There was an unisually large at- tendance at the morning service of the Greeneville Congregational church on Sunday. The day was the 15th anni- versary of Re H. Rickett's pastofs ate in Greeneville, and the pulpit was graced by fifteen magnificent roses, the gift of the Heartsease circle of King's Daughters, Rev. Mr. Ricketts took for his text “Fifteen Years in Norwich,” a name approptiate to the day. The sermon was in & way a re- view of his life in this city and was given as a heartfelt talk to the people of his congregation. He said in part: The statement I made last Sunday in announging this anniversary sermon will servé as'the text of tids discourse. These years have meant a great deal to me, and I trust that they have meant a great deal to you. My thought flows along two lines: what significance have these years had to me, and how they have entered into your lives. We all have something to thank God for every moment of our lives, and as my mind goes back over the years I feel like thanking Him for my vigorous health which I still possess. It is im- possible to overestimate the blessings and advantages of sound physical health. It means much to a worker, but to the average minister it is quite indispensible to successful parish work. Minister Needs Time. Some parishes feel that théy must be everlastingly entertaining their ministers, and the many soclal func- tions given for thelr benefit rob them of that which is most valuable to them, and that is their time. In this respect you have left me alone, and I am very grateful for it. A Minister's Work. As to the character of a minister's work, o lines of direction are open o him: he may be a recluse, shutting himself up in His study and make some important contribution to human learning by publishing a book. Some of our greatest books have come that way. On the other hand, a minister may use his spare time by throwing himsel? into the lfe of the parish, along all the lines of its activity, 1 have followed the latter rather than the former, for many good reasons. The' church’ pulpit is by no means the only place in which an honest man may preach a glorious and powerful gospel. This feeling has borne in up- on me increasingly during the past fifteen vears, and that is the reason that I have accepted as many invita- tions as I could to speak at all sorts of gatherings and in all sorts of places. It has given me an opportunity to preach in my own way, and I can honestly say to you on this fifteenth anniversary that I have always done it with a single.eve to His honor and glory. Sunshine and Joy, Sorrow and Grief. If 1 have been with you in seasons of sunshine and joy, I have also been vith you when the elouds were heavy and your hearts were bowed - with grief. One of the very hardest places for a pastor is the burial of the dead. A minister must have a strangz neart who does not make some very close friends in the course of a decade and a half, and when he is called to offi- cate at their funeral he almost feels that he is out of place as the clergy- man and ought to be among the mourners. That feeling. came to me with great force last Tuesday as it fell to my lot to speak at the funeral of Edward H. Preston, the Rockville undertaker. One hundred and twenty times we had been together at funer- als, and with such a great human pe: sonality near me I felt cheered in my efforts to try to comfort those whose eyes were filled with tears and whose hearts were® bowed with grief. Many Pastors Have Come and Gone. There is so much that crowds into my mind on this fifteenth anniversary occasion that 1 dm puzzled in making a selection. These years float before my mind like a panorama and I am made to feel the changes. Dr. Howe and Rev. Mr. Brown are the only pas- tors in active service who were preach- ing when I came. The North Main or eight pastors odist has had si five, and is now exception of the is today the Trinity Meth- the Third Baptist pastorless. With the Rev. Mr. Bryan, who quietly observing his 93d of the older ministers some of whom I knew intimately. 1 shall never forget the kindness and courtesy that were shown me by Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon. Who can ever forget the kindly face of Rev. John Avery, who, had he been living in the middie ages, would h: been canonized as a saint. Norwich has hac some strong laymen called ¢ v~ & coming. most of whom | knew. There was David A. Wells, of international reputation as a writer on economics; John T. Wi great legal authority. T had the pl ure of meeting that stalwart man, Hugh H. Osgood, and also Frank T. Brown, and of those more recently taken, ‘Solomon Lucas and Nathan L. Bishop. No city can be poor that has among its citizens men of this caliber, and their influence remains as one of its most valuable assets. Taken from This Parish. But I am more keenly alive to those whom death has removed from this parish. Not long after my arrival here Charles D Browning was trans- |lated, and I have never seen a man who loved his church more than Mr. of money in the treasury to -further advance the work. The chair appoint- ed Edward J. Kilday, Jr.,, and Pdward Carroll to act os tellers, and this board of government was chosen to guide the society’s destiny of the year 1913: Spiritual adviser, Rev. John H. Fitz- maurice; president, Joseph A Donnel- ly: vice president, James W. Mwrphy; recording secretary, Edward C. Kilday, Jr.; treasurer, Charles J. Mullaney; sacristain, Michael J. Dwyer. The board of counsellors and sick commit- tee will be appointed by the president for the next meeting. The public profession of the society and new candidates will take place at evening vespers on Sunday, Jan. 12, at 7.30 o'clock, it being the feast day of the society. There will be a sermon appropriate to the occasion and bene- diction of the Blessed Sacrament. Ths society will approach Holy Communion in @ body st the early mass on that lay. Greeneville Boys Worl.

They all loved the church and have entered the Church Triumphant. >3 To this number we must connect those who have Jeft us by removal, and many of them were men and women-of fine chardcter. To this cal alogue of men and women who have meant much to the development of true religlon here there is one splendid man of God to whom I want to make special reference, and that is the late Rev. Dr. John D. Herr, pastor of: the Central Baptist chutch’ when 1 came. I shall never forget how kindly he in- troduced me to the fitst downtown au- dience 1 ever faced. 1t was a memio- rial service held in honor of Frances B. Willard. which completely filled the Central Baptist church. These were his words: “Thig is our new brother beloved, and may® God bless hi 1 shall never forget John D. Herr. It {8 in my heart aleo. to. acknowledge my indebtedness to the sterling worth ani enial companionship of Dr. Lewellyn ratt during these years. Dr. Pratt’s wide acquaintance with the things of the kingdom, within and without de- nominational lines, has been of great. value to me. May his remaining days, here be his best! During these fifteen years We have lived peacefully together. We have had no church quarrels, no bitter -that the'Créator has give wrangling, no setious differences. We have not always seen eye:to eve, and 1 thank God that we haven't, for I never want to preach to a set of Qummies who would follow me lke & flock of sheep without the abllity of thinking for themselves. We have learned to love and respect’ one anothef, ‘and even to respect our differences of opinion. I think we have always giv- en each other the credit of honesty and sincerity of purpose. 7 Advantage of a Long Pastorat I cannot. close this sermon without saying & word as to one advantage of & long pastorate. To a man like my- self of strong soclal instincts it means §great deal to have at least every third _person whom he meets on the street call him by name. If a minister has the least welght of Christian per=1 gonality and for fifteen years has tried to make that personality count for righteousness, God will surely work through that man in carrying out. his urposes on a-larger scale than with- n the limits on any single parish. This is something to which a man must grow, and growth must be long and constant to make strength. As to the future, none of us can tell. It"fs possible that I have been-here too long. It 1 sunposed that you thought so0 I would {mmediately resign. Years g0 I put myself absolutely into God's hands. and I believe He has led me. I God makes it “clear for me to go 1 Bhall go. If on the other hand He indicates that I remain then my place is here. But let us make the mest of pur present opportunity in working for Him. This Greeneville Congregational church’ be here when you and T are dead and forgotten, but let us see to it that the hefitage we\received from the Father ghall be handed down] to the children stronger and better .for passing through our hands. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Want to Give Norwich Benefit of Best Musical Artists in World. Mr. Editor: Upon my return home Baturday evening, after a ten days' absence from the city, my atténtion was called to two letiers which ap- peared in The Norwith Morning Bul- letin, one signed “Justice” and the { other “Flair Play,” and both protesting against the management of the Slater hall concerts, in regard to the method of seliing the seats. Amongst other things stated is the following: “Can we not have an Academy course for our own tewnspeople?” 1 would say In reply to “Fair Play,” you can have a course confined entirely to Norwich people and exclude everybody' else, if You .wish, provided you, or someone whom you may select, s willing to make good any deficit’ that may oc- cur. It seems to me that the writer of that letter is exhibiting the same spirit that existed years ago and which was responsible for the discontinuance of the Slater hall concerts at that time. 1 can remember when the Boston Sym- phony orchestra was brought to Slater hall at a bis financial loss, and this loss was nfade good through the gen- erosity of one Of the most public spir- ited cltizens that Norwich ever had, but he is not a resident of Norwich now, and got little credit for his gen- erosity. / A It was this same spirit of criticism that is shown by “Justice” and “Fair Play” on this occasion that was re- sponsible for the discontinuance of these concerts, and because no one else was willing to assume the responsibil- ity of a financial loss which way in- evitable in bringing such an organiza- tion to our little city. It is this same Bpirit that is responsible for the fact that Norwich_today is little better than an overgrown village in many- re- spects, whereas it should be in a class with Worcester, Waterbury and other progressive cit! I “Fair Play” or “Justice” feel that they are competent to conduct the Slater hall concerts and present at- tractions of the same high character that have marked this course in the past and at the same time protect the Academy against financial loss, then the writer will cheerfully resign in their favor and at the same time will agree to give them all the support that he can in thelr efforts. Past éxperience has shown that it is utterly impossible to run these musical courses without the support that has been so generously &’lven by the musical Dpeople pf Westerly, Willimantic and New London. And thelr co-operation has been obtained only by persistent ef- forts on the part of the management. Their attendance . at these concerts entails quite a sacrifice on their part, as It necessitates an added expense to have in the future, as it s had since this concért course was mit! tuted, eight years ago, the Dbest than there is in music, which the writer be- lleves. ta be one.of the greatest gifts to mankind, * ARCHIBALD MITCHBLL. __NORWICH TOWN- Enjoyable Evening for Club of Four— Quarterly~ Conference &t M.+ E.
