Burnt saysage, ancient beans, a mackerel that went bad in 1911, water bugs’ and discourtesy on the part of officials entered conspicuously into the testimony at the hearing before Gov- ernor Holcomb on Tuesday on oot ditions at the Old Soldiers’ home Noroton. Morning and ‘afternoon ses- sions-were held, the morning being de- voted to the complaints of the old sol- diers and the afternoon session to the defense offered by the officials. Major George S. Smith, inspector of the home and formerly a resident of Norwich, was under the heayiest fire at the afternoon session. In fact the criticism in general tended to strike him more than anyone else. In reply to many queries asked by the gov- ernor Maior Smith explained some and denied others. “You are responsible for seeing that the beds, floors and wards are kept clean? the governor asked. “Well,” said the major, “I've never had that duty defined. The rules spe- cify that a formal inspection of cloth- ing and the mei's quarters must be made once a week. That takes place on Monday morning. The inspector Aluua.uy accompanied by a doctor, all defects are reported.” “Is therel anyone under you whose duty it is_to see that the beds are ke'%vfileun"“ y, once a month we have bug day,” sald the major frankly. “Yes, g day—the day we kill the bugs. A man sprays under the beds—and in this connection I would say that the spraying fluid gets on the bed mat- tresses, and that is why several of them appear to be dirty, whereas they are really not. dirty.” “Do you supervise the table?” ask- ed the governor. “In a general way, ves.” “You have héard what these men said ~about the hash swimming in grease. at do you wish to say about that?” “1 can say confidently that mo cot- tonseed oil, or any other foreign mat- ter has ever been used in the hash.” “Can you state, major,” Judge Beers asked, “whether or {not every hotel always has perfect c&okmg"' The major declared h had eaten at hotels all over the land, ffom Maine to Texas, and had' frequently had so- called New England bolled dinners ‘which included corned beef that was actually so tough he couldn’t eat it. ‘“Whereas,” he concluded, “everybody will admit that our corned beef is ten- der.” Hg denied that he interfered unduly with ‘the cook but admitted two or three had been discharged for catse. Dr. Gilberi Smith of the hospital said that as far as he knew the foed W all right. He was asked to taste-the sausage so bitterly com- plained of Tuesday morning, he said, and considered it edible. ‘Ward Master Henry Smith, an in- mate of the home for ten years, tes- tified for the officials of the home. men were allowed to bathe on only three days a.,week, he admitted, but ‘he added that on ecial occa- sil':':m they could take baths at odd times. } Bushmen! food consists largely of locusts.

A selection was -rendered by the choir while 1t was taken. sermo Worcester spoke in' part as follows: The Wwar in Europe invoives the world.. It is not ely a background te our thought; must affect the whole tenor of our thanksgiving. That we have thus far been spared the se- verest stress of conflict is ground, in- deed, for gratitude, but too self-cen- tered de superficial to be an adequate ground. What signs are there, even under.a darkened sky, of the reign of righteousness and the eternal validity of God’s good purpose? What Has Beon Discl ‘There have been disclosed am: , first. of all, the springs of a great compassion. Commercialism and self- seeking are not the whole of American life. Need has called to us across all the barriers of distance and strange- ness, and the question “Who is my neighbor?” has been answered once more as it was in the parable of the good Samaritan. There has been- revealed = in the American character an unsuspected reserve of sobriety and self-restraint. The old braggadocio is gone; there is gomethipg less of touchiness and swag- r. The nation has had to rule its spirit; let us hope that the discovered possibility of so doing has not been lost upon us. N + Gains We Have Made. The year has brought us a great gain in thoughtfulness. We e had larger' themes to retlect on, and ha applied ourselves to them more ear- nestly, than at any time since the Civil war. We-have been confronted with a practical as well as an intellectual necessity of grasping such terms as patriotisp, democracy, brotherhood, x i Contribution te the Spiritual. - A word also about the year's con- tribution to the spiritual assets of the world as a whole. We believe the war has revgaled to a somewhat material- istic first the necessity and then the power of agencies that are spirit- al. The most moving appeals are still those to the unseen forces of men’s higher nature. The war has re- vealed an amazing capaicty for sacri- fice in behalf of ideals and loyaity to a cause outside oneself. Is it too much to hope that this latent force will some day be avallable in the cause of Christ, the most /idealistic and most sacrificial of leaders? Need of Reconstruction. We eee already that the war will necessitate reconstruction on an un- exampled scale, not merely of -cities, factories, railroads, the ¥hyalca.l prop- erties of existence, but of international relations, governmental policies, sys- tems of thought and organized en- deavor. Such reconstruction consti- tutes nmew opportunity—a marvelous day for Christian leadership, if there is any worthy of the name, and for a Christian following, without which leadership is futil ‘What has been called the “International conscience” is fast gaining clarity and power. It has not done all the best of men had hfl for, but it has by no means icated.” The war may last long enoulh to ripen world-judgment to finality concerning some of the very 'lhlngs that have so tarnished the es- cutcheon of this opening century. In any case God reigns, trath is still true, ‘and' righteousness still right, and love ! still the greatest thing in the world. If not in this agesthen in some other and ampler, the world will praise His manifested governance. ‘The benediction which concluded the service was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Wyckoft.
