straight to the point. She said:

A part of the testimony offered by the Gospel of John in proving the thesis with which the Gospel opens-namely, that Jesus is the Eternal Word and the incarnation of God-is the witness of the mighty works or miracles of Jesus. The Golden Text of this lesson, talk en from John 5:36, emphasizes this. 'The very works that do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me-"
 The miracle of Jesus, recorded in the Gospel of John, would seem to have a symbolic meaning in ad- dition to the literal record. The miracles that are the subject of this lesson have to do with the giving of health to the sick and food to the hungry.
 In the first miracle, wrought for the man waiting at the pool of Bethesda in hope that he might find healing from an infirmity of more than 38 years duration, we have a tragic picture of suffering humanity. In some form 1t can be duplicated in almost every age.
 Around this pool of Bethesda there had arisen tradition that an angel went down at certain season of the year and stirred the waters and that whoever should then be dip-

 whatever disease he had.
 
 If we dismiss with a smile, or a cynical gesture, this strange tradi- ton and the credulity of those who believed in 1t, let us recall how again and again, even in our own time, suffering people have clutch- ed at just so slight ray of hope in anything that promised relief from disease and pain.
 One can not discuss here the deep and difficult matters involved in all such phenomena = the undoubted help that comes through psycho- logical influences to many whose troubles, though they seem real, have no actual organic cause; and the deep and sad disappointment of the many who are not healed.
 Nor can we discuss the even deep or matters invoiced in the whole question of faith healing. One may believe that the power and pres ence of Jesus were sufficient to give to the stricken bodily as well as spiritual health, though Jesus Him. self never seems to have made the healing of the body. His major mis- sion on earth.
 One should remember that He always deprecated the attitude of those who believed in Him because of the miracles, and not because of their response to His moral and spiritual teaching.
 The miracle of the loaves and the fishes is in more difficult realm. Here imagination and psychological forces could have played no part. The miracle has been explained" in various ways, but miracles would not be miracles if they could be ex- plained.
 The age out of which the New Testament came was not a critical age. It is only, in fact, in very re- cent years that records of human experience and claims of miracu- lous happenings either have been questioned or submitted to scienti- f1c investigation.
 One should add that scientific in- vestigation by no means gives the only trustworthy answer. The fact Is that there are whole range of happenings that seem well verified, the explanation of which cannot be reduced to known scientific law. The radio and many other phenomena would have seemed miraculous a few generations ago.

 TRUTH" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 100:5: "The Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endueth to all generations"
 Selections from the Bible include the following CPS. 119: 1, IS, 3D: Blessed are the undefiled in the way. who walk in the law of the Lord Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law Give me un- derstanding, and shall keep thy law; yea, shall observe it with my whole heart"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 183: 16-18, 23-29: "The supposed laws which result in weariness and disease are not His laws, for the legitimate and only possible action of Truth is the production of har- mony .-. Obedience to Truth gives man power an dstrength. Sub- mission to error Superinduces loss of power. Truth casts out all evils and materialistic methods with the actual spiritual law,-the law which gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf. voice to the dumb, feet to the lame."

Lawyers Receive Lawyers Letter
 To Pay Or Else
Clerk of City Court SIaps Down on Absent-Minded
 Brother Barristers

Though more than $20O in past-dues has been turned in to City Court Clerk Irving w. Pasternak in the past week, the court is still owed more than $3,000 by local lawyers. The sum is due for entry fees which were not paid when civil cases were filed in the court by local attorneys.
 Clerk Pasternak has been author ized by the judges of the court, John F. McGrath and Edward MaScolo, to make every effort to collect the sums due from the various lawyers. The payments made this week were in response to letter sent out by the clerk.
 Under new rules set up by the judges entry fees must be paid in advance when writs are filed in the clerks office. During the past week several writs have been refused when attorneys refused to abide by this regulation.
 Some of the accounts have been piling up for long period of time, with no attempt made to pay them. The new procedure was decided when it was found that the sum owed the court by delinquent attor- neys had reached a high figure.
 This week Clerk Pasternak sent out the following letter:
 To All AttorneyS:-
 Notice is hereby given that I have been instructed by the judges of the city court not to accept any writs to be entered in the city court unless the entry fee is paid in advance.
 have also been instructed to notify all attorneys practicing in the city court that a payment on their old accounts must be made at least once a month, and when no such payment Is received, no future writs signed by that attor- ney will be accepted in this court, whether or not the entry fee is paid in advance.
 would advise all attorneys iIl- debted to the city court to call at the clerks office to make ar- engagements to settle their old ac- counts.

City Of Torrington
 Asks Building Title
Smith Bill Presents in Congress to Effect Transfer of
 Ownership of Former Post Office to City

House of Representatives providing for its acquisition by the city with out cost. Passage of this measure will exempt the transaction from the provision of the general law which requires that at least 50 per cent of the appraised value of gov- ernment properties must be paid by municipalities wishing to acquire them for public purposes.
 The Torrington city council has passed a resolution requesting the Treasury Department to quiteclaim the land and building to thL city at 8 nominal consideration" It is specified in the resolution, a copy of which has been sent to Con- gressman Smith by City Clerk An- thony Telesca, that the building is desired for use of veteran organiza- tions.
 Mir. Smiths bill reads as follows:
 "A bill to provide for the convey ance of certain property to the city of Torrington, Connecticut.
 Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled, that the Secretary of Treasury is authorized and di- rected, on behalf of the United States, to convey by quitclaim deed to the city of Torrington, Connecti- cut, without cost to such city, all the right, title and interest of the United States in and to the old post office building and site in such city, on the corner of Water and Pros- pect streets in said Torrington. Such conveyance shall contain the express condition that If the city of Tor rington shall convey or attempt to convey such site, title thereto shall revert totthe United States"
 The bill, which has been referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds, was described by MT. Smith as the only possible procedure to be taken to avoid payment of 50 per cent of the appraised value of the property.
