TWO INTERESTING SERVICES
 AT THE Y. M. c. A. Allyn L. Brown Addresses Boys Meeting-RevN Q. B. MaeLane Speaks gto Men,

At 2.30 o'clock Sunday afternoon AL lyn IL. Brown eayesa very interesting lecture to boys on The Life, or the Man of Nazareth, Illustrated by beautiful stereoptieen views -.,.z
 The boys listened with rzpt atten- tien,. and doubtless, a..deep impression was made on the minds of these com ing citizens of our town
 Boys Secretary Ely had charge Of the services, and General Secretary tions were rendered on the Victrola, and these were greatly enjoyed.
 At the 3.so mems rally Rev. Donald B. MacLane was the speaker, and his topic was Christ's Genius for Friend ship. The society of the twelve disci- pies is the most remarkable organiza- tion the world has ever seen, he said, because it was created and inspired by the sheer force of the Masters friend ship. They had no constitution or by meetings. They were held together solely by the friendship of the Lord. Though the twelve were each different and opposite in character and disposi tion, yet they were all united by their devotion to their common master. He made each of them not only his friend but made them friends to one another. Their friendship was proof against disappointment, for they disappointed Jesus, and Jesus disappointed them, yet they Stnl were friends. It was proof against familiarity, for they were constantly thrown together; their friendship only deeped. It was proof against pride. for their jealousies and strifes were all overruled and quelled by the Lords spirit. It was proof against the world. for the. world did its best to break Jesus hold on His disciples but failed. It was proof against death, because Jesus died for His friends;- also because their devo- tion to Him endured after He was gone. Jesus had a strong genius for friendship, He has taught, the world the spirit of brotherhood. Wherever men work together, shoulder to shoul- der, for their common good and for a great cause, there is the spirit and power of the Lord.
 General Secretary Hill had charge of the meeting. Music was furnished by Swahn's orchestra, which added much to the spirit of the service.

COAL BARGEs DRIVEN
 INTO SToNINGToN HAR5oR
Others Held Up in New London by
 Heavy Seas and Wind.


 Nearly 4,000 tons of coal, for which dealers in ports east of Point Judith are waiting, were in the weather bound barges at New London Saturday morning Two of the seven tows got away early, but they could only go to Stonington, where they put in to get out of a gale that was raging outside.
 All of the tugs went down the har- bor at daylight for the purpose of trying to go east with their barges. Only the w. P. Gladwish and Reso- lute, which had small tows, were able to go through Fishers Island Sound. Before they reached Watch Hill the wind had risen to the proportions ot a gale and the tugs headed for Ston- ington breakwater to get to safety with no time to spare.
 Tug Charles Henry Williams got into the Race on her way eastward and her tow of three barges encount- cred such a "walloping' from wind and waves that it seemed as if the tow would break up. The McWilliams turned around, but had to heave to and wait for the tide to change before she could getdeack into the Sound and return to port.
 Tug Harold has been waiting for nine days to get east of New London with her tow, and has the long time waiting record. Tugs Aries. Minnie, Salutation and Battler have each been there for several days, unable to go east
