GALVIN The solemnity of the last Sunday of the Old Year inspired a very apposite and suggestive sermon on the part of Rev. Myles P. Galvin, the preacher at the high mass.in St. Patrick's church Sunday. Reasoning from the remém- bered changes and unexpected hap- penings of the twelvemonth just end- ing, Father Galvin reminded his au- ditors that it was but logical to sup- pose that many listening to him at that moment would not be in their places when the final Sunday of 1920 shall have come around. THealth, vouth, vigor, may be no assurance that death will not claim many in the congregation, before another year ends. The fact that numbers of those call- ed have gone suddenly, should be a lesson and warning to us who remain to enter upon the New Year with se- rious spiritual preparedness. To that end, it is the policy of wisdom to care- fully review the year just ending, con- sidering the light places and dark places, the successes and failures, the sins and virtues which have marked 1919. Few there are who wil not find ugly disheartening mortal sins, now deprived ©f their glamour, or at least many venial sing of carelesness and indifference, as well as reproaching ievidences of neglected graces, favors and blessings from God, which in some cases have been slighted, in oth- er instances abused. nored, or disregarded; the summon$ do good has been unheeded. is one calculated to make Lllo 1 ation of the (Wristian a period of sorrow and bitterness regret. Had those whom God has summon- d during 1919 been aware that it w: o be their last year on earth, they been tions for journey g that we, too, may be ¢3 Hml unon to pass before the judgflent seat of the Almighty before ours should be the prompt and thorough exsmination of failures and defects of the past vear, that we may make the firm res- olution not to repeat them during the year soon to dawn. People largh and joke abouzt making good resolutions on New Year’s Day to break them the day after; but, on this serious supject, the breacher expressed the hope that h!is hearers would not prove in that class, He cited the two obstacles to spir- itual reform, i. e., delay, and overcon- i fidence. Hence he admonished those who heard him with gnch close atten- tion not to wait until New Year's to form their resolution to with more fidelity, to accomplish something for their salvation .during the coming year, but to make that (\nulu not have firm resolution before leaving the church. During the mass much of the Christmas music was repeated under!hook reaching ot a protecting arm direction of Organist Trank L. Farrell, | to ward dangers of war from the hat- who, at the offerforv played a portion of the superb Alpine overture to Wil- liam Tell. In the Creed, Mrs. Farréll had the beautiful solo, Et Incarnatus, while the unaccompaniéd male voices in the Sanctus gave a notéworthy in- terpretation of a majestic and har- monious number. — SHOULD ATTACH THRIFT STAMPS TO CARDS Because of a_misunderstanding on the part of some people to the effect that thrift stamps and war savings stamps are redeemable when -detach- ed fromr the official thrift card or war savings certificate issued to contain these securities, the Connecticut War Savings Committee is sending out in- formation calling attention to the gov- ernment ruling which states that nei- ther thrift stamps not war savings stamps are cashablé unless they aré affixed to the official cards issued by the government for this purpose. Information which has reached thée headquarters of the savings division shows that some people have attempt= ed to cash either their thrift stamps or war savines stamps when not at- tached to cards. When refused pay- ment they have been rather at sea as to why thev shotild be refused. It is pointed out that if the »peoble will be sure that these securities are affixed to the cards issued by the U. S. Zov- ernment only, it will not only save trouble for themsclves, but wil al m:\.]kt' things easier for the postal oti?

This plan is to take the form of persondl effdrts on the part of lay methbers in the churches to win to the Christian forces and to membership in the churches large numbers of people who owe allegiance to these. churches, but; for some reason or other, are not counted within their membership. Practically all of the great religious denominations in this country. have undertaken a careful survey of the special tasks assigned to them in ade- quate after-the-war programs and have gone before their constituencies with requests for large sums of mon- ey and also for thousands of recruits for the work of the Christian minis- 0¥ for the work of sions at home and abroad. Conspicuous among these maovements. are the Centenary Movement of the Methodist Episcopal Churches, North and South, the New Era Movement of the Presbyterian Churches of North America, the New World Movement of the Northern Baptist Convention, the Nation Wide Campaign of the Episcopal Chureh and the Congregational World Move- ment. A great deal of preliminary. work has been done by the leaders in prep- aration for this task, which promses to he the greatest undertaking of American Protestantism. In Dldl‘r that due emphasis may be placed upor {he essentials, it has been deemd wiss to sources in concerted prayer by the churches.

Passing of Sandy Hook Provihg| Ground. The hooming of big afmy guns at Sandy Hook has been one of the great sensations for outlying residents of New York and those taling ship for foreign waters. The heavy thud of supercharges in long, blue nosed en” gines of destruction was often a re- quiem for the passengers of transat- lantic liners going down the bay at sunset. Frequenty bathers at the beaches of Coney Isand and albng the Jersey qhore would rise drippiig from the salty sea to marvel at a sudden roar, Often the question had been asked, “Was it an eagthquake?’ and the answer would be, “No; its the gung at the proving ground.” An arm would be waved in the general direction of the long, low lying bor with its thousands of ships stretching for north and the miilions of people living in such compactness only a little distance away, quite with- in reach of a powerful naval gun from the sea. Sandy Hook has been the pride of the city’s martial defence for twenty- five years since 1885, in fact, when the first big 12-inch guns were set up there with their famous disap- pearing carriages. The announcement now is made by the War Departemnt that Sandy Hook as a proving ground will pass away. The gun testing is to be done here- after principally at a reservation near Aberdeen, Md., which was built up ex- tensively during the war. So the Hook will no longer shake with the detona- tions of newly turned guns. Sandy Hook does not offer a long enough range for testing the giganmtic guns now being turned out. Twelve inch guns were all that the Hook could stand, and some of those, roar- ing out their charges, seemed to shake the sands til they slid into the sea. At the new reservation 1-inch guns, and bigger as the army develops them, can be fired with safety.
