Sunday Morning Talk
What Christianity Is Worth.

Did you ever seriously ask yourself what Christianity is worth to you to you, personally, whether you have openly numbered yourself among it's followers or not? What is it worth to you to have been born in a land like this, with the education, the freedom. the hopes, the outlook, which only that one has made possible? What has it been worth to you to be trained In a home where honor, integrity, and stainless name are counted above purchase?
 What have the teachings, the restraints, the sanctions of Christianity been worth to you in the formation of character, in the ideals of life it has giv- en you, in the hopes which dimly or dearly, reach to earth's boundry and be- yond. What would you take in exchange for all these things. if by the barter every vestige of their influence must pass out of your life, your history and your soul?
 It is well for evry one to take account of stock occasionally, and some quiet day when you are counting up your possessions, ask yourself these questions and see what answers they will bring. Then, when you have honestly set your value upon them, hold to it in word and deed If the church stands for the things you approve support it; if there is a word of God, consult it; if Christ is in- deed the Lord, give Him allegiance and let no harping voices sway you.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE STAMPEDE AZ BULL RUN

A careful survey of the first battle of the Civil war, that of Bull Run, at this distant period gives an amusing aspect to the stampede of the Union army, Seri- ous as it was looked upon in the North at the time In the interim following tha capture of Fort Sumter both sections of the country were collecting as many men as possible. The cry at the North was "On to Richmond !' and at the South, "On to Washington !' The Southern army was gradually working its way north in a threatening attitude, and in the North there was general demand for the army in and about Washington to go to meet them
 Finally, towards the latter part of July, 1861, the Union army advanced. There were slight skirmishes before Bull Run was reached, but at that point the Union army found the Confederate army in great strength. It was not long be- fore there was dash at army. The fighting from the start was furious, and the Union army was unable to with stand the onslaughts of the Confederates and it was not long before the entire Federal army was disorganized and no attempt to rally them was possible.
 The onset of that tumultuous retreat by those who witnessed it was described as terrific. For three miles hosts of
 Federal troops-all detached from their regiments mingled in one disorderly rout-were fleeing along the road. Army wagons, suffers teams and private car riages choked the passage, tumbling against each other amid clouds of dust and sickening sights and sounds. Horses flying wildly from the battlefield, many of them in death agony, galloping at ran- dom forward, joined in the stampede. l Those on foot who could catch them rode

 banks appealed with raised hands to those
 who rode horses. but few, regarded sucf petitions.
 | Then the artillery, such as was saved
 came rumbling along, smashing and over powering everything. The cavalry added | to all these terrors, for they rode dowr footmen without mercy And still the | fight continued It did not slack in tn 1 least until Centerville was reached. Ther,

the sight of the reserve-Miles brigade formed in order on the <lill, seemed somewhat to reasSure the van. But still the teams and foot soldiers pushed on, passing their own camps and leading swiftly for the distant Potomac until for ten miles the road over which the grand army had so lately marched south ward, gay with unstained banners, was covered with fragments of its retreatins forces. shattered and panic-stricken in a single day.
 From the branch route the trains at tached to Hunters division had caught the contagion of the flight and poured in to it's already swollen current an other turbid freshet of confusion and dismay. The teamsters, many of them, cut the traces of their horses and galloped from their wagons. Others threw out their loads to accelerate their flight, and grain, picks and shovels and provisions of every kind lay trapled in the dust for leagues. Thousands of nuskets strewed the route and when some of the fUgtives were ral- lied and induced to xerm into a line there was hardly a man but had thrown away his arms.
 In the general retreat all divisions and all regiments were mingled. Regulars and volunteers shared the disorder alike i Whole batteries were left upon the field, | and the cutting off of others was ordered when the guns had already been brought
 two miles or more from the battle ground. A perfect frenzy was upon almost
 every man. Some cried piteously to be 1 assisted in their helplessness, and others 1 sought to chamber into wagons, the oc-
 cupants resisting them with bayonets. Even the sentiment of shame had gone. | Some of the better men tried to with | stand the rush. and cried out against the flying groups, calling them COW ards, poltroons and brutes" and reviline them for so degrading themselves, espe- l ciallY when no enemy was near, but
 it was no use. Many of the panic-strick. en soldiers did not cease running until
 they had crossed the Potomac bridge tha
 led into Washington. There was, ol
 course, numerous exceptions to the gen.
 eral spirit of fear and frenzy, a striking
 example of which was the New York Zou
 ayes. But the battle had ended in dis
 aster and no single body of men coul, bring order out of chaos.
 l According to Gen. McDowelrs repor
 the federal army's losses were 4S1 kiIle, l and 1041 wounded, while the Confederat
 losses, according to General BealEegardI report, counted up 26S killed and 15
 wounded. An immense quantity of ord nance. ammunition, etc, fell into tn , hands of the Confederates.

AT SAME POINT LAST YEAR,

Congress has gotten almost, but not quite, where it was year ago by the action of the lower house in passing the budget bill, although it is not the same congress. A year ago it will be remembered the previous congress was bending all efforts to put through the budget bill It was likewise also doing it's best to clear up business so that ad- tournment could be- taken for the na- tional conventions Urged by both par ties and included in their platforms was this legislation which had been hanging fire for years. Hopes ran high that 1t might be disposed of soon and the coun- try given the benefit of it in handling the appropriations in the coming short session.
 Whipped Into shape it was passed by
 both houses and sent to President Will

THE CODE BILL.

Thas the administration code bill should call forth much opposition at t1c| hearing given it this we'd, caused no surprise, From the attau;i5n that had been directed 10 it evel before it was presented it was anticipated. In the Leming of a number Ct commissioners the effect is 10 surround the existing commissions and boaris with lot of rcd tape, 10 practically place their work under the control of a commissioner who niay or may not have a knowledge of the wurk and 10 provide for an expensive supervision Of commissions which arc already doing highly shcislr work and certainly furnishing no assurance that the double system of taking care of the state activities would fu-u sl any bet ter or in fact as good service as is LOW heinz obtained
 Much more sympathy might be shown for the code if there had been revealed conditions in connection with the vari- gus commissions that called Tor t. There has been shown no reason for a highiy complicated system such as proposed. There Is no excuse for uuseltfnE the ef- fectiveness Of the existing arrangement and instituting something that will prove detrimental as Dr. Naner, president of the tuberculosis commission stated be- lore the committee that t would in the sase of tuberculosis workers.
 Likewise there is no reason whv the Fiate board of charities should be urn Cd down for an untried proposition that will be more expenses. if that board Is only provided with the same author fly and means that are sought for the new commission. What aeens to be needed is 10 give the present departments credit for what they have done under curtziled authority and give them the support that will be provided for under he code.
 Attention was called at tHa hearing .o the fact that the state ought t7 have a representative Tn touch with tHe ev- penditures of the different camu ssi0ne but inasmuch as the commissions themselves are representative of the state. and named by the governor. that guEht to be pretty close contact.

FISHING LICENSE.

Fishermen throughout the state are bound 10 be interested in the bill before the legislature which would require the taking out of a license in order to fish on the inland waters of the state. The idea is to put the fishermen on the same basis as the hunters. The bill if passed will become effective. next January and licenses costing a dollar, including reg
 sration fee, will be good for one year. Persons so licensed would of course be subject to the restrictions and conditions provided ny law and violators of the law would be subject to a fine of not more than ten dollars and the loss of the years lixnse.
 Youthful fishermen, or at least those under IT, would not be required to take od a license. Non resident would be obliged to pay T fee of S2.25 including registration except those aliens and non residents owning property in the state which is assessed at $500 or over. In such a case they will be able to obtain a license at the same figure as residents and the members of their family will have the same privilege
 The purpose of this legislation is tc ! ..-n and propagation of fish in the wa ters 3f the state. The license money is to he turned over to the state board ot fisheries and game for that purpose eacf month an dit is figured by those who are interested in the bill that something i like S750OO would be provided for sucl i purposes.
 In the bill it is stipulated that thu
 rights of no person owning real estatt | in Connecticut or any members of thei ! family. to fish upon waters owned O. 1 leased by them are affected
