F Former Local Curate
 Returning From Japan
Rev. and Mrs. Floyd Roberts Spent Several Years in
 Missionary Work in Orient-WiI Arrive July 10

Friends in Waterbury have re- ceived letters from Rev. Floyd Ro- berts, formerly of the First Con- grcgational church and now of Nayoga, Japan, that he and Mrs. Roberts will set sail for America within q few days and will arrive in Connecticut about September list. MT. and Mrs. Roberts sail from Japan the 26th of this month, and after reaching this country will travel eastward by easy stages.
 While station here, Mir. Roberts was one of the city's most popular clergymen, and there was wide. spread regret when he decided to leave here some years ago. He and his family have ben in Japan for several years, and have written fre- quently to close friends in this city.
 Mir. Roberts, Letter
 Rev. MT. Roberts letter follows:
 June 3, 1895. Dear Friends in America:
 This letter precedes us by about three weeks. Naturally, these will be busy weeks for us, but we feel that we should take the time--before we get too busy ito let you know our plans. A series of farewells are being planned for us. Such affairs are dear to the hearts of Japanese and although we would rather dispense with them, they do in- crease in us keener apprecia. ton of the sincere friends we are leaving and the intimate bonds we are loosing. Many are voicing messages from them to you. Thus our joy at going nome" and greeting again our

tian missions when He sent Ills early disciples forth two by two into the villages of Galilee and Judea proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom.
 This was the biginning of Christian home missions, but 1t is the characteristic of 8 mis- sionary religion that 1t cannot be confined to home bases or kept within home borders. In the very nature of the case 1t must expand. It's impulse is to go forth and tell the good news that 1t has received.
 Professor Hooking of Hartford University, in addresses in con nection with the Laymen's Ms sionary Movement, has empha- sized this worldwide aspect of truth as the deep and essential missionary motive. If this had not been true of Christianity 1t would need to be true today If religion would keep abreast of science and other departments of inquiry into truth.
 Today. when some great truth is discovered in one land, or some great invention is devel- oped, inevitably 1t spreads to other countries. It Is In the very nature of anything that is important that 1t becomes world wide in It's scope and influence.
 We should bear this in mind at a time when missions, and es- pecially foreign missions, arc being disparaged, thongh the deep motive in missions will al- ways be the elemental Christian impulse. Where Christian faith Is deep, intense, and strong, mission- ary movements will always flour. ish, and only such faith can keep them permanent and effective.
 Our lesson may be taken as a New Testament illustration of this truth or as the story of its New Testament foundation. It is the story of the church "send- ing forth" its preachers and prophets to proclaim the word of God.
 One charge against Christian missions has been that the work of the missionary has been carried on in the midst of much supersti- ton and hypocrisy. The faith of converts has been challenged, and it has been claimed that such con- verts turned to Christ and the Christian missionary for some ad- vantage that they could get out of doing so.
 It is interesting to know that here in the early days of Chris tian missions the same factors were present. There were sor- cerers and pervertors of truth who sought to make their own profit out of the movement.
 But how little effect they had. and how little their perversion and hypocrisy had to do with the true motive and work of missions in making known the reality and power of the gospel!
 The work of Christian mis- sions is to be judged by its tri- umphs and not by its failures. It is to be judged no less by its converts than by its great preachers and prophets.
 A spiritual leader. like Ka- gawa in Japan, stands out as great example of what the Chris tian witness has achieved. The Gospel in its power knows no bounds of race or nationality. It is a power adaptable to all the world and it Is the only power that can save the world.

DIPLOMA AWARDS

School of Future, Predict ed By WiIby Honor Grad,
 Reality in Ohio

Predictions made by honor grad uates of Wiiby High schol at their recent commencement exercises in regard to the complete abolition of the present system of secondary education may have sounded some. what extreme to members of the audience.
 The contention that the tifne-, honored marking system, presents ton of diplomas and even the es- tabiishment of grades will at some future date be entirely discarded, must have been met with incredul- ity by parents and friends of tho students whose education was re- ceived under the old accepted standards.
 That this school of the future outlined by Wilby speakers is not only a possibility but is at present actually in existence is fact com paratively little known. Such q school has been operated by Ohio University for several years.
 The school has no grading sys- tenn, no ''pass'' and no failure" No student who has done his best is given any basis for comparing his own with another students ac- complishments When pupils have completed the minimum course they are graduated but there are no commencement exercises and no diplomas. The only evidence of graduation is written appraisals in which the faculty recommends to the parents either the pursuance of higher education, continuance in high school or complete dis continuance of study.

 Splendid Work
 Complimenting the health con. ditions in Waterbury under Dr. Godfrey's direction, MT. Crotty said: ".rhe splendid manner in which health matters have been administered in your city is Q mat ter of public record and it Is the unanimous sentiment of our socie- ty that a message from you, deal- ing with health and sanitation would be most interesting and helpful to those in attendance at our meeting who are engaged in this field of endeavor".

SCHOLARSHIPS AT
 CORNELL STARTED
Norwalk Mans Will Makes Large Sum Available for
 Free Stipends

The will of the late John Me- Mullen of Norwalk, Conn.,, made available for Cornell University a large sum of money for creating and maintaining free scholarships in the College of Engineering. up t othe present time eight such scholarships have been awarded to undergraduates, the amount Of each scholarship being $200 which is payable each year throughout the course. Next year the fund will probably support one hundred such scholarship, fifteen of which will be open to prospective fresh- men in the College of Engineering. Principals ot high schools and pre- paratory schools will recommend puipls for these scholarships, each of which will pay $200.00 anually for four years provided the student makes q good record in his uni- vorsity work.
 One such scholarship will be awarded in the New England dis trict, and the high school and pre- paratory school principals, if they desire, can recommend candidates for this scholarship to the Dean of tho College of Engineering, Dr. Dexter S.. Kimball. From the rec omendations the selection will be made by committee of the faculty with the advice of the director of admissions. To assist in this work a committee of Alumni in tho New England district will advise the committee ut the University. Tho selection will be made on the basis of scholarship, character, and personality.
 This scholarship should have particular interest to Connecticut pupils inasmuch us John McMullen lived in Norwalk and started his engineering career in New England He gained worldwide prominence as an engineer skilled in the con- struction of hnrbors and water. ways, one of his important works being the construction of Manila hlrhor

We prob- ably will stay there only Q very few days. Our next stop will be with Mrs. Roberts parents in Baldwin City, Kansas. That is a small town so no other address Is needed than that. Mail will reach us there until August 1st at the earliest, and will be for. warded to us any time after that. Next will be Galveston, Indiana, with my parents. That also Is small enough to need no other address. We shall leave there on or soon after September 1st. Af- ter that date we can be reached at Thompson Hall, S5.s7 Sher- man street, Hartford, Conn. We plan to spend the entire school year there.
 As family we do not intend to- stray very far away from the centers named. As for myself, l shall be glad to so and speak in any churches or to interested groups within reasonable dis. tances from these places. But we are asking that we may be ex- cused fro ma round of visits in. volving the children. They are still pretty small. However. we hope What we shall be able to see you as much as possible. at your convenience.
 While in Hartford plan to spend week-ends in the interests of the American Board. Of course in that way we shall be able to renew many of our Con. neoticut friendships.
 Please excuse the brevity of this note. Before many weeks we hope to meet you face to face. Until then
 Your sincerely.

Q. Explain the Jewish mar rlage ceremony.

Q. Explain the Jewish mar rlage ceremony.
 A. The Jewish marriage is a solemn consecration as we'll as a joyous ceremony. The Hebrew name for the cere- mony is ''consecration," and both bride and groom come to the ceremony fasting, in symbol of self-purification. The bride is yelled, as Re- becca yelled herself when she met Isaac. A canopy is re- quired, to suggest the ancient palanquin of the bridal process sion. Bride and groom taste of the sacramental wine (which rejoices the heart of man." The bridegroom gives the bride a ring as he says the words of bethrothal: Behold, thou art consecrated to me by this ring. according to the law of Moses and of Israel" The ancient form of marriage con- tract is then read. seven bless ings are chanted over the bride and groom. and the cere- mony closes with the smash ing of a glass as a reminder of the sufferings of the Jewish people.
