'RevJI. E. Barnes was greeted with
large conventions at the First Metho-
dllt church yesterday and the congrega-
tions listened to two discourses that were
of the most exhaustive and inspiring
character, delivered with an auction that
hid the closest attention. Any synopsis
of Mr. Burne’s sermons is so unsatisfac-

glory. and soutterly futile so far as con-
veyingsn idea of their scope, that we
fishallnotattempt. it. lfr. Barnes plows
” deep into the soil of thought, and brings
v, tili‘tbe eurfsce the very sub strata of gos-
wl truth, and applies it in the mostperti—
nent form. He is what his successor,
' Rev. A. 8. Kavanagh, so pally stated,

'An intellectual giant among the preach-
ersof his ammunition". The singing
wasunnsnally good, thechoir rendering
their songs with unusual confidence and
effect, inspiring the congregation in
thehymns, so that the old church
was filled with the grand melody of
sacred songs. Thednetshy lira. Salter

‘ and B. I. Andrews were very pleasing,
- otheirvoiceeblending very sweetly. At
~ the morning service Mrs. Saltcrsang,
. by request. Cowen's “Better Land.” its
repetition seemed to add to its charm.
The distinct pronunciation and very
fine expression in its rendering gave full
elect to its beautiful sentiment. At the
‘ evening service Ifiee Hormone

L. McCallen, of Washingtonville,
New York, sang the soprano
solo, “ The Holy City, " in clear,

sweet tones, her pleasing interpretation
lending additional attractiveness to the
composer’s work.

South lorwalk Baptist.

Rev. E. S. Kidd preached yesterday
morning in the South Norwalk Baptist
church from Galatians i.. 8. The theme
of his sermon was “The Final Gospel."
He said: "The church at Gelatin sought
to fasten to Christianity its peculiar
ideas and prejudices. This Christianity
is God's final revelation of himself to
men. There had been three distinct
revelations, each of which is sufficient to
reconcilemantoGod. First, hewas re-
vealed as the creator. Man always
would and ever may wGod as reveal'
ed in nature. Th sun, ocean, moun-
‘tain,ilower, and river speak to us in
tones that cannot hemisunderstood;they
revealintheir creation, God. Then, as
the governor of his creation, thisis mani-
festln the perfection of natural laws.
But man has endeavored to govern him-
. self. Selfgovernment hasbeenthe prob-
lemmanendeavoredto solve from the
earliest and crudest stem of society till
.thepresent day. Why not, some say,
call a odngrese of the world's legislators
and settle the matter by enacting a
code of laws that will meet the demands
of every person, of all conditions, of
every clime, of all times. Impossible!
Stanislaw would require omniscience
Trimandln the hook that lies closed
n-ponthe desk of the legislator is a law
of jut such a charmer; the decalogue,
solving theproblem of self government.
It meets the demands of every condition
of society. it h a perfect law. God can
demanded more than perfect love to
ward‘hirnrslf and our fellow men. Last,
ly, the revelation of God's motive in cro-
‘ating and governing. We can only

judge the quality of action when we
knowtheLmetivetbat prompted it. To
reveal his motive God sent his son,
Jan Christ, in his life, worksaod teach-
ing declared God’s moslve in creating

prompted him togive his son for man's
redemption. This lea perfect love and

Thesethlngn bologna it would be wise
to recognize these facts. We should

fortify ourselves with the Bible. It is

that helps to guard against evil tenden-

us to fortify our lame points. He is
always with us and always helping us.

florwalk Congregational.

Rev. William H. Gilbert, secretary of
the Connecticut Bible society, preached
at the Norwalk Congregational church,
yesterday morning. He presented the
causeof the society he represents in an
interesting manner, and an offering was
made toils treasury. In the evening the
pastor, Rev. ‘1‘. K. Noble. preached an
excellent sermon upon ”The Two Ways,”
picturing the contrasted paths which
stretch out before every soul over the
wide field of life, the one broad and to
the inexperienced traveler apparently
easy and attractive, characterized by
freedom, liberty and license, but which,
in reality, is a way of hardness, loss and
ultimate destruction. The other way,
though straight and narrow and seem-
ingly difficult, a way characterized by
self-control, self'denial and sclfvsacriiice,
was shown to be a way which, although
leading sometimes into the tangled wil-
derness where every step is a struggle, is
always illuminated with the sunlight of
God’s peace, and the obedient traveler is
certain to find it away of bhneedness.
The pastor closed with an earnest appeal
to the young people of the church to
choose at once the way of the just and
righteous.

Grace Episcopal.

At Grace church, yesterday morning,
Rev. 5. H. Watkins preached from the
twenty-third chapter of St. Matthew, on
“Christ's Tenderness," the text being the
30th verse. The principal thought was
that Jesus Christ is always more ready to
becompaesionate and to forgive rather
than condemn sins. lo the evening Mr.
Watkins delivered a brief address, en-
treating his hearers to follow and obey
the teachings and laws of God as given
through the church The rector conclud»
ed by relating an incident which showed
how necdful it is to strictly comply with
a physician’s directions in sickness, for
the maintenance of our earthly existence,
from which be deducted the [ration that
it is much more necessary that we should
conform to God's laws as contained in
the Bible. if we would have eternal life.

The citizens of New Canaan breathed
a sigh of relief last night when darkness
ushered in the eve of the Sabbath to
which they had all been looking forward
so anxiously. The day had come and
passed, and the sun had shone alike upon
the just and the unjust, and 8am Ray-
mond had actually‘let it shine without
meeting it for working on Sunday.

But business men of the place came to
an understanding, and such of them as
believed the nature of their business wor-
rantcd it being regarded as a necessity do
clded to keep open, and if snorted and

ality of the blue laws, made to suit the

Unconscious Condition—Physicians lum-
mound and the run Restored.

James Hart, of South Norwalk, em-
ployed at Martin Bates, Jr., dc Co.’s fur
shop, was in bathing at Home Point, yes-
terday afternooon. when he was ever-
come by an epileptic lit. He happened
to be near the spile, some distance from
shore, to which is attached the life rope,

tack Hart grasped the spile. No sooner
had he done so than he lost conscious-
ness. William Sherdavine, who was
standing in the grove, noticed the swim-
mer’s unusual actions, and called to Fred-
erick Stabell, Fenton Pomeroy,’William
Dunn, Charles Thomas and Fred Radio:
who were lying undressed on the beach,
The
men at once plunged into the water.
Dunn was the first to reach the uncon-
scious man, and caught Hart just as his
hold on the spile was about to give way.
With almost superhuman effort be suc-
ceeded in keeping the man's head above
water until the other men reached him,
when all aided in preventing Hart from
sinking. The tide was very high, the
water being fully twelve feet deep at that
point. The men then appealed for a row
boat. 8. B. Wilson, the builder, who
was on heard his steam launch “Min-
netta," which was anchored on the south
side of the Roton Point pier, heard their
cries, and jumping into a row boat
moored to the launch, be quickly rowed
to the aid of the rescuers. Hart was lift-
ed into the boat and taken ashore. He
was carried into the bathing house pavil-
ion, where he was rolled on a barrel for
the purpose of expelling what water
there was in his stomach, restoratives
were administered, while Mr. Finkcn-
stain, the manager of the Point, tele-
phoned for Dr. C. G. Bohannan, and sub-
sequently summoned Dr. Gillett, a New
York physician who is summering at
Bell Island. Hart recovered conscious-
ness at 3,0‘clock, half an hour after the
lit, and five minutes later Dr. Gillett ar-
rived aud made an injection of morphine
into Hart‘s arm. Shortly afterward Dr.
Bobannan arrived and assisted in restor-
ing the man to his normal condition.
Hartwell then partly dressed and car-
carried into the Point hotel, where he
was put to bed. It is understood that
the managers of the Point will see that
hosts are kept on the beach in the future
for use in case of emergencies like the
one that happened yesterday.

How a Reporter Gets Even for a Refusal
of a Wheel.

Harry Elliott, the well‘known wheel-
man and fast rider, is alleged to be the
victim of a reporter.

One day last week he was astonished
to find all his friends, esmciaily those in .
wheeling circles, and those in the bicycle
business, in possession of marked copies
of the Norwalk Hour, in which, loudly
indicated by blue pencil marks. was. the
following:

“Harry Elliott, a Bridgeport bicyclist,
claimsto have been injured by riding
over an obstruction in one of Bridgepoer
public streets recently, and now he asks
the city to pay him $1,000 for the dam-
age done. E. Livingstone Walls, of
Southport, is Elliott’s attorney. Elliott
is known here and acquaintances are
wondering whether he wants money to
heal alleged bodily bruises or for mental
aches and pains suffered by his ridicul-
ously abnormal bump of self conceit.
In the latter case, and with Elliott on the
witness stand, the outcome will be a
question of very little doubt.”

Papers containing this were sent to
Wilkinson & Manwaring, where Harry
is employed; to the Y. M. C. A.,of which
he is a member; to Harry himself, and
to other places and people.

Elliott, when seen by a Union reporter
Saturday evening, was evidently more
sorrowful than angry. He said: "This
attack on me was written by Reporter
Maples and be marked it and sent it to
my friends. I never did anything to Re-
porter Maples in the world. Once he
came to the firm and wanted to rent a
tandem wheel. I refused to rent him
the wheel because he didn’t know how to
ride very well and I didd‘t think him a
suitable person. He wished to teach
somebody else go ride and didn‘t know
how to ride himself. I refused to let
him have the wheel and he became very
indignant. This is the way he takes to
get even with me.”

Harry says that although he has been
greatly injured by the publication, he
has no redress because, his lawyer says,
Editor Maples has kept within the libel
laws.

The attack was regarded by his wheel-
ing friends last night as a little rough on
Harry who, of course, like everybody
else, has a proper opinion of himself, but ’
not an ounce of self conceit as everybody
knows. Reporter Maples is a son of Edi-
tor Muples, of the ileum—Bridgeport
Union.

NO MORE PASSES.

'l‘h-- l‘ulisnlidhted road has adopted a
ml.- «- suing oil favor of transportation
in Umwd States oliiciuls and employees
of the government. The rule is under~
stood to be the result of concerted action
in this matter with all the larger roads of
the country. Ilcrctcfore it has been
the custom to give transportation to
such olllvials without any special ro-
striction. A prominent government offl-
cial wrote to the bend of the department
of the Conaolidutml a few days ago, stst~
lug that ho was going to a large city and
received a reply informing him that the
company would not extend subtleties of
the kind tormented.

Dno of the reasons given for the
limitation of these favorswuud there
are nianyuis the fact. that the roads
are imgrml upon. ilovernment nil
cisls and others who have had transpora
tutlon given thorn without charge will
first apply for a trip to some point with-
in the state. Then they will ask to have
their families carried free. All this was
given wilhnuta murmur. it could he
done without trumgrcssing the inter»
slate commerce law.

Becoming bolder they would ask for
transportation beyond the lmundarlee
of the state and, in fact, requests be»
camesoprofuse and general that the
entire practice bed to be restricted.

The cleotricrnilwaysof the state are
adopting similar tactics. The fluently
organized state association has given
some attention to the matter and the
managers of the older lines are loud in
their complaints against the custom. ‘
