The lecture which was given by Rev. David A. Pitt, D.D., pastor of the church, was an interesting one and the audiéncé was of large size. Before the fllustrated talk Edwin Hill, sécrétary of the local Y. M. C. A, invited all present to attend the break- ing of ground for the mew Y. M. C. A. building this (Monday) morning. The new building is to be erected on Main street nearly opposite the postoffice building. Two hymns thrown on the screen were sung by the congregation, after which Dr. Pitt gave the illustrated talk. He spoke briefly of the origin of mis- sion work and of the world-wide move- ment and aideq by the slides, went on to show how easy a hundred millions of dollars could be raised by the Bap- tists on a plan similarto the tithing system. One hundred millions of dol- lars could easily be raised in foyr years if each Baptist would give the equal of only one-half of a tithe of an ordinary day laborer, he said. Dr. Pitt then -gave an analysis of possible giving by the Baptists through- out the country. He told how the Creek Indlans of Oklahoma offered $81,000 to- wards' the world movement fund. Don’t envy anyone Who is ho'ding on- to his wealth, said Dr. Pitt. Don't get angry with him. He is more to be pit- fed than censured. The service came to a close with the singing of a hymn the words of which were thrown on the screen, and Dr. Pitt pronounced benediction. It was announced daring the service that Dr. and Mrs. Pitt will be at home to all the members of the church and the congregation at the rectory mext Friday evening. Dr. Pitt will be in Hartford Tuesday to attend a meeting of the Baptist board of promotion of which he is a member. - STATE TOBACCO CENSUS— TOLLAND COUNTY 2,124 ACRES The marketing bureau of the state department of agriculture has tabulated the tobacco ¢ensus for Connecticut as obtained from the New England crap report.

BAPTISTS OF STATE TO CONSULT OVER OBJECTIONS The annual meeting of the state board of promotion of the Connecticut Baptist convention will be he'd at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, November 29, at the Y. M. C. A, Hartford, Luncheon will be served at 12.30. This promotion board is the new organization of the Baptists, which hae been formed in each state of the northern Baptist conven- tlon to bring about its completion of the $100.000,000 program which the denom- Ination has adopted. The meeting on Tuesday Is llkely to be of great signifi- cance and will plan for the carrying out of the several great objectives which have been placed befors the denomina- tion for the coming year. . At this meeting Dwight Chapman of Hartford will tell of thé recent meeting of Baptist laymen in Indianapolis, when it was voted to form an organization of laymen In évery association of all the states to aid In the securing of the $100,000,000 fund. Mr. Chapman serv- ed as a member of the committee of five, with Clarance E. Clough of Lebanon, N. H., E. H. Rhoades, Jr., of Toledo, O., ‘Willlam McKercher of Des Moines, Ta., and James R. Foree of Lincoln, Neb,, which brought In the resolutions to the Indianapo'is meeting, favoring the for- mation of assoclational organizations of laymen, Under the plan proposed the laymen will be asked to evolve a plan of tithing and stewardship including stewardship of life, of time and of prop- erty. The recommendation which was final- ly adopted at the Indianapolis meeting. which pertains to the organization of laymen, read as follows: - “That the organization of laymen to be effected, be of a permanent nature, and that the laymen be asked to re- €pond not only to a call for Immediate service, not only to a call for a week of service or for a year of service, but for a life of service: to a call which has come down through the centurles to every Christian soul. those simple words of the Master ‘Follow Me.'" Connecticut Baptis's have made a good showing thus far in the efforts for the $100,000,000 goal, under the les ership of the Rev. Horace B. Sloat, state director of promotion. This state has stood near the top in the proportionate amount of money collected the past year toward the fund. MISSION FOLLOW-UP SERMON BY REV. MYLES P. GALVIN Yesterday, the first Sunday in Ad- vent, the epistle read in the masses in the Catholic churches was Romans xiil 11-14, and the gospel was Luke xxi. 25- 33, the S<viour's predictions of the signs which will foretell His second com- ing. At the high mass In St. Patrick's church Rev. Myles P. Galvin summed up the results of the recent two weeks' parish mission, making the polnt that what had seemed a magnificent success, in ardor, enthusiasm, parish spirit, at- tendance and Indlvidual repentance must prove a permanent success only If the parishioners persevere in their good res- olutfons. ‘The preacher Impressed hearers the fact that, although many may despair, it really is possible for men to keep out of sin, because ‘the Scriptures have recorded God's promise not to let man be tempted beyond his strength to withstand temptation. But a sinless life is Impossib’e if Chris- tlans put themselves In the way of temptation, by seeking persons, places or conditions which before have caused them to commit sin. Man cannot re- main in a_sinless state without the grace and help of God; henct the neces- sity of constant praver and the afd of the sacraments, in the battle with the devll, who never forgets man's vulner- able points, nmever ceases to Wage war- fare against every human being while life lasts. 7 During the offertory at this mass, Bal- ley's Ave Maria was sung In rounded tones and with fine enunciation and ex- pression by John F.

Nov. 27.—James Bal . famiarly known by his great Ro:t of friends all over New England as ‘Round Hill" Paimer, died Sa y ening at his home in Lisbon, in the seve enty-eighth year of his age. Mr. Pa neer, ak tiyity, had been ill and confined to his bed for several months, and his death was but the inevitable result of theé cofi- tinued wear on his own constitution. It was his life business and that he loved and knew it well is an- swerable by the goals he reachéd and the sucsesses he achieved. Mr. Palmér came from an old and aristoreratic’ family, his first - ancestors in America being Walter Palmer, who was born in Nottingham, England, in 1598. James B.

C. A. “get togeth- er” for men a very profitable hour was enjoyed. The usual 10-minute period for the opening exercises consisted of the singin® of several of the more popular hymns, the reading of the scripture lesson =ad prayer. The topic for discussion was The Cor- rect Vaiuation of a Man, and after Secre- tary Hill had opened the discussion sev- eral of the men present participated, and following are sotue of the points brought out: The basis of the discussion was the passage of scripture “A man's life con- sisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth” In placing a value on a man the common standards are them ~money, position and achievement. Be- cause a man is rich we say he is worth more than the poor man. The employes is thought to be more valuable than the employe, and the president, the captain of industry, the famous man, are termed great men. The average working man earns betwesn $100 and $500 a year and he is practically unknown, save in his immediate neighborhood; he 1§ anything but prominent; his time chick may be 202. A man's economic value as a worker is less than a house or a machine, though he drives one and makes the other: he iz really superior to both, though he does not possess the strength of either. A man’s real value, however, is found in a very different sphere. He is of value ac- cording as he recognizes his responsibili- tles to others and fulfills the same. He is of immense value to his friends and neighbors; If he is the right sort of a man he is a minister of kindness to those about him. If he is the man he should be, he is simpiy indispensable to his home, to his wife and children, to his mother and father; m father is the sup- port of the family, not only in money matters but in morals as well. He has a value to himsel? in his inner possibilities which if developed and maintained makes him a worth while factor to himself ag well as to others. A man is of eternal valne to God; he is needed by the Almighty, who has a place for him in His divine plan, and ne one save God knows what great posei- bilities are wrapped up in every man. 1t only he enters into hearty co-operation with God. No man should be content with his present attainments or satisfied to remain on his present level Jesus sald that He came that men might have life, and have it more abundantly, amd that means that God has, 8o to speak, in- vested His Iife In every man, and He has a right to expect proper dividénds from , His most valuable investment. No man can measure up to his best and be of the highest possible value without the power: of Jesus Christ In his Iife. we lack He will ill the gap. We should do. our best and trust Him for all we cammot do. After the discussfon, a pleasant social period was enjoyed and light refresh- ments were served.
