TRIBUTE RECORDED TO
 MISS CARRIE E. HOPKINS
By Connecticut Teachers Annuity
 Guild, Which She Originated.

At it's May meeting on Saturday held at the capitol building, at Hart ford. the board of trustees of the Con- necticut Teachers Annuity Guild passed the following minute for its records upon the death of Miss Carrie E. Hopkins of Norwich, who had been the financial secretary of the Guild since it's organization in 1896:
 The Connecticut Teachers Annuity Guild has sustained an irreparable loss. Its prime originator and it's most ardent. self sacrificing and untiring advocate has laid down her life in it's service and has passed to the Be- yond. The teachers of Connecticut owe, and will ultimately pay a last ing debt of gratitude to Carrie E. Hopkins. to whose far-seeing vision is due the inception of the pension idea in Connecticut
 In 1896, feeling a deep sympathy for worthy teachers, who. through car ing for loved ones or the demand of an exacting profession had been un able to help themselves after years of inadequtely paid service. Miss Hop kinS made a study of what New Jer- sey and Massachusetts teachers were doing to start annuity guilds through which, by paying in small per cent. of their salaries organizing entertain ments and receiving donations from persons disposed to contribute to such an object, an annuity for teachers re- tiring from service after thirty years of faithful work. She felt that this could be done in Connecticut, and with all earnestness took hold of the work which resulted in the organization, in 1896, and the incorporation and char tering in 1899 of the Connecticut Teachers Annuity Guild. Since then the guild has received bequests from many donors additions to it's perma- nent fund have also been made from entertainments, and grants have twice been made by the state legislature thrugh which a retiring fund has been accumulated from which many worthy teachers now out of active service have drawn a helpful annual aid.
 During all these years Miss Hopkins was acting financial secretary, doing a vast amount of clerical work and cor respondence up to the day of her death.
 The board of trustees of the guild desires to record it's testimony to her wise councils, fidelity to the duties of her office and the inspiring quality of her participation in the duties of the board and for themselves and for the members of the guild at large, to in scribe this tribute to her memory dt- recting that it be spread upon the records of the board, that a copy of it be sent to her sisters, surviving, and to the leading newspapers of the state for publication.
 At the meeting on Saturday it was revealed that Miss Hopkins had given final testimony to her devotion to the guild by donating all her interest in it's funds and an additional bequest to the permanent income of the guild.

MRS. AMMAN IN BROOKLYN.
vent Permanently Jas New York Sen sational Papers Declare.

Several New York papers Saturday paid their pernennial attention to Mrs. William c Lanman, formerly of Nor wich, stating that she had left the con- vent, was earning her living by daily toil was destitute, having given all her money to her relatives and to the church, etc. None of these statements are correct.
 Mrs Lanman is still a member of the household at the convent of Marie Reparatrice, No. 16 East 18th street, but as the house is small and a re- treat is being held there she has given up her room for a few weeks and is staying in Brooklyn at the home of friends of a Norwich lady who visit ed her last week in the convent. Her health is such that the nuns physi- clan discourages an enclosed life for her, for the present at least, and ad vises her departure for St. Mary's convent, Hooksett, N. H., in June, where she can spend much time in the mountain air and receive the visits of her relatives from Ports mouth.
 She is far from destitute, as she in herited money from wealthy uncle which remains in trust, ample to pro- vide for her present simple wants. The earning her living" fiction undoubt- edly arose from the fact that she has lately written and sold number of clever and beautiful little stories on religion and other themes
 The Marie Reparatrice convent is to be enlarged as soon as the com munity can secure possession of ad joining property on which it Is the in tention to build. Meantime with classes for needy boys and girls, the trsining of older ones, and charitable work in various forms, the house is far too small for the demand upon the sisters, many of them noblewomen from France, Spain and Belgium, who are getting annoyed by the persistent bounding and inquiries of the sensa- tic nal city papers With characteris- tic generosity Mrs Lanman gave up her room to a strange woman who came from the West to make the re- treat and on being recognized while going to Brooklyn, the sensational stories were started again. She eX- poets to be back in the convent in short time, to resume teaching and writing, etc. as her health permits.

DEVELOP EASTERN CONNECTICUT
Norwich Committee Appointed by Business Mems Associa- ton Expects to Call Meeting Soon-Wll Cooperate With Men Delegated From New London and Wllimantic

Following the recent action of the Norwich Business Mems association at it's last meeting in appointing an east ern Connecticut development commit tee, Secretary Charles w. Pearson eX poets to start after results by callinT an early joint meeting here whic l shall include similar committees whic . have already been appointed by tn.

of men of varied interests and infor- nation to consider the different mat ters which may be brought before it.
 The suggestion for such CO., operative movement in the interests of anything that would tend to the ad- vantage of this section of the state had it's inception, it is understood here, with the New London association, which was first to appoint such a committee. Judge Frederick F. Iati- mer of Groton is given credit for being a leader in this line and has promised the New London association. it is un derstood some vigorous support through the paper of which he is the editor.
 The Norwich association has the matter of the proposed Versailles cut off in which it is desrous of enlisting the aid of the joint committee. Road matters for New London and Windkam counties, the further development of agriculture and the development of manufacturing possibilities are points which the supporters of the plan ex- pect to bring the committees together upon.

NEW PASTOR AT
 CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. Jcel B. Socum Begins His Ser
 vice in the Local Field.

Rev. Joel R. Slocum, formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y, began his pastorate here on Sunday at the Central Bap tist church. succeeding Rev. P C. Wright who went on the first of April to Gethsemane Baptist church in Phil adelphia.
 For the morning service at the church, which was the communion ser vice. Rev. Mir. Slocum addressed the large congregation briefly and earn estly from the text: The field is the world; the kingdom of God is like unto a treasure hid in meal With a personal touch that won his hearers, he spoke of his conviction of the Di- vine leadership in this new union of pastor and people and closed his inn pressive sermon with the admonition that pastor and people were to seek the endowment and personal witness of the Holy Spirit, each depending one upon the other and all on Him, who will touch our hearts until they burn, our lips until they speak the praise of Christ and our hands so that they shall be given to His service and we shall not have our labor in the Lord together in vain.
 At the evening service Rev. MT. Clo- cums sermon was from two verses in Matthew and John: And they straightway left the boat and their father and followed him. What is that to me? Follow thou me"
 With cultivated diction, vivid and convincing reasoning and well chosen illustrations, he discussed the right of Jesus to call the world to His ser vice.
 It rested in His supremacy in the intellectual life. in the fact that he was the greatest social force that the world has ever known and because He more than any other leader that ever lived. inspires in His followers personal devotion.
 The eloquent sermon won many expressions of approval from the church members.
 MT Slocum also led the City Bible class at the Sunday school hour. There was an attendance of 96 al the class and the music was by an orchestra un- der the direction of John P Swahn. The Sunday school attendance was 344

LARGE CONGREGATION
 GREET REV. G. H. STROUSE.
New Pastor at First Baptist Church. His First Sermon at Evening Serv- ice.

There were large congregations at the First Baptist church, at both serv- ices Sunday to greet and welcome the new Pastor Rev. George $. Strouse at his first service in assuming the pastorate Rev. Mr Strouse changed his regular sermon of the morning, giving a short. earnest talk upon the Lords supper, which proceeded the communion service.
 At the evening service he spoke from the theme The Birth of Christ in China" saying in part: AS we trace Gods finger in history we see how each nation in turn fulfills its God ap- pointed task and purpose. Egypt had it's day, once the granary of the world Jesus found a safe retreat there when a babe When the famine was sone in Palestine Jacob and his family went into Egypt, God having already sent Jacob ahead to make provision fell before the onward march of Cyrus Then came Greece and Rome China has been sleeping for centuries God is saying: Get awake and full fill your mission in the world.
 Among the causes leading up to Christ's birth in China the speaker I amed the missionaries, the young men of China being educated in America. The customs business and spirit of the Occident permeating the whole life of that West Oriental empire.
 He contrasted Christianity and Confucianism, in that for twenty five hundred years Confuciansm has held sway in China with the result of moral and intellectual stagnation. Christianity has had less than century and is flooding today China with new moral life and beauty.
 Greeted m Sunday School.
 At the Sunday school at neon Rev. Mir. Strouse was again warmly wei comed by all standing giving the Chatauquan salute Special music was given including a cornet duet by Messrs. Robert w. Otis and L.aRue Bliven Miss Edith Park, accompanist.
 It is very gratifying to the Bible school as it is to the church to have again a regular pastor, and one so earnestly interested in the Bible school and the young people.
