EPISCOPAL RECTOR AT Y. M. C. A, SERVICE. Rev. L, C. Sherburne Delivered Ad- dress on Service at Thayer Build- ing. Men and worien attended the Y. M. C. A. service at 5 p. m. Sundoy in the Thaver building. After selections by hn's orchesira and the singing of several popular hymns, Mr. Kiblin of- fered prayer. Rev. L. C. Sherburne, rector of St. James' Episcopal church, delivered an intensely interesting address on the subject of Service. The text used was Matt., 20th chapter and 28th verse, For the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minpister.” The speaker emphasized the fact that the whole life of Jesus was given to service for Mumanity. He healed the sick, cast out the devils, raised th dead and in many ways blessed the people whom he met, and finally gave his life on the cross for the salvation of the race. The ministering life of Jesus should inspire every Christian to give his life in service for humanity. There are so many church members who are indif- ferent to the call to service, and some are apparently selfish in their lives. In order to render the highest type of service one must first come In close touch with Jesvs Christ. Men of the world may rerder helpful service, but to be a real blessing to humanity we must draw constantly upon the pawer of the Man of Nazereth. Let us strive to help those who need our ministra- tions. Secretary Hill had ‘charge of the service. . BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MRS. ELLA CHAPEL. Uncaeville Woman Remembered by !

H.,, with whieh he is charged, ne refused to discuss the matter in any way. Twin Mountain is located a short distance from Keene, 'N. F., and the postoffice was hroken into and robbed on the night of July 6. last. Stamps to the valuie of $186.42 wera obtained and postofilce funds “fo- talling $143.79 in cash were also etolen. ‘When arrested, Bennett, who at that time gave the name of Frank Russell, had Wut $12 in his possession, which would indicate that ihe break at Twin Mountain was not the work of a single man. His package of stamps was also considerably short of the number stolen which is another fact that leads to the belief that he did not work alone, The {dentity of the prisoner was es- tabiished through photographs and his Bertillion measurements, which were broadcast by the postal authorities, which Tesulted in €apt. George Haven of the New Lordon police being noti- fied that Russell was none other than Thomas Bennett, an escaped convict from Camp T. W. Shands/& Co. at Green Cove, Fia. At the time he had served four years of a 15 years’ sen- tence. His escape was effected in 1911 and as Taf as {s known he has been at liberty since that time. After the United States authorities have finished with Bennett, that is, af- ter he has served the sentences which may be meted cut by the United States courts, he will be turned over to the authorities in Florida, to commence once more the sentence he failed to serve out. With his appearance in the United States court in this state, he will be removed to Concerd for arraignment on the original charge, and there his trial will take place, Postal investigators who have been probing the activities of Bennett for the past month_do not deny that other charges of robbery may be placed against his pame before he finally comes to trail. It is admitted that the investigation is by no means ended. Hit Peddler’s Wagon.
