Europe.
 As you turn toward the promise O the springtime and the renewal of life can you do it with clean heart an, a clear mind without having done !; bit toward the salvation of one smal child of Christ's flock?
 l Five dollars-the price of an Easte nosegay-means food for whoi month, thirty days, for one of thes little ones Can you refuse this? | | there one among us who cannot a least do that much?
 l know you can; more, know yo, will. so
 I enclose a pledge card. Sign an, return to me. The money with it vii be more effective now than six month or one month from now. But eyer five dollars will mean a child save for a month, whenever you can nav |,
 Christ gave His life at this iovo,, time of spring; what will you give i His name? :
 Sincerely yours,
 M. ". JACoBUS.
