Lady Assistant INSTALLATION - AT GERMAN CHURCH Rev. F. P. Werth Formally Placed in Pastorate—Sermon to the People by Rev. E. F. Hinkeldey of Middletown—To the Pastor by ‘Rev. J. Timm of New Haven—Special Music by Maennercher and Mixed Choir. Rev, F. P. Werth, who has been serving the German Lutheran church as pastor since the first of November, was formally installed in the pastorate at services held\ at the church _on Thursday evenins. A congregation that filled the church to its capacity was present for the services, which egan at 7.45 o'clock. The sermon to the congregation was by Rev, E. F. Hingkeldey of Middle- town, who spoke impressively from the text 1 Cor. 4: Let a_man s0 account of us, as of ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysterles. of God. Here, moreover, it i3 required in stew- ards that a man be found faithful, But with me it is a very small thing that 1 should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own Self. For I know nothing against my- self; yet I'am not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me is thé Lord. He spoke of what the congregation could demand of the newly called pas- tor, pointing out that he serves not man, but Christ, and that they were not to demand of him things that he could not fulfill. They were not to judge him, but to be patient. The sermon to the pastor was from the same text and was-delivered by Rev. J. Timm of New Haven, who spoke of the pastorale as a service and a trusteeship. He is president of the district of Connecticut of the New York synog of the Evangelical Luth- eran church. The formal installation was per- formed Rev, Mr. Timm. Twenty-two singers from the Taft- ville Maennerchor rendered two selec- tions during the services and there were anthems by the mixed choir of the church which led the congrega- tional singing, The benediction at the conclusion of the service was pronounced by the newly Installed pastor. A lunch was served in the Sunday school room after the installation ser- vice was over. This part of the eve- ning was in charge of the ladies of the church. Pastor Werth and the visiting clergymen and the deacons of the church were seated at a special table, which was prettily decorated with bouguets of flowers. Pastor Werth was born and educated in Germany, but entered the ministry in Wisconsin in 1893, where for a year he had a pastorate at Janesville. He also did missionary work for a year in Michigan, but in the fall of 1913 he left the west as a change of climate was needed on account of the rheu- matism with which he suffered. He bought a farm at North Franklin, where he has been located until his call to the pastorate of the church ere. $9,300 FOR ROYAL LINEN MILLS AT AUCTION. Mystioc Mill Property Was Bid in By Largest Creditor. The Roval Linen mulls at _ Mystic, were sold at auction there Thursday by Charles E. Wheeler in accord- ance with an order of the court to matisfy _oustanding claims against them. Chief of these claims was one of $10,000 held by Fred A. Sherman of Worcester, which with intorest amounted to about $13,000, and a tax bill of $1,389.42. Mr. Sherman bid fn the plant for the next highest bidder would offer $9,300 which was $100 more than the next highest bidder would offer. That bidder was.George Barker of Warren, R. L, who bought in the ma- chinery of the plant, sold separately by J. Elmer Ayers, for $2,000. It is said to be possible that Mr. Barker will make some arrangement for taking possession of the factory and conducting a linen manufactur- ing business there. There is also a possibility that Mr. Sherman, the largest_creditor of the plant, will move from Worcester his corset bric manufacturing tusiness and cupy the plant. fa- oc- ASSOCIATE MEMBERS FOR CHELSEA BOAT CLUB.

UNITED LENTEN SERVICE. Rev. Latta Griswold, of Middletown, R. 1, Was Preacher at Church, Rev. Latta Gri eley wold, rector of Berk Memorial chapel, Middletown, R was the Lenten preacher at tr fifth of the united services held & piscopal and Trinity K hes on Thursday evening Christ church, Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector of the church, read for the first lesson the second chapter of Lamentations and as the second lesson a _part of the 14th chapter of Hebrews. Arc deacon J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trinity Episcopal church offered pray- er, Rev. Mr. Griswold took as his text, “And when he opened the seventh seal there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” In his introductory remark: Rev, Mr. Griswold said perhaps the most difficult book of the Bible to understand is the last book, Revela- tions. St. John, after his deliverance, took refuge on the island of Patmos and on Patmos he had a vision of the eternal struggle between goodness and evil. Perhaps in no other book in the world have evil and sin been por- trayed so vividly as in_ Revela- tions. In his vision St Paul saw the drama of life in the breaking of seven seals by the Lamt When the Lamb opened first seal he saw a_ white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow. “This was the image of Christ Himself,” Rev, ) Griswold said. And when he opened the second seal a req horse came forth. This repre- sents war. He opened the third seal and behold, a black horse. Rev. Mr. Griswold said this horse is the image of scarcity and hgrd times. When the Lamb broke the fourth seal there came forth a pale horse, representing ruin, famine and pestilence. When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, St. Paul saw the souls of those who were slain for their faith in Jesus. And when_the sixth was loosed there was a great earthquake. This represents the wreaking of the vengeance of God on man for his sins. And when he opened the seventh seal there followed a silence in heaven for about the space of a half hour. In this sentence is the key to the mystery of God's will. We are lving in an age of great difficulties, Social and moral standards are going more and more into chaos. It matters very little, in the sight of God, in what form evil tempts us. Sin is sin and involves separation from God. We know our temptations. Some- times we feel the need of advice. Sometimes we go to others for it and sometimes others come to us. Give God a chance to speak to you Our ears are open to all other voices in the world, why are they not open to His? From the silence of communion God will come to the soul. There is no solution for human problems save that we learn to do the will of God. To know God is to have eternal life. There will be two more united Lent- en services this year, the next to be helg next Thursday at Trinity church Wwhen the preacher will be Rev. George L. Paine, rector of St. Paul's church, New Haven, and'the following Thurs- day evening the united service will be held at Christ church when the ser- mon is to be delivered by Rev. Alvin P. Knell, rector of Trinity church, Brooklyn. Conn, AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. The Honeymoon Girls appeared at the Auditorium theatre on Thursday in an entirely new musical farce com- edy, Casey’s Nightmare. Lou Powers and Felix Martin around whom the trend of happenings revolved were ably backed up by the large chorus _of pretty girls. The stage setting was appropriate and there were unusually pretty gowns in evidence. Some of the old Irish airs were heard and one of the young ladles gave a creditable exnibition of too dancing while Miss West again made a hit with the large| audiences with her interpretation of a2 mechanical doll. On the picture programme the fea- ture was the Sth episode of the Ex- ploits of Elaine, shown in two reels and entitled, The Hidden Voice. The comedy film was The Story of the Silk Hats, with King Bagsott.

WE INVITE INSPECTION dignity of their positions and = 7z s The Portzous & iitche.l Co. SKIRTS - SHIRRED AND FLARING. to Hems— Waists High at the Back, Sleeves Long—New Ideas in Hats. ‘While yet the temperature is well below the freezing point, there is be- ing displayed a bewildering line of tub and other summer frocks and suits. Conspicuous amon; these are the Palm Beach cloth suits, the skirt flar- ing modishly, the natty jackets effect. ively trimmed. This style of spring suit wins instant admiration. Linen, lawns, dim! s, defined and broken plaids, something entirely new in frosted silks, soft pussy willow taf- fetas, crepe de chines, black and white in various materials, quaint, dainty silks reminiscent of Cnlonial patterns, are among the season’s offerings. Skirts flare pronouncedly, and & fea- ture of dressy frocks is the emphasis given the hem. There are corded hems, what are called by the trade “deep cuft bottoms,” hems with bows and round- ed or Grecian border scallops, and ev- ery imaginable sert of trimming. Combinations are in high favor, both as to materials and colors. The fash- ionable sand tint is noted in coats and suits. There is much braiding, while ribbon enters largely into effective trimming. b With reference to scalloped hems, they are so finished to match the fa: vorite style of scalloped hat brims. And, speaking of hats, one noticed yesterday was a clever adaptation of the Harry Lauder idea, worked out in a tete de negre Milan. For trimming it had bronze flowers and uncut velvet Florette ribbon. Handsome mn the extreme was a tri- corne hemp in sand cgor, with Alice blue taffeta bow and &. -ot of satin rosebuds in rose shades. A box turban in French knot braid was of black, with white top. There was a standing effect of black horse- hair braid, and a line of cerise around the face and forming three small bows at the back. Poised at the front was an ostrich pompon. An army blue large sailor in French crepe had a transparent brim with a garland of flowers inlaid. A band and tied bow with an underbrim bow of velyet ribbon made a smart finish. On a hemp Gainsborough, covered with French blue crepe, the top brim trimming was of grapes and roses. A chic bow of Belgian blue ribbon was under the brim. Very beautifitl was a black saflor with Tose edge and roses on the crown. This was veiled with black French crepe and had-a dashing spider bow at the back. Gowns, Waists and Neckwear. It is difficult to imagine anything daintier than are the gowns displayed this season. Even in the cotton gowns; necks are high and sleeves long. This is emphas:zed in a blue and black striped taffeta, having black net sleeves and yoke. The high standing collar and long sleeves of the net are excellent examples of the favored modes of the season. Shirred skirts are top-liners in pop- ularity. One handsome design noticed at the openings Thursday was that of a gray crepe de chine in which the Bhirring was defined by a gray silk cord, eimi- upon foreigners at Monterey. The light and power company there,.own- :gayy British capital, was taxed $35, Of the 5,000,000 people in London more than 300,000 are in a chroni lar cord finishing the hem. Belt and slecves were in polnts of the gray over cerise velyet. Silver lace was inlaid in the waist and there was a rich fin- ish of gray ends tipped with cerlse beaded drops. 3 A Nets are_greatly liked for evening up over shadow lace instead of under it, as before. Apropos to shadow lace, it Is the thing for the vests and collars, which are ~ such important adjuncts to Miladi's toilette this spring. Oother smart collars come in com- bined black and white lace, invarjably with a big bow at the high bac In neckwear, shaded tango ties are socd and innumerable Windsor ties are sold. Irish crochet collars and | cuffs continue in favor and net guimpes are well liked. But guimpes button up to the throat, and so do the majority of the newest waists. Waists, by the way, are very high at the back. The ieading materials are lace, crepe de chine, voile, linens and a combination of pique and crepe de chine. With Easter only about three weeks away, it is wise to select one's spring finery now!
