CONCLUDES MEETINGS WITH SERMON ON EVANGELISM Rev. Dr. Charles L. Goodell, a leading Methodist pastor of New York city, spoke to a good sized congregation Thursday night at the United Congregational church in concluding the series of special addresses that he has been making there since Monday night under the auspfoss of the Young Men's Christian association and the Protestant churches of the city. The usual Thursday night prayer meet- ings were all combined in this final ser- vice. By request, Dr. Goodell spoke upon his own experfence in matters of personal evangellsm. To be a fisher of men, i said, cannot be Jearned out of books. You will have more delight in winning a soul for Jesus Christ than in all the ex- periences you can have in life. The lack of it makes a vacancy unspeakable, the joy of it makes a life ablaze with power. You can't keep your religion unless you share it. We have light that we may share it with others. Speaking of what his father had said to him as he was entering the ministry, Dr. Goodell said that that worthy man's advice was that if he did not have the evidence in his ministry of souls coming to the Lord. he would be a cumberer of At the amnual exhibit of the Chicago |y, ground filling some better man's Soclety of Etchers, being held at the Art| ;j0e and had better get out.

There 13 just as much reason. said Dr. Goodell, for any and every layman to he a personal soul winner as for any and every minister. If you love God as much as you say you do, isn’t it funny that you never say anything about it to those in whom you are interested? He related incidents in his experience in his pastor- ate in New York, where in the first year he received on one Sunday 364 members into the church at the end of a 30-day series of meetings. The same experienco was repeated for nine years There isn’t anything to compare to the joy_of soul-winning, he declared, and nothing will give you such comfort as the knowledge that God has used you to bring someone else to Him. At the opening of the meeting praver was offered by Rev. Dr. David A. Pitt of the Central Baptist church, and Presi- dent James C. Macpherson of the Y. M C.

An examination of Butterworth’s accounts made by State Auditors Whllam P. Bafl- ey and Lewis W. Phelps by direction of Comptroller Bissell brought to light the vouchers showing that $233.20 was taken fgram the state fund proceeds to pay for these two affairs, according to their report to the comptrolier. Four local distributirs in different sec- tions of the state who were present at the banquets, or buffet luncheons, ex- pressed surprise when informed by a Hartford newspaper that Ahe biAs wers charged up to the state fund. Two of them sald they were under the Impres- sion at the time that they wqre the guests of Butterworth personally and the third sald hs gave no thought to whers the money was coming from to pay for it, and had no idea that the expense was to be charged up to the fund. Nothing was said in any of the quar- terly reports made by Butterworth to the comptroller's offica about Including banquets In the expense of operation, but a careful examination Wednesday, of all the reports made to date showed that charges were made during the second and third quarters of last year for “Con- ferences of Chairmen” One of these “conferences” cost the state fund $124.15 and the other $109.05. The mors expensive ona occurred during the quar- ter ended June 30 at about the time Treasurer Butterworth was appealing tothe legislature for prompt emergency appropriations to relleve suffering among hundreds of needy ex-service men, be- cause the regular income of the state fund was being rapidly depleted. The second one came during the state convention of the American Legion last at September. About 45 were preeent each affair. The vouchers showed th $218.20 was pald to the New Haven H tel Co. owner of the Hotel Taft, and that $15 additional wag pald for dec- orations at the hotel.

It showed that $301,906.07 was pald out to beneficlar- fes during that period and that total operating expenses were $14.806.07, in- cluding the $300 withheld by Butter- worth s a salary, without authority, ac- cording to Judge Maltble's memorandum of deciston denying a motion to dis- solve restraining Butterworth from tak- ing $300 a month salary out of the fund. The auditors did not go into the legal- ity of the different expenditures made by Butterworth, belng concerned chiefly in the method of bookkeeping and dis- bursements emploved in Butterworth's office. They reported that the bookkesp- ing methods were excellent and the fl- ing system very good, and made no criticism of the banking of the money: “We have “endeavored to show clearly all expenditures from the fund under the separate headings In order that you may be able to judge for yourself the legal- ity of any or all of them,” says the re- port.
