Smailer piles were frequently seen about the cut-over acre- age but the piles at this point were ex- ceptionally large. One pile measured about 120 feet long, five feet high and eight feet wide, the wood having been cut into eight foot lengths. There were four of these piles within a_short dis- tance of each other and AN were of about the same size. It was estimated that the piles contained between 200 and three hundred cords. One of the piles appears in a photo- graph, ehowing the foreground a small plle but extending in back of it from thé&\extreme right of the picture to the left is a large pile. This pile in the picture might be taken for a stome- wall but it is cord wood containing white birch, oak, chestnut and black tirch and other woods. How much wood has been taken from the sites on both watersheds it is prac- tically impossib to estimate and can only be ascertained by an expert, but from the debris left on the sites it is ap- parent to the average person that the amount is very large. brush piles, re dgtrimental as e liable to contaminate d are a great fire risk in! o the northwest of/ accompany- | Hannah Kin watershed | Mrs. Peckham was assis(ed by her mother | ti- | to ng | A.

The call to service, which involves the great privilege of renresenting Christ, the wonderful opportunity, the sacred respon- sibility. ~ Secondly, commission for ser- vice—the gospel for all the world. The speaker stated that it made him feel a debtor to the unsaved. “Because Iie has commissioned me I am ready for service in His name” Like Paul I am not ashamed of the’ gospel as it is the power of God unto salvation to all that believe. Thirdly, confidence in His service—“Ask of Me and I will give you the heathen for your possession.” The Master who has called and commissioned me will use me in His service for the salvation of souls. The thrilling talk, which lasted for about an hour, closed with erayer. Thomas Peabody of Norwich made brief femarks and offered prayer. The offering for the society amounted to nearly $19. Rev. Mr. Mathewson pronounced the bene- dictian. Later there were two more solos by Dr. Lamb, One Fleeting Hour, Lee, and Mem- ories, Van' Alstyne, accompanied by the trio, with Miss Lathrop at the piano in- stead of Miss Bailey. Much appreciated was the courtesy of Mrs. William H. Fitch of East Town street and Mr. Pea- body, who very kindly conveyved the qu tette as. well as friends to and from Mrs. Peckham's home. Most people’s tempers are fairly de- cent when they are sound asleep. URGES EX-SERVICE MEN TO REINSTATE INSURANCE In a statement received from the bu- reau of war risk insurance, Washington, D.
