Chief Murphy on Tuesday received word from Chief Gum of Hartford stating that he wanted to get young woman named Eva~ Lamourey of this city, who went to Hartford last Fgi- day and hired out with Mrs. Lavalle of No. 10 Capitol avenue.

GET-ToGETHER MEETING
 AT BROADWAY CHURCH.
Following Supper, Address Was
 Given by Rev. w. s. Beard-Other l Speakers.

Tuesday evening there was a decid- edly successful get-togethef meeting in the parlors of the Broadway Con- gregatfona1 church and the spirit of the occasion seemed to take hold of every man present Something may develop in the shape of a mems club of league because of last nights meet ing and prove to be.of great benefit to the church and community.
 Previous to the addresses, the men to the number of about 75 sat down to a tempting supper which was provided by the Wauregan through the efforts of the ladies of the church.
 After the supper the Rev. E. s. Worcester acted as chairman and, af- ter a few remarks, called on F. J. Leavens. who spoke in vary witty manner for five or ten minutes. receiv- ing generous applause at the conclu- sion of his few words.
 Following MT. Leavens, the Rev. William S. Beard of Willimantic was introduced by Rev. MT. Worcester. MT. Beard expressed pleasure at being in Norwich, explaining that he was at home in either New London or Wind ham counties, being perfectly familiar with them both. MT. Beard also inter- spersed his remarks with more or less wit, causing spontaneous outbursts of laughter throughout the evening.
 Rev. MT. Beard discussed our rela- tions to the church and the relations of the church to the community He told of the present time as being a. time of organization and cooperation in both business and productive lines. He said that the church is an organ ization which is doing something diff ferent--somsthing done by no other existing institution--it is turning out real men. That is the function and mission of the church, not so much as to put forth men of ability but to send out men of honor. truth, integrity and faithfulness. There is 8 great cry for such men, and it should be the function of the church to see that such men are produced.
 The pastor himself can't do this mammoth task. It Is impossible. Too much has been expected of the minister in the past and in order that the church may turn out the desired men 1t is necessary that every man should be vitally related to the church. The minister may be aided most eff1ciently by a club. league or organization. One thing must be understood, however, that the organization must accomplish things in the church and then their ef- forts will thus bear fruit in the com munity. Rev. Mir. Beard further said that this league, (we will call it a 1eague) should have the parish divided into districts and a man assigned to each district, who must keep track of the sick of that district. must shake the hand of church visitors, must do his best for the church and finally to look after the most important body of a1l--the bows The boys sshouId be gathered together in organizations of their own and graded, making all their surroundings as congenia1 as possible These last. the boys, are the most i'm portant of all in the church life, and
