A. work and proved this interest last May when they contributed so generously to ‘the bullding fund. The association is a public Institution and in military camps where there is no home influence the Y. M. C. A. is do- ing & splendid work, and it is for the raaintainance of this work at the Y. M. A. is now asking for money. Bi!hop Acheson, who is to address us this afternoon is one who understands the needs of the soldier, having been one himself at one time in Canada, where he greatly distinguished him- self by rescuing a comrade.. There they called him the Fighting Parson and .ever since he has been fighting in a spiritual cause. I take great pleas- ure in introducing Bishop Acheson. Bishop Acheson spoke as' follows: It ts a pleasure for me to address a Norwich audience and I consider a vear net well spent when -I do not spend some time in this city. meditate on the demands county upon us. What is this country that calls us? Surelv the call of the U. S. A. must be different than the call of Germany to her people. Came Not For Conquest: When this country was founded it was a_ season of freebooting. Drake and other great men of that time were ES more 0% Jars than pirates. This ountry was founded at this time by rnan who were of high character and worshipers of God even in the period of ‘uprest. The first people came to this land not for conquest but.-to-set- tle and make homes. The first thing they did was to set up an altar and then worship at this altar. The wo- men wove their own clothes and help- ed in the flelds. A welcome was ex- tended to all. Taxes were self im- and schools sprang up. A new type of man came out of this exist- cnce. A man who went out to Englang and the European countries recognized o new being. The civilization extend- the west. Then an army wwas sent over here and these people who had known freedom fought against tyranny and freedom and Liberty were born. Again in 1812 the freedom of the country was imperiled but again the men carhe to the front 2nd the democracy of the cortry was saved. And yet again in 1861 when the liberty of the country was at stake true men came to her aid and she was preserved. For vears and years the eyes of the forsigner has Been turned toward this r‘ountn as a haven of refuge where might enjoy the rights of human beinu Theére has been a steady in- flux of foreigners and they have pro- ressed and_ become citizens in the and of the free. A Peace Loving MNation. ‘We have been 2 peace loving natfon with no thought of war, our navy and army have been small. The only thing we have had to ficht has been the selfishness and zveed of certain factions. We have been slow in getting into this war. Don’t blame congress, for being slow, for they must take time to look at things and conditions from all sides. . We must go forward and God will go forward with us. There is not another nction of the earth to which the immigrant may look for freedom. ; On the other hand take Germany. Her spirit- is_entirely opposite to that of this country.

The Red Triangle. The Y. M. C. A. is one cf the orzan- izations which is doing a great work in this war.

Activi War. +In my judgment, the Young Men's Christian Assoclation fs doing _the greatest plece of constructive life- saving work ever attempted since Cre- ation’s dawn, said Rev. Arthur Fran- cis Purkiss, pastor of the Central Bap- tigt church in his Sunday morning sermon. It was a deepiy interested congregation that listened to Rev. Mr. Purkiss a she told of the Y. M. C. A. activitles in the present world war. In part Rev. Mr. Purkiss spoke as fol- lows: It is'a high privilege to get into the midst of a mighty Jno; mighty movements make REV. ARTHUR F. PURKISS if these men are open to see the in- herent greatness of the movement. The Young Men’s Christian Associ- ation is the lemder-in the grandest so- cial and -religious movement in the world’s history. They have done a really great work befor: this, in the preventive and protection work fo rour bors and young men, But it is my judfment that the -present task they have undertaken is mightier in its concept, and vaster in its reach of influence than all thev done in all the years of their history. I rejoice in the holdness and dar- ing, in the sheer audac! of our lead- ers in. undertaking a job so challeng- ing as this. T had rather be of a2 movement so great as thi it failed. than to be -the successful leader of a perfectly wisc sane move-. ment that measured up to the. usual style of religious cautic Camp Devens is a t work for the cantonme: of this coun- try; so I will try to give You an idea of the work there. When - the first carload of our hovs mot off the train at Ayer. they found that the Y. M. C. A. building and workers were alrefidy there. The buildings zre green -in color, and have a red triangle on them. They are fourteen in number, scatter- ed throuzhout the yhole camp. of 29,- 000 soldiers. , The barracks have not had heat in them as yet, hut are ex- pecting it in a couple of weeks. But the Y. M. C. A. buildings are all heat. ed. They have ten thousand hooks in their libraries and an aburdance of papers and magazines. They have Lriting materials. which are furnish- ed free for the soldiers. At one end of the building they have a great fire place where the boys gather for their evening “sing” and story telling. Every evening they have an enter- tainment meet of some kind, movies, lectures and musieals. These Y. M. C. A’s act as depart- mental post officers, branch express of- ces, bronch telephone offices. The. force of Y. M. C. A. workers in Aver numbers 70. They have an informa- tion bureau at the maln entrance. _They have a great educational de- partment. - Thers are more than 1100 men at Ayer that cannot speak Fng- lish. They are trving to teach them.

Women and Wine are the Devil's sreatest destruc- ticz agencies. They will ruin more men- than the enemies’ shot and shell. Tn my judgment, the Young Men's Christian Association is doing the sreatest plece of constructive life- saving work ever attempted since Cre- ation’s ‘dawn. Let me relate an instance which took place in Ayer. Tt was riining & driz- zly cold rain. A ‘younz man and his wife stood under a tree having a farewell visit. The rzin was drip- ing’hard upon them, but they didn't move. - The secretary- of the associ- invited them into the bduildin ‘gave them one of the offices tha they might have an-undisturbed vis- it. The'young man came around thes mext day with heartfelt thanks for the kindness. He said that they had only b?n married a month, and the separation was hell. He joined the Pocket Testament League and -wanted to buy .a_testament for his wife that they might-read together. ‘There are probably ‘not less than 500,000 men in France, They 2xnect to have 1,600,000° men there by July st and .another million men in_the cantoriments on our shores. ‘These must be cared for. Besides our.own task, Jtaly, France and Russia have all asked for our work. Then_there are 7 millions of ‘men in the prison camps of Europe. If there is one: place on earth more needy of christian service than-another it is t. -for) migfiy, ‘men | i, the prison camps. I do not feel it necessary to ask you to give ‘to this cause. I know you will if it is at all-possivle. -What I wart to.urge upon you is the spirit of self ‘sacrifice, 'We must give till -it cuts. Our boys are giving their lives ~-one year, twe vears, three years, their ‘whole life if necessary. Shall we hold back our money from this great- est service? Ladies’ Aid Contributed $20. The Ladies’ Aid socielty of the Greeneville Congregational church has contributed $20 to the Itéd Cross for the free wool fund, a gift which is ap- preciated very much by the commit- ee in charge.
