 Herman Rawitser tried unsuccess fully to get passage on the Titanic the new steamer that went down of the banks Tuesday after 8 collision with an iceberg. The boat was tht largest afloat and carried passengert and crew of 2ISO. Of these S6S, mostly women and children, are known to be saved, leaving the num- Der who probably perished at 1912. Some idea is conveyed of the size o1 the boat when it is realized that if il was placed in Main street it would reach from the Baker block to .Sena' $ block.
 A good attendance and very gen. eral and hearty interest marked the meetings of the Men and Religion campaign of Saturday and Sunday. Two changes had been made in the team, owing to sickenss of the men scheduled. MT. Stanley, boys secre- tary of the Hartford Y. M. O. A.. took MT. Kennedy,s place, and Mir. Briggs, librarian of. Trinity college, presented Bible study. Both proved themselves agreeable and effective speakers and leaders. MT. Thurman of Dr. Bartlett's church was secured, in addition to the five on the team, for the Sunday morning union ser vice at the Hollow. The success of this service was gratifying, as being the first of its kind there. And a change of the Sunday afternoon pro- gram, at the request of many men who wished to listen to the discussion of more than one theme, gave room for brief address by MT. Thurman, as we'll as MT. Schutz, at the Springs, together with a consolidation of the institutes into one general discussion, with consecutive leadership by differ ent members of the team. Several boys from West Stafford and the Hol- low participated with those from the Springs at the Grace church. confer ence, and listened attentively and to good purpose to Mr.sStanley's address. A few of the older men were in at tendance there, too, but obliged to keep silence and let the boys have the floor. A feature that completed the enjoyment of the Saturday night sup per of the committee and team were the informal toasts revealing even more intimately the genial humanity and sincerity of these earnest Hart ford laymen. While the disinterested devotion of all the men was thorough ly appreciated, the, presence and sane and enthusiastic advice and testimony of Judge Marvin and d-Mr SchutE added much to the total effect by reason of their prominence in their profession, and the previous acquaintance of many of our leading men with them in other capacities. MT. schutz spoke also at West Stafford Sunday noon. The closing union service left only few seats empty. Judge Reed and J. Carl Converse, temporary chair men of the committee, were called upon for concluding remarks supple mentary to the recommendations of the team, and the singing of the Apollo quartet, in addition to the regular choir, contributed to the effectiveness of the service. These recommendations will be considered by the committee and churches and decision made as to which may best be stressed. A portion of the recom- mendations were: In general (1 or ganize Federation of churches eff gently to handle the five point Men and Religion program; (2) complete the standard Men and Religion sur veys in each church and interchuFch and community summaries through the Federation and on basis of these project five year program of work; (3) prepare at once O reproduce the Men and Religion week end campaign in adjacent towns and villages; I4) each church to organize for aggressive efficient work with and for boys and men, with committees responsible for the full five point program; in partic- ular the continuation and enlargement of the present union s. s. teacher training class; plan for religious gatherings in halls, in country meet in houses and in open air in summer; i; conduct missionary educational cam paign and every member canvass through committee in local church with representatives of various or ganizations and through interdenomi national rallies; in each church one man champion for boys with commit tee, boys department of s. &, sex in struction through parents if possible or Christian doctor or church WozbsE,
