GETS 15 DAYS;
HAD Alluvial:
Pleading guilty to the charge of
carrying concealed weapons, 1‘;
year old Edward R. Newton. of
Taylor avenue. this morning was
given a. sentence of 15 days in
Bridgeport County jail by Judge
George H. Embursh in the uptown
city court. ,
Newton. at the time he was in
court, was under a. $1,000 bond to
answer to the charge of burglary
in the Court of Common Pleas. He
was taken to the county jail after
the hearing.
He was arrested by Patrolman
Dorney and Sweeney last night up-
on complaint of his brother-imlaw
Royal Osterbanks. of 58 Taylor ave-
prcached onz—“The Soul'l Quest."
Rev. Beard was born in Norwalk
May 11, 1833. From Yale in 1857.
he received his A. 13. Degree: in
1860 was awarded the degree of
A. M.: graduating from the Auburn
Union Theological seminary in 1860.
Rev. Beard received D. D. degree
from Syracuse university in 1875.
In 1860, he was ordained in the
Congregational ministry and held
pastorate: in Bath, Maine. and Sy—

"was pastor of the American church
in Paris, France. He has been as-
sociated with the American Mission-
ary associaton for several years and
since 1905 has been editor of the
American Missionary magazine. Ho
is‘now honorary secretary and ed!—
tor of the magazine.
During the middle of last week.
Dr. Beard was taken ill and spent
three days in bed. Late Saturday.
it was not known whether he would
be able to preach. But with the de-
termination of a much younger man.
Dr. Beard arose from his bed and
went to the ' church where he
preached his sermon. In the after-
the cornerstone of the new church.
The church was arranged with
cut—flowers and potted plantd in
memory of the mothers of members
of the church; some were provided
by Mr. Hanford in honor of Dr.
Beard. Dr. Board’s sermon in part
follows:
"We are anticipating today a new
structure to be dedicated to the love
of God and consecrated to the ser»
vice of man; a. house of God set
apart for the definite acknowledge-
ment and worship of Him who “is
over all through all and in you all."
It is in view of this interesting func-
tion that I am led to the question
just what do we mean by this? What
may be our conception of this su-
preme Being in whose name we
erect our churches? “‘fiat are our
relations to this great creative en-
ergy. the source of the universe
whose power 'upholds it all, and
whose will throbs in every atom and
in every pulsation of our hearts?

he had issued a. warrant on the re-

Indications are that five or six
arrests will be made by the State
police before tomorrow night on
charges of assault. The incident
grew out of the fact that a. deer-

to investigate. and. accompanied by
thirty to forty fox hunters. went to

gation and guests. many being turn-
in the decorating of the chapel.

Episcopal church. which is located
across the historic green. congratu-
lated the members of. the church and
the pastor upon the occasion. He
spoke of the fact that the two par—
ishes had been very closely connect-
ed for many years. He said St.
Paul's rejoiced in seeing the First_
Church start its new building which
would be another tribute to the
work of God. and. Would in its
strength. the better remind members
of the pioneer work of their Chris-
tian forefathers.
Rev. John Deyo, pastor of the
First Congregational church of Dan-
bury, congratulated the local church

nerstone of a new church at this
time was particularly appropriate
because of the'unrest and need of
religion.
Pastor Jacobs.
Rev. Fred Jacobs. pastor of the
First Congregational church of the
Second District, said:
“It is indeed fitting upon this Mo-
ther’s Day that the Daughter Church
on West avenue should bring a. mes-
sage of appreciation and love to
Mother Church on the Green. And
you will pardon the daughter. if she
seems to indulge in a bit of family
pride upon this occasion. For when
the daughter reviews the splendid
history of the Mother. so intimately
interwoven with the history of the
