The proposed increase in the fees of the medical practioners of the city, as decided upor at the December meeting of the Norwich Medical Society, has brought discussion and debate, and has become a pretty live issue hereabouts. The Norwich Central Labor union voiced the sentiments of a considera- ble portion of the public, When at a regular meeting this week a res- olution was offered and unanimous- ly carried protesting against the prorosed increase in fees of the mem- bers of the Medical society, and at the same time it sent this communi- cation to the Medical soclety for its consideration: We, of the laboring - and _ working classes dare not ask our employers for an increase of 33 1-3 per cent. in wages and we must turn out finished and pecfect produtts to hold our po- sitions, a mistake generally calls for dismissal. We seldom ask for an increase of more than 20 per cent. in wages and invariably get but from 3 to 5 per cent. granted, and then in most cases, only after weeks and months of fighting and_suffering. The inadequate wages paid to the laboring classes of today make it necessary, for many, to live under con- ditions that make it more often nec cssary to call for the services of a physician. We believe that the physicians in our city have as good, if not better, financial standing than the prosperous merchants of our city; and this stand- ing referred to was made possible under the present, and we deem, ade~ quate fee. We assure the physicians that we are open to conviction in this very vital matter, as much so as if it were “strictly” trade affairs and we stand ready to give audience to any of these in_our regular meeting. Signed, RESOLUTION COMMITTEE, Norwich Central Labor Union. As was previously announced the rate for house_ calls will go cording to the Medical society’s stand, on and after January 1st, from $1.50 per visit to $2.00 per visit, 'with a sim- lar increase for other services. The doctors feel that in so raising their tees, they are orly acting in justice to themselves and point to similar action which is being generally adopted in cities of this size.

PRINTED MORE BIBLES THAN EVER BEFORE. jous Bodies in United States Have Grown Substantially in Year. Statisties issued this week by the rcipal religious bodies In the nited States show an increase of 0,000 in the total of nine large de- srand total of 27,725,000 reported last year. When the complete fizures are compiled in February it is believed that the same substantial rate of increase wiil be shown. The indica- tions are that smaller organizations are making relative progress. The Presbyterian church this year has ned a larger number of new mermbers than in any year in its his- tory, The gains of other churches for 19i5 are: Catholics 242,000; Bap- tists 143.0 Methodists 104,000; Lu- therans 000. Disciples 50,000, and opzlians 26,400 These figures 1 indicate that of the more than 100,000,000 inhabitants of the United States about 40,000,000 have church rted that one factor in this the Protestant side is due lopment of various activ- such as the Movement and s effc organizations in the members themselves help the clerzy in surveys and canvassing. Contributions for missions to the denominations have been un- rge. The Protestant Episcopal has raised $20.000,000 for its and has exceeded its missionary apportionment. The Methodists pass- ed the amount which they hoped to 000 The Roman Catho- nccessful in obtaining ndant furds and they have re- rted to raise $500,000 for a ters of the Knights of Co- in New York city. Fenevolences tc the war sufferers, Christian associations, the Salva- Arm: nd other agencies, have very large. The Jews have re- cently started a movement to ralse funds for those of their race in war siricken lands. . The Catholics have shown a growth 1 influence, and under the new Pope have iner sed their power in various iropean countries, including Eng- and. Most of the religious faiths are free from controversy The Episcopalians debating stil'le the question as to whether or not their Board of Missions should have voted to send delegates to the Panama Conzress on Religious work. The Preshyterians are stin wih on dev on een 4 strugzling with the perennial problem the orthodo: eminar rary output of the religious organizations has been unusually ¢ of the Union Theo- large. The printing of Bibles was the largest in the history of the American of world. publiskers, in_part because the war, have ever been _ selling ies of the Scriptures in England. e American and British Foreign Bi- le Societies in 1915 have distributea larzest number of copies of Holy Writ in their existence. The output of books on general re- ligious subjects written Dby both clergymen and the devout laity, has been unusually large. There has also been a notable increase in the pro- duction of religious musical works. CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL AT PARK CHURCH ENJOYED. Gifts of the Children Will Bring Hap- piness to Seven Famili The annual Christmas festival for the Sunday school was held on Friday afterncon in Park Congregational church at 3.30 o'clock. As Miss Annie Tafft began playing O Come, All Ye Faithful, the members of the Sunday school marched in from the chapel rooms, bringing the Christmas gifts which' they had brought for the empty tree. Two Christmas hymns, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear and O Little Town of Bethlehem, were sung and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. How A short address by Dr. Howe followed. He spoke of Christ's idea of giving to the poor and needy who could not pay in return gifts, and quoted his own words on this subject as our example for doing the same. The story of why the chimes rang also showed which gifts God likes the best. The infant class sang two carols, What Child is This and Away in a_Manger, and then the superintendent, Westons C. Pullen, spoke “of the seven families to whom the gifts brought were to be given and aeked the children to think of their joy Christmas morning in the midst of their own. As he called for the do- nations from the 13 classes a recita- tion was given with each gift. Those responding in this way were Mary Tirrell, Philip Sayles, Stanley Vaughn, Arthur Norton, Louise Norton, Neison Branche, John Fellows, Sadie Colt, Harold Prentice, Lucy Loring, Ralph Marsh, Katherine Hempstead and a group from the infant class. Many packages of good things filled the plat- form in front of the lighted Christmas tree and their cheery decorations as well as the small tree already hung with mysterious packages completed the effect of the church decorations in evergreens and kept up the tradition of the wise men. The recessional was the hymn Onward, Christian Soldiers, and in the chapel each child received a box of candy. Eben Learned led the singing. Positively Unearthly. T.
