There was spirited singing of hymn, We Rear Not a Temple, by the audience, after which prayer was offered by the Rev. W, D. Woodward of Quarryville, R. I, ten years ago pastor of this First Methodist church. _Rev. Mr.| Coleman brought words of greeting, I look upon these improvements as a distinct achievement on Rev. Mr. Phreaner’s part, and a credit to the people. He, by great faith started the project, and the impossible has been done, the money has come in, the improvements have been made. I trust that this will be a new era in the history of the church, Rev. J. O. Barrows being called on said, I am not the first one who has appreciated the beauty and conveni- ence of this renovated church. We are glad this church is here, and that the man in here who does things. We are all one in the Lord Christ, one on the work we are trying to do _all bound for the same blessed Home. Rev. W. D. Woodward said, 1 am giad to lock you in the face and this new church in the face. It doesn’t look as it did a dozen years ago. Instead of our greeting you it seems to me that these things greet us; floor, car- pet, seats, newly decorated walls, elec- tric lights, ceiling, all these improve- ments were needed. And outside, too, roof and paint, make all complete. How we miss our good Brother Dodge, how we hope he sees us this evening here in the good old church. In closing he gave reminiscences, the story of the purchase of the then new organ, and read an original poem. Rev. C. H.

I am glad to be here, he said, am glad to see rogress in all Christian churches and especially in a Metho- dist church. Your pastor is in the right on all questions, especially that of a saloonless nation in 1920. I con- gratulate you most heartily in what has been done. ~ The last to bring words of greeting was Rev. E. H. Smith of Ing-Hok, China. His boy- hood days were spent near this old church, ever interested in it it was his pleasure to witness this fresh be- ginning and bid it God-speed.

A special meeting of the court of common counail was held on Wednes- day evening in the council chamber when Mayor Allyn L. Brown report- ed on the investigation hearing. which he held relative to the overhead signs and the public works committee re- ported on_the Mechanic Street sewer end the Thames Street improvements. A resolutign was presented that the needed land ‘in developing and im- proving Thames street be secured, either by negotiations or by condemnation proceedings. The meeting was called to order at 830 o'clock by Mayor Brown and on the roll call it was found that Coun- cilmen Babcock, Worth, Vaughn, Les- ter dnd Alderman Allen were absent. Mayor Brown opened the meeting by explaining to the council the reason for calling a special meeting and spoke relative to the hearing on overhead hanging signs and he spoke as fol- lows: Gentlemen of the Court of Common Counell: As a result of further investigation and the additional information obtain- ed at a public hearing held here in the council chamber on the evening of De- cember 12th, it has seemed wise and fair to modify the method of enforcing the ordinance against - overhanging signs as outlined at the last meeting. There are a number of illuminated signs _ which, aithough maintained without 2 permit and so contrary to the ordinance, are of substantial value, securely attached and of attractive ap. pearance. While every overhanging sign to which reference was made is an en- croachment upon the highway, where the benefit to the public can be said to outweigh the detriment, it seems in the line of progress to aliow the sign to remain. It is upon this basis that the street commissioner will issue per- mits to allow the signs above mention- ed to continue as they are upon cer- tain conditions. The ordinance leaves the matter of issuing such a permit or license in the street commissioner’s discretion, and after careful consideration _he has reached the conclusion, as I under- stand it, that while illuminated signs which represents a substantial expense which are properly wir- ed and are fully illuminated, secure- ly fastened to the building and at a sufficient height above the sidewalk, not likely to interfere with the op- erations of the fire department, of good appearance, kept lichted upon every week night, and not objectiona- ble for other reasonable cause will be allowed, all other overhanging signs will be removed. No overhanging signs of any kind whatever will be permitted to be erected hereafter without a written permit from the street commission- er. A report of the public works com- mittee regarding the laying of a sewer on Mechanic street was presented and it was brought out that the passage of the resolution in laying the sewer would benefit on the north side of the street, the Norwich Construction Co., and John H. Perkins, and on the south side, Ruth N. Burdick and Calvin A. Swan. SPECIAL COMMON COUNCIL MEETING which provided that Mayor Brown and the public works consists of Alderman Bailey, Council- men Lester and Arnold, be appointed a committee to hear those persons men- tioned and others who may be inter- ested in the laying of the Mechanic Street sewer in reference to the as- sessment, benefits, layout and con- struction of the proposed Sewer. resolution was passed that notice be given to those interested in the pre- posed assessments to appear before the committee on o'clock in the council chamber. Alderman Bailey presented a report on the matter of the Thames Street im- provement and in this report it was stated that Thames street *should be widened by changing the westerly and easterly sides of the street as pro- vided in the resolution presented. And the land which is needed for the im- proving and widening of the ntreet be secured either by negotiations or con- demnation proceedings. who will be affected by the improve- ments follow: Huling, Jones, Nettie Kinne, Loutrel Valcom, Casey R.

THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, THAT | DON" Rev. A. W. Burdon, Pastor of Fed- erated Church Spoke at Y. M. C. A. Meeting. The regular Wednesday noon shop- talk was held at the American Ther- mos Bottle Co., under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Rev. A. W. Burdén, pastor of the Federated church. ad- dressed the men on the subject, Things That You Know, That I Don't, and said in_ part: The fact that in our hearts we may have a feeling of envy is illustrated in the story of Joseph and his broth- ers. Joseph came, filled with enthu- siasm and life. His brothers saw his glistening garments in the distance and because of envy decided to do him harm. The fact that they were envious led to a lie which twenty years afterward they had to meet in Egypt. Envy is death to our best en- deavors; it keeps us from being origi- nal. We are so busy envying someone else we do not take time to be initia- tive. Ahab saw Naboth's vineyard and coveted his possession of it, then winked at Jezebel’s wicked murder and in after vears paid the price. I don't know that you have this envy in your hearts, your neighbor does not know, you and you only have the key to un: lock the things in your minds and hearts. Don’t envy the other fellow bee too big to bother with him and be so busy in getting there that you will be original and not a copy.
