No man can do any- thing for any one else until God has done something for him. This was the sum and substanoe of the sermon on the Chris- tion Work and His Own Soul given Tues- day evening at the United Congregational church by Rev. Charles L. Goodell, D. D., of New York city. . Tuesday evening's sermon was the third in a series which Rev. Dr. Goodell is glving this week at the United church under the auspfces of the Y. M. C. A. and the Protesfant churches of the city. The congregational at the evening serfvice was lange. At the afternoon service at the church” Herbert L. Yerrington, onganist at the First Congregational church, Nor- wich Town, was at the organ. In the ev- ening, Frederick W. Lester of the United church was the organist. Both added much to the success and enthusiasm of the services. The service was opened at 7.45 oelock with the singing of 2 hymn. The scripture selection was taken from Bphesians and Rev. Geornge H. Welch, pastor of the Chiurch of the Good Shetyherd, Universalist offered a fervent prayer. Edwin Hill, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., announced that Dr. Goodeil's topic for the service this (Wednesday) after- noon will be Wihat About Prayer? His ev- ening topic, Mr. Hill said will be The Passion of the Church. Dr. Goodell was presented to the con- gregation by Secretary Hill. We are quite agreed that rootage must precede fruitage, said Dr. Goodell. It is to this side of our work that 1 wish to call your attention tonight. You can have anything if you are willing to (ay. the S hv the way Ot the cross and sacrifice that ever big victory comes. Every man must find his own Pentecost. The only way any man oan speak words that burn is to e the flame in his own soul. You’ couldn't expect Benedict Ar- nold to write a life of George Washing- ton or Ingersoll to write a life of Dwight L. Moody. They couldn't understand those men. The first thing for every Christian worker to do is to come in touch with God with s own soul. No man can do anything for anyone else until God has done something for him. Jonathan Ed- wards said: “I make it my first business to look after the salvation of my own soul” He was taken to task for that etatement. His was called a selfish atti- tinde. But how could he look after the soul of any one else until his own soul was set right? Dr. Goodell quoted Horace Bushnell as an example of a man who has the divine touch on his own spul. You can see by the lives of these great men who have changed the face of the world that a man has to have himself before he can give To Oth- ers. A creed without life hands on the boughs of time like a last vear's bird’s mest; it is good for nothing until there is life in it. Truth incarnate is the only kind of truth that amounts to anything. It isn't enough to have an intellectual conception of the truth. The only wag.you can experience any- thing is through life. If you have a Chris- tian life ou ought to be doing business with God. If you have had experfence, then you have something that knocks all opposition down. You know what you are talking about. You can’t go out to win others to Jesus until you have the conmviction in your own soul of His power to save. If You haven't had it you can have it when- ever you are willing to pay the brice. When yoiz have it, your whole life, your ministry is changed. Each of us is a min- ister of Christ. WIIl you "accept the call? The service came to a close about 9 o'clock with the singing of a hymn with Mr. Lester at the organ. COL.

There were amcrn afternoon and _evening sessios, with a general luncheon fro groups of men and women at 5.30 o'clock, with special speakers at both. The convention was opened at 10 o' clock by the Rev. Dr. John Newton of Hartford, president of the ptist convention. The de- v was in charge of the Rev. D. A. Pitt, pastor of the Cen- tral Baptist church of Norwich. There followed a preliminary statement by the Rev. Dr. A. B. Coats of Hartford, sec- retary if the Connecticut Baptist cin- vention, which is the body under which the deno ional work In this state 1s conducted. Dr. Coats' statement w brief and had to do with the financial and doctrinal crises, which have become acute in the Northen Baptist conventlon, and in which the denomination in this state has a part. The principal speakers at the morning on were the Rev. Dr. J. Y. Aftchi- son of New York, national director of promotion for the Northern Baptlsts, and the Rev. D. B. McQueen of Bridge- port. Dr. Altchison's talk was entitled “Where Are We?" and had to do largely with the financial showing of the de- nomination in the north. The chief purpose of the meeting was to consider plans for a $15,000,000 con- vention campaign, to reach every mem- ber of the Northern Baptist church in the United States by April 30. These cam- paign plans represent “the most strenu- ous progranr that Northern Baptists have ever faced In their history,” Dr. Aitchison told the convention. The $15,000,000 to he secured in the campaign is a part of over $19,000,000 set as the denominational goal within the fiscal year. Of this sum $2,000.000 will be raised by the women of the de- nomination in their continuation cam- Northern Baptist laymen organ- national leaders will also have a prominent part in the drive. A complete organization has already been set up for the campaign. Bach of the 34 states which comprise the Northern Baptist convention has been divided into districts with 10 to 20 churches in each district, each district in charge of a volunteer campaign director.. More than 70 na- tional speakers, the best known men and women of the denomination, including Dr. Hugh A. Heath, head of department of conferences and conventions, and Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomery, president of the Northern Baptist convention, will aid in rallying forces throughout the country for the campaign. More than 250.000 new members have been added to the denomination during the past two years, and these are expect- ed to be a strong factor in the drive.

Geer of New London to operate Jitneys from South® Glastonbury to New London through the towns of Glastonbury, Marlborough, Colchester, Salem, Montville, and Waterford, 2 distance of approximately forty-four miles.

Said service will commence at such timé as the commission may later determine after conference with the state highway commission as to the conditions of said highway.” SOCIAL EVENING FOLLOWED MERCIER ASSEMBLY BUSINESS A pleasant social evening followed the regular business meeting of Mer- cier Assembly, No. 12 Catholic Ladies of Columbus, held Tuesday evening in the assemly rooms in T.
