NORWICH MEN HEARD EX-PRESIDENT TAFT Were Present at New England Con- ference on Foreign Y. M. C. A. Work, —3 Representing the local Y. M. C. A. at the New England conference on foreign Y. M. C.

At the banquet in the Hotel Bond in the evening Hon. William Howard Taft, ex-president of the United States, paid the greatest tribute pos- sible to the Young Men's Christian Association. The speech came at the end of one of the busiest days in the history of the organization, during which secre- taries and business men had put their stamp of approval on the great work which has been conducted and is still being conducted in other lands and for which the vigorous commendation of Mr. Taft served as the climax. Two hundred and twenty-five secre- taries, business men, members and friends of the organization packed their way inside the banquet hall when the time came for the former president to speak, a number who could not find_seats standing at the entrance and from there hearing, as well as they could, the remarks of Mr. Taft and the other speakers. Mr. Taft's speech was a happy blending of the serious and the hu- morous. Before opening, he borrowed a pair of glasses “for young men” from a member of the audience, say- ing that he had left his at the home of Mr. Clark, whose guest he was dur- ing his stay in Hartford. Following President Taft came an address by Fletcher S. Brockman, re- cently national secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in_China, who told of the diffi culties of his early work in that coun- try and vividly pressed upon the minds of his audience the immense hardships encountered by American missionaries and Y. M. C. A. workers, in the first searching of Christian doctrines. G. Sherwood Eddy, natlonal secre- tary of the Y. M. C. A,, in Asia, com- pared material conditions in the east with those in the United States, say- ing that the Aslatic side of the world was_ “the poor half.” He told of the good which might be accomplished by the investment of a trifling amount of money in India. Other prominent speakers were also heard at the conference which in- cluded morning, afternoon and even- ing sessions. PRIZE SPEAKING CONTESTS AT WHEELER SCHOOL.

The mistake is frequently made of trying to build up a worn-out nervous system on so-called tonics. New material from which to rebuild used up tissue cells is what should be supplied, and this can be obtained only from proper food. "I found myself on the verge of a nervous collapse, due to overwork and study, and to iilness in the family,” writes a Wisconsin woman. “My friends became alarmed be- cause I grew pale and thin and could Rot sleep nights. I took various ton- ics, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me. “Reading of Grape-Nuts, I deter- mined to stop the tonics and see what a change of diet would do. I ate Grape-Nuts four times a day with cream, and drank milk also, went to bed early aftor eating a dish of Grape- X “In about two weeks I was sleeping soundly.

A new FIRST UNITED LENTEN SERVICE Congregations of Local Episcopal Churches Heard Sermon by Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown at St. Andrew’s In spite of the stormy weather there was a large attendance at St. Andrew's Episcopal church Wednesday evening for the first of the united Lenten ser- vices. The churches uniting in_these services are Obrist Episcopal, Trinity Episcopal and St. Andrew's Episcopal charches, and one union service is planned for each week during the Len- ten period. All three rectors, Archdea~ con J. Eldred Brown of Trinity church, Rev. F. Johns Bohanan of St. An- drew’s church and Rev. Richard R. Graham of Christ church, were present, The sermon was delivered by Arch- deacon J. Eldred Brown. Archdeacon Brown's topic was Non- Conformity to the World and his text was Romans 12:2: Do not conform to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is the good and ac- ceptable and perfect will of God. The text was of course, originally addressed to the Roman Christians. The world St. Paul had in mind was not the material world but the Ro- man world of his time, the world of human society, of Pagan idolatry and sensuality and cruelty and skepticism and de: ir, in a word, the great mul- titude who were living in opposition to God, or, at least, In utter indiffer- ence to His existence or precepts. That world was in St. Paul's day, dis- tinct and well defined. For in Rome, above all other places, this world was the sgknowledzed mistress and sover- ecign of human society. The Roman Christians were, of course, at the time this epistle was written, comparative- ly few in number. They were sur- rounded by vastly greater numbe: whose low standard or want of stand- ard, formed the prevailing fashion of the age. And that fashion formed a powerful and influential environment for the Christians. While we are not living in the same environment as that of the early Ro- man_Christians: while Christianity has been able in a considerable meas- ure to raise the moral and social standards of its surroundings, yet there is still a world of which we modern Christians have to beware; there is still an environment for us to resist, which, to say the least, is, in some of its phases, as godless, as cynical and as immoral as the Roman world of St. Paul's day. Some people think it worldly to have anything to do with politics; others ix in general scciety and still to have any Interest in pain architecture, music and even literature. But in becoming Christians we do not ce: human being se to become The Christian rather learns to bring to bear upon human interests and occupations the princi- ples of the highest life and calling, We have to beware of narrow and technical definitions of the world. What is it to be “fashioned accordis to the world"? It is to conform to NEW LONDON WON IN DAMAGE SUIT Jury Denied John W. Tripp's Claim for $3,000 Damages.

It s injustice, untruthful- ness, impurity, avarice, siander. it is devotion to seifish ambition and pleas- ure. It is lack of love and sympathy. It is putting pleasure before duty. It is preference of human maxims to divine principles or precepts. It is living one’s life without reference to God _or a future world. It is refusing to God or religion any intimate con- cern in one’s daily affairs. It is to b the slave of one's appetites and pas- slons. These and such like have been characteristics of worldliness, After giving some of the leading phases of the world today Archdeacon Brown spoke of those things which we are called upon to resist. They all have at their head powerful lcaders and forces, he said. The thins we Christians of today must come to understand is that our neglect of public worship and of our Christian_vows is conformity to world. Our Blessed Lord said: “He that is not with Me is against Me. There can be no neutrality in religion. The world knows this to be true to actual experience. In closing Archdencon Brown sald: The great resenerating and rencw ing power is the Holy Spirit and we can get this renovation of mind from no other person and no other agency. We have been considering some of the foremost products of the fleshly or unrencwed mind in this iate stage of the world’s history. We are, I re- peat, in this war witnessing th lapse on a large seale of tion built up after the plans of the unrenewed can see similar evidences of failure, corruption, cruelty and mercilessness wherever we find materialism. Is this the sort of thing we wuant for our- selves and our descendants? Is it concelvable that that is the sort world God intended and that the sort of_life God planned for us to live Let us think things out an God the credit of being wiser th being He created and have the to acknowledze that, when God His only Son into the world to die for man's redemption and estabiished His church with its sacramental provisions and recovery from sin and sent His Holy Spirit to transform men by re- nowing their minds in order that they might dlscern and have proof of His holy and perfect will; let us have the sroce, I say to acknowledge that when God @id ull this, He did it not be- cause Ho supposed or guessed or hoped that this would save man and supply all his need, but because He knew it would accomplish what He deslrod and that nothing else couid accomplish it. And, then, when we have fully reflected on this truth, let us mako it the real and the vital thing in our individual and our church life that God meant and means it to bo, MANY ATTENDED PLAUT AND CADDEN CONCERT.

They were the last witnesses in the case when both sides rested and Cor- poration Counsel William J. Brennan stated he would like to be heard on a motion to direct the verdict for the defendant. The jury was excused and Attorney Brennan argued the motion, claiming that the change of grade had sed no damage to the property and that the city was not lable for dam- ages.
