BUYING WILL BE DANGEROUS BUS]

power with respect to the increase in relief rolls in election years, 1886 and 1888, and the decline in those rolls in the non-election years, 1885 and 1887.
 Are the American people to be subjected to this sort of thing again? And should it succeed again, what then?
 From every point of view, such tactics constitute one of the blackest chapters in American political his tory. They show a calculating un- scrupulousness on the part of the politician who will use them, and they reveal a cynical contempt on the part of these politicians for the character of the American people.
 But if it should be demonstrated again that this country has in it a sufficient number of people whose votes can be bought by relief checks to enable the party in power to carry the election, what then?
 The situation will hardly be the same as it was in 1886; it will be far more ominous. Not only will the people have been sold out by that purchased margin whose votes are sufficient to carry the election, but the two-terrn tradition will have been broken. The implications of all this are perhaps the most serious things that have ever confronted us as nation.
 The possibility of these things coming to pass has had a sobering effect on many if not all thoughtful people. Many talk in terms not here tofore heard. It is said, for example, that if the present administration is continued in power by the employ ment of dishonest practices in the election, by the wholesale purchase of relief" votes, there are many men who will turn the keys in the doors to their business establish mentS and close up forever. Hard working, honest men will not permit any government to take advantage of the nation in any such manner.
 If the politicians of the party in power are inclined to look upon the forthcoming campaign as just an- other one in which 1t is safe to win the election by the use of vote buy- ing and similar unfair tactics, they probably have mistaken the temper Of the great body of patriotic citi- gems in this country, commonly called the ''backbone of this nation." ]"
 This business Of a third-ternn can- ildate, ail things considered. in an oinln0us thing in itself. But if to this Is added the use of the governments money and power tc corrupt the electorate. then serious days, indeed, are awaiting the American people.

No Damage In. Explosion At. Metal Works.

A small explosion occurred in the casting shop of the Chase Metal Works plant on Thomas ton avenue this morning, but no one was injured, and the fire was extinguished without damage.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey said the explosion occurred when a caster poured wet charcoal on hot metal. The blast hurled red hot metal through a chute and through windows on a tar roof.
 A telephone alarm brought four companies of apparatus to the plant at 8 o'clock. The firemen, directed by Acting Deputy Steph- en Bloomfield, quickly brought the fire under control.
 Fifty-five men are employed in she casting room, but no one was harmed.

 fully aware of the serious nature of the. implications contained in his statement regarding these develop ments, and that if past perform ance of the Administration had not been what it has been, he would hesitate to make public these facts and bring them to the floor of the House of Representatives.
 This accusation or query does not, of course, prove that the Adminis- trati6n will resort to such an un- scrupulous and dangerous method of buying votes,, but it should serve to focus the attention of the public upon this particular possibility so that it may be watched with great care.

Days of Circuit Riders" ] Recalled in Review of l EyentfuI History

The First Methodist church of Waterbury will mark the 125th an- niversary of its founding ia the week of October 6 to 13 with ap ob- servance of the world wide com munion Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock; a birthday party of the Church Family Thursday evening, the 10th; and with the service Sum- day morning. October 1S at which the Rev. Dr. Henry B. Belcfer, former minister of the church, and now executive secretary of the Brooklyn and Long Island society, will be the preacher.
 Tn the earliest days after its founding the church had ministry of circuit riders" numbering in all i6. Even after the establishment of . settled pastofate the tenure of the ministry was brief, following the early Methodist custom. The church has had fifty resident pastors. The first regular minister was Rev. Davis Stocking, and the ministerial sup port" he received was $1OO per year.
 The first church building was erected on the corner of Scovill street on Union Square, a site now occupied by St. Mary'S hospital. The city of Waterbury, including what is now Naugatuck, had a population at that time of about 5000 people. This first building was a simple frame structure thirty-six by fifty feet in dimension, and cost $2,7OO.
 Site Cost $2,925
 The second church building erect ed by the congregation was on East Main street at the corner of Phoenix avenue. In 1850 the people entered into this new house of worship. The cost of the site was $2,925. The building was brick structure fifty five by eighty-f1ve feet, and was erected at a cost of $16,876. For twenty-four years following the membership worshipped in this edi- flee.
 The present church building on North Main and Savings street was built 62 years ago, in the spring of 1878. The city had been grow ing and the church was growing with it, so that the building on Scovill street served for less than thirty years.
 The old records of the church show among the leaders the names of many families still known in the community: Abbott, Ayers, Bronson, Bordine, Bowen, Chapman, Chip man, Chatf1eld, Coe, Cowell, Davis, Gilbert, Guilford, Harmon, Mitchell, Matthews, Goss, Brother, Potter, Robo. Swift, Goodrich, Thomas, Woodruff, Wooster, and others.
 For nearly twenty years, following 1906, John A. Coe, now president of the board of trustees of the church, was superintendent of the Sunday school. His tactful, systematic and thorough work was evidenced in the enrollment at that time of over one thousand members in the school
 Two OutgrOwths

RADIANT LIVING
FROM STARLIGHT TO
SUNLIGHT
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor 1iidgely M. z. Church
Ridgely, Md.

1t was in those horse and buggy
days when we were living ten miles
back from a railroad. A long jour
ney lay ahead Of me, and to get to
the station necessitated an early two
mile walk over the mountain road to
catch the old horse-drawn stage that
left early to meet the daily train.
AS / stepped out into the darkness
of that early morning / was greeted
by a dazzling array of brilliant stars.
In the light of those stars I began
my journey. But when l reached
the crest where the road led over the
ridge, / saw before me in the dis
tance the first pale gray of dawn.
/ stopped for a moment and
looked back to the now paling stars
and then forward toward the coming
light. "A new day!" l shouted in my
thoughts, what will it mean to thou
sands of people!"
Then as 1 hastened down into the
valley, the dawn gradually brighten
ed. It was no longer dark. I could
see the distant hills. Then later. as
we bumped down the grade in that
rattly old stage, the sun came up,
flooding the mountain roadway with
a mellow radiance.
So it is with the soul!
In the surrounding darkness of
pagan infidelity there shines forth /
above us the Divine Promises of the
Scripture. However small may be /
the ray of light that your spirit may |
perceive in the Promises, it is bright |
for you to begin your walk !
toward God.
And as you walk along by the light
Of the stars of the Divine Promises,
hey will bring you to the light of a
new day. day made glorious by the
rising of the sun-the Son of God
lpon your life.
Starlight leads to sunlight! Walk
M
