CONCERTED WORK FOR
 MONEY FOR MISSIONS
Bishop Brewster Appoints Next Sun day As the Day For Episcopal Churches

In accordance with the suggestion of Rt Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster, the Episcopal bishop, there will be general change by rectors throughout the Connecticut diocese next Sunday for the first time in the history of the diocese. Every member will preach on the theme of missions, and the plan of the board of missions that eV- cry layman give one days income TOT the emergency fund will be explained and defined.
 At the last meeting of the board of missions, a committee was appointed to secure the help of every member of the church in giving an emergency fund of $4O0,000. The fund is made necessary because of increased obli- gations in part ordered by the general convention, because the success of the missionaries has created new obl1ga- tions and because the board can never know in any one year what the re- ceiptS will be. It is the plan of the committee that every layman give at least one days income not later than June l, in addition to his usual mis- sionary offering. The members and officers of the board have already con- tributed $1O,0O0. All gifts sent to the board of missions for the fund will count upon the apportionment of the parish and diocese.
 q write," Bishop Brewster writes, ito ask the parochial clergy to lose no time and spare no effort in follow ing the matter up. I ask you to put before your people the pressing need in this year of crisis and the privilege of doing what we can to meet the need. Clearly and forcibly should the plan be proposed-the giving of one day's income. This almost every one of us can do. if we will; and gifts large and small are needed. The plan is already meeting with enthusiastic acceptance
 Let me suggest a general inter change of pulpits throughout the dio- cese on the last Sunday in April. It were well if there might be an eX- change between the city clergy and those whose work lies in our towns and villages, all on the same day preaching on the great theme of mis- SiOnS"

TWO DYNAMIcS WORKING
 FOR MANS UPLlFT.
Rev. G. H. Strouse's Description of
 Science and Religion.

Rev. George H. Strouse, pastor of the First Baptist church, gave the shop talk at the Cutlery plant on Tuesday at noon. Rev. MT. Strouse spoke on dynamics, and both are working for the uplift of man, said Rev. MT. Strouse. Without these two .dynamlcs the state of society would indeed be chaotic. We need not emphasize one to the exclusion of the other. Each has it's sphere. In reality there is no conflict between vital religion and true science God being the Author of both, how could there be discord? God is not the Author of confusion-not in the religious world or the scientific world.
 This is without doubt an interesting age in which we are living. The world is always in a state of plux. The tran sition through which we are now pass ing is especially noticeable. We are no longer satisfied with steps; we must take leaps. We are doing everything on a large scale. This is true in the realm of science and religion. The digging of the Suez canal was a mas terpiece of scientific skill on the part of De Leseps, the great French engi- neer.
 We see a greater wonder in the Panama canal of our own day. This latter joins not two seas but two oceans.
 Science is overturning the notions of former days. The rise of new sci ences has produced wonders in the material world. And now the scien- tific method is applied to everything history, religion and theology. What can't stand the test is good only for the scrapheap. Because of this change in the moral world, many are losing their bearings. Things once believed are believed no longer. The anchor has been cut and many are drifting about on the sea of doubt, speculation and aquasticism.
 We are glad for sciene, but it can never analyze God, or even find Him for us. God is a spirit and they who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Science has a place but it can't take the place of religion. The business of religion is to bring us in touch with the eternal.
 A theologian once came to Jesus and was glad to acknowledge him as a great teacher, but Christ said he had to be made over again. The man wanted to discuss that second birth, just as men are now discussing the virgin birth. Science can't analyze the second birth nor the virgin birth. Nico- demus had not fused The crucifxion did the work. This is the business of religion, to give man a new heart. Science is good in its place but it can't produce the second birth.
 When the war broke out in Europe no one asked why science didn't stop it, but why didn't the churches put on end to these bloody conflicts. The Christianity of Europe was of such a negative type that it was powerless. Science can build German submarines, but can't create within us clean hearts. Science can get us on, but it takes re- ligion to get us up.

 Excellence in Work


 From the class of 55 who were graduated in June from the Commer- cial Department of the local High school, 40 have won recognition for their typewriting work in the annual competitions recently held by the Remington and Underwood Typewrit- ing. companies. Of these Miss Ruth Finkelstein and Henry P. KiIey cap- tured the gold medals awarded by the Remington Co.,, and Miss F'inlelstein was said by the concern to have made the best record of any public or pri- 4vate pupil in the state. She wrote 67 words per minute for 10 minutes but the few errors which she made brought down her average to 64 words per minute. Ten pupils were awarded card cases by the Remins- ton Co.,. for a record of 40 or more words per minute and IS were pre- sented with banners for a score of s5 net
 The Remington Co., is making an offer of a $1oo typewriter for next year to the student who can make & net average of 60 or more words per minute without mistakes. and it is thought that Miss F'inkelstefn will have chance to win this coveted award if her work progresses as much in the coming year as it has in the past.
