When setting out on journey we
want to know just where we are

limits of our subject We are to
study the Christian life-not life in
general, not religious life, no, not
even life in Christian land or dur

fore most appropriate that our first
lesson in this series should tell us
who the Christian is and how he

The Revised Version correctly
translates 'sons" as children" We
are sons in our position, but we
are children by the new birth. A
man may attain the legal relation

can be child only by birth.
2. They are separated ones ". u.
The world that is, unregenerate
man, does not belong to this family
Of God. How hard it is for even
church people to understand that
fact. They do not appreciate and
cannot understand Gods children,
because they themselves do not
know God.
There are only two classes of peo-
pie in the world-regenerate and I'M

A number of cases were decided today at the short calendar session of the superior court, Judge Edwin c. Dickenson presiding. Instructions to the received to release attach ment and a judgment lien were granted William H. Lowe in an &C., tion against the William H. Lowe company. .,'.

CHINESE STAR AT

Amy FOng Returns to Wa terbury Next Week With
 ~ Pirate Bellies"

Amy Fong, the Chinese exotic dancer who has proven to be one of the outstanding attractions upon the American burlesque stage, will return to Waterbury next week with the Pirate Belles" company, feat uring that funny fellow, Jack Dia- mond, Mimi Lynne, Pat Paige, the trio of Hayes, Haige and Howe and several other principals plus cho- rus of 16 damsels capable of providing excellent entertainment throughout the week from Monday to Saturday inclusive. r....,
 Miss Fong, whose beauty of figure made a distinct hit with Water bury theater-goers last season is anxious to return to the Brass City where she was so royalty received on the occasion of her first profes- sional visit year ago. The local management feels that the profess sional reception to the lovely Chinese performer will be none the less en1- blematic of the welcome she re- ceived last season and with the added incentive of an excellent company including a dozen or more clever performers, the Pirate Bellies" company should prove an outstanding attraction during its stay in this city. In addition to those already mentioned there is the popular and famous Harry Shuttle" Levan, Chic Hunter, Ethel DeCeaux, Alice May and the clever combination of Honey and Toddy.
 All of which is among the req sons that a twice. daily near-capac- ity audience can be expected throughout the current week with many more excellent burlesque at- fractions booked for the ensuing weeks. It is no secret that those who saw Amy Fong last season will be back again with scores of others who missed the opportunity to see her last year. '

Democrat Prospects Are As Bright

The Democrats as usual are preparing for plenty of action next week, the last of the cam paign. John H. Crary, who has le dthe party through so many victorious campaigns is very Opti- mistic about the election.

 MT. Crary went on to say that every one of the twenty districts had arranged for meetings the coming week. In addition there would be many rallies and plenty of radio talk. He said that he did not think that there was much need of it, but he thought that he should follow tradition and end up the week with a bang. most dead. The period of high prces into which we have entered is full of danger, even to the best organized and most prosperous na. tions.

LOssing's ssSigners.' -

Old books are fascinating. For ex-
ample, consider B. j. Lossings "Signers
Of the Declaration of independence"
published in 1848 by George F. Coolidge
and Brother, New York. 1t may not be
the greatest work of biographical art
ever penned, but none the less it is
packed with compelling power of at
traction for a sensitive reader. The au-
thor is well within his right when, in
his preface, he says: There are les
sons of deep, abiding interest and of
inestimable value to be learned in
studying the lives of the men who
perilled their all to secure the blessed
inheritance of free institutions which
we now enjoy. We do not learn merely
thu dignity and sacredness of pure
patriotism, by following them in their
career amid the storms of the Revolu-
ton, but all the virtues which adorn
humanity are presented in such bold
relief in the private and public actions

we rise from perusal of narrative of
their lives, we feel as if all the noble
qualities OF our common manhood had

Neither Goat Nor Catspaw.

Although President Roosevelt's Chi
cago speech was hailed at home and
abroad as proclaiming the end of Amer
ican "isolationism," today's opening of
the Brussels Conference on the Sino-
japanese conflict is marked by couple
of unrelated events, clearly signifying
that Uncle Sans fingers are still crossed.
At Washington the United States has
declined an invitation from Cuba to par
ticlpate in all-American mediation of
the Spanish civil war. In Brussels AM

bid to preside at the Nine-Power Con-
ference. 1t still is a nine power parley.

to pull their speech down to the level

There are, unfortunately, many words
in common use which came to us from
the gutter. Some of these have become
good words Many, however, remain
what they always have been-the prod
ucts of low persons, some of them even
criminal persons.
1t is disheartening to realize how
gladly young persons, in particular, take
to these words, and use them as they
appear, basking in their own self-glory
as being strictly ''up to date"
A little less of this and more deter
mination to speak correctly would save
the ear from many affronts.
The idea of the high brow" has done
a great deal Of harm in this respect
Rebellion at purism, too much

There is good reason behind the pro-

All those who believe in rules will
make sure that they talk as well as
they can, always within the bounds of
common sense.
OVERRIDING here is no better than most
places. He who stresses that final letter
will find himself kissing abundantly.
The result is very disagreeable to the
ear. and also to the mind. which really

There is no need to stress anything.

it go at that.

it comes to speaking or singing Even the

province of actors and singers.
In everyday life, and without attract
