GREENEVILLE Opening of Forty Hours' Devotion— Rev. C. H. Ricketts Preaches—Ex- Foreman Receives Watch—Notes. | Rev. C. H. Ricketts spoke on Faith- | fulness the Crown of Life at the Congregational church Sunday morn- | ing, and his text was Rev. 2, 10. -He | said: To receive the crown the one great thing we must do is to be faithful. | This means a life of strenuous activity. | We must do God’s work if we expect to have God’s reward. Faith is another stepping stone to a man’s crown. The one thing this world needs more than all else {s grehter faith, A sublime faith in God’s scheme of world ruler- ship, a larger faith in ourselves and in the ‘divinity of our mission, a larger faith in the brotherhood of man and what it is to accomplish in the re- demption of the world. Be thou falthful unto death. We are not here on a limited holiday excur- sion. It is a life job and the longer it lasts and the morg we put into it com- mensurate will be the crown. The ma- jority of Christians labor because they have a mission to fuMlll and their re- ward will come when they shall see their Lord face to fac Ex-Foreman Mussell Receives Watch. Ex-Foreman John H. Mussell of En- gine company No. 2 has been presented by the members of that company, of which he was the popular head for two years, the customary gift to a re- tiring foreman. Mr. Mussell received Saturday a handsome gold watgh with hunting case, the inside of the lid bearing the Inscription: John H. Mus- sell—From Engine Co. No. 7, 1909. The watch is a valuable one and is highly prized by its owner. Proceeds Were $88.25. The mock trial recently given by the societies of St. Andrew’s parish at Union hall netted’ $88.25, it Is stated. It made so favorable an Impression that it may be repeated elsewhere. Forty Hours’ Devotioh. The forty hours' devotion was open- ed in St. Mary'’s church on Sunday morning at the the 10.30 o'clock mass, which was celebrated by Rev, William A. Keefe. Father Keefe also delivered votion of the Forty Hours. At the 7.30 o'clock mass several hundred of the congre- gation, including the members of the | Young Tadies’ sodality, Immaculate Conception and the Maidens of the Sacred Heart received holy communion. ‘The altar has been attractively deco- rated with palms, flowers, ferne and lighted tapers. mbers visited the church on Sunday afternoon and even- ing.

Evening—His Worth and Esteem in this i by Other Pastors at Second Congregational Church—Twenty-Five New Members Shown in the Addresses Taken Into Church. Two large congregations assembled at the Second Congregational church Sunday in recognition of the farewell services of Dr. Lester L. West as pas. tor of the cLurch, and at both the strong ties of love and friendship which have bound pastor and people who are now being separated were prominently manifested. Particularly touching wes the morning service, and there’ were wet eyes in every pew, while in the evening there were equally impressive moments. It was a day in history for the Second church. At the morning service the body of the church was well filled, and a par- ticularly interesting feature was the reception of twenty-five new members, twenty-three upon confession and two by letter, previous to which the infant n of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sherman was baptized. Communion closed the morning service. Dr. West's sermon was directed to the young people, and his text was, See that you make all things according to the pattern showed thee in the mount. After referring to the building of the temple, he spoke of the sacredness of the temple you are building, which is to be determined by the character you shape here in this earth, inch by inch. You are to build by the hopes that haunt your heart, every purpose, every motive, that tremendous power’ called choice, every act that goes forth from you and by your sentiments. It is part- iy direct and purposeful and partly in- rect, but you have the great deciding power of choice, and I shudder and ex- ult at the same time at what you may build. You don’t have to furnish the material; it is all given you. There is nothing ‘which js not ministering to you in this building. The spire of your tabernacle ought to kiss the sky. God has planned for you that life. The mount is the mount of vision, where you stand and look off into the ideals. The pattern is as He said, This is My beloved Son, hear we Him. I know other patterns will be shown you and have been shown you,and you have had all kinds of thoughts about your future. but don’t do it. You will see the pat- terns of the businessand political life, but don’t follow them. No matter what any man may show you, stick by the pattern from the mount. Go into the mount, get your pattern. g In his touching address to his con- gregation, his farewell address, Dr. West spoke with tear dimmed eyes, be- ing manifestly affected, as were his hearers, and he sald: Beloved, I want to thank you, I want to thank you for the splendid hour last Friday night, and those who heiped make it a suc- cess, for the prayer meeting this morn- ing. These are hard moments for all of us. I am glad beyond words that we have known each other, and it sometimes seems a strange leading that God orders. It seems a most beautiful guidance of him whose name welove. I can preach that God is love now bet- ter than ever before. I thank you, and, oh, how cheap the words seem as I say it." T thank you, I rejoice, I exult. T glory in what you are. I shall carry from the New England town where I have been privileged to spend seven years, some of the most blessed things of my life. Union Evening Service. The evening service was a unlon farewell service of the Congregational, Baptist and Methodist churches of the city and the Second church choir was assisted by the Broadway choir. Every seat in the church was taken and many extra ones had to be brought in to ac- commodate the congregation. In at- tendance were Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe, Rev. Dr. M. S. Kaufman, Rev. P. C. Touching Words in His Awf&lfir Morning and Community apt to take Christianity too Mghtly, and pleading for more devotion to Jesus Christ. ., Rev. P. C. Wright. Following a beautiful rendition of It I Were a Voice by Mrs. Charles Ty- ler Bard, by requesi of Dr. West, Rev. P C. Wright, who susgested the ser. vice, spoke upon fellowship, saying It is the Jesson that the Christian church of this century must learn. Each de- nomination is all right, but there is something bigger. The time of denom- inational feeling is long past. When the love of God gets hoid of the human heart there will be fellowship. You can’t keep them apart. The world needs a common purpose and this has brought the churches of Norwich into a fellowship never had Dbefore and that pastor who has most forgotten his church has exalted his church and denomination most. The best of the evangelistic campalgn is now.and coming. We are better fit to prosecute the cause of Christianity he- cause we can put our shoulders to- gether and go out and say, You need Jesus' Christ, with a united front for the cause of Christ. We have talked and conferred together in this great work. Not with the funeral spirit do I bid him Godspeed. I am glad of it. It is the best thing he ever did, and going to that young west which is to be the power of the country, with his sweet prophetic message, his soul will live in Jarge spheres and while we sorrow and will miss him we ought mot to be selfish but think of the kingdom of God, ,To Dr. West he said, You go with our love and our prayers and ay you perform the duties of the Christian ministry in the large spirit of Jesus Christ, In conclusion, Dr. West said he vished he could measure up to these testimonials and while at times he had felt himself swayed by the expressions of love, yet he felt he was doing th right thing by goingt He told of his father’s desire for the west and going step by step from the Berkshires to New York, Ohio, Wisconsin and Jowa. There is something out there that calls me; I Jear it all the time, said Dr. st: the voice of the mew land, that endless opportunity to help lay the foundation of the church of God. He thanked the pastors for their kind words and thanked the church for such love, fellowship and the willingness to allow him to go, despite their love. Following the 'singing of a hymn, he shook hands with all the large con- gregation as they left. He leaves this morning for Cambridge, where he joins his wife and daughter for their west- ern trip, MESSRS. DAWLEY SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION Send Chek of $50 to Chief Stanton and Gave Money to State Hospital Em- ployes Who Did Volunteer Duty. In recognition of the very efficient work rendered by Chief Stanton and the men of the Norwich fire depart- ment when they went to the fire at H. F. & A. J. Dawley’s lumber mill at Fort Point, the firm sent Chief Stanton a check on Saturday for $50, Which will be added to the firemen's fund, 43 s vaual with such gitts. This' gift is in addftion to the pay- ment by the company of all the ex- penses for auto hire, extra men, etc., in connection with the fire. A liberal amount of money was Ioft at the State hospital on Saturday by Wright, Rev. E, S, Worcester, Rev. C. H. Ricketts, Rev. G. H. Ewing, Rev, Jerome Greer, Rev. C. A. Northrop, of Whom several assisted in the ‘service. At the opening Dr. West spoke of how deeply and keenly he felt the pres- ence of such a large number at a ser- vice planned by the pastor of another denomination and taken up by all the others. It will be a remembrance long and sweet. Dr. Howe’s Address. Rev. C. H. Ricketts offered prayer and there was scripture reading by Rev. E. 8. Worcester. Dr. 8. H. Howe was then presented as the first speak- er of the evening and he said we are here to do honor to a Christian min- ister. This is not usually done, as the plaudits are reservedefor other men, old citizens, politicians or someone who_has made a racket in the world. Dr. West came here almost unknown and moved with a demeanor which has captured the city. It is strange for a minister doesn’t do that often. It is a particular kind of minister we honor. It has been %aid a minister must be four things. First, a man; one who rings clear, true and pure. He has lived such a life in this community that we know a true man has been amongst us. His ministry here for seven years has gi en no occasion for criticism, no faul have been found in his character. This is because you believed in the man and trusted him. He was never In controversy with his fellow ministers, and won the love and affection of his brethren, and you'll see many mini ters go through the churches of Nor- wich before you see another like him, declared Dr. Howe. Second, a minister must be a saint, and regarding this Dr. Howe sald one must be something of a saint to be a- man, and you'll leave a whole hem! sphere of your life if you are not some- thing of a saint. Third, a minister must be a prophet, he must be a man with a message. Dr. West is a seer, a mystic, a prophet. People do not need to be told they have heard a new note never heard be- fore. It takes a prophet to preach. He has the note of a prophet and has caught this congregation. He has a marvelous gift of extemporaneous speech and it is the prophetic note that counts. T never heard him preach, faid Dr. Howe, but what I said he ought to be preaching to 2,000 people, for that is a great sermon, and it takes a bit of a man to preach a great ser- mon. Fourth, a minister must be an evan- gelist. Dr. West is an idealist, not a realist. He was the last man in the country to sound the evangelistic note. You who have heard it know he can do it. In all his sermons he was preaching Jesus Christ and the love of God. He is an evangelist of the best type. This s nmot a funeral oc- casion, it ought to be one of thanks- giving, as we are grateful for his life, his preaching and every good thin We send him from us With our pray- rs that God may open to him great and effectual doors of usefulness. Dr. Kaufman Speaks. Dr. M. S. Kaufman of Trinjty M. E, church followed, stating that it gave him great pleasure to have some part in this service -of recognition and worth of our esteemed and honored colleague and brother upon the eve of his departure. While we regret the loss m“z‘“‘ in this community yet we cannot help extending our congrat- ulations to the young west where there is such, &mmw for effective spirftual Hu, g e the Lord loved the Secand ongregational church and this city, therefore did He &ive Y‘Oll Dr. West for weven years of effect! service. May his pathway be a bright, ascending one. He then dis. sed Christ 1 - upon s &n 2 prac H. F. & A. J. Dakley to be distributed among such employes of the hospital as assisted voluntarity at the fire in their lumber yard at Fort Point on Tuesday night. The employes were very much surprised to receive it and feel grateful to H. . & A. J. Dawley and should in the future a llke emer- gency arise they stand ready to again assist as best they can, voluntarily and without thought of compensation. A separate sum was donated by H. F. & A. J. Dawley to be used in the purchase of books for the patients’ library at the hospital and the same was gratefully received. \ CAR LEFT TRACK. Electric on Montville Line Had “Trou- ble on First Trip. The first electric car from Norwich to New London Saturday morning left the rails at the crossing over the Cen- tral Vermont railway tracks a few yards north of the Uncasville bridge. The passengers were delayed about 30 minutes in getting to New London,hav- ing to wait untll the first car from New London came along, when they were transferred. The car, No. 154, slid along on the frozen ground about 30 yards, being brought to a stop dangerously near the steep embankment of the bridge. The front truck stayed on the rails, the rear truck slewing off into the roadway. An attempt on the part of the car crew to replace the car was fruitless and further attempts were stopped until the wrecking crew was able to reach the scene. This crossing is regarded as rather dangerous by the road’s employes, as the rails at the crossing are much worn away. The regular schedule was interrupted for several hours, but pas- sengers were transferred around the car until the track was cleared. Somers—Mrs. C. W.
