vice at another place to which he had been called and expressed his desire to bring the message of Jesus Christ in his ministry in this church and city with devotion in his heart to help some nearer to Christ There was a spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm in the church, Rev, MT. Slocum said he had discovered and into this spirit of enthusiastic service and devotion to our Lord he desired to enter.
 Rev. Frederick Lent Ph D.. of New Haven, who was the first one to sug- gest to the church committee the name of Rev. MT. Slocum. was the conclud ing speaker of the evening. He spoke of the peculiar bonds of sympathy which he felt for the church, through his acquaintance with Rev. c. NJ. Gal lup, one of his classmates 'at Brown with Rev. P. c. Wright, former pastor of the church, who was a member of his college fraternity, and now with Rev. MT. Slocum, who was his sem mary classmate
 For words of counsel to church and people, the speaker said that moral earnestness and enthusiasm argued a close acquaintance with Jesus Christ and in this age of sO-called diffuSed intelligence it is only the concentrated and consecrated that will accomplish things for God For an example for Us to follow our Master devoted his life to the task of winning the world to Christ, and it is the business of the church to bring Christ to the hearts of men as a Savior
 The hymn Forward Be Our Watch word by the congregation and the ben ediction by Rev. J. F. Cobb of the Church of the Good Shepherd con- cluded the service. Other pastors pres ent besides those participating in the service were Rev. R. R. Graham of Christ Episcopal church. Rev. H. J. Wyckof of the Second Congregational church, and Rev. G. H. Strouse of the First Baptist church. and Rev. G. C. Chappell of Montville.

A formal recognition service for Rev. Joel B. Slocum, who took the pastorate of the Central Baptist church on the first Sunday of this month, was conducted at the church on Tuesday evening followed by a reception for Rev and Mrs. Slocum. A good pro- portion of the members of the con- gregation were in attendance as well as the pastors of a number of the other churches of the city.
 The service, at which Deacon c. Ed ward Smith, chairman of the supply committee, presided was opened at o'clock with the invocation given by Rev. G. c. Pollock in place of Rev. George H. Strouse of the First Bap- tist church, who was unexpectedly de- tained from attending in the early part of the evening. The hymn, Cor onation, was followed by the scrip ture lesson by Rev. C. H. Ricketts of GreenevilIe Congregational church and the anthem, Praise The Lord, well rendered by the quartet
 After prayer by Rev. E. $. Wor- cester of Broadway Congregational church. the congregation united in the hymn, In the Cross of Christ Is Glory, and the address of welcome was given by Rev. Dr. s. H. Howe of Park Con gregational church. Rev. Dr. Howe it was remarked by Deacon Smith, had performed a similar service when Rev P. c. Wright, the former pastor. came to the church.
 In an impressive way Rev. Dr. Howe spoke of some of his impressions of Rev Mr. Slocum, saying that he was a man of positiveness. bearing, as the speaker believed, a message for this people and this city. It is a voice which seems to strike a note of a genius Christianity. There is but one thing that lasts in the world and that is the cross of Jesus Christ It is needed in this age of surgical opera tions in our beliefs, brilliant it is true, but often very destructive to the pa tients. There is a need in New Eng land for Jesus Christ and the want of our age is great preachers. not men to serve on forty committees and go out side to do multitudinous social ser vice. Rev. Dr. Howe left the final word given by Professor Bruce to his students It's great privilege to preach Christ" It pays in reward in fruit, in the consciousness of a faith fully fulfilled stewardship.
 In responding. briefly, Rev Mir. Slo- cum expressed great appreciation of the words of Dr. Howe and of the privilege that he felt in coming to the church and the city, and remarked that his presence in Norwich seemed to be fulfilling a prediction made years ago that he would some day be coming back to New England. He referred pleasantly to a former recognition ser

ICE ON COUPONS.
Plan Now Used by Norwich Dealers
 No Change in Price on June i.

Coupon books for the ice trade have been put into effect for this season for the first time by the Norwich dealers, a departure from former methods. which the dealers say requires consid- erable explaining. since it is new in this part of the country but which is being received with considerable sat lsfaction by their customers, as soon as they understand the plan. In the west the coupon plan is largely fol- lowed.
 Instead of the old method by which the drivers collected cash each day, or at other stated time. for the ice that was put out, the customer is now sold a book of coupons which is good for a total of 250. 500 or 1000 pounds of ice. as the size may be. containing an assortment of coupons for ,, 10 and 20 pound pieces of ice. To the retail customer with ice as it is now at 50 cents per hundred. the 25O pound cou- pon book costs s1.50. Coupons for the right weight are taken out and put in a tin box on the wagon each time ice is delivered.
 There is a receipt in the book which the customer signs when he receives 1t and another receipt which the driver signs when the book is paid for. That no hardship is intended towards cash customers of small means by mak- ing them pay for whole book in ad
 
 payment is not required in such cases. for the dealers will issue the books on partial payments. The occasional buyer of ice can also buy it for cash without having to take whole book, and those who pay monthly have the books charged to them only as fast as they are issued.
 The dealers will not make any change in the price of ice on the first of June but it will remain at the pres ent rates of 30, 40 and so cents per hundred. The retail rate of 50 cents per hundred is not expected to be changed this season.
 The dealers explain that the primary reason for their adopting the coupon book plan is to get paid for the ice which they put out which was never so under the old system. This was because 1t has always been their cus- tom never to split the nickel" as they call it.. That Is, for instance, if a piece of ice came to 40 pounds or 24 cents worth, under the old cash system of not splitting the nickel, the 1ceman took twenty cents for it, This throw ing off of 3 or 4 cents on a large number of sales every day amounted to a big loss to the lceman on the ice that he was actually putCng out, and in the present condition Of bus mess they say they need to get all that ought te come to them. Ne dis trust of the drivers IS indicated by the coupon book plan for they still handle the money, but the coupon sys- tenn saves them much trouble in nak- ing change.
 Another advantage to the customer in the coupon system is that one deal CT will accept the coupons of another so that in eases of emergency the householder can get ice from the wag- on of another dealer than the one he regularly trades with.
