THE LIVING GOD.
Every Judge was warrior and re-
ligious leader who gained his power by
emphasis upon renewed loyalty to Je-
hovah that swept aside the weakening
and divisive cult !gof Canaan. Moral
enthusiasm was the basis of every ad-
vance. 1t was that same passion of de-
votion to Gods ideals of brotherhood
that sent our boys crusading across the
Atlantic in the great war. God was
never dead however much there might
be reason for thinking it in the op-
pressions that made their life burden.
Some strong mans heart would be
touched by the Spirit of Jehovah and
kindled into flame. He of the flaming
heart would kindle others. Then in the
hot fires of their devotion shackles
would be melted from their limbs and
as unfettered freemen they would pro-
coed to work out their destiny under
their new liberty. And out of such adj
ventures in righteousness God is able to
build new land or a new world.

know in this world. Suppose the name
of Washington should cease to appeal
to the patriotism of our youth or Lin
coins no longer call for brotherhood
then would their death be terrible. Is
rael had lost both their leader and his
light. 1t is this period that the book
of Judges describes with its introduc-
ton running to 3:6. the body of the
book that tells the stories of the Judges
from Othniel to Samson and the ap-
pendix from chapter II to the end. 1t
is continuous story of sin, suffering,
repentance, deliverance, peace and then
the old round is repeated so that the
most common phrase IN the book is
"The children of Israel did again that
which was evil"
THE LAwLEsS LAND.
Israel was band of wandering no.

crossed and climbed the hills that were
the backbone of the land. This ridge
was never lost. But many of the cities
were unconquered, the Philstine CO.
allition along the coast persisted as a
powerful foe until the days of David
and at the time of the lesson the Plain
of Esdraelon was unconquered as was a
strip between judah and Ephraim Man

sions of Judah, Samaria, Galilee and
Perea were forecast in the settlement.

THE LONELY ROAD. 20,
Two figures walked along the loneli-
est road that history holds. We can
face their footsteps and their direction
but can only imagine the feeling of
utter loneliness that was in their hearts
on that early Easter day for their Lord
was dead. They probably had seen Him
die and had heard the tramp of the
guard in the Garden. The very light
of their lives had gone as they walked
and were sad. And the cause had failed
with the death of the Leader. Then
strange rumors had perplexed them for
reports that He had risen were bruited
about the streets.
THE ILLUMINED ROAD.
So busy were they they scarce no.
ticed another JOIN them. Why should
anyone come TO such common, every
day pair as Clopas and his comrade?
They were not of the Twelve nor i'm
portant anywhere. But they were lovers
of Jesus in sadness, disappointment
and perplexity and such are the mag
net that draws the Lord. Then history
was unfolded before their understand

ing ard they saw the principle of sac
rifice running thru all life. Johns Wis
ion was of Lamb slain from the foun-
dation of TIE world revealing sacrifice
as fundamental in the character of God
and man. They were thrilled with the
sight and their perplexity and sadness
began to vanish in the correct under
standing of Gods work in His world.
THE JoYFILLED ROAD.
They urged him to tarry with them
for always our will is free and Jesus
forces Himself upon no one. Then the
strange sense of familiarity was ex-
planned for as He broke the bread they
knew Him and JOY filled their hearts.
1t was the recognized Christ that caus-
ed the change. Like the Doctor in Red
and black who wrote, THE town was
empty but now IT'S full if not another
person comes tonight So their word
was 'full'' because Christ was IN 1t.
And IN that new sense of JOYOUS COM
radeship they made that same road the
path of shared joy and way of service
as they leaped from the table and ran
on their journey for others.

POLICE QUESTION MANY
 ON DIAMOND ROBBERY

One "interview" after another follow ed through Wednesday night and Thurs day in the effort of the local police and the Pinkerton officer here to solve the 1000 diamond robbery at the Bliss jewelry store Wednesday afternoon. Pos sibly a dozen persons in all were inter viewed and the impression went abroad that some progress had been made al though the police were not willing to ad- init that they had any one in the suspect class as yet.
 It is understood that at least one red haired man was brought before Clifford Wilson for identification. but MT Wilson could not identify him, although, 1t s understood he is positive he could iden- tify the three men who robbed his store if they are ever brought before him again.
 While much sympathy is felt for Mir Wilson and the firm in their big loss, I is felt that the robbery might easily have been turned into a murder if the three men had been detected at the time and l an attempt had been made by the lner in the store to stop, them. It is the gen. eral belief that the three men wer; armed and that they would, not have hes itated to shoot to kill if they had been interrupted in their work of robbery.

WARNING AGAINST BOGUS
 HOLY CROSS COLLECTORS

Rev. William A. Keefe on Thursday evening issued a warning to all the peo- pie in Norwich and the eastern section of the state to beware of bogus collectors for the Holy Cross drive for funds. Fa- ther Keefe has had several reports that bogus collectors have called at num- Der of homes. People have called at the rectory and told Father Keefe that men have hired rooms of them and have used his name to try to borrow money on.
 Father Keefe has also had reports of q man operating in the western part of the state as a priest giving the name of Father Hogan" and buying goods and giving a bogus check and receiving change. Another man is securing sub scriptions for Catholic magazines who is not authorized to do so Father Keefe warns all people to make sure that they do not subscribe to a magazine unless certain that the solicitor is all right. He also warns people not to give money for the drive to anyone / the following committee, J. J. Desmond, Thomas F. Shea, Attorney, Edward T. Burke and Rev. Edward J, Plunkett for the Nor wich section and only to Rev J. J. Me Cabe of Jewett City TOT that place Wind ham county has taken the precaution to protect the people by using a special subscription blank.
 The quota for the eastern part of the state in the drive is $15000 of which Norwich is to raise S4,OOO. Norwich has already secured about half of her quota and the proportion for the rest of the section is about the same. Checks for i $25 to $50 have been coming in through the mails to Father 'Keefe and the solici
 tors also have been doing an excellent
 work Many have made pledges an( 1 others have ssignified the intention of do | ing the same.
