THIEF BRINGS BACK

Puts It Where He Found It.

Guilty Conscience Must Have Forced
 Vsndsl to Return Bronze Piece

Inability to dispose of his stolen property without being found out, or else conscience stricken because of the cheap thing he stopped to do. caused the vandal who stole the bronze com memorative tablet from the famous and historic Wolf Den in pomfret, nearly fortnight ago, to return it. unharmed, last Saturday, to the very spot from which it was taken. Dis covery that the tablet bad as mysteri- ously appeared as it disappeared was made last Saturday, and almost i'm. mediately Mrs F. NJ Warner, acting for Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, b. A. F., owner of the Wolf Den property. went after the tablet and brought it to her home, where it re- mains until it is again affixed to the face of the rock forming part of the den.

Stone and bone tools were in common use when white explorers visited the North Pacific, although conner and iron were found almost identical with the tools of tho neo- lithic man found in Europe. Old shell mounds on the Fraser and Thompson rivers reveal many things formerly used by man of the Stone Age.

D. A. K. Members Happy

There is exceeding pleasure among members of the D. A. K. Chapter over the return of the tablet. II may have been that the Col. Daniel Putnam Association, that gave the tablet to the chapter two years ago. may have taken it upon itself to replace it, Ii # had not turned up again. Howevt as the D. 4. k. Chapter members felt that they had a bill of at least $500 staring them in the face for the pur- chase of a new tablet, their joy may be imagined when they learned that the stolen one had been returned
 There is a difference of opinion on the question of the worth of the met al in the tablet. The police say that if the tablet had been melted up, t would not have brought higher than i2 cents a pound, in which case the thief would have received about s6 for his heavy task in uprooting the tablet from its lead foundation and getting it free from the bolts imbed- ded in the rock.
 Replaces Tablet on Rock
 When found the tablet was resting in the very spot from which f had been taken. Aside from a few scratch es which do not mar it's permanent beauty. the tablet Is in as good con- dition today as before il was molested.
 Before the tablet is again securely fastened to the face of the rock at the den, the D. A. K. Chapter plans 10 insure t against theft and any other acts Of vandals. An endeavof will be made to obtain $500 worth of insur- anee, thus protecting the patriotic so- eiety against monetary loss, should the tablet again be disturbed.

What Dr. Cavaleri Thinks About "Revivals"

1 reyiva1s as In everything else in this 1 world.
 "The old style camp meeting was
 wonderful institution in its day be- cause 1t met a need, but that need
 has passed and the old style method
 e camp meeting Is dead. But the
 camp meeting can still be ma6e l live institution to fit the needs of
 the present day by changing It's
 method to the chautauqua plan to
 meet the requirements of an agri-
 cultural, industrial and other kinds of communities, We travel by nov i ing as our forefathers did, but we
 use a different method altogether In
 this day of flying machine, automo- bile. etc. This will explain why
 there are so many failures in holding revival services.
 Speaking of the age of revivals,
 I think the first revival that there
 Is any record of. is the revival con- l dueted by Noah as he proclaimed the | coming of the flood. The second : revival we find was during tho days
 when Moses was preparing the ChiI- 1 dren of IsraAl to come out of Egypt Then we see during their Journey through the wilderness and all through the life of Israel in the land of Palestine, the Jews had their sev- eral seasons of revival during each year, so that the revival is not a modern institution.
 Tn the early part of tho sixteenth century there arose wonderful protestant revival, which meant good deal to Scotland, under the leadership of Wishart, Cooper and Welsh; also In the same century great revival swept through Ire- land, under the leadership of Bruce and Livingston.
 "The great revival that was born in tho first part of the eighteenth century and went over England like q prairie fire, under the preaching of Jotn Wesley and. George Whit field, accomplished so much for her that the students of history of Eng land today are just beginning to realize the wonderful value it was in the saving and making tho Eng fish government what 1t is today among the nations of the earth. RevivaIs . Great Blessing "Revivals in our own land have been a great blessing in making this one of the greatest nations of the world. We are still enjoying tho wonderful results of revival start ed by Jonathan Edwards in the ear ly part of the eighteenth century. and which was followed up in 1740 and 1742 when the revival called 'The Great Awakening,' under the
 mighty preaching of George Whit field. which resulted in building 150 churches and the founding of Prince ton and Dartmouth colleges.
 Then again In 1857 there came a mighty movement led by Charles G. Ffnney that stirred this country to
 ts very depths and eternity alone will tell how much 1t accomplished
 in preparing the- man In the gray and the blue to meet on the carnage field of battle In the days of '61 and '65A About 1870 another great re- vival wave spread over our land led by Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. sanlxey, and so great was the move ment that 1t leaped the ocean and spread all over England.

Now and then we hear of Meth odist or Baptist church holding an old time revival" the kind sam Jones and Sam Small used to hold the kind that Culpepper and Munhall held; and Melvin Trotter and few others hold; the kind that Bob Jones is holding every single blessed day of his life-somehow, somewhere but which aside from one. now and then, here and there. are as scarce as hens teeth.
 Why "revivals" have gone "out of style" it Is hard to say; perhaps religion changes its fashions as well as clothes, gowns and millinery, au- tomobles and carriages and various other things, but 1t Is safe to say that no greater spirit of religion ever ran rampant over earth's broad fields than the old time revival" when shouting" and "experience meetings" and handshaking and a general Christian comradeship existed and a great influx of religious awakening llOWCQ AAAOhbA tAA0 N6AHS Ol NHEiSliolI people while tho sinner was taken within the fold.
 Dr. CavaIerI
 There Is minister In Birmingham who believes in "revivals," not that thero are not others. but this one in particular mention; he holds them in his church and he finds that great good accrues from them; this min ister Is the Rev. Dr. E. E. Cavaleri, pastor of Simpson Methodist Epis- copal church and what he has to say on the subject is interesting, 1t is vital, 1t Is true.
 pr. Cavaleri hasn't lived in Bir- mingham very long, but quite long enough to impress his sterling worth and gentle Christian character upon all those with whom he has come in contact.
 He came to this city on December. l, 1921. being transferred from the Georgia conference of his church, lo- cated at Rossville, Ga, where for three years he had labored and built up what the resident bishop de- Clared was "a great industrial work"
 Prior to that, Dr. Cavaleri was pas tor of two churches in Atlanta, one che Hemphill Avenue Methodist Epis- copRl church, where he served for two years and 8 half and the other was at East Point. where he was pastor for eight years.
 For 15 years Dr. Cavaleri was the assistant secretary of the Railroad Young Mems Christian association at Atlanta, and he lovingly refers to the fact that he numbers among his friends thousands of railroad men many of whom run in and out of Birmingham"
 Revivnls As sold As the Hills"
 When I asked Dr. Cavaleri to give me his opinion about ''revivals" in general and some specific incidents of their efficiency. he said among other things:
 "Revivals are as old as the hills and will continue as long as the hills shall last. In different ages the re- vival has taken on different methods and the successful revival of today is nothing like 1t was generation ago. The reason revivals are tabooed in some quarters is because some people want to use worn-out methods of decade ago instead of using up-to7date and modern meth eds. Principles are eternal and never change, but methods. with each on- coming generation. must change in
