Making America thoroughly Chris
tian is the most important task that
Confronts patriotic Americans at this
moment Our situation as nation
has given US strategic position that
is unsurpassed in molding the nations
of the earth. Unless as a people we
are at heart Christian, then we will
fail to fulfill the purpose that Jeho-
vah had in giving us the pre-eminent
POSITION that we hold today. No one
who has studied the providential
events that have helped to make our
nation great can doubt that God in
His program for the land we love
predestined, concealed and reserved
guided its development SO that He
could make America a great Christian
nation. President Harding. recog-
nizing the place and part that Chris
tIans ought to fill. recently called
upon the Christian people who make
up the body of our churches for as
sistance and guidance. He expressed
the message of this lesson when he
said that whatever may stimulate
them (the churches) to greater 'ac-
ognition of the concern of Christian
citizenship with the administration of
cur public affairs. must necessarily be
Of service to the nation.
Our greatness does not come from
our fertile fields, but from the men
who cultivate them. 1t does not come
from our immense forests. but from
those who scientifically use the great
trees of the land. 1t is not the vast
ness of our land nor the riches of its
mines or oil wells that has given us
the eminent position we occupy. but
the men who develop them. They

bus discovered the land or the pill

flag, revealed in our wars for freedom
and manifested in our service for 9TH

inherited that spirit of freedom, JUS

ers, who, when they landed upon
American shores dedicated their lives
and labor to Gods glory and the well
fare of humanity. In all their en-
deavors they were inspired by His
word and the desire to obey Him.
National blessings, according to the
psalmists, are due to the rulership OF
God. The unknown writer of this

Gets Compensation
 For Fatal Disease
Supreme Court Decides Important Point in Case of Dead
 Worker

The Connecticut supreme court, in decision handed down Wednesday, finds no error in the case of Mary E. DriscOll against the Jewell Betting Company and others, which was an appeal of the defendants from a find ing and award of the compensation commissioner of the First district. Judge Maltbie in the superior court had affirmed the award and the de fendants appealed.
 Mrs. DriscolIs brother, named Randall, contracted pneumonia while in the service of the defendants, and died on April 7, 1920. An autopsy showed that an injury received during his work was the exciting cause of the disease. The commissioner found that Mrs Driscoll was partial de pendent on her brother and that his deCease was the result of injury in the course of his employment with the belting company.

As she was disappearing through the portal of the building which was to be he rprison she turned and her eyes met mine. Her face was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature was finely chiseled and eXquis- ite, her eyes large and lustrous and her head surmountcd by a mass ot coal black, waving hair, caught loosely into a strange yet becoming couture. Her skin was of a light reddish cop per color, against which the crimson glow of her checks and the ruby Ot her beautifully mOlded lips shonc with a strangely enhancing effect.
 She was as destitute of clothes as the green Martians who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, nor could any apparel have enhanced the beauty of her perfect and symmetrical figure.
 As her gaze rested on me her eyes opened wide in astonishment and she made little sign with her free hand !; sign which I did not, of course, un- derstand. Just a moment we gazed upon each other, and then the look of hope and renewed courage which had glOrified her face as she discov- cred me, faded into one of utter dejec- tiOn, mingled with loathing and con- tempt. I realized I had not answered her signal, and ignorant as I was of Martian customs, intuitively felt that she had made an appeal for succor and protection which my unfortunate ignor- ance had prevented me from answer ing. And then she was dragged out of my sight into the depths of the deserted edifice.

 His conduct has been unethical and unbecOming a judge. Shortly alter the prohibition law went into effect, from the bench, when the prisoners court room, Judge Barnes remarked in a loud fone to C.

 The Senate finance committee, which began it's tax hearings May 9, had under consideration first the Smoot sales tax bill but although early sentiment appeared to favor it, leaders said 1t probably would be op- posed strongly in both the House and Senate The excess profits tax, it was said, probably will be repealed as suggested by Secretary Mellon.

Der of violators of the liquor law i'll December, 1920, in consequence ot the urgent inSlStenCe Ot Mayor LerOu, Judge Barnes appeared as attorney before the United States commission CT upon behalf of several of these persons sentenced by him, when charged with violation of the federal law. One of those for whom he appeared, one Louis Mintz, had been presented in the city court on 10 dit ferent charges within the preceding two and half years, and on Decem- Der s, 1920, had plead guilty to a charge of bribing witness in the city court and paid fine of $Ioo imposed for the otfense."
 The senator charged that Judge Barnes had repudiated his jurat on four different papers i'll a probate case, while under oath.
 Senator Graham, arising from his seat directly adjoining that of Senator Brown, demanded to know from the latter if he had not originally agreed to support a Mr. Gardner for judge and had switched to Libby. He con | tinued his attack on Senator Brown Il can remember when his father who was a Sunday school teacher and much of politician, gave $Io or $15
 to people in politics and told them he didn't care what they did with it.

 Gardiner had withdrawn as a candl- date for judge.

One of the most bitter rows of the present General Assembly took place this week when Senator Allyn l.. Brown of Norwich, who has recently been appointed to the Superior Court bench, rose in his seat to attack former Senator John H. Barnes, also of Norwich, who was candidate tor re-appointment as city court judge ot Norwich. Judge Barnes, according to gossip about the capitol corridors was slated for the Superior Court berth that Brown landed and the at tack by Brown was due to old time political pickering back in Norwich Brown won out, however, and Judge Barnes was defeated. Judge Barnes while a senator and representative, was one of Labor's best friends in the legislature, and in fact his attitude to- ward Labor in the Shore Line trolley strike, was one of the arguments Brown used in bringing him up to Scorn.

 Within few days, he said, he intend ed to call a meeting at which plans for the organization of the parade would be discussed. The prompt and overwhelming response to his advertisement, he said, was proof of the strength of the feeling of resentment aroused by the Volstad act.

 In the Io months the United States was in the war, he said, 48,ooo men were killed in battle or died of wounds In the same period, he continued, there were oI,ooo killed on the highways of the United States.
