No Loss of Identity. By the federaiion of churches, sald Rev. Mr. Wyckoff, the churches do not lose their identity or individuality, but unite their forces to accomplish things which resist the efforts of the individual church. Each denomination has some peculiar definite gift to the world and the assembling of the good of all the denominations is like the aggregation of wealth in a nation. There is before us the opportunity for all to take hold to do our share in building up the kingdom of God. Bible Study Committs Frederick R.

An intersting talk was given town, who spoke on How to Teach a All were Those who at- futire work but the only things defi- nite which have been accomplished have been along the lines of teacher training. The committee has been at work to promote a course of study for those from the various churches whe wish to take up the work. Two lined of study have been decided upon. A course of ten lessons of the old testa- ment and ten in the new, and a course of ten lessons in child study with ten lessons in methods of instruction. The matter just now hinges upon the se- curing of a sufll?le teacher or teach- ers. i The ideal training is in the class in the individual Sunday school and two schools at least, the Second Congre- cational and the Greeneville Congre-i gational, have taken steps tOWEI’dS\ the organization of such teacher train- es. The Norwich Town Con- mal Sundaqy school is also con. the organization of such a The committee feels that some- thing has been accomplished in the stimulating of such interest in this project. f Evangelistic Work. Rev. F, O, Cunningham, speaking for the evangelistic work committee said: The best way to study the Bible 1 t using large sums towards holding the men {n the church, while the boys have beeli dropping out. We must show the boys that there is work for them. to do. The boys are willing, but they need 110 be shown what to do and how to do it. The men of the church should feeel as big brothers to the boys, should take an interest in their work, and in their lelsure and in their home life. It the boy is not earning enough to live on it is up to the men of the church to see that he gets a better job. For Social Service. Rev. Edward. S. Worcester of the soclal service committee spoke in part as follows: The social service field is a department which calls for the most combined activity, and to follow up the desirable lines of work the com- mittee has been subdivided into four departments. The amusement com- mittee has found conditions in Nor- wich on the whole quite satisfactory, there being but one instance where the form of amusement was consider- ed seriously undesirable. - The second committee is the industrial committee, and under the auspices of this com- mittee there was a speaker here on Labor Sunday. i The temperance committee approves of the action of the Connecticut Tem- perance union in their efforts to se- cure a law limiting the saloons to one for each 1,000 of population. The pro- Dosed state farm for inebriates is also desirable, for at present a man goes from the saloon to the jail, out to the saloon, and back to the jail, afd there is no attempt at his reformation, nor is there provision for the care of his family. The clean outdoor work of a farm would give the man a chance to brace up if it were possible. The fourth committee has been in- vestigating on_the lines of sexual im- morality and its results. This evil is very evident in our city today and we feel that the first step which we can take is the education of the individual along the lines of clean living. The evils of intemperance are closely al- lied with the vices of immorality in both men and women. Misuse of leis- ure, lack of knowledge of health culosis_stamp on a letter from Nor- way. He published an article about this queer looking stamp in the Out look, and suggested some possible uses for it.in this country. Miss Bissell at once saw an opportunity here and pre- pared a stamp from the sale of which her “society. realized $3,000 for tuber- culosis work. So impressed was she with this success that she induced the American Red Cross to take up the sale in 1908 on a national basis. With very little organization and with hardly any attempt at careful adver- tising, -the sale that year brought in, nevertheless, over $135,000 for anti- tuberculosis work in various parts of the United Stafes. In 1909, with more thorough organization, the sale was increased to $230,000, and in 1910 to nearly $310,000. Last year the sale increased to over $330,000, or 33,000,000 seals. While the Red Cross seal dates back only four years, “charity stamps,” from which this idea originally spryng g0 back to 1862, when “sanitarv fair stamps” were . first used in Boston to secure money for the care of soldiers wounded during the Civil war.

Millions are used every year—and when every other man or Woman you meet recommends them to you it you will but inquire—why do you continue to gufter from stomach trouble? The reasons why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are such & widely used remedy are very easy to understand. These tablets contain almost the same ele- ments as the gastric juices of the stomach. 'And when your stomach is sick and not working just Tight, it does not give out enough of the natural digestive julces to properly take care of the food you eat.

We feel that the expense of such a mis- | sion should not be added to the general | budget for the approval of the fed- | eration, but that it should be raised in | a separate manner. At present the Salvation Army has no place to meet, and finds it difficult to secure a suitable location. It is hop- ed that we may be able to help them | to solve their problem. . Must Not Neglect the Boys. J. B. Stanton, chairman of the boys' work committee, was the next speak- er. To carTy out our purposes, he said, is going to take a long time, and those who expect great things at onceare due to be disappointed, but the possi- bilities of the boys' work appeals to .|me. The church has been neglacting the boys, and in negleoting these is on its way towards inefficlency. How can the church live without boys, who are to grow up and become men of the church? We regard with horror the terrible loss of life incurred by the boy crusaders of 700 years ago, and yet may mot the future historians re- gard us in’ much the same light with regard to the boys sacrificed by the church while all efforts are being di- rected towards the grownups. In | speaking of the boys I include the girls as well. £ We must bring all-our forces to bear both inside and outside the church. Our committee is made up of two per- sons from each church, a man and a young man. We must first consider the physiacl welfare of the boy, for without this naught else can be well. We should see that they have oppor- tunity for play. We must work for clean speech and clean living.

The winners will be giv- en two Dboxes of clgars. There will be four tables of players, Last year. the tournamént was won by the T A. C. Norwich Singers, pose of the committee, he said, is to make friends with the mission socie- ties of all the churches and to work for their support. It is proposed to keep before the public through the newspapers just\ what the world is doing in mission work. There are a number of people engaged in mission fields whose homes are in Norwich, and we propose to invite them to send in correspondence for publication. This will present the mission work from a sane and practical standpoint. We | propose to organize an every-member- canvass of every church for -the sup- /bort of the mission work and two or three churches are already taking steps along this line. We hope to se- cure the appointment of a mission committee in each church for the pro- motion and systematizing of mission work. We have before us three lines of work, financial, educational and de- votional. Teacher Training Course. At the close of the general meeting there was a meeting of the special committee to whom the Bible study committee had referred the matter of securing a teacher for the teacher training class, and it was voted to se- cure Charles A, Boyd of Hartford, an instructor in the Hartford school of pedagogy, dean of the Hartford Sun- day-8chool training institute and for- merly secretary of the New York State Sunday School assoclation. The members of the special committee are F. R. Starkey, chairman, and G. W. Guatd of the Bible study committee and Henry D. Johnson of the New London County Sunday School associa- tlon. The teacher training classes will be conducted under the joint au- spices of the Bible study committee of the church federation and of the New London County Sunday School asso- clation, The series of 20 lessons for each class is to hegin on Jan. 3 and the classes will be held on Friday even- ings. ‘The course in the Old and New Testament will occupy from 7.30 to 8.15, and the courses in child study and teaching methods will be conducted from 8.16 to 9 o'clock. The meetings are to be held in some centrally locat- ed church, just which one not having been decided as yet. UNIVERSALIST MISSION CIRCLE. Addressed by Mrs. Annie S.

She told of the work done through their alliances in home missionary work, although not called missionary, They have many depart- ments, such as post office mission, cheerful letter, loan libraries, aid giv- en to churches and publications, help in paying pastors’ salaries, etc.' She told #¢ work in India and Japan and elsewhere. After ainging a hymn and the circle benediction the meeting closed.

SEARCH THROWS NO LIGHT ON HUSSEY’S DEATH No Developments Yet to Show How He Received Wounds. Coroner Brown sald Thursday that there were no developments in the investigation into the death of Alonzo D. Hussey of East Providence In a cell of New London police headquar- ters Sunday night. Lieutenant Jeffers, who has been working to find out when Hussey came to New London and with whom he spent his time in the city, says he has turned over every sione in sight and has been unable to trace Hussey there. Many women have been questioned without it being shown that Hussey had such company with- in a day or two prior to his death, The police lieutenant sald that any report arising out of the Hussey case to the effect that he tolerated the confining of prisoners without medi- cal attention is erroneous. “There is not a man locked up here who does not have the city physician, if he has a scratch on him,” said the leuten- ant. Hussey's case, however, is a sad commentary on the methods which exist at police headquarters, accord- ing to the New London Day. A more efficient department than New Lon- don would probably not be left for an hour each day in the charge of a $40 per month janitor. Tony Bric- ca, who is employed in such capacity, was in limited authority at headquar- ters Sunday between 5 and 6 p. m. when Hussey was brought in. If was reported to the lieutenant that the man was locked up for being drunk. Any more definite information was not furnished the commander of the night force until Hussey's death had been reported. As the police department is mow conducted the commander of the day force goes home at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The commander of the night force might be expected to go on duty when the rest of the force does, at 7. In order to arrange his work the lieutenant gets around at 6 o'clock. Any matters that require his attention, which have transpired In the hour previous, receive it then, provided the janitor remembers. Another ancient custom at head- quarters, which shows room for im- provement, is the method of locking up men for “safe keeping.” A pris- oner is never “arrested” but is only “put in for safe keeping,” when the padlock of the cell is not locked. The snapping of the lock might be con- sidered an extra precaution but it is practically impossible for a prisoner to release himself from a cell when the lock is put through the staple, { although not locked. | " Hussey, inquiry determiries, was not “arrested,” because the cell was not locked. That he was put in a cell for safe keeping is the explanation of his presence there. Despite the report made to Lieutenant Jeffers two po- licemen say Hussey was not intoxi- cated. Vineyard Workers Met. flw’ineyud ‘Workers of the Cen- tral ptist church held a special meeting of particular interest Wednes day evening at the church in which an instructive programme on Mormonism was conducted. The president, Mrs. Frank A. Roath, conducted the busi- ness meeting, and this was rollowed by a letter from Miss June Barber in Philadelphia, thanking the soclety for a Christmas box. Mrs. George A. Ashbey gave a reading, impersonating a Mormon elder, and Mrs. Gilbert S. mond to the .story of Mormonism from the standpoint of an easterner. Auto Truck Burned. . About & o'clock Tuesday afternoon the auto truck owned by Schwarts Brothers was destroyed by fire on Fitch hill, Trading Cove. A deltvery had been made and the machine was on the road back to the city when the engine backfired. Flames soon _en- veloped the automobile and ne remained of it but a pile of ruins.
