Dr. Slocum s: “We had a mlt“xeuzh&lll Journey | point Rev. out here, marred only by a washout in Indiana, which compelled us to ological ferent denominations who -combined make a detour and delayed us about | their forces. g He told of a certain gentleman whom | had six hours.

Wright of Philadels phia, formerly of this city, is one of the secretaries of the Northern Bap- tist convention. The report of the board of educa~ tion is of interest to Norwich Bap- tists, The educational p of the convention is part of the five-year general program, consideration of which is one of the main features of the convention. One item looks to “1,000 Baptist students in theological seminaries.” “We have discovered” the report states, in this regard, “that there are 545 Baptist students from our North- ern churches in all the theological seminaries of all denominations. This means about 180 going into the min- istry from these schools each year. Is it possible that we can supply the demand of 10,600 churches on this number of recruits? We have set a standard of 5000 missionaries th the five-year program. This means a per- manent addition of 1,500. Perhaps a third of them will be Women mission- arles and missionaries’ wives. If, therefore, 2ll our sraduates became missionaries, we could not reach the 5,000. And this would make no pro- vision for any supply. for our minis- try at home.” ASSESSED SPECIAL DAMAGES AGAINST PRESTON PROPERTY.

Because there is not much of a_job in it. Our American young men do not want to sit around doing nothing. Suppose we are in need of a million men because there was real to do. How long would it take to raise this million men? It would not take long. Why. because there is something to do for the coun- try. Is it possible that this is the rea. son why we do not recruit in ~the church—because there is not real tasks for men to-do?

Recause there are working forces cutside the church which offset. Mr. Guild spoke of a survey and igation of the schools of a cer- in city where it was found that a Tock and a half away from the high sool a red light district prevailed, and the city officials were notified. 1 Social Evil Spreading. 1 was in Lexington, Ky. only last week, and that city has had all the by- products of evil. A few men have banded themselves ‘fogether and will not give up until the evil is eliminated. The greatest progress along the lines of social evil are being made today, said Rev. Mr. Guild. It has been found out by study that the spreading of evil has made it worse and that tre- mendous fights have been won along the lines in the city of Atlanta, where tkey have a board of strategy. Rey. Mr. Guild told of the tremendous power of the press and of the impor- tance of the press in community and church work. In Indianapolis a group of men went to the owner of one of the leading dailies for the purpose of buy- ing space in order to send the mes- sage of the church to more people. The owner readily made them a proposition of devoting an entire page every Sat- day, providing they edited it. But #e page he offered was one.of minor importance. The committee wanted The Liquor Question. g:r mu L;le church :éd infl W ? t the men gather igures. Keep tabs on the men who frequent salons, so you can find out the cost and be armed with facts. . S g of the church and govern- ment,"the speaker said we are not go- ing to haye the union of the state and dsurch. We will keep the church and state separated, but you cannot sep- arate religion and government. See that every man in your church is registered and see that he votes. 1 think one who does not vote should be deprived in some manner of citizen- ship. Know the facts about the can- didates for election. I do not care whether the Roman Catholic or the Protestant church dictates the election, but the effect is #hat you will have a ‘civic organization which does its duty. Spiritualize Playground Movement. Speaking of the playground problem, he said some of our boys go wron and you should spiritualize the play- ground movement. In an address be- fore ministers, priests and rabbis re- cently Theodore Roosevelt said: Give the boy the play that he wants and not the play that the deacons in the church want. Another phase Rev. Mr. Guild spoke about was evangelism. He spoke brief- Iy of Billy Sunday_and of cities who bave engaged him'to speak and have laid asids their religious duties waiting for him. He laid emphasis on individual evan- gelism. He also cited instances of cities where large conversions had been made through the local clergy and not some outsider. It is necessary for the layman to get behind the clergy. Get behind your preachers right here in Norwich. Start out to save Norwich and clean it up. Following the address, Rev. Mr. Guild answered many questions and explained certain phases of the work. Rev. F. W. Coleman, pastor of Trin- ity Methodist Episcopal church, ex- tended an invitation to the men pres- ent to attenda meeting of the church federation which will be held next Mon- @ay evening at his church, when pos- sibly a strong centralized group will be formed to work with the church federation, representing more of ike church laymen. Tn the dining room all enjoyed sand- ‘wiches, doughnuts and chgeolate. TO REPLACE $18,000 B IN SINKING FUND. Income Last Year Was Not Large Enough to Allow Gas and Electrical Profit to Follow Usuat Course: At the close of the reading of the estimates for the coming vear at the adjougned meeting of the Court of Common Council on Monday evening Councilman Telley E. Babcock in- quired into the matter of the item of $18,000 which should have been appro- priated from the treasury by the last meeting and laid aside for the sinking fund of the gas and-electric department. The ‘statutes provide for the laying aside of the cash profit of that department for the sinking fund. Last year the income was not large enough to provide for this and it was used for the ordinary expenses of the city. It was explained to Councilman Babcock that the $18,000 in the esti- mates is for the purpose of replac- ing the amount that was not put in- to the gas and electrical sinking fund last year.
