Sunday Sermons Preacher] by Nor-elk
and South Harwell Pasture.
Rev. Gerald E. Beard, pastor of the
South Norwalk Congregational church,
filled the pulpit of that church, Sunday,
aftera vacation season of four weeks.
In the waning, Dr. Board's discourse
was on “The Shadow of the Cross,” with
the text "As the shadow of a great rock
' in a weary land.” “In several places in
the Bible," said he, “is this same beauti-
ful figure of a shadow that is applied
to God. We read that God is as a shed-
ow from the best, we read- of men taking
refuge under the shadow of his wing,
and so on. These help us to better under-
stand out text. The prophet imagines a
vast desert without water or vegetation.
On its parched plains beat down the
fierce rays of the sun. But in the midst
of it is ahuge rock that casts a grateful
shadow on the ground beside it. This
shadow is a refuge and resting place for
the tired traveler in a weary land. Jesus
is to the whole human race as the shad-
ow of such a rock. So deep is the reality
of the experience it depicts, that the
shadow of the cross has ceased to be
figurative. It is the shadow of a great
rock in many a weary land of weary la-
bor, of competition, of nahallowed pride,
and unbridled passion.”
South Nmmptlst.
The services in the South Norwalk
Baptist church, Sunday, were conducted
by the pastor. Rev. R. 0. Sherwood. The
subject of the morning sermon was,
“The Cbangslees Christ,” and the text
was the words, "Christ is the same yes-
forday, today a forever.” Mr. Sher-
wood said: “For some time I have
thought and wondered what it was this
church wanted, needed most, and have
come to the conclusion that it is devel-
oped Christianity. Christ is ready and
willing to stretch forth his strong right
arm and aid in the developement. The
members of the church may falter and
grow discouraged; everything in life is
subjectto change, but Christ alone re-
mains the same forever; always a kind,
loving father, who Cares for the weakest,
the smallest one of us. We may have
friends in sorrow or trouble: we gets
them with pity, and sympathize with
them, but there is no solace equal to the
assurances that Christ changes not and
that he will aid, comfort and uplift. We
have Christianity in our church, but it.
has not yet reached the highest develop.
moat. Faith is a necessary adjunct to
this development, and Christ's omni-
preeence, combined with faith, will aid
us in living better Christian lives, up-
building our church on Christ the sure
foundation, and the story of the love of
the Heavenly Father which we carry to
those now out of Christ or in aseaof
trouble, will win them to him. “Appro'
prints and pleasing music was rendered
by the choir. At the conclusion of the
service the ordinance of the Lord's v-Sup.
per was observed. In the evening Mr.
Sherwood took for his subject “The
Father's Lament. over his Eiring l‘co-
plo."
South Norwalit Methodist.
Rev. A. S. Kavanagh resumed his pus-
lorul duties in the First Methodist Epis—
copal church, Sunday morning. He was
greeted by a welcome song by the choir
and a very pretty floral display. The
morning was devoted to the Lord‘s supper.
In the evening Mr. Kavanagh preached
upon "Lameness in Both Foot," his text
being from Samuel ii , 9, 13. After
showing the sincere friendship of llavid
for Jonathan, in which David was deplo-
ted as the model man, Mr. Kavanngh
dwelt with much force upon the lame-
nessin fricndly,sovial and political af—
fairs.aud the fact that it prevailed in
both foct,soto speak, in each of illt’rli)
circles, was cltarly presented. ills way
of escape for those evils is an. uncondi-
tional surrender along the whole line to
Christ, and thoacceptauco of his gospel
and example in everything we do.

Attire Norwallr Baptist church, Sun-
day evening, the pastor, Rev. 1“. E ltob—

a horrible eight.
The train was brought to a standstill,
and a brakeman left there to watch the
remane until the arrival of Medical Ex-
aminer W. C. Burke, Jr. He left South

to Undertaker H. S. Gregory’s rooms on

utes before his sudden ending, asked a
man in the vicinity of the track the.

exception, were so sick that they were
willing to die and be buried at sea with~
out gany ceremony, it was deemed advis-
able, on their account, to return. The

staunch vessel and it would have been

LOCAL TBLEPIIUNE ancestral}: : .
Some of the leading lea of the Town
Interested in the Interview.
Application has been made to both at
the City Councils and to the selectmen.
for permission to build and equips ion!
telephone exchange to cover the town of "
Norwelk. .
The application is made by J. J. Keen-
ins, the local manager of the Postal Tie-
graph company, who represents some of
the leading men of the town. The in,-
intention is to furnisha first-class system
and service at a reduction of about 50 per
cent. from present rates. A metallic cit»
cuit will be furnished in every instance,
thereby avoiding all trouble arising from
induction or from the trolley or ' ebotric
light wires.
’ A canvass will be made of the business
men and residents of the town, and if
satisfactory encouragement is received,
a. stock company will be formed of local
business men and arrangements made to
build the lines at once, providing, of
course, that a franchise is granted by the
authorities. »
The instruments to be used are known
as the magneto telephones, a late im-
provement upon the old style, whereby
no battery is needed to furnish the cur-
rent. A system of magnets furnishes
the necessary current and does not need
the care that the battery instruments do,
but lasts for an indefinite period.
Similar exchanges are now in sauce»
ful operation at Ridgelield, Winsted end
Stamford; one is being built at Danhnry,
and application has been made to the
Council at Waterbury to build an ex-
change there.
The maiu line will run between South
Norwalk and Norwalk, and itis intorded
to run cables on this line, thereby avoid-
ing an unsightly net work of wires and
adding to the efficiency of the service.
