MITES B STORE Frankiin Square, Norwich, 'FALCONS FOLLOWED tion. Delegates of the Polish Falcons here from various parts of New England to attend the sixth annual convention of the fifth district, met with an unex- pected rebuff Sunday morning when they attended service at St. Joseph's church, when the rector, Rey. d. 1. Ambot, ordered the two standards they carried—the American and the Polish —remoived from the church, The flags went, but with them also the delega- tion of Falcons and the Norwich Fal- con band, which led the march to the church from Froehlichkeit hall, where the Falcons had assembled at 7 o'clock before proceeding to mass. Left the Church. The procession of Falcons, in uni- form, with the flags and the band at the head of their line, then marched back to the hall, and at the regular meeting of the convention Sunday aft- ernoon_the happenings at the church in the morning were made the subject of indignant protest. Rev. J. J. Ambot's Statement. “Arrogance and the lack of tact on the part of those making the arrange- ments for the service,” said Rev. Fath- er Ambot Sunday afternoon, “was the reason for what happened at the church. Beyvond that I do not care to make any comment.” Unable to Understand Action. At the meeting of the convention on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Froehlichkeit hall, among the commit- tees appointed was the following press committee, which was entrusted with the special duty of reporting the oc- currence at the church, Stanislas Wro- Del,- Meriden: Francis Wiech, Lowell: Walter Pawlikowski, Bridgeport, and Joseph Plucinski, Wallingford. The committee stated that the action of the rector was unexpected and in- explainable by them. They said that representatives of the convention had arranged for the mass and hd paid the fee, and they believed it was un- derstood by the church authorities that the delegation was to come in uniform and would bring their flags. This was | the same as they had done, they said, at other conventions, and the flags themselves had been blessed. When the flags were ordered out of the church there was only one thing for the delegates to do, they said, and that was to_follow the flags, for the colors that Koscuisko had followed and the colors that George Washington had followed demanded their allegiance both as Polanders and as Americans. Twenty-seven Places Represented. Twenty-seven different places in New England were represented by del- egates when the convention held its opening session, which is the gather- ing of the fifth district of the Polish Faicons of the Nnited States,an organ- When Standards Were Ordered From St. Joseph’s Church the Delegates Went Also—Were Attending Igass at Opening of Fifth District Convention of Organiza- THE FLAGS ization akin to ¢hat which exists in the old_country.

In the evening at 7 o'clock there was another session at which the re- ports of the district officers were heard. These told of the work done among a membership of about 1,800 in the different nests. On Saturday evening there was a dance at the hall for the Falcons and this will also be the closing feature of the convention tonight. Meetings will be held this morning and probably this afternoon. SUNDAY AFTERNOON FIRE CAUSED BY MATCHES. Cellar and Kitchen of Cornelius Mur- phy’s House Damaged. Sunday afternoon an alarm from box 45 called the fire de- partment to No. 176 Laurel Hill ave- nue, where the rear of the house of Supernumerary Corn is Murphy was in flames. The fire started in a half cellar under the kitchen at the back of the house where coal and wood were kept. Mr, Murphy's daughter and an- other little girl were playing there and it is thought that they had matches and started a fire in some papers. When Mrs. Murphy learned of it she attempted to get a carpet to smother it with, but was unable to, and it kindled quickly in the meantime. See. ing that it had gotten beyond her, About 1 o'clock e called for assistance, and W. F. Hill, A. S. Comstock and others in the neighborhood ran to the house, the former sending in the alarm and the latter attaching a garden hose with which he attempted to check the blaze, but burned his hand somewhat in so doing. The department, with chemical and water, soon had the fire out, but quite a little damage was done to the house at the back, where it had gotten into the partition. There is an insurance on the building but not on the furni- ture. the latter being ohiefly damaged by smoke, however, as but little water had to be used, and much of that was in the cellar. Mr. Murphy was away when the fire staried, AT POLI The Girl from the Golden West, '8 THEATER.

The audience w thoroughly pleased by the opening pill, The Girl of the Gold- en West having been given a presen- fation, which, considering it was the first play I f the season, and the first night the players had worked together, Wi capital in every respect.

Sunday School Rooms Used. The Sunday school rooms of the Broadway Congregational church were occupied on Sunday for the first time after the vacation, during which they were thoroughly. renovated. Members of the congregation and Sunday school worked enthusiastically in raising the needed funds. The trustees aided b: the” ladies' advisory committee, Nrs, B. W. Hyde, Mrs. J. C. Averill and Mrs. F.°S. Camp, have been very suc- cessful in bringing about the results, | PURPOSE OF GOD THAT MAN LIVE FOR OTHERS. Rev. J. C. Wyckoff Preached Sunday Morning at Second Church. At the Second Congregational church .Sunday morning Rev. J. C. Wyckoff of New Canaan, uncle of the pastor, Rev. H. J. Wyckoff, occupied the pulpit and preached from Romans 14: 7, None of us liveth to. himself. He said: The affirmative form is every man lives for others. It is not the desire of men to live for others, but it.is the purpose of God that they shall. He has made this purpose known in his works first, in_his word afterward. God himself’ lives for other; He has created a universe on principles of mutual dependence, where every thing depends on other things, and every creature on other creatures, and every thing and every creature on himself. The mineral kingdom supports the vegetable kingdom; the vegetable king- dom supports the animal, and all to- gether support man and glorify God. The sun exists to support its planets and satellites, and with _gravitating power helps to preserve the order of all other suns in the dependent har- Jmony of the celestial world. In the material world every creature exists for other creatures. In the social order of mankind every man not only does but must live for others, and must give himself for others. In ‘the world of work, no worker from the day laborer for wages to the man of the highest professional or specific skill, can make a living for himself if he will not give himseif to do something for others: and in order thus to live for others all must forego selfish preferences and self indulgence. Selfishness is suicidal. Living for others is the irrevocable decree of God; the inexorable penalty is loss and self abasement. To reverse this decree in the material universe would leave but “the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds;” to reverse it in human life would instant ruin be to the great part of mankind and in the end barbarism for all. By thus living for others. do we save ourselves? Nof wholly; for after all we can do for others our personal sal- vation is a_question of self—not of selfishness, but of selfhood. This seifhood, however, perfected by living alone, by solitary life. We are placed in society to be affected, moulded, perfected by the in- fluence of our neighbors. Because of my neighbor’s power to make my self- hood like his selfhood, it is of the ut- most_importance to me that I should cannot be do all I can for him, in order to make him like what T -want to good influence on our neighbors comes back upon ourselves. Be- e our neighbors have contributed something to our character and self- hood, they have some po: on in it and none of us has an exclusive pos. session of our own character and self- be myself. hood. This grows out of the purpose of God to show us by his constitution of so- ciety the necessity of obedience to the Saviour's second great commandment, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy- self. By voluntary obedience to this com- mand we eliminate our baser self and selfishness and escape a losing conflict with nature, our neighbors and God, and emerge’ into the freedom of our better self, in joyful harmony with nature, our neighbor and God: for Christ by assuming our potential hu- manity has come into our neighbor- hood and so has migh power to transform our better self into likeness to God and so gives us power to be- come the sons of God. And God so realizes his fatherhood, the essence of which is love, by bestowing that love on us: and we by receiving it realize our divine childhood, which is the es- sence of our better selfhood. Thus God. our neighbors and our- selves, realizing our individual and mutual selfhoods, realize also an ever- lasting joy, and as children of God we enter af last in heaven upon everlast- ing obedience to the two great com- mandments of ‘our Saviour: ‘“Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart.and mind and soul and strength, and thy. neighbor ‘as thyself.” This is the consummation of the ev- erlasting joy of God and man. - ' 'Caught “Many.
