The dedication ad- follows: g Through the generosity of our Men's club we are today to install this ser- vice flag to keep us reminded that 1y of our brave young men hnveI m into the military service of the nation.

The flag of a nation is the symbol otl x&' xgaflm'fiufl its history and o eals; . of gov- €] standard, and of its civili- zation; the sight of which stirs our patriotism and 'our always present if sometimes unexpressed affection. In times of peace and national tranquility we' greet' our flag with pride as the symbol of a commonwealth, which rep- resents great ideas of freedom of re- sourcefulness of power adequate for the protection and conservation of the rights of the humbiest as well as the most exalted of its citizens.

It has defended and pro , conserved and transmitted national rights and na- tional honor, but our flag has broken out into a larger world to take offices and services to mankind. leading our brave soms and brothers to the greater work of the emancipa- tion of a world. - It leads them to a battle which is to save humanity, make the whole werld safe from the clutches of despots. It's body, a new Calvary, as if tie nation had cgught the passion of the cross and was laying down its most precious gifts that all nations may be free. Surely a nation that will come to this new golgotha to redeem nations must find for itself as for other peo- pies a great future and a new conse- cration toythe great ideals of national life. A nation assuming such high tasks and a flag that leads the way to such a goal are surely now worth dying for.

Purkiss delivered an interesting and forceful sermon on Life, an Adventure. At the gervice of the Woman’s chorus under the direction of C. D.

Mr. Purkiss in his address of the evening said in part: 7 Every father who has a son should be a good sport. I don’t mean sport in one sense of the word, but 1 mean every father should look at the bright side of life and be a boy with his boy. A man doesn’t grow old be- old hecause he doesn't play. a hard proposition. If you smile through life it will help smooth over the rough places along life’s -highway. As that immortal poet, Browning, said, “Greet the unseen with a cheer.” If a man does this he will become marked among fellow men fol his cheerful attitude, God has an adventure for every man. It may be painful and hard, but Jesus has a marvel for each and every one of us. While he may touch a sore in our lives it is always for the good. The greatest adven- ture of the Christian life is found in that text which says, “Sell. all thou hast, give to the poor, and come fol- low me.” This is what Jesus said" to the rich man. He says this t oevery one of us. It seems a hard thing at first But the reward is ample. Many people fear Hell if they do not live rightly. But the conception of Jesus he plays but rather he grows| K cause he plays ey, 15te s | in every town and city in the country.

In response to a number of inquiries received from many sections of Con- necticut, Howell CLeney, state direc- tor of the National War Savings Com- mittee, Sunday issued a statement clearing up all uncertainty which has existed regarding the question of the tax status of war savings certificates. Mr. Cheney’s statement sets forth the fact that war savings stamps are free of all taxation. The statement fol- lows: “When preparing for the issuing of thrift stamps and war savings certi- ficates, the , national administration wisely decided that they should not be subject to any taxes, federal, state or local. In this respect, (¥ & are cntire- 1y unique, being free when almost ev- erything else of value is subject to the amount that ah individual may hold is limited to $1000, this con- cession does not deal unjustly toward other security holders. It is simply an inducement to the small investor to make an unusual effort in his own country’s behalf, by depositing as much of his surplus with the govern- ment as possible. Those who buy these little bonds should understand in ad- vance of the'coming days.of taxation return in April that whatever of their earned savings or surplus derived from cconomies is_ converted into Thrift Stamps and War Savings cer- tificates need not be recorded upon the assessor’s blank. As the interest and Prircipal are payable in 1923, neither is it necessary tq make mention of the investments in the return to the in- come tax collector, “They are, as stated, absolutely free and, as they also pay 4 per cen’. com- pound interest, are the best securities fhat one can buy in these troubled times.” Sales of thrift stamps and war sav- ings certificates throughout the coun- try have passed the $50,000,000 mark according to a telegram received on Saturday by State Director Howell Cheney from Frank A. Vanderlip, the head of the war savings campaign. Mr. Cheney has been advised that tHe sales are steadily increasing in ‘volume, and that they now are in ex- cess of $2,000,000 every day. Within a short time it is believed -that pa- triotic citizens will be buying to the extent of $3,000,000 every day, with further increases in prospect as 'the campaign gains momentum. Mr. Vanderlip's telegram Cheney also contains the following statement: “It is only by teaching all our people to save and not to com- pete for labor and materials with the government that we can place the whole strength of the natfon into the prosecution of the war. The sure way to raise the $2,000,000,000 in the war savings campaign is for the 200,000 workers in every city and town in the country and make it the com- mon purpose, and resalve to spread this gospel so that there will be an army of 75,000,000 war savers.” At the present time there are more than 2,500 agencies throughout Con- necticut where thrift stamps and war savings certificates may be ourchas- ed, according to figures given out at the office of the state director of war savings. to Mr. POLICE ASKED TO LOOK FOR WOMAN Eva Blais Has Disappeared From Her Home In Greeneville. The police in Norwich and - New New London have been asked ‘to mak® a search for Miss Eva Blais, twenty- two years of age, who disappeared last ‘Wednesday morning from her home in Greeneviile. A love affair is said to be conmected with her disappearance. It is said Miss Biais, unknown to her parents, became engaged to a gailor and that they were to have been mar- ried last Tuesday. Just before the wedding was to have taken place Miss Blajs informed her mother that she was to be married. Mrs. Blois told her daughter that she did not want her to be married right away. Wed- nesday morning Miss Blais left home and nothing has been heard of her since. The sailor to whom she was engaged does not know of the girl's whereatouts. He is aiding the police in the search. It is thought she may have gore to New London hut the polic: of that city can find no trace|" of her, Has Accepted Position in Hartford, Miss Helene Otis has accepted a position in the Hartford office of the Equitable Life Insurance Society of New York.

And to sum it up it means you will sacrifice time. mongy, friendship, everything, for Christ’s sake. There are many exam- ples where men have done this for Jesus. David Livingstone was honored by geographical societies, and scientific societies in Europe, but vet, he refus- es honor, fame, and money, all for the sake of Christ. . He found Christ a treasure beyond all earthly treasure and honor. Dr. Grenfell was another who- gave up wealth and honor for the Mas. ter's sake. He went to T.abrador where his life was a constan; adven- ture for Christ's sake. He faced death many times all for the sake of God. There are countless other ex- amples where men have given up ev- erything for Christ. + You have :q choose between God and pleasure. Which will you d#? If you are a Christian you will give up_all for His sake. It is an adventure. The joy of daring for Christ is the great- est possible joy. The satisfaction of standing on the bare promise of God is the miost magnificent adventure in human life. You face your choice. it be God or pleasure. for.the flesh you read corruption. vou live for the spirit you shall reap everlasting life. A striking illustration of this_is in a conversation held recently between a clergyman and a_newcomer to the clergyman’s town; The .man of ~God asked the other man if he was a churchmen, but the man said, he was not. The clergyman asked if he was for the kaiser and the man said in- deed” not. Then the clergyman said if you do not stand for the kaiser you must stand for the Christlan life. The kaiser stands for everything that is corrupt and the things that are of hell. Christ stands for th2 things that are good and let us follow Him and rest in His assurance of everlast- ing life. r RPN AR L SN FUNERALS. Mrs. Revillo. C. Hempstead. The funeral of Mrs. Revillo C.
