Talcott Williams, Qean of the Columbia School -ament conference at Washington had accomplished more than had been con- sidergd possible and had three import- ant achievements to its credit in the agreement upon the 10-year naval pro- gramme, the expression of the attitude of the nation§ towards the Size of ar- mies, and the way each nation had been able' to bring its case before the world. This was the second in, the lecture course under the auspices of the Broth- erhood of the United Congregational church, Mr. Williams taking the place of Johme Kendrick Bangs, who was to have lantic City. In_introducing the speaker, President E. N” Gibbs of the Brotherhood express- ed the regret felt at Mr. Bamgs' illness, and Mr. Willlams also referred feeling- 1y to the humorist's sickness, but said the reports in the last 48 hours were giv- ing hope. . Procecding to his lecture upon, The Washington Conference and Its Future, the Columbia college dean sald that we are gradually beginning to see the prob- lem as it is. All nations can make war but the only one to bring peace Is the one strong enough to make peace, Af- ter years of study to prevent war it had come to be seen that the most import- ant thing in the world was to bring the nations together. This was tried in the Pan-American congress, where we tried to make the smaller natoons see that we desired their good and not their goods. But the small nations made the congress a practical failure by thelr at- titude. We in this country are all descendants of peoples who have turned their ba 43 on FEurope. When in 1920 we were asked to turn around, we refused and kept our backs turned on.Eurome. Nothing could be worse than the Versailles covenant months of 11l health.

He was twice married. was Miss Fannie Ashbey of Mystic who died in 1874 In November 1879 he married Miss Gertrude L. Coe who sur- vives him. Four children are also left by Captain Edzcomb, Roswell S.

The United States is the only big na- tion to treat smaller nations justly, to be their euide and never their conquer- or. In this conncotion, Mr. Williams said he made no excention in the case f Mexico for the fountry that had been aken from Mexico was unsettled and ’ad been made more valuable while we d sunk millions in Mexicon raflroads that the Mexicans destroyed.

It has soived the prob- lem of Silesia and settled the islands between Finland and Sweden, an exam- ple that might well be followed in the Pacific. ~Although the United States withdrew at Versallles, we knew that President Harding knew there must be He knew that it must be tried with the nations th-@ Were able to end war and he knew the experience showed it wise to have them meet aga | in another con- ference. We have -already got what no: one expected possible. After England and Japan have been without the burden of that expenditure for building fleets for ten years, they will not be able to take up an immense naval programme again for it would break their eredit, be- cause the bonds of England and Japan will largely be held in this country by that time. The naval holiday agreed on Js a guerdon for future peace such as the world has never had before. Mr. Willlams interjected a touch of humor at several points in his lecture, once telling his audience that they were typicai of New England andiences where everyone looked as if he could do bet- ter than the lecturer if only given a chance on the platform. He had his hearers laughing again when he refer- red to the transcendental importance of Yap which had been brought out in the ‘Washington conference. No one knew where Yap was, how big it was, nor what it was good for, but every man and womun was right up in the collar to say that if there was anything in Yap that Uncle Sam wanted, they were there to say it wasn't going to be taken away from him. It was much the same with the island of Wake. The Washington conference had re- sulted in a world education in that ev- ery nation had been able to present its case in a way that had never been done before. There is certain to be a suc- cession of conferences held at Washing- ton. A chamber of the small nations to ‘be held at Geneva is also indispensible. ‘and gradually an upper chamber will develop in which the big nations will ‘meet from time to time. This will grad- ually gain in importance, never binding ‘the natigns, but having the Washington ‘conferenee as a guiding light. ! Mr., Willams concluded his lecture ‘with a .suggestion for the settlement of ‘the case of China, which he szid was now a wrecked country but could be res- lcued by a receivership established by ‘a world court of the chief justices of fthe great powers, the United States, France, England, Italy and Japan, ali 'giving of their best to lead a great na- tion to prosperity. a pact.to keep the peace of the world, | treasurer, of New London.

EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS CLOSE, LEAVING §TRONG INFLUENCE The evangelistic meetings in Trinity Methodist Episcopal church under the leadership of Chaplain A. Earl Kernahan of Boston closed on Sunday evening. This service was the climax of a strenuous day in which the chaplain preached five times to fine congregations. Interest was sustained and lively throughout the whole series of meetings. Elmer G. Smith of Providence organized and led a large orus which played agreat part in the success of the services. LeRoy Fielding led the singing on Sunday evenings with {marked success, the echo singing on the closing night being especially effective. This series 6§ meetings was free from any objectionable features that make some such campaigns of doubtful value. The preaching was sane and sincere, scriptural and solid, warmed by a pas- sionate devotion to the Christ. It was distinctly Christocentric. He was held up as Light of the World. The mectings demonstrated the fact that, without any undue publicity, | churches can be crowded to hear practi- cal gospel preaching and the general effect of the whole campaign will be to stimulate a new interest in the things of the spirit. - The immediate results may not be as factory to the seeker after numbers hitting the trail” as such might desire, but” many made new consecration of themselves to kingdom work, and a num- ber started on the way of life with Christ as Saviour and guide. The harvest is ripening and will be gathered in due sea- son. Much appreciation is expressed of the excellent reports of the meetings given by The Norwich Bulletin. The paper was generous Wwith its valuable space and Is to be highly commended for its insight into the mews and city values of scuh services. The committee in charge of the meetings feels under great obligation to the paper for a very genuine service free- ly rendered.
