Broadway Church—Calls SERVICE FOR VETERANS Edward S. Worcester Addressed Members of Sedgwick Post, Sons of Veterans and Woman’s Relief Corps at to Defend the Honor of the United States. America is not the whim of strang- ers, a tyranny imposed upon us; it is What it ia by our free and united will, said Rev. Edward S. Worcester in sermon at the Memorial service e memiers of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, the Sons of Veterans and Sedg- wick Women’s Relief corps. No. 16, at Broadw gy Congregational church on Sunday morning. 'There was a representation of the members of all three organizalions at the service. Freedom and Unity was the topic of Rev. Mr. Worcester's sermon which follows in part: “The moral value of sacrifice is de- termined entirely by the object of it.” The mere negation of selfishness is not the height of virtue. What is the sacri- fice for When Jesus said of the pros- pective disciple, “Let him deny him- self.” He said also, “Let him come and follow me.” It is what is affirmed that gives point to what is denied. The man who has a larger thing to love and live for forgets himself to some purpose. The great war which we have watch- ed and are now to enter has called men to pain and sacrifice in unparal- lelled measure. Gloriously have they answered—but on_opposite sides. Un- less their self-sacrifice is an end in itself and justified regardless of any object, men must needs search among the aims and motives of natur- al life for that which may give their devotion point and validity. What is this passion of patriotism? ‘Whence its precedencq over other normal in- terests? What is the Christian pa- triot’s duty, loyally subject”to a state on earth and to an eternal King of kings? Questions like these have crowded on men's conscience. Thes memorial days, that summon up the past, and_your presence, comrades of a fast diminishing army, shall help us to answer. Loyalty Not A Surface Attitude. For past and present conspire to ‘male it clear that lovalty of wordy elo- quence. We owe our country not mere praise, but service. ‘There is something for patriots to do, and the doing of it may be very costly, a devo-: tion of living energy in life, and some- times a devotion nunto death. Yet even 3f costly sacrifice we must ask what it is for. Not what happens to us but why is the finally significant item. A_ worthy end matched by a ‘worthy gift of self to serve it—that is the heart of patriotic, or any other, greatness. ‘What is one's country, then, that he is moveq to die for it? Plainly not S0 many square mil of territory, so much iron and timber, so many tons of soil. The Englishman's pulse beats quick at the name of England, not alone for the cliffs and beaches, the vales and hills, of an island amid the seas, but for an indefinable spiritual something he has known there, more real than all. “Vive la France” implies in its terms not a geographical en- s tity, but a living soul. “Deutschland ueber alles” means nothing taken lit- erally. The “land” a man lives and dies for is not land but an idea. What Is The Nation? From the confusion of places and races, customs and faiths, which maps and text books show, the nation emerg- es to be the object of that particular loyalty which we call patriotism. And what is the nation? The natural group of which we are a part?—Ask Po- land and Alsace! The governing di- recting and defending us?>—Ask the Armenfans amid their murderers! Is “the State” an abstract some- thing which 1s above all mor- alit; which exists only for it- self, for whose sake children must be begotten and men must labor and die? Is it the governing organiza- tion that we must maintain at every hazard, even if it chance to be in the control of self-seeking grafters, a ruling cause or a_ downright despot? Or i2 the nation the sum of the peo- ple in it, just folks like you aad me, united by common concerns, a com- mon tradition, a_common Hhope. to Which we owe such a duty as eves man_owes his kin and.his neighbors? Or, finally, is that common spirit with- in the folks the essential natfon, the half unrealized ideal of their fraterni- ty and striving the true American, Britain, Russian, France? It is partly over that question that students at the Pre-Medical college at Valparaiso, Ind., are at their respective homes here for the summer vacation.

Much excitement was caused Satur- day afternoon by the finding of the little girl who has been missing from bhalf the world is at war today. And it is futile to talk of the splendor of national loyalty ‘without knowing ‘which conception of the nation ani- mates it. It is one thing to die for a Nero, another to die for an Arthur or a Galahad. The true patriot's loy- alty an -intensely spiritual thing, and the nation which is its true ob- Ject ls the epirit, invisible, but the ul- te reality, dwelling within the frontiers, dorming the Institutions, binding the group in one. Where that is lacking there is no real nation or country & man to love. America An ldeal. America? Oh, my countrymen, America is an ideal, a hope, a pas- sion! Men fought and toiled and agon- ized to create it. Men fought and died, and women wept but cheered them on, to save it. And men will do it again and yet again till the hope comes true. America is not the whim of strangers, a tyranny im- poved upon us it is what it s by our free and united will born, in each generation, of our souls, as it was born at first of the souls of our fathers, and inspiring us in turn with £ new aense of what can and ought to Here is an object worthy of devo- tion. Here one feels patriotism in it real nobility. The breath of a man's best aspiration for himself and his finest feeling for otiers is in it. God forbid that to give up _everything blindly, unreasonably, to a Moloch- state be the highest of human attain- ment. Let me give myself open-ev ed, free-hearted, to something that an honest man can love Government as such has no claim on the soul of a people, unless, in Lincoln’s phrase, it is of and for the people. Because America_has always aimed at that, and, with all her stumbling, pushes on toward that, with the love of men and the passion’ for free manhood in her heart, our hearts burn with love of her as we pledge anew “our lives, our fortunes, and out sacred honor. Liberty and Union. It is in this pursuit of freedom that we have found and shall find our uni- ty. In spite of many to whom the old allegiance and the name of the moth- er-country, however misgoverned, were dear, an American conscience- ness spranz to life among these scat- tereq colonies _at the sound of the shots at Lexington. In their common hope they made common cause, and to- gether became their own masters. Then, at least they lose again their hard-won lfberties, they came length into a stable union as one free people, whose first declaration of man’s right as man to live his life has remathed till now a beacon to _the world. ~ Again in those Civil War days how bitter a struggle it was to make £00d Webster's proud phrase, “Iiberty and union, one and inseparable!” Yet every hour of that struggle bears its testimony that it was not just a phrase, a resoundins bit of rhetoric, but a fragment of eternal truth. T believe this present hour, in which the ideal has emerged from the smoke of conflict and summoned us to take pur places on the side of liberty, is al- so to make one again an American gréwn diverse. We have been busy with selfish advantage, and self-seek- ing is always divisive. We have come from a hundred quarters, and brought the affections and the preju- dices of our origin with us. But why are we here Is that selfish advantage the whole story? Awe we Americans eolely from love of gain? No, it is the ideal, after all, that made all of us Americans. No man has chosen this Jand for a home, and .cast in his lot with us as a citizen, without at least some dim appreciation on his part or his father's of the invisible something for which this nation stands. which has made possible his oppartunity, and to which in the hour of need his soul will_answer. That hour has struck: soomer of lat- er faith in democracy ardor for free- dom, must flame again in every breast. We are at war with the government of Germany, and must be or stultify our- selves. This is a trazic thing for large elements among us whose friends and kin suppért that government in arms. So was it tragis when colonists of British_blood withstood the govern- ment of Britain, or ffs misgovernment embodijed in King George. So was it tragic® when you were called to war with your fellow-Americans of the South. An ideal unrealized may at any time cut across the dearest ties nd demand the costliest sacrifice. It is only in ideals achieved and duty done that we shall reach the untroubl- ed unity of our final peace. Seekers of Larger Leeway. ta man among us who knows the & of self-government and has seen a vision of freedom and oppor- tunity but owes that ideal an imper- ative duty of service—to set his cou- ntry right if she forsakes it, and to sustain her to the end if she is true. Our fellow-citizens of German origin are committed to these very hopes. They are here not because the scenes of their childhood ceased to be at- tractive to them, or because they for- sook love of kindred and kindly wish- es for their neighbors' welfare, but as seekers with us of larger leeway, ampler opportunity, and more equal freedom. Out from under the ec- clesiastical intolerance of the 17th and 18th centuries came those devout and highly Independent German Christians who foursl a congenial abiding-place in Pennsylvania. Europe's _struggle for political freedom which cumlinat- ed so disastrously in 1848 sent at new host, of Germans especially, to_seel here’ the fulfiliment of hopes which had Dbeen denied them yonder. The men who care for individual freedom have not been encouraged in Germany for & good while past, and from the steadi- ly subduing pressure of too rigid a class system, a formal state church, a military oligarchy, an overwhelming taxation, and a civil order which de- pends too much on regulation and ieaves too little to willing Initiative, thousands have instinctively sought re- lief not only as residents of this land but as citizens of this natlon. And {n crisis they have mot for- gotten the lodestar of their destiny. Thay helped work out the freedom of these colonies. “hey espoused the cause of a free and united democracy in the Civil war. Thev stood should- er to shoulder with all our -men in arms, as peristant as any and as gal- lant as the best. And now that con- flict impends between their chosen country and their kin, I know that they will rally with us to the defense of the hopes that brought them hither. Ar- rayed on the side of an international morality that puts right above might, on the side of a humanity that €ounts a_fellow-man a brother, on the side of a freedom that gives his own life 0 live, on the side of a type of gov- ernment ‘that roots in the will of the people, we shall stand united and at last, Fray God, triumphant.

It is not the maliled fist that can bring “earth’'s proud empires” under one dominion.

READ PAPER ON THE LIBERTY LOAN William H. Allen Eplains the Great Task lndertaken by Uncle Sam. At the open meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Friday evening, Chas. A.

Willlam H. Alleri and Charles E. Silwell, Jr, wert heard relative to the Liberty Loan. The platform was attractively dec- ted with the American flag, state of nnecticut flag and flags of the allies. ‘Shortly after eight o'clock Presi- dent Charles V. James called the meeting to order and after accepting the reports of the secretary and the treasurer as read, the chamber voted to have the opening of the Mohegan Trail on June 22, the annuzl outing of the vear. Secretary Branche read the following letter that he has received from the Manufacturers' Bureau: At a meeting of the Manufacturers’ Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce of Norwich, Conn, held Thursday ev- ening, May 10, 1917, T was instructed, as secretary of the Bureau, to advis You of the sense of that meeting rel- ative to relieving as far as possible the present car shortage in the coal carrving trade, and also relieving the present shortage of farm help. The unanimous expression of the meeting, attended by members rep- resenting our largest manufacturing industries was that the state of Con- necticut. city and town of Norwich, should discontinue the building of new roads during the war now in gre tary value, and thereby relieve some- what the 'situation relative to car shortage, and lack of farm labor. In connection with this matter, would call your attention to the fact that the governor of the state of Maine has taken up this question with the national goverment and they are working in conjunction on this mat ter, and the last word that I recefy- ed 'from Maine was that they intend- ed to carry out the ideas, as stated above to the fullest extent possible. Will you please bring this matter to the attention of the full Chafiber at the next meeting. Very truly yours. CHARLES A. SAXTON, Secretary Manufacturers' Bureau Chamber of Commerce of Nor- wich, Conn. After considerable discussion it was voted to bring the matter before the city, town, and state governments. President. James then introduced Williarn H.' Allen. president of the Un- cas National bank, who read the fol- lowing paper on the Liberty Loan: I am very glad to have the oppor- tunity of speaking tonight for the Lib- eray Loan committee, of which 1 have the honor to be a member. As vou all know, tiMs committee was formed to get subscriptions for the new Liberty Loan, and to make it a success all over the United Stat: The present loan is to be for $2.000,- 000,000—paying 3 1-2 per cent. inter- est' from June 15. 1917, due June 1914 but mav be redeered on or aft er_June 15, 193: If bonds are later issued mora than 3 1-2 per cent. bonds will be convertible bearing such higher rate. Of course, these honds are the best investment in the world today, being an_obligation of the richest country and the most prosperous one. So far, they have been well subscribed for b: banks and the rich, but that is not enonugh to make a siccess of the loan. It should be taken up by evervone, from all sections. It will be better to have 40,000,000 persons take eack $50. than to have 2.000,000 persons take each $1,000. The British loans are taken In small denominations by a zreat number, and the last German loan was distributed among ‘over 5.000,000 persons. As they say in England, “German _is wacthing us,” to see if the people will back up the government, and it will have a great effect upon the enemy, if our loan is oversubscribed. Every- one should buy a bond, and make our defense strong, “for if we do not come across, Germany will.” Tn Norwich, the plan is to adver- tise in papers, with signs and alse to send to the factories and shops slips bearing information regarding the bonds, which_can be placed in the pay paying these first into those envelopes. We are very fortunate in havink Mr. Ellwell, of Read & Co., here to conduct the campaign. The banks are doing all sist_in every wa: We appeal to the manufacturers and merchants, and in fact, to evervone to help arouse interest through this sec- tion. Subscribe yourself and get someone else to subscribe. Tt is estimated that $25 each is about the proportion for Norwich: it should be possible to raise our shire, and it should be done at once, we have only until June 15. Charles C. Eiwell, Jr, who is con- ducting the Liberty Loan campaign in this city_spoke briefly concerning the loan. He urged all to take out the bonds and also urged all to become bond salesmen in this matter. Charles A. Goodwin, member of the Connecticut Defense Couneil of Hart- ford spoke interestingly on the rela- tion Connecticut bears to the nation in the great war defense problem. A rising vote of thanks was given to the speaker and also to the Boston store and William H. Shields who loaned the use of the flags. they can to N. F. A. NOTES.

Friday morning at the opening ex- ercises Mr. Tirrell gave a brief talk on the significance of Memorial Day. He pointed out that Memorial Day will mean more to us this vear. He called the atténtion of the pupils to the bronze tablet in the front hall with the names of the Academy boys who dropped the pen for the musket in '61. Mr. Tirrell heartily recommend- ed all who could to attend the exer- cises on Chelsea Parade Wednesday. The N. F. A battalion will march in the Memorial Day parade to Chel- sea Parade where they will be dis- missed in order that they may attend the baseball game.
