PASTOR URGES
 STRONG FAITH
World Has Little Concern With Unforeseen Things
 Says Dr.. Walker

'Most of us like to think that we
 are hardheaded and practical and
 we like to think we are dealing with
 facts, not with fancies." stated Rev. Dr. John o. Walker pastor of the sec-
 ond Congregational Church in his sermon, "The Seen and the Unseen," yesterday morning.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Someone said recently that dur ing the last two or three generations
 the best brains of America have gone into business and finance. I suppose the typical American suc- cess story Is the one which has to do with the rise of the poor boy from the farm or the small village to fabulous wealth and power In the industrial world. Success of this sort
 has to do with things that are
 tangible, things that have a market
 value, things that can be seen, meas
 ured, valued.
 "One of the truly amazing things about modern science is that it is steadily undermining this prevalent,
 almst universal belief in the reality of things seen. It ought to humble the man who feels so sure of himself
 and his world to know that the
 things we think we see are not at all what they seem. Common sense is a very useful characteristic but it will take g man only a short distance along the road of modern science. It is not long befort the physicist brings you conclusions which fly in the face of common sense, which contradict the very things you see with your own eyes, which make you wonder whether we live in a real world or one that is only a dream. Fifty or seventy-flve years ago the scientist could scoff at the man of faith, the scientist could maintain that he was dealing with things which had weight and sub- stance, things he could weigh and feel and see. Now the scientist him. self tells us that so-called solid mat ter IS filled with empty space and is made of electric charges.
 Perhaps all this seems beside the point and quite out of place but Il sincerely hope not. We must break down, if we can, this universal ob- session with and faith in the things that are seen. The world in general has too much faith in the things that are seen, too little concern with the things that are unseen. If only our generation could be persuaded that there is a fundamental illusive- ness, a fundamental unreality in these things which I must confess, seem so real and so solid, they might be turned toward the light and the truth in the glorious Gospel.
 "This man Paul knew nothing of | atoms and electrons but he knew Christ and he knew human nature. He was strong in the faith. He was confident that the Christians were g race and people apart because they sensed the unreality of the things of this world, because they had an experience of eternal things. Paul lived, not for time but for eternity. He had proved his faith in the frey | furnace of physical distress and weakness, in peril, toll and pain"

 Hitler Policies
Retiring President

New York, June 26.-(UP)-Fivs persons were charged with assault and several were bruised as the result. of a riot at the Watchtower Bible and Tract society meeting in Madi- son Square Garden last night. The fight started while Rutherford, head of the society, was addressing the 18,000 spectators. Police were ad- vised that he said 'The Catholic church, no matter what anybody tells you, supports Hitler"
 A man in the balcony shouted You're liar" Eggs were thrown. Canes and fists were swung. Polics elected the disturbers. Frances Kil- kenny, IA, suffered an injured left arm and head and body bruises. She was the only one of the injured kept in . hospital. Police arrested Al- fred Colengelo. 28, as her assailant.

him at the time were his father, Dr. Jotham Gay Reynolds, ST., and a friend, Horace Candee, of 589 Cooke street. Neither of the men saw him fall, but a groan and splash caused them to look around too late for help.
 Merrill Fenn and Stanley Sher- wood, and Stanley Sherwood, Jr., of Lakeville, who were fish, ing nearby, said the young den- tist gave a groan and fell over the back of the boat as he was bending over an outboard motor. Dr. Clark K. Peterson, Lakeville medical ex. aminer, said he apparently had suf- fered a paralysis of throat organ which caused him to swallow imme- diately large quantity of water.
 Five-Hour Search
 His father described him as or dinarily 8 good swimmer, but he sank immediately. The body was re- trieved after five and a half hours of combing the bottom with large fishing hooks. Hooks from the boat of Rep. William Raynsford and Donald Cook, of Lakeville, caught in the young dentists clothes, and after pulling the body up little, MT. Raynsford dived in and brought 1t to the surface. State troopers from the Canaan barracks aided in the search.
 Dr. Reynolds came to Lakeville with his father and MT. Candee late Saturday night and the trio slept in their car during the night, starting out in the boat at daybreak. The father and MT. Candee were about to anchor the boat, when the young dentist got up apparently to work on the motor, and fell over the side. Dr. Peterson gave accidental drowning as the cause of the death.
 Native of Waterbury
 Dr. Reynolds was born in Water bury, December 28, 1914, the son of Dr. Jotham Gay and Emma (Crichton) Reynolds. He was gradu- uated from Crosby high school in 1883 and four years later was graduated from the dental school of the University of Maryland. He became associated with his father soon after his graduation from dental school.
 Besides his parents, he is sur- vived by 8 sister, Barbara Rev. holds, also of Waterbury.
