In their rooms on Sunday afternoon the regular monthly meeting of the Sodality was held with a good at tendance and President J. J.

THREE QUESTIONS ASKED
 BY THE WISE MAN.
Answered at Central Baptist Church
 by Former Boston Pastor.

Rev. Stacy R. Warbuton of Bost II was the speaker at the Central Baptist church Sunday morning and evening At the latter service he spoke of. Christ, the Answer to our Questions:
 He took his text from proverbs 4; [ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. The search for knowledge he said, is the most con- spicious occupation of our lives. Al way, continually we are trying to find out things; to get knowledge The wisdom we gain is sometimes Valua- ble, sometimes otherwise The wise man is he who has much wisdom of the most valuable kind There are three questions which the wise man asks himself
 The first is how many he may make the most of himself.
 To make the most of himself one must accomplish what he was intend ed for. Why are we here? There is no more profound queGtion which we can ask We are not here simply to make a living, to acquire knowledge, to make the best of ourselves for Gcd- How can we make the best Of our selves? Through Christ we reach the influence towards the ide&l. Christ combines the ideal and the power to reach the ideal. There is nauEht Christ cannot conquer or acco4l1 piiSh and if We would make the best of our selves we must work through Christ
 ne second question WHICH IflS WISE man asks himself is How am I to ad- just myself to the worlds life?' Su- preme thought of the century is serV- ice and service is the answer to ques- ton of how to adjust oneself to ones fellowmen The answer is Christ when we ask How shall 1 serve? ?" Through Christ comes the greatest service Those who know service find their greatest inspirations for service ia Christ. Service is taught in these words of Christ: He who loses his life for my sake shall find it and he who loVeth life shall lose it..
 The third question for the wise man concerns his relation to God. What is my right relation to God? This is a question which we cannot escape This is a day of big business and world wide interests but our human relations are subordinate to our rela- tions with God. Our lives are kept going by the power of God. We may oppose Him; we may take an attitude of indifference or disregard. or we may be loyal to Him. Our attitude should be one of willingness to do His will, and then we can make no mistakes

DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies In That Cough and Weak. Worn
 Out Condition

Grippe, pleurisy. pneumonia, these are greatly to be feared at this time of the year.
 ATo prevent grippe from being fol- lowed by either pleurisy or pneumon- ia, it is important to drive the last traces of it out of the system quick ly.
 Our advice is to take Vinol, our de lieious cod liver and iron preparation without oil, and get your strength and vitality back quickly.
 Mrs. A. A. Crabill of Strasvurg, Va, says: Grippe left me weak, run down and with a severe cough from which suffered four years. I tried different remedies, but nothing seemed to do me any good until I took Vinol, from which I received great benefit. My cough is almost entirely gone. and am strong and well again. and am glad to recommend VinoI to others who suffer as 1 did"
 Try NinoI with the certainty that if it does not benefit you we will give back your money. Broadway Phar- macy, G. G. Engler. Norwich, Conn.

would gladly welcome in those younger to the service of the Master.
 At this point the bishop interposed word of a personal nature which he said would not be inappropriate, Tor it was an acknowled cement of the aid which the Sunday schools of Connec- ticut had been to the work in western Colorado because their collections at Advent had been put into the mission field over which he was presiding The money had been used for building a little church in western Colorado; It was a splendid sum that had been given by the Connecticut Sunday schools, the bishop said, amounting to S960, and the schools could feel that it had gone to very definite and tangible work, for this little church would minister to people in the ranch country for miles around.
 Mention was made in the course of the sermon of the strength and help which the late J. P. Morgan found in the services of the church. To the confirmation class the bishop said that what they were to do was all summed up in the two fold law of love: Thou shalt love the Lord with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thy self.
 Impened by such a love as God wants us to have for him. we shall love righteousness and hate evil, hate baseness that there is too much of in the world Wes sshall stand up for the right against the wrong It will be something more than a mere negative amiable Christia nity There are too many of such already. We want posi- tive Christians. Such love for God calls for service. in your church and in your family. There religion gets a practical exercise and also in your business The love of God means calm reliance upon him. loyalty and faithfulness Nor should you be dis couraged if you do not see much ac- i~1, a1y nrn bn could say Tt is finished.' He is of infinite love and he asks of you an infinite desire to serve and follow him.
 The collection taken at the united service was to be at the disposal of Bishop Brewster of the diocese of Con- Eecticut.

MISSIONARY BISHOP CONFIRMS
Rt Rev. Benjamin Brewster From Western Colorado Ad- ministers Rite Al in the Four Norwich Churches Acknowledges Local Contributions Which Aided in Building Church in Colorado.

Rt Rev. Benjamin Brewster, D. D., missionary bishop of western Colorado and brother of Rt. Rev. Bishop Chaun- cey B. Brewster of the diocese of Con necticut visited the four Episcopal churches of Norwich for confirmation services on Saturday and Sunday, con- firming Al persons at the four different services held His visit here began with a Saturday evening service at Grace church, Yantics where there was a class of 14. Sunday morning the bishop confirmed four at the s;3o ser vice at Trinity church, where he also preached, and in the afternoon he was at St. Andrews church, where the class confirmed mum bered four sun day evening at Christ cnruch there was well attended united service ln which the rectors of the four churches participated. Rev. R. R. Graham con dGcted the service, assisted by Arch deacon J. Eldred Brown of Trinity church, Rev F. J. Bohanan of St. An drew's church and Rev. J. R. Cochrane of Grace church, Yantic- A class of IT was confirmed by the bishop.
 After the rite of confirmation had been administered, Bishop Brewster addressed his congregation in an inn pressive but brief sermon in which lessons especially for the confirmation class were emphasized. He spoke from text relating to the conversion or Paul where the great apostle to the Genti1es said: Q Lord. what wilt thou have me to do?' Bishop Brewster re- minded those whom he had just con frmed that this laying on of hands v-as no magic act by which was to be wrought some great transformation
 or by which was to be inparted some great power, but it was done because the candidates for confirmation had expressed choice and had brought themselves where they were asking in the words of the text. Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? It was St. Paul s thought to ask for guidance for ser vice. for work. for something to do. Like Paul, those coming into the church by confirmation should have a holy enthusiasm for the things that Christ stands for, the things the church stands for, and those older in the way

CARPENTERS AND BUILDERS
 AGREE ON COMPROMISE
Wages Will Be 43 Cents an Hour-ln

The Carpenters union and the mas ter builders have reached an agree ment over the recent request made by the carpenters for advance in wages. The new wage scale is to be 43 cents an hour for a 44-hour week and is to go into effect on the first of June.
 Before this change the carpenters had been getting 40 cents an hour, but before the first of April they gave no- tice to the builders of the city that they considered a new schedule ought to be arranged and that they would ask for a wage rate of 45 cents an hour. During the past week General Organizer John E. Potts from Boston has been here to assist in conducting the unions side of the negotiations with the Norwich builders. In former years, when there had been a master builders association, the carpenters union had dealt with the association. but this time the different builders had to be seen separately to get them to agree to the new wage scale.

In contrast to the gloom of rainy Sunday the sanctuary of St Patrick s church was aglow with lines of cleo tric lights at the high mass yester- day morning, and the altars were adorned with the purest of ascension lilies; for throughout the world the Catholic church was commerorating the patronage of St. Joseph, the man chosen, as scrapture records, by God Himself to be the guardian of His too, as the type of chaste man l. hood, protector of the Virgin and Holy Child, the model head of the christian family and home, the pa tron of workers, who, although of the proud house of David labored as a humble carpenter. in poverty and ob- scurity. finding compensation and solace in minfstering to the Infant Jesus.
 The high mass was celebrated by Rev William F. Cavanaugh, the preacher being Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly, whose theme was Charity. The charity which St. Paul lauda, which has for it's motive love for one's neighbor through love of God, was contra cted with the worlds forms or charity, Philanthropy and altruisn- Different points of St Pauls definf tion were commented upon; the chari- ty which hopeth all things, believeth all things endureth all things, which thinketh no evil.
