He called the attention of the men to the fact that no human being in this world can tell what is coming rext in this terrible catastrophy in the natiors, that what was needed now is some great prophet, not a hi i but a_prophet. g While we belisve that Germany s largely to blame. vet none of the na- tions have anything to brag about: there ar= splendid Christians in a1 the nations. but as a whole the nations are not exhalting Jesus Christ to any ex- tent. The speaker asked three questions and then proceeded to answer them: the questions were these: Do you need an anchor? jve an_ anchor? ‘Wil your anchof hold Of course we all need an anchor, no one will dem; this, but the real serious question i will vour anchor hold? That depends on whether you have the right kind of an anchor. Let me mention four men who had anchors, but some of them did not hold: Napoleon, the great war- rior, who almost crushed Burope with a tyrant’s heel. was finally exiled to St. Helena, and there the anchor to which he was clinging failed him and he went down in the whripool of fail- ure. Voitaire, had a great interlect. and he poisoned Europe with his infideli- tv, and the potentates applauded him in’ those davs, but his last words clearly indicate that his so-called an- chor absolutely failed tn the crucial test. bhon, the great man_who wrote “The risc and fall of the Roman Em- pire, said when his life was echbing away the future seems dark.” Paul, the wonderful man of the first century, was buffetted, and hindered in many ways, but h> weathered the stormy vovage of life, and because his anchor heid so gloriously he ex- claimed, “T know whom I have be- lieved, ard am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have com- mitted unto Him, against that day.” Paul, though he had mere storms than either of the others during his eventful life, vet his anchor held fast while the others failed, and all be- cause his anchor was Jesus Christ. Hugh Kinder officiated at the piane, and 51so rendered two solos. “Tell Me the Story of Jesus,” and “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling.” both of which were greatly enjoved. ecretary Hill had charge of the ser- vice and President Case offered the prayer.

It is evident that the Norwich public does not intend to tamely submit to the proposed discontuuanca of Boston store, That thie station is (00 convenient for business purposes have it given up is maintained by a‘l. The government allows only one doliar 1st the July the postoffice sub-station in to yearly to maintain ‘this suberati because it is in a department stor the bond required of #rank J. King, representing the Reid & Hughes com- pany, is enormous, in comparison with this trivial government allowance of 31, and, besides, the company has to pay the two young ladies who are clerks. While it is, in a way, an accommo- to the srore’'s customers, it is of small financial profit to If, as believed, it is the plan of the authorities at Wasbington to move the sub-station to some central drug store, the government will the% allow $50, 'making a difference of $49 between a department store allowance and that to a drug store—just why, it is not easy to figure out. Many prominent citizens, including Gen. William A. Alken and others, have protested againsi the removal the station from its present eite, while the Norwich Chamber of Com- merce has taken up the matter and is to bring it to the attention of (on- gressman R. P. F'reeman of this dis- trict. ~ Other individunls and some o canizations are preparing to write per- sonal and special letters to the con- £ressman expressing emphatic disap- proval of the proposed chargze This s a matter which must be done prompty, since the first of Juiy is th date set for the government orde become cffective. Many, individusis have protested to Postmaster John P. Murphy azainst the change, which is not of his making. CASE ON TRIAL. New London Man Sued As Result of | Collision Last August.
