THEY CALL MANY PEOPLE TO
WORSHIP YESTERDAY.
Roe. I. I. Robbins Preaohes on “Luke-
war- Christianity" and ”The Advancing
Hoots." at the South Norwalk Baptist
church-Antler Sunday Services.
Rev. F. E. Robbins, pastor of the Nor-
walk Baptist church, preached at the
morning and evening services In the
South Norwalk Baptist church yester-
day. The subject of his morning ear.
anon was "Lukewarm Christianity.’
He urged upon his hearers the necessity
Indhsaefits of pure, consecrated lives,
reminding them that each, at the judg-
ment seat, must answrr for himself
alone: but it is our Christian duty to do
good unto all men and so fulfill the law
of Cariat, who himself, although divine,
did eat with the lowly, healed the poor,
ani forgave the sinful. We ought not
tohesatlsfied with simply living what
we consider good enough lives, but we
ought to live the best, the noblest that is
within us. The very best is none too
good for Christ, and will be an aid to our
fellow-men. The individual life is first.
This makes the home, the home makes
the church, the church makes the com-
munity, and then comes the state. What
the elders in the church are is what the
young people will be. We should be
earnest and zealous Christians, not luke-
warm, but strive to serve Christ
to the best of our ability
and be bright lights for him
which shall guide those about us to the
1 throne of grace. Appropriate music was
rendered by the choir. Frank Comatook
presided at the organ in the absence of
Prof. Wootten, the organist, and H. P.
Morgan filled the vacancy left in the
choir by Mr. Comstock. Mr. Robbins
spoke in the evening on “The Advancing
Hosts; or, the Dominance of Baptist l’rin-
ciples." He said that the church today is
not what it ought to be. With the num-
ber of Baptists there are in this country
they ought to be a. united host, fighting
for Christ. He spoke of the great Bap-
tist convention in Toronto. and said that
the single thought, the very spirit that
pervaded that vast body of Baptists
ought to fill each and every church.
“If you profess to be a Baptist, and you
areaeked what' is your faith. " said Mr.
, Robbins, ‘fband your questioner the new
testament; that covers all. The faith
which was preached to the early saints
should be our faith. Let us cling close to
our God. Do you know." he continued,
“that every seventeenth person you
meet is a Baptist? We are glad it is so;
let no one be ashamed of his church or
his belief. If he is ashamed of the church
‘ it is time he got out. The faithful efforts
of the followers of Christ shall be richly
rewarded, and in time every tenth one
shall be a Baptist, and when we get to
heaven, we shall all be Baptists." Both
sermons were full of life and enthusiasm.
RELIGION IN EVERYDAY LIFE.
Rev. '1'. K. Noble Speaks to is Large Con-
gregation Upon This Subject.
At the First Congregational church,
yesterday morning, Dr. Noble chose as
his theme, “God the Comforter of us
all." taking for his text If Corinthians, i,
3, 4. Opening his discourse by pictur-
ing the need of comfort in the homes
about us, where there are anxious and
troubled hearts, some by reason of lost
position, lost possessions, lost health, or
lost friends, others because of miscon-
duct on the part of those dearer than life
itself, he turned the thoughts of his peo-
ple to the not always remembered truth
that the primal source of enduring corri-
fort is the God of the Bible; not the God
of the materialist, or pantheiat, or ra-
tionalist, but the God and father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,the God of comfort who
comforteth us In all our tribulations
that we may beable to comfort other,B
with the comfort wherewith we our
selves are comforted of God. In the
evening he spoke to a large congregation
upon “Religion in Everyday Life," urg-
ing the people to take the holy religion
of Jesus Christ into their everyday talk,
and tasks, and temptations, and trials,
. . and triumphs, assuring them that if they
would do this every step in life might be
a triumphant march and at last the work
of life done and the battle of life fought
they would come off more than conquer-
ors through Jesus Christ our Lord.

closely listened to, the speaker presenting
his subjects in a most interesting and
convincing manner. At the morning
service Mrs. Salter sang “Over the Stars
Thereis Reet."end in the evening ren-
dered as an ofiertory a beautiful hymn,
Mrs. Salter singing the second verse as a
solo and Mrs. Salter and Mr. Andrews
the third verse as a duet.
The Highlanders of America.
The Rev. C. J. Ryder made an earnest
and eloquent appeal for the Highlanders
of America at the South Norwalk Con-
gregational church, last evening. Mr.
Ryder spoke of the qualities of these full-
blooded native Americans, their customs,
social conditions and manner of living,
their history and their loyalty, both in
the Revolution and the Civil wars, to the
Stars and Stripes. He also described the
home of these mountaineers, and told of
their great need of help from the north.
“Their ignorance is intense,” said the
speaker, "sixty per cent. of them being
unable to read or write. Twenty schools
have been established in this mountain-
ous region, extending from Maryland to
Georgia, embracing a region five hun-
dred miles long and two hundred and
fifty broad. Fifteen thousand children
out of a population of 2,500,000, attend
these schools. All these white peeple,
locked in the mountain fastnesses, have
hitherto been unreached by Christian
influences.” The whole address was re-
plete with numerous anecdotes and re-
collections. ,
The Life of Moses.
At Grace church, last evening, Rev. S.
H. Watkins preached on the life of
Moses, from which he drew Ir asons show-
ing that disappointments and tria‘s
should be met and endured with meek-
ness and patience. Izle gave as an illus-
tration Moses, who, after having spent
his life and energies in leading the Israel-
lies to the promised land, was not per-
mitted topnter after arriving at the bor-
der. He said it was not the miracles
performed by Moses that made him
great, but his meek-ness and his submis-
sion to that great disappointment. The
rector concluded by stating that the
greatest joy we could have. WAS not in
wealth and fame, but that we may have
our names written in the Book of Life.
Servlce at. St. Paul's.
At St. Paul’s church, yesterday morn-
ing. the Rev. 8. B. Pond officiated. The
music by the surpliced choir was excel-
lent. The anthem, “The Lord is King,"
by Tremble, was effectively rendered.

Messrs. Charles Miller and Albert Mose-
man. The anthem was ”The Heavens
are Telling," from Haydn‘a “Creation."
Other Services.
Rev. R. O. Sherwood preached two ex-
cellent sermons at the Norwalk Baptist
church, yesterday. In the morning his
text was ”Deny yourself, take up the
cross and follow me.“ In the evening
the topic was “I am the way, the truth.
and the life."
The even song services at the chapel of

SOUTH NORWALK,
WON Bl BATTERY Will.
A SUPERB GAME OF BALL ON THE
DAXTEB GROUNDS.
The South Norwalke Defeat the Crack
'l'eam of New Haven by a Score of four
to Three, In a Holly Contested. Finely
Played Contest.
One of the best games ever played in
the town was played between the South
Norwalke and New Havens, on the Bax-
ter grounds, last Saturday afternoon.
The game was won by the home club,
which goes to show that not many teams
around these parts can play a much
stronger game than the South Norwalks.
The New Havens are ranked among the
best clubs in Connecticut, and many of
our local cranks, were of the opinion that
the South Norwalk's winning streak
would come to an abrupt ending when
they met the team from the City of Elms.
This idea was not dispelled until the rnd
of the ninth inning, for it was nip and
tuck throughout the entire game.
Neith‘er team scored in the first inning,
but the New Havens made tvro runs in
the second, while scorer ()akrs placed a
big “goose egg" up on the South Nor-
walk portion of the score board out in
left field. In the third inning the home
club tied the score. Neither team scor-
ed in the third, but in the fourth the
South Norwalks took the lead by one
run and held it until the sixth, when the
Elm City boys again sent one of their
men across the rubber, tit-ing the score.
In the seventh, while the New Haven
team was in a state of confusion over a
runner going from first to second base,
George Lauder took advantage of the
lack of watchfulness on the part of the
opposing team and came borne, making
the fourth and winning run. This end-
ed the run getting by either club, and at
the end of the last inning the score stood
4 to 3 in favor of the South Norwnlks.
The battery work of both clubs was ex-
cellent, but two hits being made from
each pitcher. Snlfliu, the young pitcher
of the New Havens, pitched a truly re-
markable game, while Collins pitched in
his usual effective manner. The center
field playing of Corner, of the South
Norwalks, was perfect and elicited round
after round of applause from the specta-
tors. When the “Kid" starts for a ball
it can be counted on as his. Tammany
also made a pretty catch of a difficult fly
ball of! second base. Altogether, it was
a hotly contested finely played game.
Funeral of luv. 8. Ii. 8. Blue".
A large number of friends of the late
Rev. Samuel Burr Sherwood Bissell paid
their last tribute of respect to his mem—
ory by attending the funeral at the Nor-
waik Congregational church, Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. After a brief
prayer at the house by Rev.
Thomas K. Noble with the family and
relatives, the funeral cortege. led by the
clergy and the family physician, Dr. J.
ti. Gregory, followed by the mourning
friends, walked to the church, and satire
procr salon passed up the aisle the beauti-
ful sentences of the Episcopal burial ser—
vice were recited by Rev. 8. II. Watkins,
beginning "I am the ressureclion
and the life." The altar was
beautifully adorned with palms and
many exquisitecut flowers rested upon
and around the casket. A quortette com-
posed of II. S. Ilatch, Charles A. Tucker,
Miss Alice Sherwood and Mrs. J. C. New-
kirk rendered two selections, under the
direction of Miss Jennie K. Nash, one of
them being “The King of Love lily
Shepherd is.” Dr. Noble offered a touch-
ing prayer, bcseeching the find of all
comfort to comfort the aching hearts, In
the chancel were the Revs. T. K. Noble,
S. If. Watkins, I). M. Seward, I). M. El-
wood, and C. M. Selleck. The services
were opened by the Itev. T. K. Noble,who
spoke in tender words to the relatives and

ed Mr. Illssell as a man who had been

the services Would be very simple in so-
cord with the simple and Christian life
of the departed. The scripture lesson
was read by the Rev. Dr. Seward. after
which the Rev. D. M. Elwood pronounced
the benediction. The procession was
re-formed, and taking carriages went to

service was read by Rev. Mr. Selleck,

CHIRGEII WITH MURDER
AN ANARCIIIS‘I‘ ARRESTED FOR
KILLING OEIILESCIILAEGER.
First Accused and Denounced in Court
by a Bomb Thrower, and Dhteotlvee
than Followed Clues and Obtained Iv]-
dence to Warrant the Prisoner's Arr est'
Itiebelleved that one of the darkest
chapters in the record of crime and out-
rage planned and executed by the an-
archists of Paterson, N. J.,during the
labor strikes last spring has been brought
.' to light by the arrest. of August Miller,
who "was confined in the Paseaic county,
(.‘l. J) jail on Saturday night on the
charge of having murdered Mex Oehles-
ohlaeger, a fellow anarchist and confed-
erate. Oehleschlaeger lived in SJuth
Norwalk a few years ago, conductinga
dyeing establishment at 49 Water street,
in the building niw occupied bythe
Duncan Iron Railing works.
Oehlerchlaeger’s body was found in
Allendale, Bergen county, N. J., a few
ysris from the Erie railroad, on March
28. A long gash extended from the back
of the head to the forehead and looked al
though it had been done by a butcher‘s
cleaver. It was the duly mark of vio-
lence found upon him, and finger marks
found in the pocket of hit trousers indi-
cated that be bid been murdered.
Nevertheless, the coroner of Bergen
county concluded that he had been killed
by strain and granted a certificate of
accidental death. The body was tgken
to an undertaker’e and on the following
day was claimed by his friends.
When the body was taken to Paterson,
friends said Oehleecblaeger had been
murdered, but as the coroner had decid-
ed otherwise they did not. investigate the
matter further and the body was buried
lit the expense of the young man's
mother, who lives in Germany and is
said to be in good circumstances.
Nothing further was heard of the case,
except that the anarchists talked in sub-
dued whispers over it in the various re-
sorts in which they consorleri, until the
trial of Charles A. lljobbeler, tbecon-
vii-ted bornh thrower; Robert Schick
the writer of threatening letters, and
Carl Starke, the dynamite cohepirator,
with three others who were convicted of
conspiracy in the dynamite scheme to
blow up the manufacturers of Peterson
—notably, William Strange and Jacob
Weidmann.
A bomb containing three pounds of
dynamite was found on the night of
April 15 on the lawn in front of Mr.
Strange's house. Previous to that he
had received two letters anonymously
eigneri,in which the writer threatened
to treat him to a dose of three pounds of
the explosive.
At the trial of Sridel, Charles A. Doeb-
beler, who had been convicted of placing
the bomb on the lawn, declared that
Max Oehleschlaeger had been murdered.
"Where is Max Oebleschlaeger?‘ asked
Lawyer 7.. M. Ward, counsel for Seidel.
Doebbclcr's cx-confcderate.
”lie was murdered," was the reply,
and immediately the court room was in
an uproar. Scidcl sprang to his feet and
gesticulated wildly while his counsel
motioned for him to he still. and August
lilillcr, who occupied a seat beside Mr.
Ward, eat like a man about to be de«
trounced. His face blanched, his lips
quit-cred and he stared wildly at the wit-
nose.
Doebbilcr rose cilmy in his seatnml
lifting his arm slowly pointed his
finger direct at Miller, and said in firm,
determined tones:
‘ ()ohleschlaeger was murdered. and
you know it: you killed him."
Following the restoration of order by
Judge Hopper, Counsellor Ward (II'OPPtd
the subject at that point, and the states
attorney did not take it up. When
lloebbler and Starks were taken back to
jail Doebbler said:
“If you want to know who murdered
Max ()uhleechlaeger I‘ll tell you. It was
August Millenthe man who led the strik~
era in the riots. The last night Unble-
scblsger spent on earth was with Miller.
Miller is the man who placed the bomb
on Mr. Stronge’s lawn, and be is the in-
former oli whose testimony we have been
convicted."
Detectives have since been following
clues and obtained evidence enough
against Miller to warrant his arrest.

Norwalk People are Interested.
William Barry. who is billed to appear
at Hoyt’s Theatre next Saturday night,
has been calltd the Irish Crane ever
since he parted with his old-time partner,
Fay. He has now an Irish comedy, “The
Rising Generation," that depicts the rise
of an Irish immigrant who ventures into
politics, and, with the help of a "pull,"
goes into the Senate. In this play, Barry
convulsed New York, and it is said that
“The Rising Generation“ suits him better
than any piece he has ever had. Of
course there are songs and specialties in
the play and they are said to be
worked in cleverly. It is not the first
attempt of Mr. Barry to star alone, for
during the past few years Hugh Fay, his
