THE CITY OF NORWICH GAS & ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT 321 Main Street, Alice Building ground, FEED NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1916 MISSION OPENS AT ST. PATRICK'S Three Fathers of the Order of St. Francis Will Preach for Two Weeks—Direct From Great Jubilee Celebration in New York. Three priests from the Franciscan monastery in New York, Father Matthew, Father Seraphim and Fath- er Chrysostom. began a mission in St. Patrick’s church at the high mass on Sunday. The mission is to continue for two weeks, this week’s exercises ‘being for all the women of the par- ish, next week being devoted to the men. All the exercises are public; and except that during the present week the evening services will be es- pecially for women and during next weak the evening exercises for men, there is no other restriction and parishioners and all others may attend any of the services. “Now is the acceptabdle time; now is the day of salvation,” was the key- note of all the services Sunday, which began with the opening sermon at the high mass by Rev. Father Saraphim. It is the first time that Franciscan Fathers have conducted a mission in the Norwich parish, so tnere wag spe- cial interest in hearing the preachers from the celebrated community in New York who last week celebrated the di- amond jubilee of the order in that city. Priests who are sent out to preach during missions are selected for their eminent fitnee; leaned men, linguists, since they must be able to converse with people representing many na- tions, priests of experience and won- derful judgment, who have the elo- quence to reach the careless and indif- ferent; vet must at the same time have the gentle persusion which their instruction of little children also de- mands. . What a Mission Is. The text chosen by Father Sera- phim for the opening sermon was Luke Xii-49: I am come to send fire on the earth: but what will I, if it be Kkin- dled? A mission, the preacher said, was a special visit of God to a parish. While God is always with us, if we do not put obstacles in His way, at the time of a mission He seems to walk the very pathways of a parish, to come with special graces, knocking at the door of every home and at the heart of every Christian. Seripture records a number of im- quartet, Miss Ruth L. Potter, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Allen and Dr. C. H. Lamb. There were choice floral offerings: illow, from his parents and _sister; cross, Mrs. E. R.

The bea ers were members of the Sunday school class to which the young man belonged: Laurens Hamilton, Marcus Grady, Marshall Richardson and Clar- ence Potter. Relatives present from out of town were George Kinney of Waterford, William Curtis and children and and Mrs. Charles Lamphere of Director Charles A. Gager, | ., was in charge of the arrangements Social Club’s Business Meeting. The quarterly business meeting of the Scotland Road Social club was held Friday evening in the hall. In the absence of the president, the vice president, Mrs. W. B. Wilcox, called the meeting to order. Reports were given, it was voted to make further improvements on the hall, and three new members were admitted. Men’s League to Meet. The first meeting of the season of the Norwich Town Men’s League is to be held this (Monday) evening in the First Congregational chapel. Attor- ney Charles L. Stewart will give an address, the subject being, The Rise and Fall of the Pequots Tersely Told. James Shahan of Waterbury was at his home uptown for over Sunday. M. McNamara of Hartford Miss N. came Saturday to visit friends up- town. Rufus Stanton from Hartford was at his home on West Town street for over Sunday. Miss Ruth Lappee of Colchester is visiting Mrs. Adelbert Rudd, of West Town street. Leroy Bentley of Pomfret is visiting his aunt, Mrs. Irving Bushnell of the portant visitations of God to man—to the Garden of Paradise, when an angry God came to rebuke disobedient Adam and Eve; to punish sinful man- kind. in the Deluge, to destroy five popiflous and wicked cities, notable among which were Sodom and Gomorrah, then, in the surest way to win human love, at Christmas, when His love took the form of a little Child. | Coming again at the tme of a mis- sion, He is not the God of vengeance or of anger, but the God of mercy and compassion. calling upon sinners to re- turn to Him with confidence and in penitence. Three Classes to Deal With. Christ, when He came upon earth, had to deal with three classes — the soldier, the man of affairs, and the housewife, like another Martha, busy with many things. To each he brought the admonition, to forsake all else and to make sure or salvation. The missionaries, Christ'’s humble followers, bring the same message. They have to labor wrth three class- es—the good, the. indifferent, the out- right sinner. Now, the good need a mission quite as much as do those of the other two classes; “Let him who thinks he stand, take heed lest he fall” are the words of Holy Writ. There are many good souls in every parish, but’ they need to continually strive to become better by modeling themselves and their conduct on the Sacred Heart. Problem of the Indifferent. The indifferent are the real prob- lem of a missionary. These are the self-confident, compiacent, conceited mortals of the style of the Pharisee; like unto those rebuked by Christ through the Apocalypse, forgetting their charity, lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. The preacher exhorted such to arise from their tepidity in God's service; to realize their danger of lap- sing into actual sin, to put aside their spiritual sloth. The Inevitable Black Sheep. In eyery parish, as in everv fam- there is the inevitable bla 4emmecep, nd it is in the effort to lead such to e their danger that the mission ned. It requires no prophet, the preacher said, to predict that many present at the opening of these special reises will not_live to attend an- other mission. Scores of those whp heard the call of God three or four vears ago. during the last mission, are now dead. Hence the danger of ig- noring this particular and urgent sum- mons to return to God’s friendship. How tc Make a Mission Worthily. A mission should be made, Father Seraphim reminded his hearers, in a forgiving spirit; now is the time to make up all disagreements, to put de all hatred, to become at peace with all enemies. It should be made with self-denial. It is going to require sacrifice and inconvenience to attend the various extra services and exercises; let this be don cerfully, for God's sake, and in the spirit of penitence. sion season is the time for with all bickerings and bleness at home; the accept- able time to settle all little misunder- standi dren, It ¥ between parents and chil- between other relatives. e when each member supplement the work onaries are trying to church by a or on to those un- fortunate enough to have strayed from ce, eminding such that the e come to teach them to return to peace with God, to His friendship A Time For Prayer. it is a time for prayer for repentance and perserver- for the success of Christ's king. dom on earth; for petitions to the Throne of Grace that the words of the ongries may reach those who are ng on, deaf to God's call to seek the one thing needful. Saint Francis The Founder. Father Seraphim spoke of the aims order, giving a brief but inter- sketch of its founding, about . by Saint, Francis, an Italian youth, son of a wealthy silk merchant. This handsome, pleasure-loving young » of the world became a_soldier, rving in the wars under the ban- ners of the dukes of his time Then suddenly there sounded in his ears the strange call of God to service Henceforth He Bore the Banner of the Redeemer. Throwing aside the rich robes of urtier and man God’s ser m: donn the humble brown habit worn for s6 long by his followers. Tving a rope about his waist, he went forth preach- ing without fear Christ crucified and calling upon men to forsake worldly pursuits and have a thought for their Thn\Nands heeded his insistent call; so that, at an era in the world's his- tory when Mammon was the idol, when the rich were oppressing the poor, the work of Saint Francis had such mark- ed effect that historians and socio- logists go back to him now, as one of the great reformers of the world, al- though his humility and charity and love for mankind were such that he welcomed the leper, pressing him to his breast. Followers Continue His Work. It is the work of the meek and mild Saint Francis that the missionaries of his order are here to continue; to preach to all who wil not close their ears to the message of Christ; the re- mainder, 0 gain the whole world, vet lose his own soul?” Father Matthew Preaches. The mission services were continued Scotland road. Mrs. Agnes Waterman and _son George Waterman -have moved from Clinton avenue to West Town street. Mrs. Sheldon of Fast Thompson ar- rived Saturday to visit her daugh- ter, Mrs. Edmund Harbeck of West Town street. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney P. Smith and daughter Eleanor of Washington street have returned, after spending a few days in New York. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Greene of West Town street were in Webster Mass., for the week-end. Mrs. Greene will remain for a week's visit. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Palmer and children from Fort oint visited Mrs. Palmer’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brown of West Town street last week. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Tubbs and son and Mrs. Tubbs’ sisters, Misses Inez and Irene Woodworth of Hartford, mo- tored here to spend Sunday with rel- atives uptown. Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchinson of Mer- iden who is several months in Franklin, visited her sister, Mrs. John Tifft of West Town _street dur- ing the week-end. in the evening, when Rev. Father Matthew preached an eloquent sermon on “The Worth of A Soul.” During this week, there will be daily services, mass and short sermon, or instruction, at 5.30 and 9 each morning. In the evening at 7.30 thera will be exercises and sermon for wo- men only. Children’s Mission. Today (Monday), Tuesday, and Wednesday, at 4 o'clocs, there will be misslon services for the children, all being expected to attend. The chil- dren are to be present each morning also when possible at their mission mass at 8. The exercises for the men's week will be practically the same, except that the first mass each morning will be at 5 o'clock, to accommodate those who can reach their work more easily by attending services at that hour. The Franciscans wear the same hab- it as their founder, the white girdle about their walists, the crucifix on their breast. A large mission cross has been erected at the gospel side of St. Pat- rick’s high altar, to remain during the two weeks’ services, Meriden—For the relief of Jewish sufferers in Furove, $500 was pledged at the conclusion of services at the Jewish temple during the hoHdays. “What doth it profit a man |- These pretty Trimmed Hats are SPECIAL HAT so popular. ing of money. NOANK KITCHEN BAR TRADE MUST CEASE. No Good Reason Why Dives Should Be Allowed to Continue. An organization is to be made soon to rid the village of Noank of its sev- eral kitchen bar rooms. In at least four places and almost certainly in one or two others there is no doubt whatever of the selling of liquors. The town is no-license and the delivery of beer from New London has been made the subject of attention rrom the state police of late and in_some instances stopped or at least hindered in the delivery. There appears no good rea- son why these kitchen dives should be allowed to continue. In some instan- ces complaints have been made to landlords of noise at night when vil- lage people like to go to slumber early and it is probable that some trouble will be made in certain sections of Noank unless in change is made. The selling is, so far as known, con- fined to the Italian restdents and, while they are in some cases quiet and unobjectionable, in other ways it is not pleasant to have the business car- ried on.

Proposal to Establish Office of Firs Marshal at a Salary of $1,000. Alderman Maurice E. Sherman, chair- man of the fire committee of the New London court of common council, will introduce at the spectal meeting on Monday evening an_ordinance which, following months of careful investi- gation on his part, he is convinced will result in obtaining for New Lon- don a standard of fire prevention on a par with the high grade of protec- tion which is now furnished after the blaze originates. He proposes to establish the office of fire marshal at a suggested salary of $1,000, the place to be filled by First Assistant Chief Charles H. Rose, who has given 40 years of faithful service to the city at a trifling renumera- tion. The duties of the new official will in- clude inspection of all building with- in the fire limits at regular intervals, hay four times a year. Cellars, stair- ways, courts and areas will be visited and the marshal will be empowered to enforce the removal of all rubbish. His inspection will likewise give the department a working idea of numer- ous premises which it does not now possess. The marshal, like the chief, will devote his entire time to the posi- tion. TWO RUNAWAY BOYS HEADING FOR HOME. Wero Walking From Bridgeport to Malden, Mass., After Vainly Search- ing For Work Robert McArthur and Richard Mishke, 16-year old Malden, Mass, lads, were locked up at police head- quarters in New London, Friday night as runaway boys. The boys had walk. ed to New London from Bridgeport and were footweary and hungry when they reached State street. According to the boys they ran away from their homes in Malden early in the week. They boarded a train for Bridgeport where they had hoped to obtain work in one of the arms fac- tories. Their quest was in vain, how- ever, and after a few days spent in the Park city, during which time they spent all their cash, they decided upon hiking back in the direction of Bean town. Probation Officer Mansfield took charge of tha boys Saturday morning, and they returned home on an after- noon train. Dr. Ussher Spoke. At a meeting of representatives the four churches of the borough Stonington, held Friday evening at the Pasonage by the Sea. Dr. C. D.
