The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-08
Saturday's Storm

< Waterbury was the pivotal point Satur- day of one of the worst electrical and rain storms that struck in this section in many years. In its wake it left untold damage to streets, highways and private property. While it lasted the low central section of the city was several times threatened with inundation surpassing any previous experience. However, the timely termination of the downpour pre- vented what would have run into far more considerable damage.
 The surrounding hilly topography of Waterbury lends itself to the work of destruction in the case of such downpours. Notwithstanding the fact that the city department, under the capable guidance of Supt. Thomas J. Fleming, is constantly trying to devise ways and means to cope with this storm water situation, it is a difficult task to provide for any such avalanche of rain that struck the city Sat- urday.
 However, we would like to offer one suggestion in the way of friendly advice, which no doubt has occurred already to MT. Fleming and his able assistants at the city yards, namely, in the case of open sewers of the width through which the young boy was sucked Saturday and car ried through the pipe line into the Nauga- tuck river, protecting grating be placed. Fortunately there was no serious con- sequence from this accident, but there easily might have been. Such things, how ever, are uncommon and each and every year through the constant work of the street department finds Waterbury better equipped to cope with, under trying con- ditions, such emergencies when they arise

v. PauI's Philosophy Of Life
(Phil. 4:4-13). -...
What men do and say expresses
their philosophy of life. In order to
induce right living, there must be
created right thinking, for truly,
GAS a man thinketh in his heart, so
is he."
1. Unceasing joy in the Lord ".
A.. The one who knows the Lord
Jesus Christ as a personal Saviour,
and who knows that in the provi-
dence Of God all things work to-
gether for good to them who love
God, cannot help but persistently
rejoice in spite of personal circum-
stances.
2. Be careful for nothing ". g..
The word careful" means concern
which leads to distraction" This
does not mean that such a one will
be hazardous in his living or fail In
the exercise of common sense. He
will not be disposed to depend upon
himself, but cast himself upon his
Lord for everything.
6. Think Of right things ". 81.
The one who thinks on truth will
be true; the one who thinks on
honesty will be honest; the one
who thinks on love will have love
flowing from his person. Things
honorable and of good reputation
among the people will not be
neglected.
4. All sufficient is in Christ wv.
1919. The one who is thus in
harmony with his lord will be con-
tent in whatever circumstances he
may be placed.

Lesson for September !
PAUL THE APOSTLE

LESSON TEXT-Acts 2o:ss-S6;
Philippians gaia.
GOLDEN TEXT-In all things I
gave you an example, that 80 Ia
boring ye ought to help the weak.
Acts 20:35.
PRIMARY ToP1c-A Happy Work.
er for Jesus.
JUNIOR ToPIC-Paul q Good
Soldier for Jesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC-How to Find Happiness In
Work.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC-The Church and the Toiler.
The explanatory title given by
the lesson committee, Paul "a
Worker With Hand and Brain),"
is unsatisfactory. His pursuit OF
a trade was incidental, as well as
working with his brain. He was
in deed and In truth the apostle OF
Jesus Christ and his entire person
was dominated by his passion to
serve his Lord.
I. His Birth (Acts 22:3; ct. Phil.
$40.
He was born in Tarsus Of pure
Hebrew stock. He could with law
full pride boast Of cody ancestry.
10. His Home Training CPhil.
1863.
His parents were pious people
and carefully reared him according
to Jewish standards. Most religious
leaders spring out Of such homes,
as for example, Moses, Samuel and
Timothy. Stern principles Of in
tegrity were inculcated in him, thus
giving him strength Of character to
impress the world.
III. His Education (Acts % ~.
1. His patriotism. He was
brought up to love his nation. He
proudly affirmed, II am a Jew"
Paul was a nationalist Of the true
type.
2. A love for the Bible. The
Scriptures were to him the very
Word Of God. What was found
written therein was the final word
for him. Loss of love for the BIZ
BILE and implicit faith therein Is a
tragedy.
3. Jealous for God. He says, 81
was jealous toward God" The word
jealous literally means ito boil"
It means that his life was infamed
with passion for God.
4. He was conscientious. His
supreme aim was to have a con-
science void of offense. Conform
ity to the dictates Of conscience is
demanded. It is the law of life for
every man, but because Of the blight
of sin the conscience needs to be
taught by the Word Of God.
8. He had a trade. Every Jewish
boy, regardless Of his fathers
wealth, was taught a trade. It was
a saying among them that he who
failed to teach his son a trade
taught him to steal.
!. His Conversion (Acts % e 10Y.
1. On the way to Damascus ".
g.. He was filed with a hatred Of
Christ and was on his way to Da-
mascus with authority to bring to
Jerusalem to be punished such
Christians, men and women, as
might be found.
2. A light from heaven wv. coy.
AS this light burned through the
sky he fell to the ground. Accom-
panying the light was a voice say
ing, saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me" In response to his In
Quiry as to who was speaking, the
Lord declared that it was Jesus of
Nazareth whom he was prosecuting.

rewarded by the State of Ohio.

Captain Quiesser conceived the
idea of the service flag after he had
returned with the Fifth Ohio In
fantry from Mexico prior to the
war. He had been struck down by
an automobile and both his legs
broken.
While he was recovering, the war
broke, calling to duty the two sons
who had been with him in Mexico,
