THE CENTRAL BAPTIST Brief Addresses by Seven Who Attended State Sunday School Convention. £ Sunday evening at the Central Bap- tist church was devoted to an echo meeting of the State Sunday School convention held recently. Seven of the fifteen delegates to the convention from the Central Baptist church gave brief addresses. As an introduction to the seven ad- dresses Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D, the pastor, summed up the convention as follows: It was a great convention, he said. The great It had a great program. program was carried out with entire smoothness and with much effective- ness. The result was considerable en- thusiasm. There were sixteen impor- tant addresses before the main con- vention (not counting the institutes). Nine of these addresses were given by two people, namely, Miss Hatten of Boston, author and Sunday school expert, who gave four, and Dr. Dorchester, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in Bristol, who gave five. The subjects of Miss Slattery’s won- derfu] addresses were The Door of Op- portunity, Emerging From the Chry- salis, The Pivotal Point, The Call of the Church to the Youth of Our Day. The subjects of Dr. Dorchester’s in- spiring messages were The School -of Christ, The Meaning of Discipleship, Horticulture and Heart Cultures, In- terior Decorations, The High Cost of Making Better Tomorrows. The other seven important addresses given in the main convention were as The Psychology of Teaching, Progress in Religious Schooling, follows: W. I Woodin; Education Through the Sunday School, Dr. J. R. Brown, Bridgeport; Tabooing the Conventional, Rev. E. C. Hoag, M. Floral Pk, L. L; Training for Ser- ice, Prof, Bdgar S. Brightman, Wes- , Middletown, ‘Conn.; Nations to Life, Prof. J. C. Archer, Yale; The Church’s Educa- tional Work, Prof. Luther A. Weigle, Yale; Light and Power, President Darling. In one way or another forty-seven people took part on the program, in- cluding minor assignments and insti- tutes. Simultaneously each day either at 11 o’clock or at 1.30 p. m, eleven different departmenta] institutes were held in as many different places. One afternoon was given ‘Over % business and the vice president of the association—c#r superintenderf?, James L. Case, presided.

Slocum fol- lowed with a general survey of the convention and a definiie report of Miss Slattery’s address on The Door of Opportunity. In part Mrs. Slocum spoke as foll- ows: What is a convention? According to the Standard Dictionary a conven- tion is a representative body elected by the people to meet at some speci- fied time and place for some specified its existence ends with purpose and the accomplishment of that purpose. The State Sunday School convention was just such a body elected by the different evangelical Sunday Schools throughout the state of Connecticut, meeting at Hartford Nov. 1, ¢ and 3. Tts specified purpose was the discus- sion of ways and means to make our o date in their methods of meeting the problems of our boys and girls so as to help them to be useful and helpful Christians—as well as how to get and train teachers that will be adequately Sunday schools better—more up prepared to meet these problems. She then went on ao speak of the convention programme and concluded by speaking of the adddess on the Door of Opportunity by Miss Slattery. J.

At Trinity Methodist Episcopal church the observance was held at the evening service when Rev. ‘W. E. Lamphear of Hartford delivered ll stirring address on A Saloonless Na- tion. A few years ago we would have been called dreamers if we had talk- ed of a saloonless nation, said the speaker. But the handwriting is on the wall and the liquor dealers know that the traffic is going to end, Ne con- tinued. Two years ago we nad nine dry states. A week ago we had nine- teen dry states. To all intents and purposés we now have 25 dry state. We have over 85 per cent. of our terri- tory under prohibition. In the state as the result of the lost no-license vote we have 91 dry towns and 77 wet towns. During the last no-license vote we have 91 dry towns and 77 wet towns. During the last session of the general assembly we had 47 pieces of literature put through while the Hquor interests have secured only six pleces of literature. A saloonless nation slogan. There are tremendous forces behind this movement Rev. Mr. Lam phear went on to say that according to reports he had studied he had com- puted the average cost of the liquor traffic in the country to every man, man and child, $57. We have a reso- lution in Congress, he said, whereby ee anso taheNttffith oehhrnow is the t the liquor traffic will be abolished in the country. Two years ago the dele- gations from thirty of our state voted in favor of it. ‘It did not pass be- cause m_two-third vote Is necessary. It is still before .congress and will come up at the session next month ‘when it is hoped it will pass. Then it will be sent to each state for ratifica- tion. If three-fourths of the states ratify it it will stand. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Lamphear made an earnest appeal for contributions towards the good work. HOW THAEY HELP OTHERS. Duties Which Pioneer Perform. in 1920 is our Civic Scouts It has come ‘to ke generally under- stood that certain civic duties fall to the lot of Boy Scouts, and ecouts in cities have been performing ihem eagerly and well. In the country dis- tricts and rural towns there are cer- tain civic duties which will jnaturally fall to the lot of the pioneer®scout. He will be expected to report im- mediately any washout in the road, and if necessary do his part toward filling it in. If the break is dangerous and there is a chance that it wil remain unrepaired Gver night, it wiil be the duty of the scout to see that some ob- struction is built in front of the gap and that a light is placed to warn any who may pass in the night. A burned bridge or a hole in the planking that might break the leg of a horse is always a matter of special n- portance to poneer scouts, and they will find a way to get it repaired, It is the duty of a scout to know the proper authority to notify. in sase of damaged roads or bridges or in case of fire and know also just how to spread a nalarm that wiil bring assistance. Pioneer scouts know of the tremen- dous wagte caused every year by for- est fires and as the welfare of most communities is largely dependent upon a cheap and plentiful supply of wood for fuel and lumber, they do everything in their power to prevent such waste. During particularly dry periods they post notces warning people to be care- ful with matches or camp fires, and they learn how to fight fires while they are small or call help if they have grown large. Watchful, quick-acting scouts from the cities have saved thou- sands of dollars’ worth of property from flames; pioneer scouts will save even more. Sanitation is a problem which can- not be neglected by the pioneer scout who is doing his duty. Streams must be protected so that the water supply of men or animals will not become in- fected. Dead anmals must be buried, not simply dragged to one side. Insect pests do incalculable damage in this country. They are a destructive army against which scouts are forever fighting. A pioneer may not at first know the best methods of destroying this enemy, but e courtry scout who is not in touch with the department of agriculture is neglecting one of the best friends he can possibly have. The department wll suggest methods of 129 Main St., Norwich, Conn. FRESH BATTERIES, EDISON-BULBS LIGHT .UP- YOUR HOME WITH EDISON MAZDA LAMPS. FRANCE TO MAKE EFFORT TO ATTRACT TOURIST TRADE Hitherto No Speci: Were Held Out to Vi Paris, Nov. 12.—France will make her first organized effort to attract tourist trade when peace is restored. The war made French people ap- preciate fully for the first time how many persons of means had been in the habit of hurrying to Paris from all corners of the world. No effort was made to induce them to come, be- cause the magnetic attraction of the town alone sufficed; but since they have awakened to see many other things, the French have iooked into this question of touring and bhave found that some 300,000 Russians were in the habit of rusticating in Germany and Austria where they left each year the equivalent of more than a billion francs. Eight hundred thousand per- sons_visited the 1130 seaside resorts of the Baltic and the North Sea in 1913. French business men, and particu- larly hotel men, are inclined to think that French resorts and French artis- tic centers present for greater at- tractions than the Baltic or the North Sea, and have finally consented to open their minds to the question as to whether this great number of people did not find more modern comfort and better hygiene in German hotels. No one knows how much money Americans spend in France each year, but the estimates, varying from 200 million dollars to 250 million dollars a year, are not considered to be ex- cessive. Financlers appreciate how this annual expenditure, aided by a part of the billion francs that the Russians spent in Austria and Ger- many each year, will help the rate of exchange; they are prodding French hotels, resort managers, and railroads, ot prepare in a proper way for Vi itors, then do the necessary advertis- ing. Railroads are called upon to pro- vide more comfortable cars and give better train service, and hotel men are being told they must make it easier for visitors to take a comfortable bath. The Touring Club of France is now taking up the question from the trav- eller's point of view, and is also con- vincing itself with the necessary re- newal practilally of many of the principal houses now sheltering wounded soldiers, when they are restored to their original destina- tion. Outside of the kitthen, the hotel employes before the wir were mostly German and Swiss. The hotel syndi- cate has resoved that the Germans shall not be taken back. Other em- ployes must be trained to take their places and the hotel committee of the Touring Club is arranging to educate and train them In the hotel sections created by the government in the schools of commerce and industry. The courss are to begin at once, providing general education to those applicants who need it, then taking up courses in hotel work. Inducements ors.
