first embodiment of true Americanism He stood for those ideals and pr1nci- pies which all Americans believe in to- day and which were created by the deep religious life of his age Thls had it's limitations, of course. It's SO cial side was limited. Often the church's only warming apparatus was the pulpit, and other things were cruae in kind. But luxuries do not make heroes-and those were hard times. It was narrow. Narrowness sometimes means force It carried them through the fight with strength It lacked the Christian toleration of our day. It's theology was taken seriously, but it's unity formed a rock on which England was shattered. The idea of foreign missions was not then formed, but she saved herself to later aid all the
 Bright Features.
 Bright features of this religious life were it's intelligence and intellectuality. it's clear thinking and strong reason ing. There were few books, but the Bible was better known. Its culture made them the peers of any age. Long sermons were good mental discipline and their pastors were leaders. They maintained Sabbath worship and loyal alists of New England. the Presbyteri-- ans Of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the Episcopalians of Virginia were all deeply religious and ardent patriots. So were the baptists and Quakers. but the Methodist were tory in sympathy. The Congregat tion- alists were the backbone of Washing toms army and by their steadfastness really won the fight.
 Part of Divine Preparation.
 The religious revival which spread over the country thirty years before the revolution under Edwards and Whitfield was a part of the divine preparation and the silent work o1 thousands of beautiful mothers of this age with their strong Christian char acter must not be overlooked. Here started the great battle for freedom which is not yet ended. Battles fol political or religious freedom are find ing way around the world to Turkey China or Japan.

USE OF SMALL THINGS
 IN GODS SERVICE
Basis Of Helpful Sermon at Union Leneen Service by Arehdeacon Plumb.


 The use that can be made of small things in Gods service was the basis Tor a helpful Lenten sermon on Wed neSday evening at the united service held at Trinity Episcopal church, the preacher being Rev. John F. Plumb, St. Johns church, New Milford. One or the largest congregations for these services this season was present.
 Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown of Trinity church read evening prayer, and the visiting preacher spoke from the text in Johns gospel: There is a lad here with five 1oaves and two small fishes" Referring to the feeding of the multitude with which this text is associated, the preacher said that the striking fact about that scene was that Jesus and his disciples felt some responsibility towards them. By a process of reasoning such as we apply today when there is need shown around us it would be easy to show that it was no concern of Jesus and his disciples to relieve the hunger of the multitude. They had brought their trouble on themselves by following Jesus when he tried to escape from them. It is a common practice to seek the cause of misfortune so that we may make it an excuse not to help, but Jesus and his disciples had the Chris tian attitude and they set themselves to remedy the need
 And here we must not overlook the 1ad- It seems likely that he had seen an opportunity in this occasion to sell his wares at a good price, but it is more than likely that when word came that the Great Teacher wanted his loaveS and fishes. he willingly gave them, resiging his chance for great profit, and with joy in his heart came the vision of being of service to the Great Teacher.
 The next day Jesus gave the people his great discourse on the bread of life. and from that time, it is recorded, many went no more after him. They Followed only so long as he gave them bread, but when he spoke of spiritual feeding, they left him. This miracle was forecast of his true purpose in coming to feed the race of men with the true bread of life, and the task is now with us still to carry the bread of life to every nation. As the promise is with us for all time, so is the com mand. We may stand amazed at the task. but looking back on this scene we can remember the lad and remem- Der the lad and think how piteously small seemed his supply, but, blessed by the Master. it was adequate for all needs May not some rich in talents see the vision of something better than money for their abilities, for perhaps the Master may want your store, which, taken into his hand and blessed, will become ample for the need.
