NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922, Children’s Home is Monument to Faith of Remarkable Minis{er Conversation Between Rev. Di. Klingberg and Policeman Johnson Shows Wonderful Results 19 Years Later It was on a Sunday evening in the summer, To he exact {t happened on the evening of May 17, 1903, Church services were over and the worship- pers had departed to their respective homes, But there was no happiness in a home in the northeastefn section of the city, A small family resided there, poverty stricken, ill, hungry and neglected, Policeman Charles M. Johnson was on the beat in that neighborhood. He knew the circumstances of the little family®and was worried, Rev. J, E, Klingberg, pastor of thé Elim Swed- ish Baptist church, had concluded his evening service and was strolling through Dwight street, enjoying the pleasant summer breezes on his way to the parsonage on nden street. The policeman met the minister on Dwight street and they stopped for a chat. The bluecoat told the story of the poverty stricken family, His Faith Was Great, As big in heart as he is in body, the minister was touched. With the guardian of the law as a guide he called on the family and was struck by the plight in which he found rwe parents and children. He hurried home and secured some food and clothing which he took back. “I'm going to take those three boys ‘REV. DR. J. E, KLINGBERG home and care for them,” he said. “It's too much, you can’t afford it,” replied the policeman. “I'll pray and God will show me the way,” devout- Iy répliéd: the clergyman, The next évening he ‘went to the tenement and took three boys, aged five, seven and nine years respective- ly, to the parsonage. The minister's wife, who stood waiting in the door- way, burst into tears as she saW the wan, pale, emaciated appearance of her new charges. She took them to her home and to her heart. They were given ‘baths, warm beds, good food and clothing. Within two weeks three other boys had been added to the group. Still believing that through prayer he would ybe able to support his charges, the ministes, extremely practical, also believes in the theory that “Faith without worKs is¥dead.” So he decided if he was going to have a home for children he would found a children's home. So_he rented a house on Ozone Height8, The Prayer Answered. Barely had the house.been opened and the six boys installed therein than a little baby was brought there. What was to be.done? A matron was need- ed at once. The minister called his little flock together and they held a prayer meeting. Mrs. Fred Anderson had an inspiration. 3 “I will close up my home for a week and serve as a volunteer matron for that period,” she said. Othér wom- en took the cue from her and volun- teer matrons supervised the rapidly increasing number of children until contributions enough had been receiv- ed t engage a permanent matron. Miss Florence Plerce, now wife of Herbert Heffler, and a missionary in South Africa, was engaged. The num- ber of children increased until a sec- ond and finally a third house was rented. Splendid Home. Today, on a hill top and overlook- ing the beautiful Connecticut hills and valleys for miles on all sides, stands an imposing brick structure, modern in every detail, which has cost at least $150,000. Surrounding it are 25 acres of some of the most valuable land in the city. Housed within its confines, made comfortable by modern furniture, the latest efficient housekeeping methods, etc, are 130 happy, healthy, growing children. And in all this time, not once has Rev. Klingberg, who has in the meantime become a D. D., asked for ‘one single contribution, Known World Over. The fame of this wonderful home, literally a ‘house founded on prayer," has spread all over the world, Con- tributions, voluntarily come from as far away as China, Japan, Russia, the Philippine Islands and other coun- tries, not forgetting Norway and Sweden. Every state in the United States alds in its support. Yet Rev. Dr. Klingberg, still its superintendent, the man who does big things' unostenta- tiously, has never asked nor received for his work, one cent in salary. “En- closed find $25, received for the sale of eggs laid on Sunday. Take $10 f yourself and $16 for the children) says a letter from a woman in South Carolina. How the Money Comes. “One of our members died and v decided because we knew it would please her best to devote the flower money towards the Children’s Home,” says a letter from a group of girls in THURS.

He is taken ill and dies, Hls broken-heart- ed mother sends $1,27 in pennles to the home, A wealthy woman is called to her élernal rest and the next mall brings a memorial check for $1,000, A group of children want to do somo- thing original so they hold n fair, and $2.78 finds it way to New Britain from Massachusetts, & Ohlo, South Dakota, Texas, Oregon Can- ada. Johnson Speaks, Yesterday t imposing edifice on Rackliffe Helghts wWas dedicated. Be- tween 600 and 700 New Britain peo- ple were present, Addresses ere made by 13 local ministers an by Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa. Patrol- man Charles Johnson, still on the force, was granted leave of absence b; Chiet Willlam C. Hart and told abou finding the three boys. The boys, by the way, have grown up and left the home. One is marrled and has a family of his own, @ne is {ll on a farm somewhere in the west, and one s in the U. 8. cavalry service, Mrs. H. 8. Chrlst(usen sang and CHARLES M. JOHNSON the women of the Elim Swedish Bap- tist church served refreshments. The Mayor’s Tribute, g Mayor Paonessa spoke as follows: “I consider it @ -privilege and &' pleasure to come here this afternoon and aid in may in the dedi- cation of 8" institution. The cor- rerstone was laid years ago in'the generous heart of Rev. John E, Klingberg. His love for children, his recognition of the suffering, of hu- manity and a self-sacrificing ‘zeal are the real cornerstone of the Children's Home. “He has won a place in this com- | ‘munity for himself and this institu- tion by his unfailing labor, his abso- lute fairness, his faith in the Creator and the children whom he has made good and useful citizens, who but for his werk, might have suffered many kardships and’ found this world a dis- couraging place in which to live; and it gives me pleasure to be present this afternoon and express to him, as mayor of the city of New Britain, the thought that New . Britain re. spects, loves and is proud of him. “Today, scattered throughout this city and state, there are many men and women holding responsible posi- tions, regarded as among the best citizens in their respective communi- ties, who ‘are the "product ‘of the Children's Home. They are honor- able, truthful, efficient, and rellable. They have been taught respect ' for the rights of their fellow men, and love of God and country. They are a monument to thé Children's Home and to Rev. Klingberg more enduring than any marble shaft which. might| be erected, and they are spreading the gospel of love and helpfulness through' the nation. “From a little actlon grows the mighty oak; and from!a handful of destitute children in a small tenement had grown this splendid edifice, sur- mounting the hills from whence it reay be seen for many miles, It Liouses a splendid effort. May its in- fluence continue, and may Rev. Kling- berg live for many, many years' to guide and govern it, “To him on behalf of the city of New Britain and its 60,000 inhabi- tants I extend sincere &ngratulations and hopes for continued success and long life.” e —————} OPEN NOSTRILS!

Willlam 'Ross, pagtor of tHe First ' Baptist church, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” was thén' sung by the £athering after which Mayor Angelo Paoneesa spoke. Vo P Address by Mayor Padnessa. In his talk ;Mayor Paonessa saild in part: . “We are assembled this afternoon to pause for a few short moments and pay tribute to the memory of the boys who offered upgtheir lives under their country’s flagf To me it is not an occasion for grief and sad- ness but rather a time for the rec- ognition of their patriotism; for a silent communion with their departed spirits in which to pay tribute to thelr loyalty and bravery, “When I say it is not a, time for grief sadness it is because I be, lieve that thoge who are gone, could they express their wishes, would say to us ‘do not mourn, our troubles are over, we are happy because we have done our duty. “Today we'let our thoughts wander back a few years and we.see these young men, strong, healthy and full of love for their country., We see fthem gathered from the stores, @he- tories and farms marching bravely away. We applauded, admired and cheered them. We heard of them in the training camps and then engaged in active warfare. Our hearts beat quicker:'and ‘we offered’up prayers for their safety and resolved that| their sacrifice should not be in valn. And then from time to time sad messages came telling that one after another had made the supremle sac- rifice, % i “It is sald that republics are un- grateful, but I do not believe that to be true; I much rather believe that republics are undemonstrative; that in fact they think and feel far more deeply and are more grateful than any other form of government; that they are conservative and that in dde time full measure of recognition and reward ‘will be made by this republic to its faithful sons. “These exerclses.are for-the dead, it is true, but to my mind they should be of benefit to the lving. These boys need no eulogy, require no re- grets. Thelr epitaph, short and sim- ple is the mést ¢loquent that can be written of man ‘He died for his country.'” Mrs. Howard E. Horton sang. “Lest We Forget” followed by Rev. J, Leo Sulllvan, pastor of St. Joseph’ church, who had for his topic, “Suf- fering, Humanity’s Greatest Teac®- cr” Father Sullivan expressed dis- appointment over the number of va- cant seats. Rev. Father Sulliva® Address Rev. Father Sullivan spoke as fol- lows: “A little over three years ago, on the verdant slopes -of Walnut Hill many of you gathered about an im- provised altar where memorial serv- ices were held for the first time, to commemorate the heroes of the world war, your sons and brothers. Then you heard the message of that day, a message of comfort and con- solation, and you went away strength- ened and!fortified with the thought that your dear ones were rewarded here below, because their deeds will ever live in the memories of their grateful countrymen, and in Heaven because God accepted the sacrifice of their young, tender lives. From the lips of the living, from the Memorial Day orators, we have recelved many and many ‘a heartening message which ‘lifted us from the hell of .de- spondency and despair to the Heaven “Today we might well ask. the silent 1ips of our hero dead to speak; to bring back 'a message from BEtern- ity so that we might see things and theilr meaning in their true light even as God and His blessed ones see Supreme VAUDEVILLE Featuring Diocletians,-and Jullan the Apostates, who know not the Lord, nor his Christ, nor the love of God . and nelghbor, Truly has our Christlan world passed through a long Gethse- mane since the spring of 1914 and the end s not yet, “The sorrowful Jourpey of n- kind durlng these awful ye of depth of pestilence and famine, the mental anguish, the uncertainty ‘that gripped our hearts ag our Christlan civilization was crucified by the am- bitions and lusts of ruthless politic- ians, drove us.all to the feet of Him whom we had. forgotten in times of peace and prosperity. And God heard our prayers and He commanded the winds and ‘waves of conflict and there came a great calm and the waters of war that deluged the earth receded and the ark of peace once again flashed across the heaven, a Bign let us hope of future peace and good will among Christian nations, Problem of Pain “Has the world, has mankind profited by this terrible experience?

Every- ‘oné hates war, and it was to end war that ‘those heroey fought and died.

It seemed as though all New Brit. ain turned out to witness the Armis- tice day parade on Baturday after- noon. Thousands thronged thé curbs on Main, West Main, Broad, Grove, Lafayette streets and Franklin Square to cheer the 4,000. marchers in the huge parade. Not since the day the Armistice was signed in 1918 has New Britain seen such a parade as that of Baturday, . Individual groups and floats were Cheered all along the route, Thé'vet- erans of the Grand Army. riding. in automobiles and the disabled veterans of the World war, also riding, were applauded. and cheered until the peo- Ple were hoarse.
