Sues for S1,O0O
 and Gets S11.71

Nathan shipior was awarded SIC damages and interest amounting to S1.71 by Judge John J. Walsh of the Court of Common Pleas in a decision handed down today, in a suit brought by him for damages of $1,0OO against Janses Krojnyck for breach of an agreement.
 The defendant agreed to rent a store in Fairfield for a period of four years at $25 a month. After the agreement was made he purchased stock for the store from a man in Bridgeport named Kane. placing a de- posit of $500 on a bill for $500. Later krojnyck refused to give him the store, claiming that he was going to use it himself. Kane refused to re- turn the $500 deposited, and suit to recover $1.OOO was brought by the plaintiff.
 In his decision Judge Walsh referred to the retaining of the $500 by Kane, as questionable, stating that it was a question whether he had power to retain the money. The S10 ordered to be paid to Shipior was the money he deposited when the rental agree ment was made.

DR. DAY BASES
 SERMON ON NOVEL

Tt is not often that 2 passage of Scripture is printed as part of the titie of a great novel," said Dr. Day in his sermon yesterday. Acts 22:2S reads, With a great sum obtained I this freedom This Freedom is the title Of a novel by MT. Hutchin- son in which he has shown what great things he can do, and suggests no less how great things he has just missed doing. But I am not here to dis cuss with you the literary or tech niea1 merits of this novel. It is with great difficulty that the preacher and the novelist are incarcerated in the same person, and find expression in the same book: Rosalie, the new woman in This Freedom achieves newness but loses her soul In this book We are confronted with some of the most important and thrilling problems of this particular time.
 Self realization will not be found in the freedom to fulfill desires that are only temporary at the cost of ob- legations that abide. So the heroine of this novel sits in the midst of her cess, apparent self realization were hers, and yet when she came to the test she discovered she had not found the realization that she desired. In events are packed into a few chap ters. In the same way, in this book disaster comes after disaster as ono child after another reveals the char
 
 in a home without the personal ade- quate contribution of the mother. Rosalie discovers that whatsoever woman soweth that shall her children also reap. She cries, This is my tragedy, not the children's fault. This is not perfectly presented dra- naatical1y,' said Dr. Day, but it goes to the bottom of human life.'
 There is only one way of life,' declared DT. Day, although there are two ways that bid for our life. Hu- man selfishness and passion are ai- ways saying, Do you want to be free? If you do, insist that you do as you like Jesus says, I am the way. It is not freedom to do as you like, but to do I like. Self-real- ization is in following Me Jesus told the way of self realization-ths great paradox of the ages It is not the way of Herod.- it is the way Of the Christ and it involves everything that is hard and difficult; 1owliness of mind and not pride; not self assertion but meekness; mercy and not ruth 1essness; peace and not strife mak- ing; persecution and not popularity. The discovery that the law of life is sacrifcia1 love is His contribution. Jesus was perfect self-reaization be- cause a perfect example of sacrifice as the Fundamental law of life"

SETH ANNIVERSARY
 SERVICE AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The history of a small church. with
 a membership of S1 people but which
 was destined to become one of the
 strongest and most infiuencia1 re- | ligious institutions in the city was re- | lated by Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr.,
 at the 69th anniversary service Of the | First Presbyterian church held yester- | day morning.
 bers of the First Presbyterian church, formerly attended the old South Con- gregationa1 church but in 1853, came 1 their pastor, Rev. Nathaniel Hewitt, | to a little old school house on State street, between Broad and Lafayette streets where they held the first formal | service on Oct. g. Rev. MT. Hewitt continued pastor for nine years, when he was succeeded by Dr. Horace G. H1nsda1e who remained 15 years. During the latter part of 1874 the school house which had been recently refurnished, was burned to the ground. Several gifts were solicited from wealthy members of the organization and the present building at the corner
 Of State street and Myrtle avenue was begun.
 After the resignation of Rev. MT. lHinsdale, Rev. Henry A. Davenport the church. Following a splendid term of over twenty-five years, MT. Davenport with band of First Pres byterian church members, formed the Peoples church on Laurel avenue. Upon MT. Davenport's departure, Dr. George F. Pentecost was in charge for
 short time, after which Rev. John cLarenRichardson was called. He wisely and successfully served for eight years but he was suddenly taken i'll and died in January, 1917. Since that time Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr, has been pastor of the church. In the 69 years it has been established the treasury fund has increased from a few thousand to $40,000.

activities On the evening of the shoot ing. Schneider, who is only 21 years old. revealed that he had heard the shots, which ended the lives of the rector and Mrs Mills and that he saw two men and a woman running from the scene. He stuck to his story for hours. Finally, he broke down and named his companion as the actual slayer, afterwards putting his statement into writing and signing 1t.
 After completing his final state ment Schneider was confronted with the youth he had named. He accused the youth to his face of doing the sh ooting.

Other men can teach us how to

But TREY cannot swim for us they
cannot play golf for US, and they can

We all employ great deal of

But these''used' thoughts, while we
