Send them something better than ammunition to kill, send them the gos- pel, said Rev. Willlam Fetler, the great leader of the Russian Baptists, in a stirring address on the Crisis of Russia at the Sunday evening service at the Central Baptist church. Rev. Mr. Fetler supplies yesterday for Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., who preached in his old pulpit in Brooklyn, N. Y. Rev. Mr. Fetler graphically told of his struggle to spread the gospel among his people, of his arrest by the Rus- sian officials, of his near exile into Siberia, of his unexpected delivery from prison, which he says was brought about through the prayers of his peéople, and of how he w allowed to come over to this country in lieu of a life of hardship in the barren plains of Sibera. All this happened just two years ago. I have never ceaséd to be- lieve that the gospel is the greatest power in the world, said the speaker. He went on to speak of the true Chris- tian church. Show me a jellyfish backbone in a church and I will show you where a true Christian church has ceased to exist. He spoke of the trans- figuration of -a man’s life after Christ enters. In Rt few men are educated in the Christian ministry, said Rev. Mr. Fetler. The people are but peasants with a few acre: of land. They open their Bibles, not freely as you do, but behind closed doors and there is a man just outside the door watching for the police so that he may warn those within. They are uneducated, hardly able to read the word of God. ¥ want others saved, too. They ever drag the people from the streets into the room where their services are held. It was while in the midst of his work as a leader of a small Barfist congregation that Rev. Mr. Fetler was ested and ordered exiled to Siberia. He made ready for his journey to that land from which he would never re- turn, so it scemed to him then. Inside the nrison office they took -everything he owned, even his watch, allowing y a small bundle of not even allowed to nor bid her and his months-old child good bye. He then led to a cell wherein were four criminals. Meanwhijle my church was praying, said Rev. Mr. Fetler. Few can b ize the attachment of a Russian min- ister to his people nor of his people to him. It wasn't that they paid me to preach; they were as my children. God heard their prayers and God an- swered. He always does answer in time of greatest need. I had scarcely put down my bundle when the same man that took me to a cell came back and said: “You are wanted.” I asked “What for " The inspector calls.” And so I went to the prison office where the inspector said, “I have just received a telephone mes- sage from a high official; you must be freed; you may go home for three days, but, you are to sign this paper | promising that after three days you | will go to Siberia at your own ex- | pense.” = Well, that was better than going | straight to Siberia. I went back to| my cell, took my bundle and made my way home. On the road I met several of my people walking with bowed heads. They were astounded to see me. It was as if a ghost had come.” Rev. Mr. Fetler said that at the end of the three days he did not leave for Siberia for a petition had been sent to the government and he was allow- ed to come to this country instead. He said he learned that a plot had been made to assassinate him if he had not left Russia. Russia is on the brink of a great crisis, said Rev. Mr. Fetl Never have the Russian people been seeking the Truth as today. 1 wish American Christians would come to our help, as never before. Send them something better than ammunition to kill, send them the gospel. What is the most important factor in the present crisis. There are two millions of Russian prisoners in German camps. They are made up of men from all parts of Russia. If we can reach these pri oners we can reach thousands of vil- lages in Russia for these men are go- ing home some time and they will take the gospel with them. That is going to transform the whole of Russia if American Christians will come to our assistance. Rev. Mr. Fetler spoke on The Cri of Christianity at the morning ser- vice.

There were 2,000 votes there a few days ago. it will be remembered. When Chairman J. Henry Rorabac] republican state central had a conference with Governor Hol- comb a few months ago on desir- ability of having the vote of the Con- necticut soldiers on the Mexican bor- der taken, he was not unmindful of | the nieeds of the republican party.

When Governor Holcomb decided to cail a 1 session of the general @ssembly for the purpose of making provision to take the vote of the sol- it was thought that about 2,000 would be polled on the border.

One of the smallest family of pup- pies that one would wish to see were born last week at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Roughsedge at the Golden Spur. Valentine, their dainty little black Pomeranian dog, gave birth to four tiny black puppies, two males and two females, that, when they were two days old, only weigied two ounces each, the four exactly_one- 1if a pound. It seems afmost impos- sible that puppies so smail could live but they are all well and thriving wonderfully. The puppies and their mother are from valuable prize winning stock and Mrs. Roughsedge has taken many prizes with her Pomeranians at the principal shows of the country. These four black puppies that are so small will. without a doubt, find their wa: to the dog shows in the future. New Voters for Stonington.

The board will hold an all-day sesslon at the court room in Pawcatuck next Fridey when, it is expected, there will probably be as many more new voters made. Noank Water Supply.
