Best and biggest of the annual ban- quets given by the Norwich postal clerks and carriers with the statff of the New London and Westerly offices as guests was that held on Saturday evening in_Koresters hall where 90 of Uncle Sam's men gathered for a social evening, which was made fur- ther notable by the list of distinguished wuests who accepted thelr invitation to be present. These included Con- gressman-elect Bryan §. Mahan of New London, Mayor T. C. Murphy of ihis city, Franels P. Bent of Brook- iyn, N. Y. superintendent of the ten- emant house district, Postmasters Wil- ilam Caruthers of this city, John Me- Giniey of New London and Charies J. Nutier of Westerly, Assistant Postmas- ters Arthur L. Peale of this city, Frankiin Dow of New London and Thomas Linnehan of Westerly, and former Postmaster Currie Gilmour of Greeneville. These all ocetpled the long table end of which were seated President Patrick S. Hinchey of the local car- riers’ association, branch No. 20, and Preseident Thomas Jjefferson McVeigh of the Jocal clerks’ association branch, No. 544. Over the platform the national colors were arranged for decorations and at each side wene large reproductions of the buttons of the clerks' and carriers’ associations, done in the identical col- ors of the original and winning much admiring comment for the maker, Pat- ! rick ¥. Shea. Clerk William R. Mc- Cord hag his full orchestra on hand, discoursing vliely airs for the ban quetters, who acknowledged the pleas- ure the music gave them cith shouts of “Good boy, Mack,” at the conclu- sion of every number. Song sheets with the choruses of popular songs en- abled the banquetters to Jjoln ~ with guests at various points in the pro- gramme, and for David F. Cushman a special line was fnvented in the re- frain of onme popular air to the effect that he was the guy that put the “tige in tiger.” One of MacDougal's special oyster chowders was served and when full justice had been dome to _this the Speaking was taken up. Postmaster Caruthers, however, was called upon earlier in'the evening, and, after ex- preesing a cordial welcome to the vis- itors, gave an interesting review of the postal service here. Postmaster Caruthers. Postmaster Caruthers sketched in a very interesting way the development of the post office business in this city, indlcating how intimately he had been connected with practically every ad- vance that has kept the Norwich postal department in the front rank. His first entry into the postal ser- viee was July 1, 1870, when under Post- master Bidwell he became stamp cler] a position which also combined the duties of delivery clerk serving for from 800 to 900 call boxes. Those were, the days of three cent postage and there was a chief clerk with four clerks in the office here. On Oct. 1, 1884, stiil under Postmaster Bidwell, the ca rier service was instituted here, with one carrier and five auxiliary car- riers. Here again Mr. Caruthers, who was chief clerk by that time, had an active part as he made the plans for the service. Under President Harrison Mr. Car- uthers received his appointment as postmaster. How his forethought and interest for the working staff was ex- ercised was shown by the fact that he was the first to put the Norwich car- riers. under ctvii service. On the side of the public he also showed his wil- lingness and abllity to give them the best that the service afforded by se- curing the first Sunday night mail the city had enjoyed, This was not ac- complisheq without effort that included trips to Ees the postmaster at Boston, the securing of leiters and petitions, conferences with railroad officials at their headquarters, and much other de- i tall, which finally resulted in the Cen- tral Vermont putting on a train for this service. With the aid of Congress- man_Charlés Russell another advance that’ benefitteq not only 'wich, but ail the industries along the line of the Norwich and Worcester roed in New London and Windham counties was achieved when the double service be- tweem Norwich and Worcester and New London and Wor ter was se- cured, When Postmaster Caruthers was back in the service again in 1888, af- ter an interval when the place was held by another, he at once began on the work of securing stations for this territory, with the result that there are now seven hundred numbered sta- tions and three named stations con- nected with the Norwich office. Still another advance in which the Norwich office is notable in the state is in the rural free delivery routes of which the first from here, the post- master said, was established in 1900 and there are nine now. To mark the present year as an- other step forward is the inaugura- tion of the parcel post service and the fact that for the first time In its his- tory the Norwich post office business has gome over the million mark. This was the record shown when the an- nual report was made up on Dec, 31, 1912, showing the business for the Year. From a usiness whic! was transacted by a#otal staff of 17 when | Postmaster Caruthers entered the ser- vice in 1870, the local office has jn- creased to a total of 70 employes, in- { cluding the men at the stations. There {are now 17 city carriers, 9 rural car- riers, 1 carrier for parcel post and 13 clerks at the main office. Hearty applause greeted the popu- lar Norwich postmaster at different points In his recital of local service conditions and testified to the faith- fulness and efficlency of the Norwich stafr. Assistant Postmaster Peale was toastmaster for the evening, a plice he filled with maried ebility as he introduced each speaker with a pleas- ant ang witiy allusion that put every- body in a good humor. Local President Speak: President McVeigh of the clerks” association was first called upon after the banquet had been disposed of, re- i sponding in a pleasing way in which | he made some complimentary refer- | ences to Representative Thomas | Reilly, to Mr. Bent's service as an al- lderman in New York and to Post- | master Caruthers as a man distin- ! guished for executive ability among | the postmasters of the state, He was ! followed by President Hinchey of the { Carriers’ association, who epoke of the | value of fraternal gatherings such as i the present, both speakers rousing much enthusiasm by their remarks. Postmaster McGinley, Postmaster McGinley was mexi in- troduced as a man known from the Atlantic to the Pacifie, and he respond- ©ed by expressing his confdence in Con- gressman-elect Mabun as the righi man to get for the postmap the things they wanted from the govermment in Washington. He recailed old times in New London when the highest paid man in the post office ot ouly a sal ary of $3¢9 and referred to the w mendous growth of the postal bus- iness.

Uncle Sam’s men he said had the right of way fn Nor- wich and he hoped It would not be long before they would be coming here again. Rousing Greeting for Mahan. ‘Three cheers with several tigers was the greeting given to Congressman- elect Mahan and the banguetiers gave added emphasis to the demonstration by rising as he was {ntroduced. Mr. Mahan passed out compliments to Mr. McGinley as the best postmaster New { 1-ondon had ever had and said he felt he was among friends since he himself had once been in this bramch of the sovernment service. He pledged him- self to loyal and sincere servicé to ihe extent of his apility in Washing- on. Ex-Alderman Bent, a former em-| plove in the Norwich office, was like- | Wwise given a royal welcome 2s he was | introduced, and he revived old mem- orles in an eloquent way as he referred | to happenings In other days He re- | ferred to his conmection with politics | in New York, and stirred the banquet- ers to enthusiasm when he declared that he would stand for higher wages, shorter hours and some system of pen- sloning should he get elocted for con- sTess In two more vears, of which he {hought there was considerable proba- ty. Cugrie Gilmour was the concluding speaker, responding with great accept- ance {o his hearers as he spoke of his twelve vears' connection with the Greeneville postoffice and the substan- tial fraternal spirit which bhad been shown towards Lim by the Norwich oys. One of the pleasant features of the evening were two solos by W. W. Keigwin of Mystic, whose selections were That's How I Need You. and Sweetheart. The visitors left for New London and Westeriy by the 10,45 car, but not be- | fore three rousing cheers with several of Dave Cushman’s “tigers” had been given for the committee, which includ- ed John Counihan, John A. Cunning. ham, Joseph I. Burns, Patrick S. Hinchey, Patrick F. Shea, John W. Haselden, Joseph §. O'Neil, William L. Fletcher and Myles E. O'Sullivan. SODALITY'S YEAR WAS MOST SUCCESSFUL. Twelve Months of 1912 Were a Pros- perous Time—J. J. Sullivan Elected President. The annual meeting of St Joseph's [ Sodality was held on Sunday after- noon at 2.30 o'ciock with a large at- tendance when it was called to order | by President Thomas J. Fitzgerald. The annual reports by the president, Recording Secretary Jeremiah A. Des- mond, Financial Seecretary Thaddeus Leahy and the treasurer, Dr. T. A. Crowley, showed that the vear just closed was the most successtul the so- clety had ever had. ' The sum of $400 had been raised, and 28 new members taken {n, making the present member- ship 145 active and 44 non-resident. There had been three deaths in the year—Dr. P. H. Harriman. John F. { Coughlin’ and Charles E. Brady. All the reports were accepted with approval of the good work that had been one. The following were the officers elect- ed for the new year: President, J. J. Suliivan; vice president, Jeremiah A. Tresmond, recording secretary, Walter B. Hynds; financial secretary, Thad- deus Leahy; treasurer, Dr. n A. Crow- ley. The election of Mr. Sullivan as pres- fdent puts into office one of the Sodal- ¥'s most efficient members in the five years since he joined the organiza- tion. He has been vice president in ear. and before that was li- d_for two years recording Thaddeus Leahy is begin- his fourth year as financlal sec- and Dr. Crqwley this third as ing is the sanding com- {mittee appointed: Jobn O'Donovan, Daniel B.

It was also arranged ti make de. bating one of the features of monthly meetings. NUMEROUS CASES OF THE DELAYED TRIUMPH l OF THE goePEL., i Rev. F. W. Coleman Answe-s a Ques- tion of the Times. The pastor, Rev. F. W. Coleman, preached on The Delayed Triumph of the Gospe] at the Trinity M. E. church Sunday morning. He took his text from Peter ii, 3-4: “Where is the prom- ise of his coming, for since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”’ He spoke in part as follows: As_travelers unexpectedly coming to the summit of some mountain fail to see the distant landscape beyond, be- cause of the clouds that obscure. their vision, so the primitive _Christians, though exalted by a new faith, to see into the fuiure, or to understand the significance of their position. Their vision was limited; they did not see far into the purposes of God. They Iiv- ed in the hope of secing the coming of summation of all things while werTe vet alive upon the earih. Also we can casily understand how f the enemies of the faith would improve i their opportunity, asking with cynical sneers: “Where is the promise Of his coming " Whatan absurd expectation! The apostles have all gone. The world histor. ever asked, Where is thy God, O srael” And many times, alas! the cry of the faithful has been heard:, O Lord, how a triuroph of the gospel seems as far off as ever it was. 2 It has always seemed to me that the proper question to ask concerning ‘hristianity and the work of the Chris- tian church is not “How little is being done?" To complain of the paucity of results. But the right way to look at this matter is to inquire: How couid the world get along without the Chris- tian church? For whatever rclief we find to the dark picture of sin and evil in the world comes from the light shed abroad in the world by the Chris- | tian religion. mya fall of short though ideal Christianity, may fall of New | and in fact it is admitted by everyone, | that Christianity bas wo:k:d deep and abiding reforms in every sphere of hu- man soclety. It has introduced into ! life an entirely new sense of its dignity and worth; a dignity and worth not merely felt and enjoyed by the cultur- | ed few. but within the reach of every man. The religion of Christ has infus ed a new spirit into our laws, our lit- crature, our soclal customs, our com- merce and trade—nay our very life. ! The present difficulties in our social life which are arousing so much dis- | cussion are problems whnch we should have never heard of had it not been for Christianity. Slavery was not a prob- | lem to the pagan world. But it was Christianity which made it a problem | to us and it is Christianity that has solved it to the satisfaction of all. No Note of Despair. | Every argument that can be used against missions is as old as the time | of Paul. The discouragements and the | opposition which that great missionary | had to meet were a thousandfold great- er than they are today, the task a thousand times more hopless: yet he aever doubted the final Success of his work. The great apostle was no fa- natic: never man possessed a saner mind than he; never a man saw more clearly into the depths of human na- | ture than he. He saw thincs as they | were. He saw things at their worst. Yet in spite of the apparent hopeless- | ness of his task, the low type of char- | acter &xisting among his converts; | notwithstanding the persecutions com- ing from without the church and the | | misunderstandings coming from with- | in the church, alone as he stocd, see- ing things s the mind of genius alone ian see them, yet we find not one note of despair or discouragement during the whole of that heroic life. None of these things moved him. He had seen | the Christ, and this was sufficient. “For whether we be beside ourselves, it is for God: for the love of Christ constraineth us.” | ‘Wherever therc is a genuine love of | Christ, there is also a genuine love of souls, 'n missionary spirit that counts {not the cost. We no longer see the | promise of his coming? We no longer | see the world as it it is, but we see it | With the eye of faith as it will be. For | we see it with the Christ vision. | NAILED BOXES CAN GO BY PARCEL POST But Lids Must Be Easily Removeable for Inspection of Content Instractions sent to Postmaster Car- | uthers are to the effect that fourth | class matter inclosed in boxes to which the lids are nailed or screwed may be accepted for malling at the fourth | class rate of postage if, with reason- able effort the lids can be removed for the purpose of permitting exam- ination of the contents. 1t would ap- BREACH OF THE PEACE.
