Why are ye so fearful? How is it thai ye have no faith? And he marveHed be- cause of their unbelief.-Mark 4: 4Oi 6: s. Some day, when our pilgrimage journey
 is over, When lessons are past and the school
 ing is done, When We share in the glory the Father
 has giv, u. Through ages unnumbe-ed, to Jesus his
 Son; When we shaH look back on the way He
 hath led us And think of the fears and the dan
 gers thereof; When we shall remember how oft He
 delivered. How many his mercies. how faithful
 his love; An. then We shall marvel that ever we
 doubted. That ever our faith was so weak and
 so small, That ever our eyes were so blind to his Our ts:ar.s 50 unready to answer his

 wonder That .w.N were so slow to believe all hat W were so slothful in claiming his So e4aIe;ess of sharing the joy of our Annie Johnson Flint. in Sunday School Times

 M c. 4. MEETING TOPIC

A real interest developed al the week ly Get Together at the local Y. M. C. A, Sunday afternoon when a goodly number of men assembled.
 After the singing of several popular hymns. the Scripture reading and prayer a discussion was conducted on the topic, Reasons and Excuses.
 The general secretary opened the dis cussion and many of those in the audi ence participated. The following are some of the points that were Wrought out: That the difference between req son and an excuse is oftinfes the differ ence between honesty and the opposite of honesty. Pilate was quoted as one who endeavored to give reason for his action in giving up Christ to be cruci- fled. but his reason was only an excuse The reasons given by those of Bible story who refused the invitation to the banquet were very f1imsy, and nothing but foolish excuses. At times when men are asked to cooperate to crush an evil in the community, they refuse and attempt to give reason for their refu- sal. when really it is an excuse and poor one at that. Oftimes when man is asked to perform a duty in the church or Sunday school, he begs off and at

PLAINFIELD CITIZENS TO HEAR
 HIGH SCHOOL PLANS EXPLAINEI
(Special to The Bullet


 PIainfeId, Oct. 1O-Tuesday evening at g o'clock at the Community house in Plainfeld the citizens are to gather to consider plans for a new high school building for the town. ome years since Plainfeld established a high school in school building at Central Village and the students now registered for courses number 151. The quarters are crowded, so much so, in fact, that numbers of other young people who would attend the high school if accommodations for them were available are excluded.
 This situation has not escaped that attention of the school officials and oth- CT thinking citizens of the town, so steps have been taken under which plans for a proposed building have been prepared and this plan will be presented and ex- plained at Tuesday evenings meeting by William T. Towner of New York, the ar chiect who prepared the plans for the Mt. Pleasant school at Norwich
 At the week end John B. Chapman. superintendent of schools in PlainfeId. said that he is anxious that every inte- rested citizen make special effort to get out to Tuesdays meeting. The opinions of all citizens are sought on an important matter and no better place to express these opinions will be presented than at this meeting. The discussions undoubted- ly will be of a preliminary nature, as nothing really definite relative to the proposed structure has been decided.
 The plans call for a two-story brick building to be erected. preferably at Central Village, the geographical center of the town of Plainfeld.

 Membership Letter
 The following letter regarding several 7rombent issues now before the public, in whicI they are clearly explained, has been sent to the members of the Norwich chamber of commerce by Secretary John J. O'Rourke:
 Equitable Assessment
 The conclusions of your committee, aft CT much study, are as follows:
 An equitable system of real estate as- sessments prevails, which should be re- vised and based upon fairness to all | property owners. The assessors are with out proper tools with which to do their work efficiently. The first requisite is an assessment map. Such a map should be | drawn to scale; indicate the areas and owners of all real estate property within the confines of the town of Norwich This would entail an accurate survey of 1 all property at an estimated cost oi 1 S25,00O to S30,000. This price is pro- hibitive at present. though it would justi- | fy the expenditure in lew years. As an alternative, the American Air Ser vice Corporation of Springfield, Massa- chusetts, have signifed a willingness tC | produce the basis of an assessment map hy taking aerial pictures, covering the entire area of the town at an estimated cost not to exceed $5,000 "Tracings will 1 be furnished in sections, of the mos thickly settled area on scale of fifty feet to the inch, and tracings in sections of the balance of the town on scale ot two hundred feet to the inch All trac ings will show buildings, walls, fences woods, roads, etc. These tracings would be accurate to within one per cent. of 2 precision survey" The assessors could than have plotted on these maps al available boundaries, the records ot which are incomplete. The result would indicate to what extent addition data would be required to make a complete assessment map. In the minds of youl committee. this is the desirable first stel to the requirement of an efficient assess ment map at minimum cost
