REV. A. L. BEDFORD
 GAVE FAREWELL MESSAGE His Last Address Before Y. M. C, A.
 Meeting For Men.

The first mems meeting of the New Year held at the Y. M. c. A. Building on Sunday afternoon was marked by an unusually large attendance. In addition to the music by the orchestra Miss Vera Blair, whistling soloists en- tertained with several selections. The meeting was led by General Secretary Edwin Hill and after the opening hymns and a selection by Miss BlaiT, Rev. Samuel Thatcher of JeEett City offered prayer. The scripture reading was followed by the notices of the week given by Secretary Hill.
 4. L. TeIfora, former pastor of the Federated church. was the speaker of the afternoon. This is probably the last time Rev. Air. Telfofd will ad- dress the men during his stay in Nor wich and his farewell message was listened to with a wood deal of inter est.
 Rev. Mr Tedford chose as the sub ject of his talk. The Sermon on the Mount He said it is a recognized things during his stay on earth. The first was God, his second though was Man. and tho third thought was His Kingdom and man in that kingdom. Near the end of his ministry, said MT. Mir Tedford, we find that Jesus was endeavoring to leave with his disciples q clear conception of the heavenly kingdom.
 No life can be filled with the right eousness of God until it is pure. In the sermon on the mount Jesus pleads for the consciousness of the deep need of God. For those who are of the kingdom of God, there is a great work, for first, ''Ye are the salt of the earth. That is, the Christians life is a pre- servative life in the community. He also reveals the fact that "Ye are the Light of the World We are to en- tighten men with the great truths of Christianity, the facts of Christian ity in all it's great essentials. The first great essential of worship is the in- dividualized gift, that is, the gift of the individual of his life to God. The second great essential of worship is the form Of prayer. God hearing your prayer in secret will reward you open ly.
 General Secretary Hill announced that the Bible study for men will be resumed on Tuesday evening at 7.15 o'clock, The meeting Is for all men in the city whether they are members of the association or not. The meet ings will close about o'clock thus ai- lowing the men to keep other engage ments,

CHURCHES IN UNION SERVICE
Final One Held at Central Baptist Church-Rev. H. J.
 Wyckof the Speaker Upon Theme The Pearl of Great
 Prce-Unted Choirs of Four Churches Led the Singing.

Some will say that the reconstruc- tion of the social order was that which had been lost which Jesus came to save. said the speaker, but His concep- ton went deeper than reaching to the salvation of the individual, the recon struction of the human soul which is fundamental.
 Rev. MT Wycloff went on to draw a parallel between the formation of the pearl in the oyster and the process of the development of the finest traits along Christian lines in the human soul. Sometimes this process of pearl formation is arrested and the result is only the seed pearls, which are practi- cally vaIueless. They are comparable Q to the better things which have once started to develop in the life of the soul but have never reached the worth of the pearl of great price. Jesus was always urging that men give Him their all, that their souls might show the lustre of the pearl of great price. A conservation service conducted by Rev. Dr. J. B. @1ocu1n, was held after the close of the sermon, and there was also a short after service in the prayer meeting room of the church.
