NORWICH TOWN
Rev. Frederick M. HolIster Preaches at First Church-5eebe Smith Mar riage at Port Chester-Mid August Guests.

Rev. Frederick M. Hollister of North Stonington preached at the First Con- gregational church Sunday morning. ell took for his subject The ProW-. dence of God. The providence of God, the speaker said, grows out Of the thought of God as the creator and upholder of that which He hath made. This view has its deep mysteries. Christians think of God as governing the universe for spiritual ends. Be- cause of mans small place in the uni- verse, there has been difficulty in be- heVing in special providence, but Christ taught clearly this truth. In history great results, discoveries and principles have come from small ob servations made by man. From the viewpoint of the Christians concep- tion of mans destiny, nothing that concerns child of God can be small
 We can find rest and peace in the thought of Gods care for us. All His dealings have their place and influ- ence in the development of character God is in the ordinary things which concern us. Our faith must cling to God in disaster. The price is dear to learn the lesson He teaches of ru- buking the love of luxury, pride and power. He, by the counsel of His will, will show us some day in fuller measure how pain, suffering and sor- row work out spiritual ends and fit us for life abundant, never ending, in realms of joy and satisfaction
