Representatives from the Federation of Churches Describe Committees Work Rev. R. A. Breed to Speak in the ChapeI.

At the midweek service of the First Congregational church Thursday even ing there were present representatives from the Federation of Churches, who told of the work of different commit tees. J. B. Stanton. chairman of the boys work committee, was the first speaker. This committee is organized with a man and a younger man from each of the churches, he said. They serve the committee best by serving best the local church. If the church is to have its work carried on in the future 1t must use every effort to keep the boys in the church. There might be club work in this locality, whereby older boys could work for younger boys. The physical welfare of the chil- dren must be looked after The big brother idea should be worked. Find the conditions under which the boy works. Is he surrounded by tempta- tion? Get him another job. Is he earning a large enough salary? See that he does.
 Dr. +. o. Cunningham told of the work of the committee on evangelism. Its object is to seek to increase the roll of names in heaven. Our committee is face to face with peculiar situations. Just what line of evangelistic effort

''Ye shall receive power" The churches l of Norwich have got to wake up to the primary and fundamental facts of the l Christian faith. Evangelistic work is vital work. How can we invest our ! time better than to save a soul from 1 death and cover a multitude of sins? l E. P. Bishop. president of the Fed eration, brought several reports.
