The Source of Strength

The Source of Strength
 Tn this busiest Of an ages, the twentieth century. tremendous effects are being shown, great deeds being accomplished When we sec iniqui- tous plans made by certain numbers of men to kih, subIugate and enslaYe their fellow men, and when we see these same plans Overthrown, see right and truth overcoming trans eending brute strength and faisIty, we are very apt, for lack of discrimi- nation. Co fasten our eyes upon the outstanding predominant figures of those among our fellow men who have been successful leaders of the forces Of right against those Of wrong. We make heroes of them. we all but worship them and to 6 certain ex- tent this is right; honor should be given where honor is due. But-and this is q very large but-Where did the great leaders, the brilliant states men. the indomitable warriors obtain this tremendous surplus of wisdom, intuition and courage which made them in the crises. stand out above their fellows.
 The answer comes Co us simply and as always convincingly in God s own words. "I girded thee though thou hast not known me. and again sFor I know the thoughts that l think toward you saith the Lord. thoughts of peace and not of evil, Co give you an expected end"
 Could anything be more wonderful, more beautiful than the thought which this engenders2 That great wars. great eataclysms. destrueuons by fire, water, plaques have all been foreseen. prepared for. and that for each dragon of unrighteousness, the conquering knight has been 'Rirded. equipped to safely lead Gods children to His expected end
 And as in great events, so in small. All of us have watched certain friends who have been called upon to bear heavy unexpected burdens. We see them displaying courage and strength of character. high-minded- ness we never thought they possessed. We ourselves have passed through some fiery ordeal and have said after ward. "l never should have believed that could have borne that
 But they and We never would have displayed the courage had we not been 'girded" by the always loving and watehful Father.
 So let Us even in this late day, thousands of years since the words of our text were spoken. render honor and gratitude where they are due. Let us each day of our lives. as our great Captain .eirds" Us for the bat. tie. or the seemingly unimpartant work which we have to do. give Co Him a full comprehending love and knowledge of the source of all strength. all righteousness.

fr fhe last two thou sand years only fourteen total eclipses of the sun have bear seen from the territory which is now New England Of these i've have occurred since the landing or the Pilgrim Fathers The other twelve were seen hy the Indians and the ~ild animals. On the 24th of this month the people of Connecticut are to have their last chance to see nature grand est spectacle. If any of the babies born this year live Co be hundred years old they may see the next one which comes in 2024.
 Almost everybody knows that the neon goes around the earth about once a "moonth.a On these monthly jour neys it sometimes comes squarely be- tween the sun and earth. If the moon were a little bigger than the earth, tts shadow would cover the whole earth and there would be a total eclipse ey- anywhere. but the moon is only trac- ton uf the size of the earth, and since the sun is enormously bigger than the neon, d long taperiug shadow IS east by the moon in the direction opposite the sun When the moon gets between the sun and earth. the tip of that shadow just touches the earth, and We have q total eclipse of the sun.
 < good model of the whole thing can be made by letting a croquet ball rep resent the earth. and a slim black bug gy whip the shadow of the moon. Once in a while the tip of that whip brush es across the eroquet ball. and if ii were inked il would leave a black mark. That mark would be the shadow path of the eclipse and ev-

 Prominenees
 On the very edge of the moon and sometimes nearly all around it, are seen pink or red patches CT knobs of light. These are very irregular m shape and so small that if Is easy to miss them. They are vast clouds of flaming hydrogen. reaching sometimes height of more than two hundred thousand miles.
 Stars
 During a total eclipse it is ordinar- ily dark enough so that the brighter stars may be seen. Within forty de- grees of the sun there will be about twenty-five stars which should be seen. Considerably above and Go the left of the sun will be the first magnitude star Altair. Nearer the sun will be a number of stars not so bright. By far the most interesting objects in this class will be a group of nine of to the right and above the sun. The three brightest ones near together near the top of the group will be the plan cts Venus, Mercury and Jupiter. Not again in the lifetime of any person now living, will there be so good an to see these three planets so close together.
 Of course there will be bright stars visible in other parts of the sky. but it will not be well to waste any of the precious moments hunting for stars which can be better seen at night, but be sure and look for the planets.
 Comet.
 Comets are sometimes seen at the time of an eclipse. During the eclipss of 1882 a comet appeared which had never been seen before and has moi been seen since so far as known.

 The states case was based on the evidence of two men. Leon Bineoskt and John Andrews of the Robert Hridgeman detective agency. Hart ford Their testimony of buying liquor from BEurch on two occasions. the evenings of November p and B last. was concluded last week Thurs day before court adjourned.

Who Told The Truth

The iury's only serious problem. it it was serious. was Co decide whether or uot the two detectives employed by the state were telling the truth. lf the Jury believed these witnesses they could not help but find the defendant euilty. as actual sales by ,he defend ant were testified Co by each of the two men.
 The arguments of counsel for the defense were aimed almost wholly at trying to diseredit the states wisness- es in the eyes of the jury The yer dict of guilty. which the Jury brought in. was evidence that they did deheve that the two detectives had made the purchases they testified to.
 The severity of the sentence ereat- cd something of sensation and was generally discussed during Wednes- day afternoon
