"The Divine Quality in the old Testament.
 Rev. Zeiter said: "The message of the Old Testament, like that of the New, may be summed up in one word, 'righteousness'. Right eousness alone does not make a person a Christian, but 1t Is an es- sential element for any growth or progress in Christian character. Putting 1t simply, righteousness is the moral and social character for which we strive as we look at the world around us, and try to do our just share in making 1t a better world.
 wordsworth put 1t well when he reminded us that:
 The world is too much with us; late and soon,
 Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.
 "And still people continue to hold to that unhappy, lying creed which states that those who have most are therefore proved to be the best. Too many who call them- selves Christian continue to believe that might makes right.
 ''In many cases, men of power and wealth are good men. but their goodness Is not the result of their power and wealth. They would have been good, even if they had been paupers.
 Don't get discouraged at the amount of unrighteousness you see around you. We have trouble even with the so-called saints. We can take comfort from an old preacher who said to his son in the ministry: It takes time, my boy, to float some seople into heaven" Arrange for Printing Arrangements for printing of tick cts for the firemen's clambake to be held at the Naugatuck Fish and Game club grounds at Straitsville on Sept. 29 were made at meet ing of the committee in charge of the affair yesterday. ....

 Mission Underway

There was a large attendance at the evening service last night. An outline of the purpose of the mis- sion was given and Rev. Matthew MulveX. O. F., one of the members of the Dominican order conducting the mission, gave the main sermon.
 A service will be held tonight at 7:30 and evening services during the rest of the week will be at the same hour.
 Bradley Quite Interesting
 Senator Henry M. Bradley traced, with fascinating precision, the his- tory of the settlement of Connecti- cut, in an excellent address at the opening Of the third series of pop ular Sunday evening programs, at the Methodist church last night. The audience heard, with very evil dent interest, a record of the be- ginnings of this state, and sur vey of its contribution in men and morals to the general growth of the United States. Speaking rapidly, yet so clearly that every word was distinctly heard, Senator Bradley made Connecticut history live be- fore the congregation.
