For some years the Dunmore. Mass,
Presbyterian Christian Endeavorers
gave S25 a year for missions. The
money was raised with difficulty by
assessing each member 81 year. Two
years ago a friend promised to sub
scribe $25 to the missionary fund IL
the society would raise 500 during the
twelve months. The missionary com
mittee got together and arranged to
take pledges to be paid monthly The
society responded nobly. members
Under a portrait of DIR. Jessup of
Syria, for whose support the society
was working, a pledge chart was hung.
Opposite the names of the "pledgers'.
twelve divisions were marked off, and
each month the treasurer placed
cross mot the amount of the pledge1
opposite the names of those that paid.
At the end of the year the society had
S125. and the gifts for home work were
a second year. This time $500 has
been collected-S175 more than two
years ago. During the past twelve
months. writes Mr. John G. Moffat. the
society also raised S197 for home work.
This is only the money side of the
question. Rich spiritual blessing has
come to the workers, and one young
woman has decided to devote her life
to missionary work.
A London Presidents Plans,
Rev E. b Meyer had not been back
in London after his trip to America
four days when he met the executives
of the Christian Endeayor council and
planned with them for his work next
fall as president of the London Chris
tan Endeavor union. He hopes to
hold fifteen great conferences for
young people on Saturday afternoons
and evenings. and experts will speak
on such subjects as Living In and
Living Out Employment and the
Lack of It" and THE Use of Half
Holidays" These meetings will be
thoroughly organized, and an attempt
will be made to reach thousands OF
young people usually outside the in
fuence of Christian Endeavor. DR..
Meyer believes that Christian Endeav-
or can touch the life of young men at
every point. and he will try to demon
strate the truth of this.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
JIMMY'S JOLT

Jimmy was perfectly honest, but he
WAS careless.
'If that boy said Atkinson the
senior partner, would only steady
down and attend to what he is doing
and use a little common sense instead
of being so Internally helter- skelter,
he'd be all right. I'd have. hopes OF his

you take into the firm in self-defence,
and he's bright as a dollar"

intelligence, after some We've had. He
just needs a jolt, that's all.
well. he'd better get it pretty
quickin growled Atkinson. TNhose
papers he lost on the way to Smiths

want to get rid of anything, just give
it to Jimmy to take somewhere! II
he sat up nights planning how to lose
things with neatness and dispatch he
couldn't succeed betterl"
1t really looked serious for Jimmy.
Brady, glimpsing at the boys briEht
face. felt a good deal of concern.
Jimmy was the sort that appealed to
you-you wanted to help him on. Be
sides, as Atkinson said, there was good
stuff in him But the way he shed re-
sponsibility was dreadful. And his
mother was widow.
Two days later Brady rang the bell
for Jimmy. He handed the boy a
bank book and a. bank bill. Il want
you to take this" he said distinctly al
once to the bank. You'll have TO hur-
ry to get there before closing time.
And be careful how you carry it, be-
cause if you'll look at the bill you'll
see it's a big one-it's a thousand
dollar note"
"Gee." breathed Jimmy. He held
the bill to the extreme tips of his fin
gers as he turned it over. Never saw
one before!''
Then he departed.
Atkinson. during this little episode,
had sat staring at his partner unbe-
lovingly, As the door closed after
Jimmy he recovered his breath.
Have you gone quite insane?" he
inquired
Nope" responded Brady.
He'll lose it, sure as shooting de-
clared Atkinson.
Probably" admitted Brady, still
calmly.
Now 1 know you are fnsane," con-
cluded Atkinson. Then with a shrug
of his shoulders he flung around to his
desk.
Fifteen minutes later Jimmy walked
in. He came as though invisible cords
were pulling his feet against his will
and his usually cheerful face was
chalky white. He opened his lips once
or twice. but no sound came forth.
Then he crumpled UP into a chair.

CANDIDATE GOODWlN'S RECEP-
TON

There is a real treat in store for the
republicans of Norwich today when
the republican candidate for govern
or Charles A. Goodwin, confers with
the republican leaders, addresses the
republican voters in different sections
Of the town, and holds a reception to
which all electors are invited without
respect OF party lines.
There is no denying the fact that
Candidate Goodwin has called 10 his
support some OF the ablest and best
known republicans of eastern Connec-
ticut. and they are very enthusiastic
iu their praise of his many excellent
qualities and ardent for his success.
il Will pay any voter TO go and listen
TO what Mr.. Goodwin has to say with
reference to the proposed laws in the
interests OF labor and of the people

WHERE Do THE NEWSPAPERS
STAND?

The Courant called attention the
other day to the demand of the New
London Day for roll-can vote at the
gave this demand most cordial en-
dorsement. Since then, numerous evil
dences of approval of the project have
been received at this office and it is
plain that the people of the state will
not be satisfied with any other pro-
cedure. In the course of The Cour-
ants article it invited Messrs. Nc
Lean and Buckley to tell the public
how they stood on the question. Do
they or do they not want this plan
carried out? So far we have not heard
from either of them.
Governor Mclean, Do you want
roll-call vote in the legislative sena-
torial caucus?
Senator Bulkeley. Do you want
roll-calI vote in the Legislative sena
torial caucus
How do the other papers through
the state stand on this question ?
Hartford Courant.
If The Courant had a good memory
it would not have forgotten that as
far back as September 18th the New
Haven Times-Leader protested against
the proceedings in the state conven-
ton and was first to give notice that
fair play was a republican virtue, and
that the party had dishonored itself
in the eyes of the citizens by not
paying attention to the minority and
permitting a ballot by roll call, and
The Times Leader expressed the hope.
which was seconded by The Bulletin,
that in all future republican conven-
Itions of whatever nature, the formal
ity of responding to roll call should
be pursued as the fairest and most
satisfactory method of voting upon
and settling party issues. 1t is evil
dent that these two papers have not
changed their opinions. The legisla-
tors should determine how the vote
for the election of senator shall be
taken, but the majority may follow the
bad example of the majority in the
state convention. 1t is up to the ma
jority!
