Berlin News L IMPRESSIONS OF _ NATIONAL GOUNCIL Rev. Carleton Hazen Tells of Con- ference in New Haven STANLEY ROWLEY KILLE Popular Young Man Crushed to Death #t Trap Rock Plant—Grangers Shoula dent—Other News: Rev. Carleton Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Congregational church, Eave an interesting sermon at the morning service yesterday on the work of the National Council of Congrega- tiofml churches, which was held in Haven during the past week. An bbstract of Mr. Hazen's sermon fol- Hows: “Text: Revelation 3-22, ‘He that Eath an ear, let him hear what the ipirit saith to the churches.’ “The Spirit has messages for the churches of our own time, messages atyfind occasion in the providence of o}:n the immediate present, and ithat are being given to the churches by :men of God in whom the Spirit [dwells. The meeting of the National ouncil, together with the missionary nd benevolent socleties that have at hig time become more fully than eretofore part and parcel of the ouncil, furnished as complete an ex- h ib&as could well be made within an ight? days period, of what our Congre- Fational churches are and what they gre trying to do. “First may be mentioned the exhibit £ the actual workers in our mission- Rry societies and some of their pro- ucts. The interesting exhibit of itergture and charted and tabulated ments in the parish house of the Jnited Church cannot be compared pvith the cxhibit of men and women. ho are fresh from the front, with pinds and hearts full of the great work to which their lives have been ommitted, “Onc feature of peculiar personal rtegest was that my brother from n introduced before the meeting bf the American board four students rom that country, who are now seek- Worry—Runaway Acci- to the missionaries from India, Africa, China and Turkey. More were present from Turkey than from any other country, because present conditions have compelled them to leave their flelds. Though we have become so accustomed to heart-rending . tales from across the sea during the past vear of continental war, their story of what has taken place in Turkey dur- ing recent months in unprovoked wholesale massacre of the peaceable race of Armenians, and depnrtauon in- volving hardships and * cruelty and death by the hundréds of thousands, was such as no one could listen to without moistened eyes and bated breath and the prayver: ‘How long, O Lord, how long!” In the woman's meeting some dozen of the missionary women told in a few sentences, “Why 1 want to go back to Turkey. “In the American Missionary ex- hibit were included such persons as Henry Roe Cloud, a Winnebago In- dian, H, H. Proctor of Atlanta and Booker Washington, the foremost American Negro, who received his education at Hampton Institute. “The action of the council which will mark this meeting in our histori- cal evolution was the bringing to completion the changes of organiza- tion that will make the council the controlling body in the operation of all our joint missionary and benevo- lent societies, and a re-alignment that will bring into closer co-operation in kindred groups several branches of our work, though without a complete merger of the separate socletles at present. This will set the Home Mis- sionary society, and the Church Build- irg society and the Sunday school mission work in a missionary exten- sion group and another group will be devoted to various lines of education. “The background of the world at war and the massacres in Turkey gave direction and touching emphasis to raany of the words that were spoken. Or one evening Dr. Aked of San Fran- cisco spoke on ‘An International Con- gclence,” taking the position of a strong pacifist. Dr. Gordon who fol- lowed him, with the topic: ‘Our Conflict and Our Resources,’ speaking from a differenit angle, yet expressed the view that the miseries incurred through the war will tend to put an | end to war. The council sermoun by | Dr. Davis, formerly of New Britain, was a strong presentation of the Gospel of Jesus for a world at war. | And the great student and missionary leader, John R. Mott, assured us that the bonds of brotherhood in student and missionary circles are not broken, but will be renewed and strengthened when the war comes to an end. “Resolutions expressing the senti- ment of the council that unnecerrary | cxpenditure for increased armament | by our country be avoided, that our government should do whatever it is possible to do in union with other ng further cducation in land. Bach of the four spoke words remarkably clear and rrect nglish, testifying to the help received rom our missionaries, and then fol- wing a common custom of their ountry, each placed a garland of hryfanthemums about the neck of ne fand another of the officers who cere cn the platform. My brother's vife also spoke at the meeting of the man’s board. ‘Another similar exhibit came from Jre coral strand of the Gilbert Tslands, hen after an interesting address by e-missionary, a native of the nds as introduced, who has been sent to is_country by special gifts of the tivés to assist in preparing for the blication of the Bible in their lan- ge. He also spoke in purest Eng- h, though it was said that he ied English in a German school. neutral nations in securing peace, and urging measures to save the non- Mohammedan population of Turkey, were carried to President Wilson by a delegation from the council. “Summing up, the message of the Spirit to go to the churches scems to be: First, since the churches by their regularly appointed delegates have taken over the entire work of our missionary societies, that work in all its branches ought to receive heartier support than ever before. No one in the spirit of individualism ought to say against the judgment of all the churches, ‘T do not believe in mission- ary work,’ or ‘I am not interested in Lome missions,’ or ‘T don't care for, {foreign missions.” Secondly, upon the dark background of war and massacre, | through this fearful baptism of blood, we ought all to rise to a higher trust tlan principles of truth and righteous- ness and far from settling down in ease and thankfulness that we dwell in peace, we ought to be baptized to a deeper consecration to our Lord and His church and kingdom. Meets Horrible Death. Stanley Rowley, a well known young man, met a horrible death at the Berlin-Suffield Trap Rock com- pany’s plani in Beckley Saturday aft- ernoon at 3:45. Mr. Rowley was employed as a shipping clerk by the company. It was nearly closing time and the engineer asked him to call one of the men, whose duty is to slip off the belt. Evidently, Mr. Row- ley decided to perform the act him- self, for he was found pinioned be- tween the pulley and a post a few minutes later. His neck was broken and it is probable he met with death instantly. There were no witnesses to the accident. Medical Examiner Griswold was called and he gave per- mission for the removal of the body. Mr. Rowley was very popular among the townspeople for his pleas- ing manner and personality and there were many expressions of regret when his death became known. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Row- ley of Beckley and would have been 22 years old, if he had lived until to- morrow. He is also survived by a wife and an infant son, who is eight weeks old. General Manager Steele of the Trap Rock company said Mr. Rowley was an efflicent and faithful employe and expressed the concern’s sympathy for his family. His associates also spoke in the highest terms of him. The funeral will be held from his late home in Beckley tomorrow aft- ernoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congre- gational church, officiating. Burial will be in Beckley. Echo of the Fair. Faith_in human nature has once again been shattered. Prior to the Berlin fair, the Berlin Grangeé decided to run an eating table during Fair week at the grounds. Following pre- cedent, the member who made the motion was appointed chairman of the booth. The booth was' a decided success, netting a profit of $128. All well and good, you say and it seems so but “There's the rub.” The chair- man up to the present has made no formal report and indications show no sign of his doing so. He was asked to attend meetings since then but did not. A few days ago he moved his family to Southington. His friends say he will return but others and there are many, say if he would not attend meetings, when 1iv- ing here he certainly will not come from Southington to hand in his re- port. The Grange will meet tomor- row night. Man Injured—Horse Killed. Samuel Adavijamtik of Meriden is a patient at the Meriden hospital to- day, suffering from a broken leg. He received the injury when thrown from his team on Friday evening. He and a friend came to the Connecticut Valley Orchard to get a load of cab- bage. They had loaded the wagon and were starting to return when the horse, which was a very spirited ani- mal, began to shy, Adavijamtik be- came frightened and jumped from the wagon. When he fell his leg was doubled under him, The noise of the fall frightened the animal still more and he kicked him- ! self free and continued his trip. When he reached the Hollister farm, he -rln into the driveway. An effort was made by some men to stop him, but | he evaded their attempts and con- | tinued his wild journey wuntili he “It 1 impossible to refer in detail! and confidence in God, and the Chris- | stepped on a stone, slipped and was | reading room. ‘The receipts from the Pialnville News REALIZE OVER $600 FOR LIBRARY FUND Mother Goose Fair Proves Splen- did Financial Success DETECTIVES AWAIT “SKINNY” State Police Keep Steady Vigil For Al- leged White Slaver—Aged Veteran Drops Dead—Local Young Man Hurt in Waterbury—Other Matters.

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Gould of Whiting street, spent many anxious hours Saturday owing to their inability to get any decfinite news con- cerning the report circulated here that the young man had been killed. They were advised Friday night that Victor had met with a fatal accident in Wa- terbury. Saturday after making frantic efforts to learn something about his fute by 'phone. the young man’s par- | ents went to the Brass city in search of him. At the factory where he had heen employed they were told that he bhad resigned his place a few days ago. They could get no information at the Boys’ club, where he roomed, other than the fact that he had not been ‘n the place since Wednesday. The po- lice, hospital authorities and his friends were interviewed but all pro- fessed to know nothing regardinz Gould’s whereabouts or the accident which he was said to have met with. They returned home ignorant of his fate. Yesterday Gould came to Plain- ville. He told his parents that he had hurt his head by a fall from a ladder last Wednesday and had since been staying at the home of a friend. Town Will Have to Borrow. First Selectman W. J.
