NORWICH UNION c. 2.
Fifty Sixth Meeting at Baptist Church -Inspirins Addresses Afternoon and Evening.

The fifty-sixth meeting of the Nor wich Christian Endeavor union was
 held at the Baptist church on Friday. The afternoon service began at 4.30, in charge of Rev. E. W. Potter, president. In an address at the opening he told Of the increase in societies and member
 ship which has been suggested by Fa-
 cieties and 100000 new members be- fore July, 1911. Connecticut is asked for 1e5 new societies. He spoke Of the see better societies as well as more of them.
 Chords and Discords. Rev W. T. Thayer of the First Bap- tist church of Norwich was the next
 speaker, his subject being Chords and
 Discords. A Christian, chord is in ac- cordance to a spiritual harmony in the
 Lord. He spoke especially of the dis cords-one in particular where in so- ciety a problem comes up for solution that tests the graces. where disaster follows. where one takes the lead, who
 has no tact He spoke of the individual and of the symbol of discord in the life not consecrated to the servfce or Christ. That person is selfish in his own ambition. There are societies which should be done away with. but it is not the society whose power is T can do all things through Christ" He then spoke of discordant individuals It takes two to make a quarrel, but only one to make discord. The society is no stronger than the individual mem Der who gives 1t his support. In order
 to gain the desired increase each one
 must make the most of himself. The great object is to bring our lives in closer contact to Christ.
 Miss Elizabeth Beardwood sang Ruth
 as a solo. with Miss Alice A. Brown a g accompanist. This service closed with prayer by Rev. C. H. Peck of Hanover.
 Supper was served in the vestry of the

MYSTERIOUS ANIMAL.
Bears Resemblance to Fox, Wildcat and
 Wolf, but Nobody Can Classify It.

sI have spent much of my time of life in the woods, but have never seen anything like it," said Alden A. Filling hast of South Kiilingly when speaking of a strange animal shot east of that place Friday. The animal is neither a fox, a wildcat nor a wolf, and yet it bears a resemblance to all these ani- mals- It is about the size of a large fox, and Is of dark roan color, with very long neck, head similar to a fox, ears and feet like those of a wildcat and a tail that while bushy close to the body tapers down to a point and is marked with a black stripe its entire length. Frank Pierce, known as an expert woodsman, in the country east of here, brought the animal down while it was on the run. He had seen it's tracks in the snow several times Of late, followed it to where it had climb ed tree, and finally in company with MT. Tillingihast went out to hunt for it. They were able to locate fresh track and finally came upon the animal. They described it as running with it's long neck stretched full length, head down and tall arched. No one who has seen the animal has been able to classify it. It will be brought to Dan ielson. this (Saturday) morning and placed on exhibition at Hoyle's on Center street.

There seems to be no foundation for the story going the rounds that the Grant property purchased by E. M. Wheaton, is intended as a site for the proposed postoffice building. MT. Wheaton said Friday that he made an offer. for the property a year ago. but because of the difference in the amount he was willing to give and the sum asked the deal did not go through
 until this time. MT. Wheaton will not be averse to disposing of the prop erty for a postoffice building site if it is wanted for that purpose, but it's serving that ultimate purpose did not enter into his plans when buying it It is close to his other property and

Address on "Count One"

Me- O IhOu Great JenOVan.
 Address on Count One." Rev. F. A. Holden of Preston City
 was the first speaker and the subject
 was Count One. He placed emphasis
 on quality-better endcavor, and cited
 men who could inspire others to better
 things and high ideals. Christ was the
 greatest leader of men the world ever
 knew. We are to find a field for the
 best development of ourselves in our
 love for fellow men. We must have
 better understanding of how to help
 our fellow men. To know what one
 fellow man needs is one thing, to be
 willing to help them is another. Ctir
 opportunity Is greater than our ances-
 tors of old. We need the open mind,
 the patience to investigate the great
 problem. We need the help of organ
 izatfon. We are engaged in a. world
 movement today and God will give us a
 great victory if we work in the right spirit.
 pr. Howe Speaks on Life. The last speaker was Dr. S. IT. Howe of Norwich. His topic was Life. We
 know little about life and yet we may
 find out the uses of life. What are we
 In life for? What are we going to do tions concerning life. The first thing to do, possibly, is to fall in love with
 life. It isn't the place from which we
 start, 1t is the goal. What Q mighty chance it is to live, to make good the
 mistakes, to think of the people about us having endless existencel What sort of an equipment do we want Make very sure of good physical con- dition. Keep clear of all habits which will cut down your life. Intellectual equipment is important. The great
 gates of the worlds success are not open to the ignorant There is no ex- cuss if we spend our lives in dawdling. when there is every opportunity to .cui- tivate the mind. The last thought was of the religious life. Man must be q religious man to be an all round man. especially in the future. Our public life is demanding the highest type of man. Napoleon's question: What has inc done2 is the question of today. A man must give himself to God to do the best work. Serve Jesus Christ. That is the mightiest, most inspired name in all history. Don't live for anything short of the highest. The service closed with the Mizpah
 benediction.
