Influence of‘ the Church.
The church, as a collective body, which
has become such a power for good in our
bud, is a subject which is not discussed
amid the columns of a newspaper
Ilium would like, but nevertheless the
wonderful reformation it has done for
Its world is visible on every side. To
, Ike it from its founding, the his-
tory is wonderful and the trials it has
paced through are many. Every church
having a dllferent creed and form, make
upavnst collection of religions, which
each thinks is the right and only one,
but 0 that none can tell. If it had not

svery day shown. To speak of the
church as a place of worship: Our coun~
[try has some of the most beautiful places

poor meet alike. Could our
forefathers see the change
from the churches of their day, they
would open their eyes in astonishment.
In olden times people were often obliged
toridemany miles to an old building
hardly fit to be called a church, there sit
on uncuahionsd seats and in a cheerless
room and listen to the sermon as ex.
pounded by some faithful preacher: nor
were they privileged to go to church
every Sunday, but waited patiently the
next round of the “good man." So there
ismuch change in this respect in the
last century. We are. indeed, a privileg-
ed people, who do not always appreciate
such things as we should. Riding through
theoountry, one will see now the tall
spire of achurch rising from some little
community and know that it is the open-
ingfor vast changes in that place. To
Ind good churches, faithful preachers,
and willing workers, it is not necessary
to go beyond the Norwaiirs. for here

could desire, presided over by semen
and eloquent clergymen, who are ever

the ravages of time and the devastation

not because diligence is asleep or inter-

change must fall slave to time. Our

Neglected Sidewalks.
The sidewalk question is one in which
the citizens of Norwalk are just now
deeply interested. Wears all cognizant
of the fact that inthis naturally beautiful
town one of the most painful drawbacks
is the condition of the sidewalks. The
walks in front of some of our most state-
ly residences would hardly be creditable
tothe most unpretentious house. Men
who are progressive in business life walk
over some of the most wretched pave
meats, and make no murmur as they re-
call the miserable apology for a walk in
front of their own homes. Not that they
are unwilling to provide better, but the
general neglect that prevails in this re-
spect all over the city, has gotten them
reconciled to uneven and broken pave-
ments. If their neighbors would lay new
walks, they would do likewise. Some
property-owners, however, refuse to lay
any walks at all. and in consequence the
condition of the other walks are not bet-
tered, for the question is raised, “What
is the use of my laying a new walk,
when next doorl go splashing through
the mud and water?" The City Council,
at their last meeting, were ediiied by the
presentation of a list of property-owners
whose walks were in bad condition, and
steps will be taken at once to have all
the walks in the city that need it repair-
ed and new pavements laid where there
are none. This action is highly commend-
ed by the public, only it is hoped that no
favoritism will be shown. Now that
the movement of sidewalk reform has
commenced. let it sweep like a tidal wave
over the entire city. The city charter
gives the (‘ity Council this power, and it
ishoped they will strictly enforce the
sidewalk ordinance. E. J. T.
.\u Ambulance (‘ull System.
Some method of calling the ambulance
when circumstanm-s require its use,
seems to be one of the needs of Norwalk.
At present. when a person is disabled by
an accident, heis taken to the hospital
by some kind friend who, perchance,
may be driving near the place where the
person has been injured. Theonly other
available means of conveying him to
that worthy institution, is by summoning
the ambulance by telephone. provided
there is such an instrument accessible.
What we should have in order to make
our hospital service complete, is ambu—
lance call boxes, by the use of which the
vehicle could be hastily summoned when
needed. As a means of accomplishing
this eud~one which seems practical,
and one which, we believe. would meet
all requirements—it is suggested that
call-boxes be placed on the poles with the
fire alarm boxes throughout the town,
connecting them with the fire alarm
wires, each box to have a number differ-
ent from any fire alarm district,and with
wires running to the ambulance station
and the hospital. By this means a call
service could be established at a very
small cost. Then, when anyone is in-
jured, the ambulance could be quickly
summoned .while the hospital attendants,
having been appraised of the accident,
could make the necessary preparations
for the reception of the patient. Al-
though anumber of persons have been
injured in different parts of the town
since the opening of the hospital and
the purchase of an ambulance, we are
familiar with but one casein which the
vehicle has done service, the only reason
being that there is no systematic means
of summoning the ambulance.

Practical Education for Our Boys.
J cat at this time, when educational
matters are claiming so much attention,
the thought suggests itself that an indus-

A Booming Suburb.
Probably no section of the town will
develop more during the coming summer
than Rowayton, and some of the resi.
dents even incline to the belief that that
community will experience a boom. The
construction of the trolley road will no
doubt haven tendency to build up the
lower portion of the village, especially in
the vicinity of Prospect Hill, which is al-
ready one of the most attractive of reel.

Lynch in opening up a large tract of de-
sirable lots nearby has already been re-
warded by the sale of several. Prepara-
tions are now being made for the ortection
of a new and handsome school house,
and the educational advantages of the
place will be largely increased by the all-
ditionul facilities afforded from this
building. The people, too, are a thrifty,
intelligent class, with various socie-
ties for mental and moral improvement,

It is a noticeable fact that East Nor-

This, of course, would be hardly ob-
served or create any comment in larger
places. but we must take into consider-
ation that that side of the river is only
in its infancy, so to speak, and whatever
the improvements may be, no matter
how small, it is always an evidence of
its growth. The latest rumor of the
“boom," which is provrng itself a sort
of contagion that should never be quar-
antined, is to the effect that Marvin
Brothers are contemplating erecting sev—
eral cottages on their property near Calf
Pasture beach. This is good 'l‘l‘l‘r.l.‘..l‘

Side can proudly boast of, to join the
“boom." Yesterday a New York party
was in East Norwalk looking around for
a suitable site upon which to erect a cot-
tage, but he would not say whether he
had secured a favorable place. When
asked if he would visit here again, he
replied that he would some day next
week, with a party of gentlemen from
