Norwich, Nov. 10, 1909, WITHOUT DENOMINATIONAL BIAS Five Full Weeks' Moetmgs Have Eeen Attended With Increasing Interest. After a careful and almost constant observation of the work of Dr. Stough and his associates, I am free to say I consider it the most effective of any similar effort that has ever been un- dertaken in this city. It has been so entirely without Jeneminational bias, and so completely given over to the one object of elevating the moral and religious tone of the community, that it seems to me to merit the commen- dation of every citizen who values the good reputation of the town. Continued for five full weeks, the meetings have been attended with ever increasing Intsrest and good results, and 1 believe their influence for good will long continue. Dr. Stough, whose ability and zeal are seldom equaled, Rev. Mr, Cunningham, who does won- derful work beth with his cornet and as a preacher; Mr. Spooner, whose fine leadership has held tegether the mag- nificent great chorus, and Mr. Her- ring, whose beautifully rendered solos have toeuched so many hearts, all these make a combination of Christian work- ers of exceptional ability and power. Thelr efforts here have their complete justification in the results already at- tained as well as those which will surely follow. COSTELLO LIPPITT. Norwich, November 11. 1209. THE WOMEN'3 WORK.

MRS, FRANK ALLYN ROATH. Norwich, November 10, 1909. THE SINGING AN INSPIRATION. The Fellowship Beautiful and Helpful Beyond Estimate. The singing has been an inspira- tion. The preaching has brought us face to face with truth with a grip of con- viction jrresistible. The fellowship of ministers and peo- ple of the different churches has been beautiful and helpful beyond es- timate, and can only serve to create a sympathy and unity among Christ's people in Norwich that prophesies much for righteousness and the king- dom of God. Many have received a new vision of Christ. Many have been blessed and will become centers of blessing. Many have found Christ to the saving of their souls. May many more find Him before the harvest ceases! REV. JEROME GREER. Norwich, November 10, 1909. A Test of zenship. They set up a great catouse because there wasn't one of the twenty-four members of a history class at Brown university who could give the full names of the president of the United States, the governor of Rhode Island, the mayor of Providence and any jus- tice of the United States of Rhode Island supreme court. Try some such set of questions yourself and see how you like it.—Worcester Gazette. Those cated men of Maryland whe boldly tried the test and failed can perhaps find some consolation in this, Ex-Governor Warfield also can feel that he acted wisely in net ac- cepting the challenge of Mr. Archibald H. Taylor, even though some charity lost money by his refusal to tackle the questions. In ‘Maryland, had the amendment passed, these questions which Rhode Island college men could not answer were to be asked of colored men who have had little time and few opportunities for education. They may look simple, but they were trick ques- tions, put there by sharp men for po- litical purposes. For this and other reasons the voters of Maryland up with their big stick and knocked questions, educational test and the whole crook- ed scheme into smithereens. That was the voters’ answer to the Straus puzzle. —Baltimore American.

REV. “THE MINISTRY OF SONG.” Every Song Should Carry a Message. Gospel songs and singing are rec- ognized today as one of the most im- portant factors in the evangelization of the masses. Its value can hardly be overestimated. Every song should carry.a message, and the only difference between t! gospel message as preached by the evangelist and as sung by the singer is the vehicle in which it is carried to the hearer. The gospel singer's task easy one, since h minutes for the ground for the see five or six ring the Word. " TRUTH never dodgu. no matter how hot the fire is.

LAY EVERY SONG A MESSAGE. An Old Song Sung in a New Way New Song. Music is a vital part of every great religious awakening. Snatches of the hywins used in the revival are heard in all parts of the city. It is a difficult task to recall any great religious awakening where the singing of the people has not held a very important part. During the cent great and lasting awakening Wales singing was one of its chief as sets. In their hom on the streets, and down in the mines coild be heard the melodies of the gospel hymns, at any time of day ‘or night, and one of the best liked and most used, translat- ed into English, means “Bend Me, Lord, to Thy Will.” Can you sing that from the heart? One who visited them in their time of rejoicing was asked if in some other place the same revival experiences would be enjoved, and his reply was “Yes, if you will sing.” The | thought of reclaiming the priv praising God from a paid quartett and giving it to the people themselves, so that all will get the blessing, is one of the many benefits derived from a campaign such as this. The teach- ing of new hymns, and the interpreta- tion of old ones in a new way, so that the message will come llght is to me one of the secrets of vangelistic singing.

New Coins Are Impractical, The change in the designs of the $20 and $10 gold pieces in 1907, and the $2.50 in 1908, which by many as been considered an improvement in an artistic sense, cannot be 5o re- garded in a commercial sense, as on account of fhe character of the pres- ent designs they are not fit for active circulation, and the loss by abrasion will be very rapid. The old designs were prepared with a view to their being used in active circulation, for which they were admirably adapted. The present designs of the gold coins having been adopted. no change can be made without special authority from congress until a period of twen- ty-five years has elapsed. The recent change in the design of the 1-cent piece is not at all popular. On account of the very slight increase in the thickness of this coin, which is due sole to the high relief of the design, there has been much com- | plaint from the manufacturers and users of slot machines and automatic cash registers, as on account of the thickness these pieces cannot be used in many of the machines.
