 tf He said the courts which have been is- suing injunctiops against striking labor organizations are courts of ineuuitv," instead of courts of equity. He declared that otgahized labor is asking for moro and would continue to ask for more" He recommended that organized labor strive for modification of the Volstead act in- stead of trying to repeal the 18th amend ment. He described the congressional farm b!oc as financial bloc"
 Every labor organization in Connecticut was represented at the meeting. The railroad brotherhoods. which are not df- flisted with the A. F. of L.. had delegates present and ill the forum session they ask cd about the policy of the A.

 United Congregational Church,
 At the morning service at the United Congregational church the pastor Rev, Alexander R Abbott, spoke upon The Meeting of Faith and Fact. In brief he spose as follows:
 We too often make the mistake of get ting too near the resurrection, as we do when!we view a new type of art from too near point. Sometimes one needs great distances to get the sense of. great reali- ties; this is true of the resurrection
 Men had their beliefs, and disbeHefs m the days prior to Christianity regarding immortality. Even in the Corinthian church the doubt was expressed How can the dead oA raise1!'' But this is the experience thay had: that their hopes and aspirations and faith met in the fact of the continued existence of Jesus. It was the sublime meeting of faith and fact.
 Two things we should observe: first that every fact Is monotonous. sordid. sad and unintereSting unless it is pre- cedad by faith. If they. will not hear Noses and the prophets. neither will they be persuaded if one rise from tho dead" The great facts of life are not conta gious, unless men have Nspir1d toward them. bel.cved in them. worked for them.

Trinity Methodist Episcopal.

In h-s sermon Sunday morning at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church the pastor, Rev. Robert L. Roberts, -Ph, D.. preached upon The Resurrection of the Dead and set himself to answer three questions: What is man? What is death?
 What is resurrection? Man was shown
 to be neither body nor spirit but a union
 of both. He Is an embodied spirit. Not
 part of his essential nature. He is a
 duplex creature. and can never be any thing else and be a human being It IS
 this union that makes him lnan-differs
 him from pure spirits, makes him a new
 order in creation. He is the apex of ma
 terial creation now. where it blends with both worlds He is spirit plus a hodi continues 10 be human being
 Physical death is simply separation of these two factor-body and spirit These
 are his two component parts. Death sepr arates the essential elemeuts-Eood body good spirit left, but man as union Of both gone '''''-.'.' '-..''.-- -..t--,,.
 Ressurrection-wha is it? Foundation of Christianity? Yes. but what does it mean in an age of science? Spirit do64 not die. The old body is not raised that would bs a .calamitX contradic- l t5on of sense. science, scripture Then 1 wSat comes back from the dead? What I 5 meant by resurrection? Briefly, reSur- 1 1ection of the dead is the reconstitut.n .ng o' the human being destroyed by death bringing back into existence that which

Unanimous Condemnation Of
Rathenau Murder by Reich
stag Reassuring.

The assassination of DR.. Walter
Rathenau. German minister of for
eign affairs. has left the German
Embassy stan here extremely de-
pressed. Ambassador Wiedfeldt. in
denying himself to the press, has
let IT be known that he hesitates
to speculate on the consequences
of the tragedy.
Receipt of an official cablegram
from the Berlin foreign office yes
terday merely confirmed press dis
patches and gave no hint as to
who would be chosen to succeed
the murdered minister.
That the assassination foreshsd-
owed a Royalist uprising similar
to the Kapp coup was thought Inn
probable by embassy officials here
because Of the apparently unanf-
nous condemnation of the crime by
the Reichstag. Some hope was TAX
en- in the cabled abstract of Chan
ceIlor wirth's remark that the
work of international reconciliation
should not be discontinued by this
crime. as such work meant the sal
