Coughlin Stops Runaway—Personals. After spending the month of Feb- ruary with their son at his home in Savannah, Ga. Sheriff Herbert E. raper and Mrs. Draper of Prospect street have returned to their home on Prospect street. While in the south Mr. and Mrs. Draper were delighted with the moderate weather which they had as it was qulte a_change from the northern climate. They experienced no colder weather than 75 desrees above zero. ‘Savannah is one of the most beauti- ful cities of the south and is doing a Jarge export trade. Mr. Draper was very much interested in noticing the differences between the north and the south, The majority of the population are negroes and are engazed in ped- dling farm produce and in handling cotton on the wharves. Strawberries sold for 15 cents a quart and other southern fruit was verv cheap com- pared to the prices charged by the northern merchants. Mr. Draper met many people in his stay in the south that had never seen snow but hoped to enjov that novelty Tt i5 quite evident that these people Ao mot_hail from the north. Mr. and Mrs$® Draver were delizhted with their stay in_Savannah and were charmed by the hospitality shown them by the people of the south. Miss Lillian Mahoney Entertains.

NORWICH BULLETIN, Eternal— MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1916 ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY A SOCIAL UPLIFTER Church Helps Fellow Man to Take His Stand. Rev. ¥.

TP At the Central Baptist church on Sundey evening 2 sermon of unusual interest was delivered by the pastor, Rev. Joel B. Slooum; D. D., who chose for his topic, The Greatest Thing in Life. A feature of the service was the special musical programme which in- cluded two very well rendered ‘cello s0los by Miss Alma Lila Allen, daught- er of Mr. and Mrs. John Allen of Oc- cum. For her firat selection Miss Al- len rendered Andante Cantilena, Golt- erman and Le Reve, Golterman. Noyes Gale, who has been apoint- ed organist during the absence of Her- bert T. Miller, presided at the organ. Rev. Dr. Slocum took his text from 1 Cor. 13-18: But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the great- est of these is love. = What is the greatest thing in Iife? asked Dr. Slo- cum. The young man who answers me does not hesitate. His eves spar- kie and his voice is buoyant. With a great confidence he answers proudly: “Pleasure.” When I show surprise he answers, “Why everybody knows that pleasure is the greatest thing in the world"—and then he sits down and proves it to me proves it beyond ques- tlon (at least to his own way of think- ing). Pleasure? Why, count up— count up all the theatres, especially the moving picture places in the world and the millions Who go to these places every day. Then count up all the attractions of the world that are constructed with special reference to sight-seers and pleasure seekers. Es- timate all the clubs and organizations whose chief aim is pleasure. Then try to imagine how many millions are spent each vear by the very wealthy in the pursult of pleasure. ~All to ail these the vas expenditures of the well- to-do for the purchase of luxuries in the furtherance of the quest for life’s joys, and vou will have a sum total that will stagger the most darin imagination. Then my friend looks up to me with an air of triumph. 1 admit the strength of his asser- tions but I am not ready to agree that he has proved his case. So I ask again: What is the greatest thing in life? Quickly another answers—"Bus- iness.” I look at him and his entire personality seems to agree with and back up his statement. He is keen- sed and direct. His sentences are short and to the point. It does not take him long to tell me a good deal and when he has finished I am tre- mendously impressed. e does not know everything: it would require too much time. In a few moments of well chosen language. fllustrated by some few statements in his own line, he succeeds in convincing me to an extent that I had never experienced before, as to the enormous, almost unthinkable valume of business in this country alone, to say nothing about the entire world. Still I am not convinced, for I have in mind that there has always been an_{rrepressible conflict between ma- terial things on the one hand and spir- itual agenciea on the other. I am not ready to admit that purely materia] considerations are to shape the des- tiny of a soul. So, I inquire again, ‘What is the greatest thing in life? Another replies, Politics. 1 discover that this man is an unusual talker and his arguments are sound. He shows me that politics have to do with business in all great business operations are de pendant to a large extent upon the policies adopted by the government. Again I ask, and one who impresses me with a noble personality replies, “Education.” And as he goes on in the discussion of great ideals and the liberation of the human spirit in it horizon of vision it seems to me that the thngs that the other three gentle- men sought to impress upon me fads into insignificance. Here, at last, we are nearing life's great secret I ask again and a young man in a military uniform, comes to attention, salutes and answers, W He waxes enthusiastic as he seeks to impress me with the power of war. It is the great and final arbiter in the destinies of nations and mankind, he tells me. But I am still searching for a man who can tell me what is life's biggest thing. There is something greater than all these things that have been mention- ed. It is represented by that little word of_four letters, Love. Love fs life's greatest thing because of its intrinsic value. Tt is the one word that comes nearest to serving as a predicate for God. God is love. That comes nearer describing God than any other word in our language. Love is the greatest thing in the world be- cause of what it has_accomplished and can accomplish. The men who are now leading great armies may not long be remembered, but He who founded a kingdom on love will never be forgotten and he will never lack followers who will die for Him if neea be. Love will yet grapple world's hate and conquor it the greatest thing because it is eter- nal. It never fails. The other things wear out and are forgotten, but love lives on. Even in our human nature love proves itself sublime. The love of a mother for her boy lives on and on, long after the boy has forfeited every right to recelve it. How much more is the love of God eternal and unchangeatle? with the Love is FORMER NORWICH MAN ORGANIZES COMPANY B. F. Leavitt is President of Toledo Diving Concern. B. F. Leavitt, formerly of this city, in company with several prominent business men of Toledo, O. has or- ganized the Leavitt Diving Armor company with $30,000 capital for sal- vaging lost cargoes. Mr. Leavitt is president of the company. The corporation has exclusive rights to a new diving apparatus which is said to permit work 700 feet under water. The present diving record is about 240 feet, attained by a_diver who went down for the F-4, a United States submarine, which sunk off the Hawailan islands. The diver was able to remain submerged only a short time. Air Hose Unnecessary. Ordinarily a diver seldom is required to work at a greater depth than 75 feet. The chief difference between this new suit and that in use is that the new one is rigid, so that it can with- stand enormous pressure from the outside, while the old style suit is flexible and must be inflated with a strong air pump on the surface. The air is unnecessary in the new ermor. An oxygen tank supplies the diver's neegds. The “Leaviit Diving Armor,” as the invention is called, will be made in Toledo. Several manufacturers have been asked for bids. B. F. Leavitt. ventor will superintend construction of the suit, which is expected to be finished in 'six weeks. The preliminary test will then be held on the great lakes. Mr. Leavitt will be the first to descend. If the test shows the suit reliable the company purposes starting sal- vage work immedfately. Tt has writ- ten to the department of commerce at Washington for a “wreck chart” which shows the location of all sunken car- goes and their contents. Normal surface pressure is maln- tained in the apparatus, making it possible for a diver to remain sub- merged about four hours, the replen- ishment of the oxygen tank being the only reason for ascent. The diver is able to return to his work immediate- Iy Tt is bevond endurance to remain below in the ordinary suit for more than 20 minutes, and the diver must be raised and lowered slowly to al- low blood pressure to adjust itself to conditions. The armor weighs 125 pounds and requires no weights. The shoes weigh 16 pounds. As the pressure attained at a depth of 700 feet is about 350 pounds to the square inch and the materials of ‘which the suit is to be made are guar- anteed to withstand 1,500 pounds to the square inch, the margin of safety claimed by the inventor is said to_be great. The suit is to cost about $500. Entertained Wideawake Club. On Wednesday evening the Wide- awake club was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Perkins of McKinley avenue. Four tables of whist were played. The first prizes were won by Mrs. J. C. Caswell and Mrs. W. F. Bogue. The consolations were taken by Mrs. Brewster and E. L. Burnap. Dainty refreshments were served and selections on the Victrola were enjoyed. The party broke up at 2 late hour, all voting it one of the most enjoyable events of the season. week end with Miss Malina Paquette of Providence street, Taftville.

The Mortal and the subject of the Tmmortal, was the sermon delivered Sunday evening at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church by the pastor, Rev Frederick W. Coleman. Rev. Mr. Coleman sald that nothing can be de- stroyed, even death cannot destroy. I can tear a flower apart so that you wouldn't be able to recognize it, but I haven't destroyea it, I have only sep- arated it iuto its component parts. It only requires the power of God to bring those parts together again. This is_a comforting way to look at death. We live in a world that is being transformed. When you transform a thing vou don’t kill it. Iron ore does- n't look very attractive: you can't tell it from rock, sometimes. But it is taken from the mine and is trans- formed. Lt us trust in the transform- ing power of God, who can take that which seems dead and transform it in- to_something of immortal beauty. The body is a <wonderful thing, bat after all it is only the house of the soul. When we leave the body, the oul goes forth. There is no destruc- tion for the soul when it goes on its eternal journey. Then, who are the dead? Those whom we bury day after day, week after week? Those thousands on the battleflelds? The apostle said in Co- rinthianh “Death, where is thy sting? O, grave, where is thy victory?” Thos who are dead are those whose souls and bodies are separated from God, who is the source of life and power. NEW SOPRANO AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Mrs. Frank Waters Succeeds Mrs. Louis Wheeler Resigned. Mrs. Frank Waters of West Pearl street has been engaged by the First Baptist church as soprano in the church choir to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Louis Wheeler. Mrs. Wheeler has fill- ed the posiiton so acceptably for sev eral years and her resignation was received with so much regret. Mrs. Waters, who has had much experience in choir work and church music, sang at the church Sunday, making a most favorable impression PENSION DAY FOR VETS. New Plan of Forwarding Checks is an Improvement Over Old. Saturday was pension day for vet- erans of the Civil and Spanish-Ameri- can wars. The present plan of forwarding checks without the bother of identi- tylng oneself every three months is a step forward that is fully apre- ciated by the veterans. Under the old plan the pensioner was obligzed to #ll out a blank each quarter day, hunt up a notary and make oath to the state- ments, then forward it to headquart- ers. 1f he failed in some trivial mat- ter, back came the paper with a print- ed slip on which would be indicated the failure.
