flu in. II. B. lldd Preachcs a Deeply
{Blue-Ive Discourse on l‘alth at the
lupus: Tabernacle—Ber. r. a. some
on "My Saloon."
' A deeply impressive sermon was
preached, yesterday morning,by the Rev.
, EB. Kidd, in the South Norwalk Bap.
tilt church Bis text was, “We walk by
, faith, not by sight.” "Paul?” he said,
“was speaking of the surety of eternal
. life. We are to put no dependence upon
“personal ability, but take Christ as our
. all in all. Faith is a condition of success
in life, the basis of all knowledge. When
we were youths in school, the tear her
told us that two and two are four. We
, asked no explainstion; it cannot be
demonstrated or proven, but by faith we
1 believe it. Wesee the apple fall to the
earth and we are told that it is caused by
gravitation. We believe it is the attract-
ion of the earth; our faith lets us consent
' , sothis reason without further proof. The
same is true in all science, andin our re«
lation to our fellowmen. We must have
confidence in one another. Faith leads
to perfect confidence, confidence leads to
truth, and truth leads to happiness. An
Australian or other trader writes to our
merchant for goods of some sort. if
there was no confidence, no agreement
could be made. What proof has our
, “ tradesmen that the one ordering will
, pay, what proof that he is honest?
Books have been compiled, by reference
to which he can find the estimated worth,
the bank account of the other, but even
then what proof is there that the state-
ments are correct? There must be
trust in the one with whom
Originated the statements. So in
our family relations. Mother, fa-
ther, man, wife and children must have
faith in one another. The object of
faith referred to by Paul was Christ
It could be none other. We must al-
ways be true to our G.)d. He always is
true to us. We must be true in our relu-
. tion to temporal things. If this fact is
not recognized we must meet failure and
misery asths result. 1 firmly believe
that the present financial depression is
duetolack of confidence between man
‘ and man. Capitol and lab ir must have
faith in one another; each needs the
other. Faith is a divinely planted prin-
cipal; it is a condition of our success in
the spiritual life. It is the means of all
our knowledge of God. if I ask reason
why I am, whatI was made for, i re—
ceive no satisfaction, I seem to be follow-
ing a will-o-tbe-wisp. But when my
hungering and thirsting soul cries out
who is my creator,l hear the answer,
‘God.’ When my thinking, throbbing
brain “lives for something outside of
myself and 1 long for some one to whom
toturn, that brain cries out for God.
Without faith what would the Bible be?
Reason tells me it is a myth full of mis-
takes, but faith whispel‘s it is a divine
revelation. Reason can see only spJCUv
fation, faith seesa loving father ready
to redeem. You ask the proof of your
salvation, you ask the why of all these
things. lcannot tell you. Only lhlS
faith points to Christ. We must walk
by faith, not by sight. You have bright
hopes of the salvation of loved ones gone
before. You did not believe that when
you watched their eyelids close in death
and sat broken-hearted through the
lone night vigils beside your dead, morn-
ing dawned and you thought you never
could smile again, you followed through
the winding streets out to the mountain
side to the last resting place of your
loved-mo, i say, you (llli not believe
that was the end of it all. No; faith
lifted the veil, showing you a brighter,
better land where sorrow never enters.
Faith whispered that a loving, pityiog
father watched over you and was sim-
ply taking those you love to himself,
there touwait your coming when there
would be joy everlasting, pence eternal."
The tears shed by many were silent evi-
dences of hearts touched and awakened
by Mr. Kidd's words. in the evening
the pastor, Rav. It. 0. Sherwood, preach~
edanearnset sermon upon the subject,
”Tthsloon and the Community; or,
Thcltlghte and Duties of the Citizens
with Reference to the Saloon."
BB. NOBLE ON ”MY SAMOA."
Bu Preacher In the South Nurwalh Con-
grog-florist Church.
Rev. A. H. Wyatt, of the florwalk
Methodist church, occupied the pulpit of
the South Nor-walk Congregational
church, last evening. Although suffer-
‘ tug great pain from illness, yet Mr.
4‘" Wyatt preached an earnest and forcible
sermon, ssndlug shot after that right
hemewitb telling effect. Bis subject
was'dfy Saloon, ” and he brought clear-
ly‘anll distinctly out those people who
could look above the door of useless:
fill sss written titers lnglldgd letters the
We "fly Moon." There were five
patrons. Another class who could say
”My Saloon" were the temperate men,
Christian men, who came from temper-
ate homes, who voted for license because
they feared the patron of the saloons
would boycott them and thus they might
lose a few dollars. A third class are the
men who dodge the vote. Every voter
is responsible, whether he votes or not.
for by not voting he takes so much of!
one side and thus makes victory easier
for the other side. Still another class
were the men, many of them not voters,
who tipple, and take their beer now and
then. They encourage the saloon keeper
and encourage the license vote.
The last class who c iuld say my saloon
were those people who were utterly in
different to ouuages oimmitted by the
saloon. They stood like a stumbling
block, in the way of reform monuments
and discouraged, by their spithy, these
who worked for the rirht. Mr Wyatt
gave a thrilling accountof the “Women‘s
Crusade,” how it started, how the women
worked. how thousands of saloons were
closed and thousands of} young men
saved by their efforts. The women of
Norwalk can do likewise. "You can
do the some.‘ Why don't you do it?"
Mrs. Wheeler, the soprano of the Central
Congregational church, of Toledo, Ohio,
who is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
A. Graham, Elmwood avenue, sang “i
Know that My Redeemer Liveth,” from
the "Messiahf‘ "With Verdure Clad,"
from the “Creation," and “Where is my
Wandering Boy Tonight I": The delight-
ful quality of the singer's voice and her
ability to low pret the oratorio selections
made the musical psilion of the service
all that could be desired.
“GOD'S FASHION.”
A Sermon on the Healing of the Misti
wltli the l'alsy.
At the South Norwalk Methodist
church, Rev. A. S. Kavanagh preached
in the morning on “All Things in Christ."
and in the evening on “God's Fashion,"
the subject for the evening sermon being
the boiling of the man with the. palsy
who was let down through the roof at
Capernnum, and which caused the
Pharisees to exclaim, “We never saw it
in this fashion " Mr. Kavanugh vividly
pictured the scene in the house which
the people had packed to listen to the
words if Jesus, and allowed how he
exhibited the Messiahanic characteristics
that met the deiiinnds if the skeptics.
The faith of the four who took the
allltcted man to Jesus was mador the
subject of a fervent appeal for a Working
faith on the part of Christians—4 "shoe-
leuthtr faith," he termed it—that in-
spired to personal appeal. fie gave
incidents in his own experience of the
good this accomplished, and exhorted his
hearers to wear out their shoes as well
as the knees of their trousers in faithful
labor for the unconverted. There was a
large attendince at both services. The
musical prograiiiuic during the day in-
cluded asolo “Not a Sparrow Falleth,"
by Miss For, a duet, "l‘ome, Said Jesus,"
by Mrs. Salter and Mr. Andrews. At
the Epivortli League meeting in the
evening, Mrs. Salter sang "One Sweetly,
Solemn Thought. "

Mr. Watkins” vacation next month, the
pulpit will be occupied by Rev. L. l’.
Bissell. In the evening Mr. Watkins
have a brief address on "The Influence Of
God s Touch upon the Human heart." it
was the inspired influence of ( lod’s touch
upon the heart, be said, that justified the
meeting of a few men four years ago that
founded our little, but growing psl'fflfl.
Concluding the rector said: “May the
spirit of God touch your hearts to go

sed spirit lead us all in the spreading of

fir. lloblc on the Prayer Meeting.
Yesterday morning, at the Norwalk
Congregational church, Dr. Noble spoke
upon "The Genesis and History of the
Prayer Meeting,” taking for his text
Nehemiah 1., 25. it showed conclusive-
ly that the prayer meeting was an insti~
tutlon coeval with Christianity, was
founded by Cbrlstlauity's author, was
fragrant with Pentecostal memories, and
exceeding dear to the primitive apostolic
church. in view of these feels he raised
tbcqucstiotl sate whatought to be our
own personal attitude toward an iustltu»
tion founded by Christ, and so vitally w
Med to the dearest interests of menu.

the management to allow no applause,
but it was impossible to restrain the ex-
pressions of sincere approval accorded

dered. The duett for cello and flute.
“Serenade," by Titti, exquisitely played
by Messrs. Schsfl'cr and Webber, won
wellrmerited applause and they were

no orchestra has met with a warmer re.
ception then this one. and they fully dev
served the praise bistowed uponthem.
Mr. Fulton, the musical director, is a de-

one capable of rendering popular airs,
masterpieces of great composers, and sac-
red music in a manner highly acceptable
to music lovers and critics.

Iliad by the Defense—Arguments Col-
cludsd and ansclslon wlll bc‘ylcudcretl I
on Wednesday of this Week
The trial of the suit growing out of the
seizure of the oyster-boat "Rambler,” of
Rowayton, was resumed in the Stamford '
City Court, last Saturday,’ The lawyers
who were in court on Thursday were all
present excepting George E. Hill, of
Bridgeport. Attorney Gregory, of Nor-
walk, assisted counsel for the complain-
ant. Judge Downs overruled the demur-
rer filed by the defense on Thursday,
which claimed that the designations of
oyster ground fligned hy Selectmen Jere-
miah Klinefelter and Hiram Taylor,
of Dsiien, should not be admitted with-
out proof of the authority of Klinefelter
and Taylor to act as a committee. The
Stamford Advocate prints‘ the following
accountof the proceedings: _
The first witness for the plaintiff was
Oliver Cook, who claims ownership of
the grounds on which the “ Rambler”
was dredging. He testified that on May
l and other days he was out sailing,
and watched dredging done by the
“Rambler,” which he described as atwo- '
masted white sharpie, bearing the numv
ber 29. He was at times within a few
rods of her. On May 1 she was at work
with two dred'ges between Fish Island
and the Burbank tract. On May 3 she
covered the same ground. On May
11,15,18and29, June 11 and 15, he
claimed she was also dredging there.
The witness indicated, on a diagram
made by himself, the various places
where the dredging was done. The "Ram"
bier," he said, was engaged in the work
for at least an hour on the days men-
’ tinned.
The defense objected to the question,
‘iiave you ever planted oysters on that
ground. 't ’
Lawyer Warner believed the defense
claimed that the grounds were natural
beds, and for that reason the dredging
was legal. He held that the reply to the
question would tend to show that the
boat was liable to seizure for taking oys-
lets not belonging to her owner. The law
permits it than who has planted oysters
in good faith on public grounds to take
them up again upon finding that the
grounds are public. He did not umcede,
however, that these were public grounds,
because the designations tended to prove
that they belonged to Oliver 006k. The
question might properly come up, in the
absence of an answer to this question: If
Mr. Cook had not planted oysters there,
might it not be claimed that Mr. Cook
had no right there? The defense might
claim that, as there was no evidence that
Mr. Cook had ever planted oysters there,
he himself had no claim there. He said
further that he intended to prove that
there were persons within hearing of his
voice who had restrained a man from
taking oysters up again which had been
planted, in good faith, on natural oyster
grounds, by getting out an injunction,
and then failing the oysters planted by
the man.
Judge Perry, in reply, claimed that
theistic defining the boundaries of the
natural buds, providel that any
designations made previous to the
enactnicntol the law in 1858 could he
set. aside. ‘lhc place nil which It is
claimed the dredging was done are
specified as natural grounds by the en-
actment of ll-lH'i. He further claimed
that nuyoueliudarlght to go on those
beds and dredge, ills lust claim was
that there was no statute under which
this particular «use could be brought.
At 12:45, it being full" for I'l‘f,‘i.!l‘8,ll was
decided to continue the argument on this
question in tho albinism, and a decision
will be rendered by Judge Downs on
Wednesday.
