Rev Clarence D. Gallup, D. D.. of Providence, was the speaker at the Sun day evening service at the Central Bap- tist church. Dr. Gallup. who Is a form CT Norwich man, took his text from the 24th verse in the 9th chapter of Genesis: And Enoch walked with God, and he wasnot, for God took him."
 We heard great deal during the war about morale, said Dr. Gallup, the morale ,of the armies, the morale of the people at home, and 1t was this morale that caused hundreds of posters to be published. What was this morale? It was the tip-top of condition of things Today with the war over we need this same morale in religion, in our indus trial life and in the world. problems. Morale is to do ones best. The working man needs it and also the employer and business man.
 Tn tie church we need a greater con sciousness of God, higher realm of christianity. This is coming and when 1t comes 1t will be the solution of many of the world problems. What the world needs is the higher Christian morale.

GAS LIohT RATES ARE
 REDUCED IN HARTFORD

Announcement of the action of the Hartford City Gas Light Company ini reducing it's rate to customers has led | to many inquiries as to whether the l Hartford Electric Light Company would effect some reduction of a | similar nature says the Hartford Cou- rant. Officers of the latter have been asked frequently within the past few days as to this possibility and have indicated that, while there is every desire to place rates on a lower basis at the first possible opportunity the time has not yet come.
 Vice-presidentS amuel Ferguson of the company gave the following state ment:-
 "The gas company has beaten us to" it and we wish to offer our hearty congratulations to the management who have effected the economies which make a reduction in gas rates possible. and to the customers who enjoy the results.
 ..1-~,,aaor T7--~ari,7cl7 of the gas company pointed out the two princi- i'd. L-s.. ,-l--ui4 I.ldiut. 4 reduction possible, namely, radically lower cost of principal raw material oil, and in- creased volume of business, in con trast to most New England compan- ies.
 Unfortunately, these two factors are not as yet in the operations of our factory, as the excessive increase in transportation charges made last 1 fall keeps up the price of coal, in spite l of a slight reduction in the cost at | the mines so that the cost per ton delivered is higher in 1921 than in l 1920.
 "Asis well known our volume of e45,, h. .-,1-r l fected by the industrial depression, so l that, with the reduced output due to l factories operating on part time we are notable to operate on part time, we 1 its normal efficiency.
 ''We are making every endeavor to- ward lowering costs which when ac- | eomplished will mean a reduction in rates for two reasons-one, the es- 1 tablished policy of the company dur l ing it's entire history, and the other because the management feels that the 1 public is entitled to the very best that can be done in return for the splendid and unique sport given last fall, when 1t was necessary to put an increase of rates into effect.
 Tt has been the history of every advance in rateE elsewhere that the full proportionate increase in revenue
 
 rates, due to a cultailment in use of the product by the public. For in- stance, there was no gain in revenue to the trolley company when the fare l was increased from cents to cents and the best record which we found III the case of electric companies was a gain in revenue of 75 per cent. of the calculated amount.
 Last fall our gain in revenue was 100 per cent. of the calculated amount a result which places the company in a position of heavy responsibilities to feciprocate at the earliest possible opportunity and we take this opportu- nity to assure our customers that we realize what is due them in return for their magnificent support and thai we are making every endeavor to re- duce our costs, and increase our bu- siness to a point that will make ir pes sible for us to give our customers more for their money than at pre- sent.
