The associatlon was begun In a quiet way more than forty years ago, by a few women already engaged:in benev- olent work, who felt that ‘further good milght be accomplished by union and or- ganization. Their nne object was the promotion of practical benevolence in Norwich, withdqut diktinction of race or creed. They builded - better - .than they knew and as a result we have to- day Instead of eight or ten separate =o- cieties for welfare work a single Incor- poration with a foundation = broad enough to inclide any such p'an which meets with #bproval, and for which Its president and officers are.chosen at a public meeting and its reports are widely cir- ommittees in charge of the City Mission, the Shel- tering Arms, the Rock Nook Children’s Home, club work, public health nursing, and other departments have been ap- pointed from time to time, and make their monthly reports to the executive committee. Its finances have been carefully man- aged under an advisorv committee of experienced business men, and every dollar is applied in striet accordance with the wishes of the donors. It Is supported by . vo'untary ,contributions from younz and old which have been ma- terfdlly Increased .by bequests from thoss who have approved its practical work and business methods. 'Some of the bequests sre so restricted that only the Income can be used. Others have been annlied te meet current expenses or in times' of special emergency. The dlvidends from such as remain are of utmost importance in meeting the an- nual® expenses. The United Workers now own a val- nable building lot and three old fash- foned dwelling houses which have been stretched and patched and altered to meet the changing conditions of the ast forty years. The generous bequests of Moses Plerce and-John Eecles have made pos- sible the reconstruction of one of these HIl the Rock Nook Home Is now in fine sanitary condition, particularly 'adapt- ed for the care of very young children. The building lot on which stands the Sheltering Arms may well be called the Land of Promise becauss it has been held for several years in the confident hope that a we'l planned buildtng may there arise to take the place of the present {ll arranged and overcrowded building. ' The officers are asking, who Is ready to help? The third house, though the last to come into ‘the possession of the so- ciety is known as the United Workers house, and is really the official head- quarters. = Here are the offices of the City Misslon, the. public health nurses. the employment bureau, the eclinies for little children "and for tubercu’ous, and the assembly voom for executive and committes .meetings. These ae the outward and material signs of the United Work, but no words can tell what has been accomplished by the willing hands held out to help those struggling unigr heavy burdens, to bring Mfe and health to emaciated bod- fes, to turn the steps of the young into paths of pleasantness and peace. “Now why do the United Workers need mora money? e Because now, the officers answer, is the opportunity for everyone to enter more generous’y than ever before into this scheme of general benevolence. ‘With the changing character of our population, the best lessons in true Americanism can be taught by the agen- ciés already In operation. Experienced men and women are at hand to carry out the scheme, but money is needed far beyond the usual amount received in gifts. Invested funds must not be exhausted, or there will be no divi- dends. The people of Norwich have test- ed the methods of the United Workers, and they will surely rise to its support. Diphtheris Increase in State. Diphtheria increased considerably. over last week, in the state, according to the report of tHa state department of health, but this imcrease is simflar to the one which occurs each year dur- ing September and October. This year, however, the increase is coming about one week earlier than the.correspond- ing period in 1920, Qf the other “mportant diseases, do- bar pneumonia is the only one which is showing a tendency to increase over last year's cases. | There have been fewer cases of meas- ‘es reported threughout the year and at the present time there is no indica- tion that this disease will become un- duly prevalent. Scarlet fever, which was eptdemio in certmin parts of the state in the early months of the year, Is now being re- ported from few communities and the cases during the past two months have been less than those reported in 1920 for the corresponding months. Typhoid fever cases exceeded the cases reported during 1919 and 1920 the greater part of the year until Septem- ber. Since the first week of Septem- ber, the total number of cases in the state hag been less than .1920. ‘Whooping cough has run a course similar to that of scarlet fever, exceed- ing the 1920 figures during the first part of the year. Since July the cases reported for the whole state have been about one-half of the cases reported during 1920. ‘Waoden Wedding The wooden wedding anniversary of the Rev. and Mrs. H. C.

PEOPLE ARE INVESTING IN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES Reports of investments in government savings eecurities for September have been received by F. C.

Mr. Ayres declares that the sale of these baby bonds is increasing in popu- larity notwithstanding the hard times and general unemployment: ‘“Money is being invested every day in. savings stamps and treasury savings eertificates which has been hoarded and active for months,” says Mr. Ayres. “Evidences of this have been brought to light through- out the district. People begin to realize that capital ‘is willing to work if given a chance.” ‘The report of sales to Sept. 30 gives New Hampshire pride of place in New England with a per capita average of 36c and a 33 1-3 per cent, sales increase over the previous meonth.

Among other points brought out were the following: That while men and nations really need Christ, oftimes they dct as though they did not need him. In the present time nations seem to be anxious to get everything for themseives Without regard to others, and this is simply a seMish spirit and not the spirit of Christ. Industry is grappling with great problems, and too often they for- get and almost ignore the need of Christ's spirit in setthng their = dis- pute: that the problems of imdustry and great national problems will never be solved unless they are solved in the spirit of the Golden, Ru'e.laid down by the Master of men. The question arose as to whether a man could be success- ful in business and at the same time follow. closely the. teachings of Christ. this question was fully discussed from various angles, and the opinion of the great majority was that -religion and business are not opposed to each other, but that a man could maintain his Christian intergrity and be a successful bueiness man. cess was measured far men than by God; men too often meas- ure a man's success by the amount of cash he accumulates, whi'e God counts that man succeseful whose character is Christian in every detail of is life. If an individuval needs Christ, a city. a state, a nation and a.world needs him: also too often men do not admit that they need Him, but the need is there just the same, and the only secret to happiness Is the enthronement of Jesus Christ in heart and life. After the very interesting discussion, a social perfod was enjoyed and light refreshments served. MARYENOLL MISSIONARY ADDRESSES ST. PATRICK'S PEOPLE The diving commission of the true sionary was the theme of Rev. William J. Downs, of Marvknoll Seminary, Os- sining, N. Y., who addressed the three congregations at St. Patridk's church Sunday. Father Downs snoke from Matt. xxviii, “Go ve therefore teaching all na- tions, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” He described the origin. alms and accomplishments of Maryknoll foreign mission work, which began about ten years ago, when Father Walsh of Boston and Father Price of South Sar- olina, during a meeting considered the needs of the foreign field.” In due time the mission was instituted and approved, when without funds, home, or students. the two missionaries leased a small house at Hawthorne, N. Y. That God has favored and prospered their work is proved by the conditions today; the mission seminary is now lo- cated at Maryknoll on the Hudson, where 35 priests are teaching over 160 stu- dents, while 116 Sisters and over 25 Brothers are training for the forsign field. In addition to this, there is a college at Scranton, Penm., and three sta- tions on the Pacific Coast. at Los An- geles, San Francisco and Seattle. The mission is maintaining In South China 17 priests, six Sisters and one Brother. blessings of faith, many of the mountain people walkinz twenty or twenty-five mileg to attend mass. It 1 300 vears since St. Francis Xavier was sent to Japan to carry the falth; and although later the govern- ment drove out the missionaries and de- stroyed their churches, £o that mission work has been nossible only for the past fifty years or so, still some of the Jap- anese show “that tHey 'have inherited the faith taught their fathers and keep up in so far as possible, the practices of their religfon. & As an eyidence of the devout character of some of the Chinese taught, Father Downs instanced the case of a young Chinese boy who accompanied Father Walsh to Maryknoll on his way to a western college to study. engineering, ex- pecting in time to return to his native land; he has a brother a priest, a sis- ter a nun, while hig uncle is a priest and his aunt a nun, all doing splendid work among their people. Critics may advance the argument that there is plenty of work of this kind to be done right at home but the Saviour did not ecommission His disciples to wait a while before beginning His work; He commanded them, “Go, teach all na- tions” and it lg this desire to save the souls of all races, brown, or vellow, or black, or red, which actuates the true missionary. The zealous Fathers of Maryknoll pub- lish a little missionary magazine describ- ing their work, entitled “The Field Afar” and nearly every:-family in the parish en- listed as a subscrfber'to this publication, before Father Downs returned to his work at the Maryknoll Seminary late Sunday afternoon.
