Discourses by Other Clergy-ea,

Atthe First Methodist church. Rev.
A. B. Kavanagh had for his morning
tent “Thellord is withthmthoumighty
'manefvalor,” fromwhicb he preached
“introductory to the evening sermon
on ”Gideonandhis Noble Three Hun.
dred.” The morning discourse was to
show the preparation Gideon deemed
necessary for the conflict with the
enemies of Israel. and this in its essential
waea personal knowledge of God, his
own purification. and a destruction of
allthe idols of Baal. This gave him
great boldness with God. The evening
text was "The Sword of the Lord and
Gideon." God sought courage and
character, and when he had sifted
Gideon's fifty thousand to three hun-
dred, he hadallthemenheneeded. Kr.
Kavanagh described the details of the
operations between Godand Gideon with
minuteandinteresting detail, and then
drew these lessons: First, that the most
important factsrin God's work is God
himself; second, quality rather than
quantity receives God's approval and
blessing; third, God knows the heart and
cannot be deceived, and fourth, that
tbereieaday of revelationand separa-
tion. He exhorted hie hearers to make
the preparation required by God, that
they mightbemsn of mighty valor in
the battle against sin. ' The music and
singing by choir and congregation
throughout the day was unusually good
Ihney’s“liear us, 0 Father." was ren
dered in the morning, duet by Mrs. Sal-
ter and Miss Wyman, solo by Mr. An.

ing the "Holy Shepherd,” was given as
a duet by Mrs. Salter and ilr. Andrwes.

REV. B. O. SHERWOOD ON LABOR

"Whatsnever ‘l by land 'lldath to do. do
It Wlth Thy light.”

The Rev. B. 0. Sherwwod. pastor of
the South Norwelk Baptist church,
preached in that edifice yesterday. He
took his text in the morning from
Ecclesiastes ix.. to: “Whatsover thy
handfindcthtodo,doitwiththy
might.” He said: "God intended that
we should work. Adam and Eve, be-
fore the fall and after it, too. had work
to do. Adam was set to work dressing
and pruning the garden. The lsrselites
had work to perform; they were to con-
quer the Promised Land, and it was to
yield its increase under the work of their
hands. There is one of God's ordinances
which we do not always look at in the
important light we should. it is ‘six
days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work. but the seventh is the Lord thy
God’s, in it thou shalt do no work.’
There are six days given us in which to
perform the necessary duties. and we
should use them aright. It is wrong
to idle away these six days as well
as it is to labor on the seventh.
There are many kinds of work, and
there is work for each of us to do.
Christ said, ‘lly Father worketh hither-
to, and I work.’ Progress, development.
growth. involve labor. The best results
obtainable are those from faithful labor;
hutthcapirit and manner of our labor
will have much to do with the character
of the results. Much force, and conse-
quently much good results. are lost
through aimlesaness. The text implies
enthusiasm. which both lightens the
tasks and enriches the results. Let us

. have more enthusiasm in our church
work. i do not mean ‘bluster,‘ but gen-
uine, wholesouled earnestness. let us
have an absorbing purpose. Let our
Christianity mean something definite.
Much comes of concentration. What-
ever tends to weaken or divide will be-
come detrimental to church work. Let
nsnot be afraid of enthusiasm; it is con-
tagious, and if of the true kind will
bring glorious results. let us have faith
in our work, ourselves and in God. God
will not refuse to bless. The [remind
land lies just before us. it lies with us
tosaywhether weehallgouptopassess
it." The anthems rendered by the choir
were appropriate and pleasing. while the
solo parts were sung with earnestness
and sweetness fully felt. fir. Sherwood’s
evening subject was. “The Conclusion
of a Wise Man.”

There is probably no man in the country
who has a more intimate knowledge of
its religious needs. ' The cause of the
Congregational Home Missionary society
has been presented by him to leading
churches from Main to California, and
his addressee have the earnestness and
intensity of one who has personal ex-
perience of the hardships and difficulties
of a home missionary in the for West.
His pictures of the "darker side” of such
life were Dantean in their vividness and
boldness and will long be remembered
by all who heard him.

INSURANCE AGENTS BANQU ET!) I).

Superintendent French (divas Ills Subor-
dinates a Dinner at Waterside.

A banquet was tendered to the agents
of the Norwalk district of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company, which in-
cludes Westport, Darien and Stamford,
at Thomas’ Waterside pavilion. Stamford,
Saturday afternoon, by the genial super-
intendent of the district, John French.
The details of the allair were no less a
success than hlr. French's record as a life
insurance man.

The Norwallr employees of the com-
pany boarded the 2:?» train for Stamford,
and were met there by the agents of that
plow and members of the medical frater-
nity. The party at once proceeded to the
pavilion. where they sat down too tempt‘
ing spread. Covers were laid for forty
guests, and nearly every place was filled.
The tables were beautifully decorated
with cut flowers, and the cosine was ex-
cellent. The menu consisted of chowder,
clams, bluefisb, corn, potatoes, cucum-
bers, onions, tomatoes, lobsters. and
watermelons, washed down with re-
freshiug beverages.

After dinner cigars were lighted and
the speechmaklng began. lllr. French
made a few introductory remarks on the
qualifications necessary for a successful
insurance agent. He then presented
Thomas Hughes, a Stamford agent, with
a gold watch and chain as a reward for
excellent work during the year. Mr.
Hughes responded in an apt speech.
The second prize, a ten-dollar gold piece,
went to James B. Nash, of South Nor-
walk. The regrets of Dr. Day, of West~
port, and Dr. Baker, of East Norwalk,
at their inability to be present, were ex-
pressed. The assistant superintendents,
the medical fraternity, the agents. and
the members of the press were heard
from.

All voted the afternoon a mmt enjoy-
able one.

NEW TRACKS NOW IN USE

A BIG UNDERTAKINO CONSUI-
HATED BY THE CONSOLIDATED.

A loves of If: Hundred Hen lmplnyad
Yesterday in flaking Connections by
Which the" Section Between South lar-
vvalk and Rwanda Was Put In Service.

A big undertaking, involving the put-
ting in service of the new section of the
road between South Norwslk and Ro-
wayton, was consummated yesterday
by the Consolidated Railroad company.
and six miles of new track is in use to-
day. The services of about 600 men
were required to do the work involved.
The plan of operation had been carefully
made by Roadmaster Ellwall, of Stam-
ford, and his orders were carried out to
the letter by eleven foremen, each in
charge of a large gang of men. as Well as
the conductors of five working trains.
The foreman employed were John O’-
Leary, P. McGrath. P. Clancy, '1‘. hic-
hiahon, J. 1‘. Reilly, A. Tierney. ll. Fin-
lon, J. Callahan and O. E. Everett. The
conductors of the work-trains were
Undsrhill. Spenca, Roddy, Parsons and
Ross. Besides all the men under their
charge, a large force was supplied by the
contractors engaged in the work be-
tween Soutb Norwalk and Glsnbrook.

The first connection was made at Row-
ayton by Ichrnth's men. The west-
bound track was connected in ° time
for the train which left South Norwalk
at 9:15. O'Leary's and Clancy's gangs
made connections at Whistleville. This
was done between i and 1:45 p. m. The
connecting of the old with the new tracks,
in such a short time. required some hustl-
ing. There was a lot of filling to be done,
stone ballast to be brwght from Milford
and unloaded, and work on the bridges.

The new section is about three miles
long, and includes the new out between
South Norwalk and Rowayton—one of
the most expensive pieces of work on the
whole line. The new line, besides reliev-
ing a sharp curve which has caused lots
of trouble in the running of trains be.
tween South Nor-walk and Stamford, and
making a much better grade, eliminates
four grade crossings, and in many ways
effects an improvement.

The work of filling in and making the
grade for the additional two tracks will
now proceed, and it is expected that
within two months the new road-bed
will be ready all the way from Glenbrook
to South Norwalk.

Superintendent Shepard issued a notice
to conductors and engineers, stating that
after trains Nos. ll and 126 passed Sun-
day, trains would be turned on to the
new tracks between Whistlevllle and the
first curve west of Darlen. and thereafter,
until further notice, west-bound trains
would run track W, and east-bound
trains X over this section. Eastbound
trains must not exceed a speed of twenty
miles an hour on any part of this section,
and reduce speed where green slgnulssre
shown. West-bound trains must enter
and leave this section at reduced speed,
and look out for slow signals on the sec-
tion. Station stop at Dsrien will be made
at the new station west of the present lc~
cation. There is to be no passing turn-
out, west-bound, between South Nor-

CONCERTS AT ROTON.

An Enterprise that the Tramway Oom-
puny has Under Advisement.

The last meeting of the present board
of dlrectcrs of the Roma Point Improve-
ment Company was held in the hotel at '
the Point, last week. The report of Gen-
eral Manager Finkeneteln was accepted...
showing that the season had been a very
satisfactory one. Between $4,000 and
$5,000 indebtedness of the company hes
been paid.

An interview was bad with represent-
atives of the Tramway Company, inse-
latlon to their lease unto the Pomt, and
an understanding was agreed upon that
the company should run their cars as
late as 11 o’clock at night next season.
The Tramway Company talk of leasing
the grounds of the company during the
present mouth. for the purpose of giving
band concerts until November int, and
the matter will be settled early this week.
Secretary and Treasurer E. A. Wood-
ward has charge of the matter. Should
the Tramway Company decide to do
this. there is scarcely a doubt that the
attraction of a good band of music would
draw nanny people to the popular shore
resort, while proving a paying venture
to llu- enterprising Tramway Company.
