THE GREAT EXEMPLAR.
Rev. J. F, Cobb Makes This His Sub-
 ject in Lenten Sermon.

At the half hour service at the Church of the Good Shepherd, open ing at 4.30 o'clock Wednesday after nooE, the pastor, Rev. J. F. Cobb. spoke to good sized audience on Christ, the Great Exemplar taking his text from Hebrews Xii:2: Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" He said in part:
 There are various motives brought before those who look forth to their -life's work; many people of all ages set before themselves great individuals as eXemplars. They look upon and follow those who fill large place in the life of the community, the state or nation, whose names are honored, and whose deeds are recorded in the annals of town. state or nation, and who have been so successful in their undertakings that they "have left a train of glory in the track they have pursued"
 Now there is an exemplar whom everyone should follow; but how far does the Christian fall short of at taining moral excellence, because he or she does not strive with the same energy or perseverance as does the brother or sister who is seeking world y gain or position. The Christians aim and model should be Looking unto Jesus, the author and f1nisher of our faith" The closer Christs fol- lowers initiate him, the brighter and brighter will be their path "even unto the perfect day"
 To understand WLy the Christian should look to Jesus as the Great Ex- emplar, we should know that the great object of life is the discipline and perfecting of the soul. Material exist ences seem real; the mountains, rivers, earth solar systems appear before the eye and become realities. But beyond and deeper than the material lies the souls interest. Could we break through the habit of materiahsm we should discover that the outward circum- stances are very uncertain and decep- tive and that the soul is the only real thing among them.
 Having in mind the fact that the souls interests are real and supreme,

EXPECT EARLY DECISION
 ABOUT THERMoS BUILDING
President Walker, Home from West
 ern Trip, Will Select Plan.

The absence of President William B. Walker of the American Thermos Bot tie company on a business trip of two weeks in the west, has delayed a de- cision on what kind of building the company will choose to erect on the lot at the Mason place on Laurel Hill, but the local men interested expect to hear any day now whether it will be the one-story with basement. or the two-story with basement, which are the two plans which have been submitted by the Norwich architects. As soon as this is settled. the archi
 tects can proceed to get out the speci- fications and ask for bids.
 William F. Hill was in New York on Wednesday upon a business trip, and would probably call on President Walker, who has now returned from his trip west. The Thermos president has assured the Norwich Industrial Building company that he is anxious to get here just as quickly as possible and that he will do all he can to for ward the work of establishing the fac tory here at the earliest possible date.

we may take the next step, for this fact must convince us before we can act earnestly for the advancement of those interests. If, then, we are to act, how shall we act, what standard of excellence shall we adopt? The answer comes to us again: Look to Jesus. the author and finisher of our faith" His life became the gospel to all men. He has shown us how we, how all men, ali women, may grow in spiritual excellence.
 We are to place before US as a pat tern, not merely what he said, but what he did. not merely his precepts but his whole conduct. There is not a single precept which the great teacher enjoined which he did not exhibit in his own conduct As men and women contemplate the life of Jesus, they will be moved with the desire to be- come like him in spirit, aspiration and in the actual pursuits for the better ment of their fellow men.
