I, Were yigffors here on Sunda; Keep the Home Fires Burning, Says Rev. George H. Strouse. eer; the Home Fires Burning” was the topic for the address given at the gervice Sunday night at the First Baptist' church by Rev. George H. Strouse, who had invited the Sunday school, Young People's society and | other special organizations to attend the service. He spoke in part as follows: Let me suggest that first we keep the fires burning in our homes. It isn't possible to overestimate the part the homes of America are soing tej play in the winning of this war. We have given our boys, but that is not sufficient; we must give ourselves. There must be an indissoluble bond of love and suffering between us and them. The fires of courage and deter- mination and sacrifice must never be permitted to go out. When we greet our soldiers with a hearty handshake and send them letters, let us never for a moment suggest any sorrows or-dis- comforts. From the homes of America there must flow a mighty stream of confidence and good cheer that shall empty into the great sea of army life in the “somewhere” across .the sea. Thus will our soldiers be kept con- scious of the righteousness of . the cause for which they are “going over the top” and for which they are mak- ing the “supreme sacrifice.” Second. Let us keep the fires burn- ing in our fair city. The fires of jus- tice and righteous. indignation. When law is violated, let justice he meted out on the guilty. We must keep the fires of righteous indignation- burning against all those who are scheming to get rich at the expense of the morals and the morale of the boys who wear the uniform of Uncle Sam. Para- sites there are in human edeiety but the fires of. public sentiment and righteous indignation must wax hot until the suckers of human blood are destroved. Keep the fires of respect burning. Our city is a part of the whole body politic and we can - only have a clean land as we have clean cities. Third. We must keep the nation's fires burning. The fires of lovalty, sacrifice and patriotism—for unless we do our cause is lost. This is not the time for a 50-50 loyalty. In these days when men’s hearts are being sorel tried. we need to swear anew our loy- alty and allegiance to the land we love and to the flag,which floats in beauty over our heads’and will wave. in holy and righteous triumph in the days to come. The fires of sacrifice must not burn out. We must have our Nathan Hales Who not only regret they have but one life to give for their country but who regret they have but one fortunme to place upon the altar. It isn't fair to ask our soldiers to do all the sacrific- ing. We must ail do our bit. Fourth. We must keep the religious firtes burning. Oh, that in this dark hour there may be a mighty move- ment Godward on the part of our whole nation. The saddest loss that could possibly overtake any nation. is the loss of God. A nation never rises above its religion. The Turk is bloody because Mohammedanism has made him so. This my own personal ex- perience in Africa and India.. Ger- many is lusting for world dominion | and determined to win it at whatever cost because Germany has lost God and the nation is now permeated with German brand of religion. Let us re- joice in ‘our vast material resources but let us rejoice even more in the Lord our God who made the heavens and the earth and who will marshal all the seen and unseen forces of the uni- verse, when the hour strikes, that truth and justice may triumph in the earth.

T want to tell you that those in whose care the little ones are left are the ones we should sympa- thize with on such an occasion as this o you know that many, I believe, take it simply to bring in that reai significance or perhaps that they will themselves pass away some day. and when these years have come thev too shall be called three separate and dis- tinct times and shall fail to answer anq the sergeant at arms will pin a flower in token' of esteem.

The Norwich subscriptions to the Third Liberty Loan now total some- thing over $250 000.: The local banks have received nearly seven hundred subscribers to _the loan g0 far. Some idea of the great task that faces the U S. Treasury officials may be gleaned from the following: state- ment issued by the National Liberty Loan bureau of publicity: The ordinary actual disbursements of the United States Treasury, which {include all war expenses, from the 1st of July, 1977, to March 16, 1918, when the Treasury . statement was issued, amount to $4,233 261 000. iy The ordinary actual disbursements for the corresponding . period.: of - the fiscal year of 1917 were $683969 000. These figures show that the war has added practically three and a half billion to the expenses of the, Govern- ment for the time between the two dates named eight and a half months, This means an expenditure for war purposes, for America’s part in the war, of about $400000,000 a month or over $13 000000 a day The above figures, however. do not include the $3 621,830 000 loaned to our Allies in the period dealt with. These are good and secure investments which will' ultimately be repaid the United States. The “total - loans: to our Allies to date aggregate practi- cally_ $5 000 000,000 000000 used to purchase Farm Loan Bonds ineluded,. another investment rather than an expense. The ~total disbursements . of . the Treasury from July 1 last to March 16.were $11.274 575000, This sum “in- cludes the ordinary actual disburse- ments which comprise the usual civil expenses of the Government and the cost of the war as above set out, the amount loaned our Allies and bonds. notes and certificates of indebtedness retired. Most of this last item is made up of payments of the shortsterm in- terin certificates issued last fall. The total receipts of the . Govern- ment in the period named were $11,- 017,257 000 against total receipts for the corresponding period ‘of the fiscal year of 1917 of $540 217,000. NORWICH OWNED CAR STOLEN SUNDAY NIGHT Hudson Taken From in Front of Le- vine Hame in New London. The Hudson touring car with the registry number 11,712 in_the name of Levine , Brothers, of this city was stolen in New London Sunday night from in front of the home of Sam Le- vine on Shapley street, ~while the Norwich owners of the car were mak- ing a cail upon Mr. Leévine who is their brother. The party in the car which left here about 8.30 o'clock to make the trip to New London, consisted of Abraham Levine and Saul' Levine of 1 Eliza- beth street, brothers, Miss Annie Le- e and S. Friedland with the latter's oung son. The car must have been taken soon after they went into the house in Shapley street as they were only in the house about 20 minutes when one of the party came out and found that the car had disappeared.

T - TFaith, belief in the Creator of the universe, is an obligation which most men acknowledge. In the matter of seeking God, man must, not be content Wwith a mereiy passive existence, nega- tive goodness in doing mo evil, -but must seek /the God who is willing (0 meet him half-way, though positive eeds, Through service, working out his salvation. siruggling ever against sin. This is the obligation, faith, with good worke. The weakness of spiritual inertia was pointed out; ~.that sluggishness which makes some men craven and backward in the acknowledgment of the Creator, lax in the service of God, lax in their service to their fellow men in matters pertaining to the soul. ,Like the rich.young.man . in.. the scripture, others who may hear the cali of God ta service, hesitate, turn away, considering the sacrifice of worldly things too great. Others are impa- tlent at personal sacrifice and incon- venience. Some who might be moved to seek God through the sacrament of penance are disconcerted by possible comments and criticism on the part of | evil companions; human respect makes men forget that, after all, the greatest thing in life, the one important thing. is the saving of souls. The courage of Christ their Leader, of the hero saints. these should be imitated by Christians Father Cuny developéd the point that seeking God will be voluntary, if man is _actuated by the proper mio- tives. To go to church, to frequent the sacraments merely because one is obliged to, this is not truly seeking God. It shows that man may be in the right ‘way, but he is not yet on the right track. With true desire of coming to Him who will be the re- warder of those that seek Him, as the years go on the Christian will realize that- he is constantly drawing nearer and nearer to that All-Perfection, to which death is the gateway. Following the high mass, benedic- | tién of the blessed sacrament was given by Rev. Myles P. Galvin. as has been the rule since the afterncon ves- pér‘service: was given up, early in the winter, because of the government fuel restrictions.

Bill, the French sol-. diers are grand fighters, loyal-to,one another, and one has only: to watch them carrying pff their dead ' and wounded with the utmost care. Thée Americans even at the first baptism of fire were game and held their posi- tions ‘like old timers. I haye watched some great battles in the air and have seen three German planes brought fo the ground: I have seen many of the battlefields of last year and must say shot and shell has done some awful damage, and sone day hope to .see poor shell-torn France rebuilt again.

Davis theatre was packed to capa- city Sunday afternoon, when Rev. M: McLean Goldie, Y. M. C. A." worker recently ‘returned from Russia spoke ion his experience in that land of chaos. Previous to Rev. Mr. Goldie's talk Archibald R.-Gilchrist sang two sefec- tions in fine voice and was heartily applauded Secretary Edwin Hill who was chair- man of the meeting, made a brief ad- dress in'which he thanked Mr. Gil- christ, Mr. Newberry the accompanist, Swahn orchestra which furnished the music ‘and_Rev. Mr. Goldie for their services. . Mr. Hill then Introduced Rev Mr. Goldie, who at one time was rector of Grace Episcopal church -at Yantic but gave up his pastorate to enter the Y. M. C. A. War ‘Work. Rev. Mr Goldie said in part: When the war broke out I looked for a way to serve. I put in an application for work and was soon stationed at Fort Terry, where I made many friends. You da not realize what the Y. M. C. A is doing until you see the work in the camps. Then came the call for volunteers for foreign service. -1 voiunteereq and on the 25th of Sept. I started for Rus- sia Petrograd was my destination and, my. object was to instill a little of -the morale. of the: Allies into the Russian forces. - After a journey of 21 days from. New York by the way of. San Francisco I arrived in Vladivostok. in.Russia.- After this journey which was an in- teresting ‘one as well as an exciting one as I experienced a typhoon which is one of the worst storms known, I found',that the conditions in Russia were very bad. The czar had adbi- cated and the government was in the hands of Kerensky. We thought his power would stand but even then there were signs of revolution. Things were in a state of chaos. The soldiers and sailors had rebelled against their officers and they were in power The Y. M. C. A. men I was with tried to establish_a committee to carry on the work but to little avail. I preached the first English sermon in the history of Vladivostok but it had little im- pression. In Vladivostok I saw a Rus- sian admiral who was trying to get a living by serving as. a porter The people ‘of Russia are uneducated as only about ten percent of them can read or write. The officers are well educated and are brave men for all the things that ‘are laid up.against them. After a few days we started for Petrograd and after a trying journey of 12 days we arrived there. Every thing was in 4 state of turmoil. The Irevolution was in full swing. The winter palace of the czar was held by Kerensky. In walking down the street one could see the beautiful buildings full of bullet holes and marked with the sears of the revolution It was in Petrograd that I saw the Battalion of Death. On ‘the eve of the counter revolution this regiment of the finest women I have ever seen marched intg Petrograd and took up quarters in the winter palace. On the following day after I had obtained a passport from the Kerensky government which by the way is the last passport issued by that government the Bolsheviki started their revolution. I saw the last gener- als of the Russian army march out under the guard of the = Bolsheviki. The Bolsheviki after hot fighting took the Battalion of Death prisoners: They violated these women and ‘then killed 180 of them. It was after this that I managed to get back to Viadivostok and from there to the States In closing Rev. Mr. Goldie spoke of Lenine and Trotsky, saying that they were the vilest of men and were the devilish agents of the German govern- ment. The speaker produced a letter showing that these two had received compensation indirectly from Germany for stirring up strife in Russia. Mr. Goldie_spoke in the highest terms of the British ambassador and _the French. He urged the people of Nor- wich to-realize that they must be.up must sacrifiee buy. ‘Bonds ‘and do everything in our power to' help. . We must consentrate our energy. We must Fiftesn hundred doilars worth have al- ready been subscribed for at the head- quarters where literature is given out about the loan and the transacions are made for anyone who wishes to ~buy them. 5 nevetlose this war.. In closing he said, We ' may ece terrible conditions but “we will- never see defeat.

The Boche kept throwing shells over 4t us on and off. all night, but otherwise it was quiet.
