DR. WRIGHT TELLS STORY
 OF REcoYERY DE KAs

Rev. pr. P. C. Wright of New York, who supplied the pulpit Sunday at the Central Baptist church, spoke at the evening service of the recovery of the watch and chain that was stolen from him several months ago by holdup men in White Plains and told his congrega- tion that he believed it had come back to him in answer to his prayer and his faith that God would restore the stolen watch. which was a gift from the Gen. tral Baptist church, and which Dr. Wright said he truly prized as his most precious possession.
 Dr. Wright apologized for bringing so much that was personal into his sermon but said that his experience had been so rare and remarkable that he felt he must tell it. From the time that it was taken oft of his pocket by the two negro holdup men on that night in White Plains, Dr. Wright said he had always felt he would get it back. When he opened his Bible on the morning after the holdup the first verse that met his eye was. Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith believing, it shall be done unto you. That had seemed like a message to him, he said, and he prayed for the recovery of the watch not for his own satisfaction in getting | back this precious reminNer of the friendship of the Norwich church, but for the glory of God and a proof of the everything power of faith.
 Going on to relate the circumstances ot the recovery, he said he had learned that the negro who had the watch appeared at pawnbrokers in New Rochelle ant asked if he could get $l00 on the watch The pawnbroker answered that S1oC seemed all right and that if the mar would come back in a short time it could | be arranged. It was arranged, by having policeman on hand who promptly start | ed to arrest the man. The holdup man however, wasn't to be taken easily, anC when the policeman took hold of his shir
 he tore loose, leaving the shirt in tht l hands of the policeman, and taking to hi heels. The officer fired two shots befor, the man came to a halt and surrendered At the conclusion of relating these in 1 cidents, Dr. Wright invited C. D. Noyes chairman of the board of managers, tt come to the platform, where he told MT ] Moves that he felt he must return tn, check which the church had given hin | to buy another watch.
 MT. Moves was taken by surprise bu responded at once that this was imp6s
 sible and he reminded pr. Wright ha l he had been advised that he might bu, 1 q new watch CT anything else that ht l thought fit, when this present was mad | to take the place of the watch present | ed thirteen years ago but stolen by tn
 holdup men. It would be impossible |
 return the money to the contributor i anyway, because no record of them la,
 been kept and many of the contribution
 had been made anonymously. The onl,
 thing for Dr. Wright to do was t3 keeI
 the watch and the check and be doub,:
 assured of the lasting love and affection 1 of the church.
