This Tendency of Present Day PULPITS INTO LECTURE PLATFORM Sunday Evening Church Serv- ice Discussed by Methodist Ministers at District Con- New England From Rev. Dr. M. S. Kaufman. At the First Methodist church on West Town street, Norwich Town, Monday afternoon there was an at- tendance of 22 ministers at the open- ing session of the Norwich District Methodist Episcohpal Ministerial asso- ciation. This association includes all of the state east of the Connecticut river and also a part of Rhode Island. The devotional service at 2 o'clock was led by Rev, John Thompson of Griswold, and was followed by a bricf business meeting during which the committees were appointed. Distrist Superintendent Rev. G. G. Scrivener then introduced Rev. J. E. Priestly of Bouth Coventry, who read a paper on Robert Burns. This paper illustrated the Sunday evening lecture which is to some extent taking the place of the Sunday evening church service. H's standing as a poet was given and the appeal to human hearts which his poetry has made. Lessons from his character were drawn. Sunday Evening for Evangelism. A lively give and take full of humor marked the discussion that followed. A glowing description of the beauty of the Scottish Lills was given. It was said: If we turn our Sunday evenin services into iecture platforms W stand a poor show of seeing men saved We should use Sunday evening for a special evangelistic message. Isnt| there enougn in the gospel of Jesus Christ without going outside for some- thing to draw a crowd? Sermon Making. The sermon of the afternoon follow- 4, delivered by Rev. E. A. Legg of nielson, having for its subject The lermon—A Product of Industry. There are real sources of discouraga- ent in sermonizing, he said. Orig- lity as to sermon topics is the res<lt f the most patient study and careful vestigation., There is a temptation carelessness because of many helps be had on every hand. It is a mis- ke to lower the dignity of the profes- fon by story telling. Are we so weak at we have to hunt through a boox r illustrations of what we dish ‘o ach Careful preparation is neces- Ty to speaking without notes. Unless | sermon is carefully thought out the pongregation suffers the results of the Ppreacher’s negligence. The fundamental process in the.de- i { 1 velopment of a sermon is industry nd more industry. Unless a man can ve with a truth long enough to ab- | porb it he cannot communicate it. Ser- on construction 1is firet preach-r eonstruction. The study room of the preacher should be converted into an anteroom of the Holy of Holles. Here he must tarry to receive the power to draw men unto his Christ. Illustrations in Sermons. Afterwards in the discussion thoughts were brought out isters present. Ilustration, redeeming features of many sermons. The sermon is one of the ways by which a preacher is judged Our methods of work depend upon our per- sonal characteristics Study with all your might and pr: for strength to deliver the sermon in the right spirit. How we live with God ourselves will help us to teil men how to live and what to do and be. A suggested thought is often more than a polished speech. My. people have been interested in sound doctrine and strong sermons. I have preached the Deity of Jesus Christ-Hell-Heaven. The attention has been held more easi- 1y from beginning to end than when lighter themes were used. Our four words should be Know, Grow, Glow, Go. Our human hearts should speak to other human hearts to move them in the right way.

The ministers present were Rev. Messrs. W. P. Buck, Stafford; G. G. Scrivener, district superintendent, F. W. oCleman, Norwich; W. E. Newton, Charles Smith, Baltic; W. D. Wood- ward, R. L; D. W.

As other engagements prevented | Rev. Dr. M. S. Kaufman or Provi- dence, formerly of this city, from at- tending the conference, his message as financial secretary in charge of raising the fund for purchasing a sanitarium | at Attleboro, which is offered to the denomination, was read by Rev. C. Harley Smith. The theme was Meth- odist He said in part: The term philanthropy is one of the few finest terms in human literature. A true philanthropist is a true lover| of his fellow men. Ours is a day of! unusual philanthropic enterprise—the | nevolent organizations have multiplied and Protestant churches have awaken- ed to a sense of their obligations to, care more generously for the unfor- | tunate. In recent years our own de- nomination has founded hospitals and other eleemosynary institutions in|} nearly all the leading cities of Amer- fca. Here in New England we have| our deaconess home, ihospitals and oth- | er noble philantropics. in addition to | the Morgan memorial in Boston, one! of the most prosperous of all institu- tional churches. And now comes to us, providentially, this new opportuni- ty of greatly enlarging our facilities for humanitarian activity. The Attleboro sanitarium is a magnificent plant. The main structure is built of stone, built| to last. Next to the one 'at Battle! Creek, Mich., it is said to be the best| equipped sanitarium_on the continent. | With it are 95 acres of land close to! the thriving city of Attleboro, Mass., | a dairy farm, large pouitry yard, and | two perennial springs of pure water. It is all conservatively estimated to be | worth over $300,000. Being owned large- | Iy by a deveut Methodist who is ad- vaneing in vears, he desires it te come under the management of his own de- nomination. Hence he offers il to New England Methodism for $116,000. To- | ward this sum about $35,000 has al- ready been subseribed, leaving $81,600 to be raised. When this is done, then | this magnificent plant becomes ours | without encumbrance or condition. As financial secretary of the proposition | I have divided the amount to be r: | into shares of $1,000, in the hope of | getting most of it from persons of wealth. No money dividends are prom ised, but sure dividends of keen satis faction in helping a most worthy ca Since we are getting this valuable| plant for considerably less than one- third of its material worth, thousand dollar share becomes worth at least three thousand dollars to New England Methodism, for charitable purposes. Tt is our conviction that the sanitarium, with its fine reputation already estab- | lished. and now advertised and en- dorsed by all our Methodist ministers, the members of their churches and their friends, can be made to bring in a ! fair annual income to be used in estab- lishing an aged couples’ home, an or- phanage and whatever such institu- tions may be most nceded. Not only| should it become a Methodist institu- | tion, but a radiant Protestant center,| shedding the light and warmth of a Christian philanthropy into all the world. There is a marked distinction | between a sanatorium and a sanitari- | um. The former seeks to cure a di i ease through scientific means without | any religious aim. Tle sanitarium is| not less scientific, but it practices the | healing art in the name of the Supreme | Healer, Jesus Christ. It is more than a resort for invallds; it is a - health school, wherein is taught a symmetri- inclading health cal health gospel, of body, health of mind, health of soul. It/ aims to instruct the learner how to avoid illness, to cultivate such habits of living as prolong life, increase pow er of endurance and promote efficiency. The fragrant religious atmosphere of | the sanitarium is wholesome and health | promoting, one of its most \‘u]uahlpr features. While we do not ask for money which rightly belongs to some other cause, vet any amount will be;| received gratefully from any one desir- ing a part in this roval work, which is destined to become such a blessed boon to multitudes of sufferers. The financial secretary of the propo- | sition, Rev. Dr. M 8. Kaufman, invites | correspondence touching any phase of | the enterprise. His address is still 200 Saratoga street, Providence, R. I. He also invites the co-operation of all who are interested. IMPROVEMENTS IN TOWN SCHOOL BUILDINGS. Better Accommodations for Pupils. The town school board met on Mon- day evening for its regular monthly | meeting in the superintendent’s room | in the Town hall, and as the chief item of business heard a report from Chair- man Shepard B. Palmer of the com- mittee on care of property. The report | covered the repairs and alterations in | the school buildings which the com-| mittee considers it advisable to have made in preparation for another school year. These are most extensive in the Bridge school and the High street school. At the Bridge school the committee had at first thought that a new build- ing would be needed, but upon further consideration it was discovered how changes in the present building could | be made to bring it up to modern re- | quirements. These provide for putting | in a heater, the shifting of the entrance to the side of the building from its present location at the front, and some changes in the other exits. The toilet arrangements have not been all that was desired, and these will be improv- ed by placing them in the cellar and pukting in a concrete floor. Additional yard space will be gained by. the changes that are recommended. At the High sireet school, which is the congestion . point in the whole school system, the committee has evolved a plan to relieve the crowd- ing there. This will be accomplished by extensive rearrangement of the rooms on the main floor. The Mt. Pleasant street schoolhouse is to be shingled and there are to be improvements made in the tollet ar- rangements at the Broadway and at, the Boswell avenue school. In a num- ber of the other school bulldings minor repairs are to be made. e The committee is to meet again in about a week or ten days for further business. The diplomas have been re- ceived, so that they can be ready for tion day. 1t was decided to leave the Rockwell street gate at the Broad street school open dur/ag the summer.
