righteousness. He met a society of sham prosperity, and sham culture, and parade of sham religion, with the bitter invective of denuncia- tion.
 Hosea was no less righteous or insistent, but in his preaching to his age there was note of tender ness and love. He saw the sinful as erring and wandering from the right way. He put himself in the place of the Almighty, choosing people and loving them, and filled with pity and remorse when they rejected his choice and went astray
 In spite of all their sinfulness as nation, there was still in Gods attitude, as expressed by the proph- ct, the turing note of love seeking to win them back to the right paths, withholding vengeance and judgment and offering healing and restoration. It is a beautiful lesson that is before us, moving in its ten- derness and in it's vision.
 Have the Amoses, or the Hoseas. accomplished the more in history? We need them both. We need the stern moralists who denounce evil and corruption, who tear off the things that cover shams, and who shake rotten things to their very foundation.
 But we need. also, the tender and loving prophets who under stand why men go astray, who see that even violence and corruption are perversions of right attitude and character, and who would stand at the crossways of life ap- pealing to men to avoid the wrong way and to travel the right road.
 There is need, also. of turing those who have taken the wrong turning bac'- into the right way.
 Hosea was a man of deep vision His question in the closing verse of our lesson is still one that chal. lenges the world.
 "Who is wise" he asks, "and he shall understand these things: pru- dent and he shall see them?"
 Sin, after all, is foolishness and destruction. Neither individuals nor nations can go the way of selfish- ness and greed without destroying what they would upbuild.
 The advantages of selfishness ana uL hSh we allow shiftiness and self-seek- ing to get hold upon life in busi- ness, in politics, or in other rela- tionships, it does not require a deep or far-seeing prophet to see what is going to happen in nation al and social life.
 What does call for vision and faith and courage in the prophet is to discover the means of turning the hearts of men from the temp tation of selflshness and greed to ways of right and truth.
 Our task is not only to uphold goodness. but to make goodness effective. Righteousness will not save a nation unless it is practised and organized.
 Technique is necessary, as well as good will and earnest purpose in every effort to establish a nation in integrity and to build society into a commonwealth.

Christ. Science

Mind" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is taken from Romans 11:34:36: "Who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever"
 Selections from the Bible in- clude the following: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways by ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth. so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isiah 55:S,9). 70 the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judg- ments, and his ways past finding out!" (Romans 11:33).
 Readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 505: 20-2S: Spiritual sense is the dis cernment of spiritual good. Under standing is the line of demarcation between the real and unreal. Spir- itual understanding unfolds Mind, Life, Truth, and Love. and demon strates the divine sense. giving the spiritual prof of the universe in Christian Science. This understand ing is not intellectual. is not the re- suit of scholarly attainments; it ia the reality of all things brought to light"

East End Witnessing
 Era Of Improvements
List of Public Work Now Underway or Contemplated
 Largest in SectOn's History

Improvements now underway or contemplated in the eastern sec- tion of the city have never been included before in one program such as the one now in effect or to be put into effect in the very near future, a study of the activi- ties of the city street department, the CWA and the PWA projects has disclosed. That the city ad- ministration, headed by Mayor Frank Hayes, the board of works, especially Commissioner Lawrence J. Kenny, and the officials of the local federal relief administration are due the credit for the great amount of work now going on in the eastern part of the city, is ap- parent, according to claims made.
 Paving Meriden Road
 At the present time city em- ployes are engaged in laying a per- manent pavement in Meriden road, from East Main street to Mill Plain, to fill in the place formerly occupied by the old Green Line" trolley tracks. Before laying the pavement the city installed a new storm water sewer from Mill Plain to Monroe avenue, on Monroe ave- nue. This sewer now empties into the brook on Monroe avenue. The erection of a new concrete conduit on Monroe avenue was also neces- sary.
 The city has not progressed quite far in laying new storm and sewers in East Main street. When the work is completed a per- manent pavement will be laid on East Main street, from Brown to Wolcott streets. The city has al- so completed the erection of fire hydrants on Harpers Ferry Road

PhiLdteLic Nelus Worlds Smallest Republic Japan Distributed Air Issues Largest Stamp Mail Stamps Prematurey
By F. E. D.

Collectors have only a few more months in which to Ob. tain covers of the second shipment from the Antarctic expedition at Little America. The closing date for the ship ping of covers for this delivery will be on or about the first of November. The official agency for the expedition is GimbeIs Stamp Department in New York city, which is au- thorizcd to accept covers at 53 cents per envelope. All covers will be forwarded to the Byrd Antarctic Expedl- ton headquarters at Washing ton, D. C. for shipment.
 Free mail-maiI carried be- cause of the use of the official signatures was inaugurated during the Revolutionary per. iod and carried on in the early days of the United Colonies, as 1t was later I'm the United States. The "free mail'' was subsequently paid for at the rate of two cents per letter, the postmaster keeping a re- cord of the mail and crediting his officially. While Texas was on independenc republic free mail was recognized there. Following annexation to the United States and the es. tablishmcnt of Texas as q state, the free mailing conces- sions were applied oHly as the United States permitted free mail.
 The oldest postofiice build- ing in the country is that at St Augustine, Florida, it claimed. The building oc- cupied is said to have been erected between 1868 and 1903 and was at one time occupied by the Spanish governor of Florida. It was transferred to the United States in 1881. Florida Territorial covers may therefore he said to have n rich historic background, com ing as they do from the first postofIice building fin the Uni ted States.

THE NIGHT
Good evening.

Like colonial dame with her sweeping skirts Comes the rushing ebon of the night; Hurrying onward from high, high above, Its solemn majesty brings strange delight. Meath this blanket of darkest black, We mortals are given to gentle rest; And Mother Nature sets the stage, Presenting entertainment of the very best. When all the birds have disappeared, And their songs they have ceased to sing; From out the grass and trees and woods, Other voices clearly ring. A million candles dot the Stygian roof, Like lantern the moon hangs above; Though many prefer the light of the day, There's much in the night we can learn to love.

One, three and five cent de- nominations of the National park series have been placed on sale at the Waterbury Post Office. announcement was also made this week that the 6 cent and cent denominations of the series are about ready for distribution. They will be placed on sale next Monday at the Washington, D. C. post office and the parks which they commemorate at Crater Lake and Glacier National park. The 9 cent issue may be obtained by sending limited number of covers, not more than 10, to the postmaster at Glacier park.
 The following story, told at the local postoince this week is too good to hold. An enthusi- astic philatelist strollcd into the postofiice and immediately bounced upon a stamp that was lying on the desk. It was an ordinary three cent value, but differed from the others in that there were no perfora- lions. ''Where did this come from?" he demanded excited. Iy. Right out of the center of n sheet" he was told. With tender care he placed the prize in his wallet and rushed out. Nobody informed him that his unusual find had been carefully clipped with scissors.
 The Post Office at Wash. ington, D. C. will have ex- elusive issue of the 16 cent special delivery air mail stamp next Friday, the second day of issue. Covers sent to the var. ious post offices should be mailed to arrive not earlier tban two weeks before the prospective date of issue of the new stamps.
 Incidentally, in connection with air mail stamps, 1t is re. ported that there has been decided increase of interest in collecting stamps and covers from this service. Although the collector may be inclined to think of air mail service as an exclusive development of the modern age there are re- cords of letters being dropped from balloons as early as the eighteenth century. Several were recently exhibited at the air post show in London.
 In 1919 peculiar occur renee fin Japan resulted in the distribution of air mail stamps when there was actually no air service. To mark the Oc- casiOn of that cOuntry's inaug- uration of the air service two special stamps were issued. It was announced that the initial flight. which was from Tokio to Yokohama would take place on October 4th. and two planes were made ready. An accident caused one of the planes to descend while the other was forced down by fog. One hundred thousand each of the special stamps were print cd and letters which were mailed on the day of the flight" carried special post mark.
 The present vogue for larger stamps, which seems to be meeting with the unani- mOus approval of collectors throughout the country is by no means new. San Marine, the worlds smallest republic, located in eastern Italy, en- joys the distinction of having issued the worlds largest stamp. This enormous stamp was in commemoration of the dedication of the Palace" and measured almost six inches from top to bottom, and was unusually cOlOred. lis yaIue
