Dr. 8. H. Howe Brings Message of Hope and Consolation to Shelter- ing Arms—Girl Singers Please — Ever Ready Circle’s Sale Nets $20. Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe of Park church had charge of the services at the Shel- tering Arms Sunday afternoon, a chojr of four girls assisting, their young, clear voices carrying the words and music to all the rooms. The hymns sung included Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go, and My Country 'Tis of Thee. Reading the %0th Psalm, Dr. Howe spoke of Moses as the greatest poet of the Bible, referring to John's ver- sion in Revelation and the words, “They sing the song of Moses,” the servant of God and ihe song of the Lamb. He showed from the first verse “Lord, Thou hast been. our dwelling place in all generations,” that God is| our dwelling place and that we should be centered in Him. Our homes here change, but God is the home of the soul. It is a safe place; nothinz can separate ‘us from the soul of God, for we are housed in God. This wonder- ful doctrine insured immortality: Christ says “because I live ye shall five also.” The petition in this Psalm, “Satisfy us early with thy mercy,” for God only can satisfy us, will be granted. God will-make us glad, for one day every soul will be happy. He will put us in right relations, bring- ing us to sources of happiness. The final beautiful petition “let the beauty of the Lord, our God, be upon us” is answered, for God puts his own beau- ty upon His saints. Sale Netted $20.

Reasonable excuses will be accepted by local and district boards for the temporary idleness or non-productive occupation of men of army draft age under the provisions laid down by Provost Marshal General Crowder for the enforcement of the “work or fight” order, according to an explanation of the order prepared by the publicity committee of the Connecticut state council of defemnse for the governor's office and made public today. Grounds for such excuses are designated under five headings. Those conditions which form reason- able excuse are given in the govern- ment language as follows: (a) Sickness. (b) Reasonable vacation. (c) Lack of reasonable opportunity for employment in any occupation out- side of those described (in the former “work or fight” articie) or those here- after specified by regulation or ruling as provided in this section. will proceed with the consideration of facts and upon ‘ascertaining that the registrant has no reasonable excuse, the registrant shall therenpon be liable to be inducted immediately into the 23 District Board’s Duties.
