Trinity Methodist Episcopal church was filled on Wednesday evening for the union evangelistic service, at which Rev. C. H.

Part of the singers were locat: the choir gallery and the othe the west gallery of the church. The pastors of the nine churches partici- pating were all present except Dr. L. L. West of the Second Congregational church, and occupled seats on the pul- pit or behind the chancel rail with Rev, Dr. Kaufman. After prayer by Rev. J. R. Very of the Third Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Ricketts announced that the meeting next week would be on Tuesday eve- ning at the First Baptist church at 7.45 p. m., and the speaker would be Rev. J. W, Bixler of New London. A number led in prayer and the scrip- ture was read by Rev. G. H. Ewing of the First Congregational church. The tenor solo, A Clean Heart, was expressively rendered by Mr. Turn- er. ‘The_sermon of the evening was hy Rev. Dr. S, H. Howe of Park Con- gregational church and was a tell- ing presentment of the need of a re- generated life and the obligation upon Christians to become active evangel- ists in carrying the gospel to those around them. He announced his top- ic as The Beginning of the Christian Life, and said that it is the function of Christianity to make a new style of man and woman, and it begins this work with what we call conversion, with what we call the new birth, with what we call faith, Who are the Chris- tian men and women? The great Cal- vin never issued a finer thought than when he sald that the church is a body of regenerated souls. It is a company of converted men and wo- men. This seems so evident that it might be considered axiomatic, but it is disputed today by several classes of people. To the determinist, who says that the course of a man’s life cannot be changed, conversion is an absurdity. The evolutionist, too, sees nothing in conversion, but the most dangerous class that Christian work- TOAST AND RESPONSE FOR CHRISTMAS SERVICE Will Be Read at Special Glthoringniof Knights Templar Christmas Noon.

PAINTERS AND DECORATORS HAVE ANNUAL BANQUET. Delightful Affair Held at Labor Union Headquarters—Officers Nominated. Painters and Decorators’ union, Lo- cal No. 630, entertained in royal man- ner Wednesday evening In Central Labor Unjon hall' at their annual ban- quet, for which they had as guests a number of the master painters and some of the officers of other unjons. A short business meeting, in which offi- cers were nominated for election at the next meeting, preceded the social part of the evening. When the business was over, John F. Amburn, James Welch and Timothy Leahy, who were the committee in charge, invited all to the oyster chow- der and fixings, to which everybody did full justice, with compliments to the committee. An entertaining programme followed ir Carpenters’ hall, where President Florence J. Delaney presided and happily expressed a welcome to all present. ‘William Delaney was heard in fine voice in the solo, “Far Away,” for which an encore was de- manded, and John Crawford’s recita- tion of “The Lifeboat” earned an en- core, for which he gave an original selection touching up some of the lo- cal men. Among those to speak were: Ex-President Patrick Barry of the Carpenters’ union, President Justin Leonard of the Central Labor union, James Grierson of the Carpenters’ un- ion, George McNickle, Matthew De- laney and John F. Amburn of the Painters’ union. Harmonica selections by Jack Danihy were greatly enjoyed and encored several times. The evening closed with two fine ex- hibition bexing bouts of three rounds each, the first being between Young Allen and Neil Crowley. On compara- tive size they looked like a film from the Johnson-Burns fight pictures, but they made it a good and satisfled the erowd. Dan Murphy of the Phila- delphia Athletics was timekeeper. Jack McGrath and sparring partner came on for the final event, three rour.ds with the mitts, with Paddy Fen- ton, the former lightweight, holding the towel and Murphy timekeeper. Mc- Grath had it on his opponent in height, weight and reach, showing up bigger than he has ever stripped before a Norwich audience and the pair got an ovation at the close of their fast ex- hibition. Principal Tirrell Spoke. A men's club was organized in Groton at the Congregational church on Wednesday evening. An address was given by Principal Henry A. Tir- rell of the Free Academy on Early English Methods of Spéculation and Settling of Accounts Between King and People. He iliustrated his talk on the blackboard and interested his au- dience.

I into the orbit of a great human soul, but what of the transformation when Jesus Christ comes into touch and moves along with your life and mine? Did it mean nothing in the lives of the twelve or of Peter or of Zaccheus or Paul? And has it meant nothing —our life? The beginning of the Christian life is instantaneous and sudden, there‘is the possibility of the instantaneous transformation of a man into the Image of God, and that's the way he saves us if he saves us at all. Addressing the Christians with in- tense earnestness, Dr. Howe said that the situation here now was not a question of bringing the world into these meetings. You can't do that, for there’s no cowardice like the car- nal heart at enmity with God. But there’'s one thing yvou and T .can do. ‘We can take the gospel to them. They won’t read your Bibles, but they have got to read you. They can't get away from you if you personally face them. You are God's intermediaries, you must tell them face to face that you are concerned for their souls. It is the business of every man and wo- man who comies into the church to be- gin to become an evangelist, and this work will' go ‘on if the people will do this thing. It will go forward to great results if we take this duty that Jesus Christ lays wpon us and allow our- selves to be semt out as messengers for the kingdom of God. ‘The meeting closed with a conse- cration service. Before the meeting began'the execu- tive committee of' the Spooner choral union met at the church and chose George A. Turner as.the director of the chorus.
