AI IMPORT AST CHEISTIAH EHDEAVOE
EVEIT.
Never shone an October sun more be
nignly and never were weather and roads
more perfect than upon the 25 :h Inst.,
when delegates : from all the Endeavor
societies In the Pomperaug Valley Union
started on their drive for the annual meet
ing to begin at 3 p. m., in the historic
old Congregational church at Bethlehem
on the heights. Some brave members
drove 13 to 14 miles and felt well repaid.
With President Albert Pearall in the
chair, Itev C. C. Redgrave of Morris open.
ed the' session with a scripture reading
and Dea Scott offered the invocation
Immediately following and without waste
of time the printed program was obeyed
and Miss Lillian Wheeler of North Wood
bury delivered a lengthy but pithy and
interesting address upon Heading the
Bible; Why. A few extracts are given.
We all realize the presence of an in
stinct in the human heart that reaches
out above Itself lu search of something
better. In many a heart alienated from
God this .desire is dormant, only await
ing the touch of divine love to kindle it
into fervent service. God in infinite wis
dom foresaw this need of the human
heart and provided Ills word as a revela
tlon of himself. And the Bible reveals
to man the plan of salvation. God has
made the story of the book such a one as
man will read and be interested in. The
Bible is God's way of making us compre
hend our sin and Ills ability to save us
It is the hiirror in which we see our
selves as we are; but, thank God, it is
also the Light which guides us upward
"Blessed Lord, who has caused all holy
scripture to be written for our learning,
grant that we may In suchwise bear
them, read, mark and Inwardly digest
them, that by patience and comfort of
Thy holy word we may embrace and
ever hold fast the blessed hope of ever
lasting life which thou bast given us in
our Lord Jesus Christ."
Miss Amy A. Nettleton of Washington
spoke on ilow to read God's word. Her
remarks were excellent ard to the point
Among other things, God commanded
His people through the prophets to
hearken diligently and to seek out of the
book and read. We must take time and
pains, and daily labor to learn His will
from His word. We must also read with
a willingness to obey, for His promises
of good to us are always conditional up
on our own acceptance and living. We
cannot read the Bible understanding
without prayer and the direction of the
Holy Spirit. Jesus said When the Spirit
of Truth is come, He will guide you into
all truth. The Holy Spirit comes to those
who ask for His indwelling.
Rev J. D. Smiley of South Britain
spoke npon the time for reading God's
word. "Never," said he, "have I known
a person hungry and well to need urging
to eat good food. The same natural law
applied to spiritual things will cause
christians to seek, read and digest the
Bible when they need it and hunger for
it. Cultivate a spiritual hunger and
thirst and we shall find time to read and
study the Book. To be a diligent student
of the Bible Is essential to the growth of
the Christ nature In His followers. We
need to read the Bible consecutively and
at length, and not let the divisions of the
chapters interfere with a reading and
vein of remarks and reflections. To take
an entire book or epistle as a single read
ing is necessary sometimes to enable us
to retain the connection of the incidents
and characters from the beginning." Mr
Smiley followed these remarks with in
spiriting incidents from the state con
ventlon at Middletown from which he
basjust returned. An Informal discus
sion of the subjects ensued. Rev Ed
ward Ayer said, "Just remove Christ
from theBible and what is there left.
Let us familiarize ourselves with the life
of Christ by the study of "Slatker's or
Gekle's Life of Christ." Rev Mr Red
grave exclaimed, "I pray God for a re
vival of the good old virtue of reading
and memorizing the scriptures !" Rev J
L. R. Wyckoff of Woodbury remarked
earnestly, "To be ignorant of the Bible
is to be ignorant of the world's most im
portant literature, and ignorant of the
history of man. It reveals God to map
and man to himself. Above all reasons
for reading the Bible is because God
commands It. Young Chiistian, if at
first you have no taste for reading your
guide book get it by reading because it is
your duty. Don't expect to understand
it all at first. Pray that the Spirit may
Interpret it to yon.
Pastor Carter of Washington believe
that the misuse or neglect of the Bible
means the misuse or neglect of our own
best life. To read It with a map before
you will increase the Interest.
The annual election of officers resulted
in the choice of Hollister Sage of the
South Britain society for president and
Miss A. A. Nettleton of Washington for
secretary, and the choice of North Wood
bury as the place of the next quarterly
meeting. This will be held In December,
in all probability, the date to be deter
mined later. A collation was served in
the chapel and the hospitality and good
cheer were enjoyed by all. Even the
visitors horses were not forgotten but
were housed and fed carefully, proving
that Christian Endeavor is not merely a
theory In beautiful old Bethlehem.
The evening service opened at 6.45 with
a praise service lead by Mr Gordon of
Woodbury. Rev Mr Wyckoff read the
Scriptures and offered prayer. The ad
dress of the evening was given by Rev J.
A. Freeman of Woodbury, and was an
eloquent and inspiring appeal. , His sub
ject was "The importance of communica
tion-with God." In opening he said the
aim of the Christian Endeavor should be
to make Christian, work easier and more
natural for all, and to make life brigh
ter and sweeter. In one way or another
the Christian was building a temple of
God. Tao foundation of this temple
should be personal character, business,
Ditriotlsm and churchly activity. This
temple of God is a living thing. Chris
tian Endeavorers must have character
according to the teachings of the Lord
Jesus. Christian Endeavor also means
business. The devil ha bad too much
his own way in business. If business Is

NEW PRESTON.
A FIRE AT LAKESIDE.
About 7 o'clock on Saturday morning
the alarm was given here that W. G
Beeman's-livery barn at Lakeside was
on fire. Before any from here could
reach the place, the building was well
nigh destroyed. It must have broke out
a bom 6 30 and being nearly two miles
from this village, time was consumed to
that degree as to render the villagers un
able to lender much help. ; Tbe resi
dence of Mrs O. J. Winans, where Mr
and Mrs Beeman also reside, was barely
saved by spreading blankets soaked with
water. Of his horses, but four out of
10 were saved. The fire, after original
ing, spread so fast It was impossible to
loosen the animals from their stalls
and get them out through tbe smoke.
Mr Beeman, with the help be had, sav
ed his wagons and carriages and most of
his harness. We are sorry to learn
there was no Insurant e on tbe building
or contents. The cause of the fire is
thought to have been from a stove used
in the south part of the barn to warm
djnamlte which he and his workmen
were using on tbe lot of H. S. Mygatt'a,
near by. While he and his men were
busy elsewhere tbe fire started. Quite
a crowd gathered from the immediate
vicinity and this Village as toon as pos
sible but too late to do good except to
save adjoining buildings. Our sinoere
sympathy ; is extended to Mr Beeman
and family in their financial loss and
great Inconvenience caused, especially
at this season of the year. Mrs O. J.
Winam loses a faithful family horse,
which she has used for two years In all
her drives. ; Mr Beeman has three span
broken, not being able to rescue one
pair which have worked together, and
two single drivers. .
AT TBS VILLAGE CHURCH.
Rev Mr Evans gave the congregation
at the Village church, last Sunday
morning, a fine Bermon'upon the theme
of making a right decision for life, char-
acter and our eternal welfare.' His text
was found In Ruth 1 :16 -17. His idea
seemed to be that as scattered over the
earth's surface there are many roads
and cross roads, so in human life there
are many ways for the young to take,
but few that are rlgbt,and we must early
decide where we are going ar d as soon
decide the road we will take. Having
entered the Christian course one needs
1 10 ma .e me rigat caoice 01 companion
and be cautious in regard association,
"Thy people shall be my people and thy
God, m y God." TLua we are assured
of a right way through life and die In
the hope of a glorious immortality. ,
NEW" PRESTON CHAMPION HUNTER.
J. B. Stillson, as a marksman and bird
hunter," cannot be excelled here. Two
days last week with two friends and Mr
Stillson's excellent dog, they bagged be
tween 30 and 40 birds, quail, woodcock

with his gun. t We were shown, Friday
evening, a brace of more than 50 blrds.in
Mr Stillson' market, the mnjority. of
which Mr Stillson claimed by bis marks
manship. It we could bunt or hit the
side of a barn we should be tempted to
"take to the woods" with musket most
of these pleasant October days.
. Maj Burnbam still continues to make
small alterations in and about his new

A fow years ago, Mr. L. W. Qallabcr. was
