Robinson Preaches a st tion. ing Sermon to Large Congrega. At the second of the union services held at the Second Congregational church, the Rev. Edwin B. Robinson of Grace church, Holyoke, Mass., oc- cupied the pulpit. Taking as hi: scripture lesson the tenth chapter of Luke, wherein is described the send- ing forth of the seventy disciples to spread the gospel, he drew the an- alogy between that and latter day work among his followers. It is a great analogy and we have Lo right not to think in comparisons. Often we hear the most seifish ex- cuses urged for lack of action in the church and think that the excuse ends it. Really it but begins it. Be- cause we state that we are back- sliders or through with active serv- ice there. we have not gotten rid of our obligations. We are only making feeble excuses. We are apt to think in war terms now-a-days and we inay compare ourselves to privates in Christ’s army. Just as He sent out His seventy then, He sends us all out today. Why was the army of Oliver Crom- well so triumphant and ‘ictcrious, overcoming ail odds? Because every man in it felt that he was important and vital to the cause. Jesus- army felt just the same way and we shouid have the same feeling. The harvet is plenty and the lab- orers few. In a church that means so much and now especially, the lab- orers are few and the harvest sreat, for the task ahead of us. Never be- fore has it been so important to keep our church life alive and vigorous as it is today. There is a great lot of Christian work to be done this sum- mer, and we are all under test. The soldiers are very approachable just now and appreciate and loyal to the church. Christ's soidiers were very numer- ous. In our modern church of Christ need numbers. It is often said w that quality is better than quantit; We need quantity as well as quality. We need all kinds of people and many of them, a very democratic bodz: need numbers. Christ's fo. were numerous, nameless men, the ‘common people. These common soldiers had orders. They were told to go out and get down to business, to hit straight ai the mark. Today there is the neces- y jor the people in the churches to take orders, to have a program and a policy and put them throuzh, in- dividually as well as collectively. As common soldiers obey the most hum- ble orders so should we be wiiling to do. These Christian soldlers were to say something. In church Ilife it is 2 splendid thing to have convictions and express them and let people know where vou stand. In those olden days the method of sending forth the disciples was inter- esting. Two by two they went, one strengthening - and encouraging _the other. They got resuits. Wouldn't it De a good thing for us to study those methods. The seventy came back full of rejolcing and victory. The Mas- ter today is valiantly fighting in the fore front of battle as then. What are our churchés looking for today? Are they looking for the min- ister that measures high, that will bear the burden and carry the church forward while the laymen sit back at ease. The church with the twenty- five foot high minister and dwarfs in the pews is not to be envied. The common average is best. Any job worth having is wortheask- ing for. In Christianity the man who is good for much can find his task in church. Now there are many new tasks to be done in relation to our absent solder boys and these tasks always carry ther own reward. Let us each strive to find some com- mon task thats not being done and we shall be infinitely blessed and rewarded. GRACE MEMORIAL CHURCH.

Thousands, including many women and children iined State street. The departure of the boys in khaki was one of the brightest, as well as one of the saddest, scenes ever enacted in New London. It was a glorious summer mornin; and the departure of New London's soldier boys was with scant pomp and ceremony. The exercisés were sim- ple, but none the less impnessive. The occasion was fraught with sadness, too deep for expression. As the boys $t00d in front of the Munieiple build- ing, lstening to the kind farewell of or Ernest E. Rogers and were siven the benediction of Rev. Timo- thy M. Crowley, pastor of St. Mary's Star of the Sea church, many eyes in the multftude filled with tears and faces were grave and sad. The soldiers received the farewell with calmn and even stoicism. Sturdily and proudly, with a full reai- ization of the significance of the occa- sion, the artillerymen stood lined up in State street and listened to the offi- cial farewell of :the people of New London. It was a sight that will always be alive in ‘the memories of those who witnessed it. The setting of the farewell was superb. The sun shone brightly out of a clear, blue sky and there was tang in the air, refreshing and invigorating. The khaki clad boys, going forth to fight for the cause of country and humanity, presented an inspiring sight. Smiles, mingled with tears, and cheers, with sobs at the sight. Fully 4,000 Saw Departure. Although it was early when the soldfers left the city an immense throng turned out to bid the boys farewell. Fully 4,000 lined State street and thronged in front of the Municipal building during the exer- clses. Tt was just 7 o'clock when the sol- dlers started from :he armory. There was no confusion of any kind. As the men came from their hames they en- tered the armory quietly and report- ed and promptly as the hour set, the companies were in complete readi- ness. A minute or two before 7 o'clock Colonel Dorsey commander of the Connecticut Coast Artillery, appeared and he was followed imme- diately by his staff. Quickly the two comanies were formed in Coit street, the units which were to form the es- cort for the artillery companies had previously gathered in front of the armory. The formation was speedily accomplished and the soldiers were on their way to the transpor Parade From Armory. The parade was the feature of the demonstration. Police Captain Haven marched at the head, next came the band of the New London Ship and Engine Co. The procession moved in- to State street where it came to atten- tion in front of the city hall. Follow- ing the band came Company E and a platoon of machine gun company, Home Guard and = constabulary of the New London Ship and Engine Co. with six members carrving a_huge American flag. Then came Colonel Dorsey and his staff, followed by the Tenth and First Companies, Captains Conner and Crulse. Lapointe’s company of Home Guards and the Tlerney Cadets brought up the rear. The two companies, together with their escort, were drawn up in_front of the city hall where Mayor Rogers and members of the court of common couneil, city officials and prominent citizens were gathered on the steps. Colonel Dorsey, aides and officers of the companies stepped up on the side- walk, saluted and stood at attention. There was a tense moment and then avor Rogers made a brief godspeed addre: Headed by the band and the city officials the First company marched to the Central Vermont wharf oppo- the Union station where the sovernment transport Nathanael Greene was moored.
