Are they less and les- hearing His voice? it is legitimate to press hard bto suc- cess, yet we allow ourselves not to hear the voice of Jesus. Would that men would listen to his vaice. The church needs not more men and Wo- men, but better. Aithough the women are working, far too many are lsten- ing to society. Too many are heeding the vaice of active society life and they neglect o open their ears to his veice. If there is one lack it is the presence of young men. First indefference, un- til they arrive at the prodigal' coun- try. They listen to the voice calling them out and fail to listen to the young man of Nazareth. The young woman has possibilities to influence ‘the young man's life pos- sessed by no other. Let her use it. Hear .the Master as he tells us the purpose of his coming. I came that they might have life and that, they m\ht have it more abundantly. We have the life that passes muster, per- haps, but we have failed to have the more abundant life. Hear Him as he tolks with the sin- Tul woman: “Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.” There are those rwho want sympathy. Hear Him as he teaches the lesson of humility when' he washes the disci- 'ples’ feet. Him as sorrows and clouds “Let mot your heart be trou- Hear Him as he teaches the lesson that no soul can get bevond His love: “For God ao loved the world that He gave nis only begotten Son that who- sosvor bellsveth in Him shounld not Perish, bt have eternal life” Wo neea to listen to His voice. We dont listen to Him In the home life 25 much as we might. Fvery Chris- tian is sent from God as truly as John the Baptist, or John R. Mott.

Tinker vs. City of New London, which is assign- ed for trial on Wednesday, is one of more than usual public interest as Mr. Tinker, who is an ex-mayor of New London is endeavoring to secure a permanent injunction restraining the city from paying the expenses of the delegates to the annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper WaterWways in Jacksonville a year ago. About a year ago Mayor Bryan F. Mahan appointed Alderman Charles H. Thompson, Alderman John J. Ryan and Selectman Byron A. Fones dele- gates from the city to the waterways convention at Jacksonville. The del- egates attended the convention, each paying his own evpenses for which he was to be reimbursed by the city. Immediately after their return, ex- Mayor Tinker secured a temporary in- junction restraining the city from paying the delegates the money ad- vanced by them on the ground that the city had no right to spend money for any such purpose. Before the case could be returned to court, the city through Corporation Counsel William T. Connor made application to have the injunction dissolved. At a hearing held in Norwich, Judge Shumway re- fused to dissolve the injunction, The case was' then returned to court for a hearing for a permanent injunction forbidding the city to pay the money and this- matter will be itried next Wednesday.

The rainy weather kept away many who. would otherwise have attended but in spite of the unfavorable weath- er conditions there was a good sized gathering at the church, and the in- teresting programme was well: car- ried out, & g ‘A untque.feature of the celebration was that, incorporated in ‘the invita- tions sent out by .the pastor was the suggestion that each one bring at least 69 cents, one penny for each year of the *church’s -life; for a contribution to be used towards the reduction of the church . debt of $400 incurred by necessary repairs on the building. The response was pleasing as over $87 was received up to Friday evening and there are bright prospects for addi- tional contfibutions, that is, from those who- were kept away by- the wet ‘weather. Seated on the platform with Rev. A. L. Tedford, the pastor, when the pre gramme Yegax, were Rev. A. B. Coates, D. D, of Hartford, Rev, Joel B..Sl cum,- D, D., pastor of the Central Ba tist church and Rev. George H. Strouse pastor of the First Baptist church. Rev. Mr. Tedford presided,through- out the evening and the programme was opened at 7.45 o'clock with the singing of the hymn, All Hail the Pow- er of Jesus’ Name. Remarks by the pastor followed and there was a vo- cal solo, In_the Heart of the City That Has No Heart, by Stephen E. Mr. Strouse then made in which he extended hearty consratulations to the members of the church,. After a_reading by Mrs, W. E. Manning, Rev. Dr. Slocum made-a brief address. After the pre. liminary ' remiarks Dr. Slocum’ spoke emphatically en Fellowship and Chris- tian Passion. Miss Alice Hayden ren- dered a solo and another-reading by Mrs. Manning followed. Rev. Dr. Coates made-a few remarks in which - he spoke' of the conditions surrounding the organization of the church and how much the world has progressed since that time. “He refer- red to the present ‘great European strife saying that the.war has greatly decreased the immigration into this country. - Only women and children are able to come here now and we must take care ‘of them. One-of the ways to take care of them is to pre- pare ourselves for the religious strife. Rev. Mr. Tedford thanked all those who took part in the programme and he also thanked those who were pres- ent for their interést and for their help-in making the celebration a suc- cess. After the singing of the hymn Onward Christian Soldlers the pro- gramme came to-a close and all ad- Jjourned to the chapel where delicious refreshments of sandwiches, cake and coffee were served the committee. Mrs. H. 1. Peckham chairman, Mrs. Elmer Mulkins, Mrs, . Larken;- Mrs. Robert McNeely, Mrs. John Hill, Mrs. Herbert ‘Baldwin and Mrs. Willis Hill. Misses Clara_Hamilton, Helen Larkin, Doro- thea, McNesly and Grace Kern acted as waitresses. The church was. pret- tily decorated for the occasion, the degorating committee comprising Mrs. Herb Mrs,-Robert-McNeely and Miss Alice Hayden. Miss Kramer presided at the organ... The Third Baptist church was or- ganized in 1845, being at that time a mission of the Central church. Through a varied history the church has main- tained its desire to fulfill its mission to the community. Largely through the influerice and effdrts of Rev. P, C. ‘Wright, former pastor of the Central church, an affiliation with the North Main street M, E. church was effected for working purposes, each chyrch, however, retaining its own identity. This union went’ into 'effect April 1913, Rev. A,’L. Tedford, the present pas- tor, was in general charge of the cel- ebration. DIVORCES: GRA*TEQ ON “TWO "WIVES’ PETITIONS ‘Both Had Been Deserted—One Lives in Baltic, the Other in. New Lon- don. ~ —_— Tn the superior court at New. Lon- don on day morning, Mrs. Hattie E. Burr of Baltic, whose maiden name wag Parkhurst, was given. a divorce on the grounds of -desertion from Milo E. Burr of Killingly, to whom she was married on Oct. 20, 1888. Attorney John H. Barnes was her counsel in the case. .The desertion took place on January 3, 1906. The Dplaintiff was given the right to resume her. maiden name of Parkhuraf.

Help to Fire Fighters and to Tobacco M The long delayed rain Friday was welcomed by nearly evervbody and especially the tobacco men of the state. It will add many thousands of dollars to_the value of their crop. There has not been a rain Nke this one since the middle of August. The fire wardens around the state will ‘also welcome the raln, as many of them are blackened with smoke and ashes from the forest fires which they and volunteer armies of fire fighters have ‘Deen combatting. Everyone hopes for a sufficient rainfall to moisten the parched earth. to soak into the under- brush and day leaves and remove the great danger of forest fires, and to brace up withering vegetation which has drooped. not & much because of autumn frosts as because of the drought. And there is 2lso hope that Frigave rain was the forerunner of coplousrshowers that miwht rerlenish a | the dwindling streams and water res. ervations. Hartford Boys Coming on Special.
