‘teresting account of the histori-
cal facts to establish the truth of
the birth, life, euflarings. death
end resurrection of Christ. He said this
wee oneof the most stubborn facts of
the world’s history, and one that skeptics
had vainly endeavored to hint. This wee
established without the Bible. Further-
more, it wee shown by the loyalty of hie
disciples. They were not only fisher
men. but physicians end officials, men of
the strangest commoh eenee,end of learn-
ingae well. They ccmpanioned with
the Saviour. knew his life and tested hie
resurrection. They were not tied up to
einytb. They knew him so well they
loved him end died for him. The efforts
of the Jews to prevent any deception as
to his resurrection, established it. His
tomb was sealed with tie Rimsn seal
and guarded by Roman soldiers. To
claim that the soldiers elept while the
disciples stole the body was absurd, end
entitled to no consideration, except to
show the straits to which the Jews were
put. These granite facts of the personal-
ity of Christ remains through ell the
assaults of the centuries. Mr. stsnagh
will preach from theseme text next Sun

Norwalk Congregational.
At the Norwelk Congregational church,
yesterday morning, Rev. T. K. Noble
prea .hed upon " The Passing of the Ye are
and What it Should Teach Us.” taking
for hie text I Corinthians, vil., 20. After
calling attention to the recognitions of
the flight of time end the brevity of
human life found in both inspired end
uninspired writings, end emphasised by
our own experience, he showed that this
universally recognized fact should lead
us to pause in these closing days of the
old year end take an observation end
find out for a certainty whether or not
we etc in the King’s highway. It should
also impel us to a breeder discrimination
between the things we may rightfully
do end the things we may not do. That
time isan important factor in determin-
ing what we may do and what we may
not do,and that it behooves us in our
studies and in our reading and in our
amusements to spend life's golden hours
only upon that which is best. In the
evening the pastor continued hie die
courses upon “The American Home."
The Christmas music wee repeated and
greatly enjoyed by the large congrega-
tion.

Rev. G. H. Beard concluded his aer«
men on "The incarnation," in the South
Norwalk Congregational church. yester-
day morning. presenting the subject in a
clear and forcible manner. At the even
ing service interesting papers were read
by John Petro and William Basso. giving
their Christian experience and their work
as Hungarian missionaries. The work
begun two years ago in Springwood by
members of this church has had a rapid
growth and proved a great help to many
of this nationality. large numbers of
whom were present at last night’s eer‘
vice. Not one in the congregation could
5,,“ go be impressed by the earnestness of
these two men. and a deeper interest
was evinced in the good work being
carried out at the mission. The pastor
gave a brief outline of the work. and the
music was beautifully rendered by the
large choir.
Baptist Prosperity.
At the First Baptist church. yesterday,
the Christmas musical programme was
repeated. The pastor, Rev. 1". E. Rob-
bins, gave a brief review of the year.
Notwithstanding the financial stringency,
at the last business meeting, held a short
time ago, the treasurer reported “all bills
paid and money in the treasury." Dill"
ing the year twenty~three have been bap-
tized into the church, twelve being men
and nearly all heads of families; nine
have joined by letter; five have been re-
moved by death. llr. Robbins gave a
law statistics concerning those who have
united with the church during his minis»
try of three and one-half years in Nor-
wslk. One hundred and sixty have been
received into the church: 100 by baptism.
The average age of the converts was
twenty-six and one-half years. Ifr. Rob-
bins hes also attended nearly one hun-
dred funerals, the average age of the de.
ceased being thirty and one-half years.
in closing the pastor said you may put
there two averages together and they
may teach you that now is the accepted
time. ,

Dean Blitz—At a meeting of the (title
sens committee. last evening. it was the
unanimous opinion that a late girder
bridge over the Main and ashlngton
street crossing here would henpreferabls
to the proposed trus‘e bridge, a if our city
engineer, Mr. Briggs, will endeavor to
see Mr. Curtis today and consult with
him about the practicability of making
such change in the construction.
Trusting that If such a change is pis-
sible it;may have your approval, I' am,
on behalf of the committee,
Yours very respectfully
, JOHN A. SLATER.
Chairman of special committee.
in answer to the above letter, the citi-
zens' committe were invited to meet the
railroad officials at New Haven again
last Friday afternoon. At that meeting
place ofa plate girder bridge over the
Washington and Main street crossing. in
place of the propose] truss bridge, were
laid before the committee. The plane
contemplate throwing open to the public
a large portion of the railroad property.
vie : Fifty feet in length on the west
toward the present station, and thirty
five feet on the east toward the lock fac-
tory. Copies of the plans can be seen at
Taylorik Golden's office. in considera-
tion of changing their plans, the railroad
company ask concessions from the peo-
ple of South Norwalk which are set forth
in the the following letter from President
Clerk:

New Haven, Conn, Dec 28. 1894
John A Slater, Esq , chairman, etc,
South Nm’u'aIk, Conn.
Dean Sim—Referringlo the personal
interview be.ween your committee and
our chief engineer, Vicerprenldent Hall
and the writer at New Haven, today.
and for the purpose of putting in definite
form the repositions made, let me say:
That this company, instead of follow
ing the precise plane approved by the
Railroad Commissioners for the elimins
tion of the grade crossings at Washington
and Main streets, in South Norwalk, will
construct the work as shown on the
tracing, copy of which is transmitted
herewith. provided the company is
relieved from all claims for damage
growing out of the"chsnge of grade or
the construction as propoetd. and be
furnished with the strip of land six feet
in width in the rear of the Ferris end
Ely properties on the south side of the
railroad.
You will remember that without any
order the company has consented to.
and is undertaking. the widening of
Spring and Monroe streets. in the plans
submitted to the Commissioners for
Washiuiton street. it did not seek to
occupy any part of the street or public
property of South Norwalk. Your
proposed plan will devote to public uses
a considerable area of the company’s
pro rly both on the east and west side
of l e main cruising end will practically
dou‘ilo the roadway under the tracks of
the railroad.
By this arrangement it will be in your
power to lessen the headroom at the
crossing if you consider it for the interest
of the city to do so.
While the proposed structure will he
more expensive to construct and to main-
tain, the arrangement proposed will re-
lieve the company from an antagonism
with any of the citizens 0 South Nur-
walk with reference to this, its principal
crossing.
As this company is desirous of finish-
ing the work through South Norwaik at
the earliest practicable day. and is al-
reedy making its plans upon the basis ap—
proved by the Railroad Commissioners.
it cannot undertake to hold this proposi-
tion open indefinitely, and we must there.
fore ask that it be accepted by the 5th of
January, 1805. or if not accepted by that
time we shall consider that we are at iii»
any to proceed with the work under the
existing order.
if this proposition is accepted. we have
in; doubt that the Commissioners will sp-
p on of the muddled plan or joint appli
dation of the city and railroad at any
time. but we must of course make it sub-
ject to this approval. Yours truly,
CHARLIE P. CLARK, President.
On Saturday the committee saw, as
far as possible, the parties in interest.
and are awaiting their answers. The
committee have no personal interest in
thematter any farther than that they
believe the new plans submitted by the
railroad are incompsrehly better for
South Norwalk than the original ones,
with the truss bridge and abutmente
each side of the roadway.
