NO PATCHED UP PEACE
(Continued from Paga Onnl

Tn his evening address before the closing session of the national con ference of the commission on church and country life, President Wilson emphasized the need of making coun- try churches more useful He spoke before four thousand persons. many or whom were clerEymen and agri- culturists from all parts of the coun- try.
 The president declared that laws are useless unless they express the moral fellinC of the people. There fore. he said. it is primarily the duty of Christians to better the moral character of all persons. He de- clared that christianity is the most Vltaiizing thing in the world
 Nations are judged by what they think rather than by what they possess" he said.
 Some churches are over-organfzed. the president declared amid applause. He said that he believed that the schools and churches should be used as social centers in rural districts as well as in cities.
 America is great not as govern ment' but as an accomplishment of successful citizenship" he added
 The presidents evening address in part follows:
 MT Chairman. ladies and gen tlemen:
 T think as we have witnessed the processes of our civilization in recent years we have more and more real ized how our cities were tending to draw the vitality from the country side, how much less our life centered upon country districts and how much more upon crowded cities. There was time when America was enthusiastically rural. when practically all her strength was drawn from quiet countrysides where life ran upon established lines and where men and women and children were familiar with each other in a long established neighborliness: but l our rural districts are not now just what they used to be and have par l taken in recent years of something of the fluidity that has characterized our general life. So that we have again | and. again been called upon from one point of view or another to study the | revitalization of the countryside There was a time, no longer ago than the youth of my own father, for | example. when pastors found some of tnelr most vital WOrk Tn the country | churches. I remember my dear father
 used to ride from church to church 1 in thiCkly populated country region and minister to several churches with sense of ministering to the most vital l interests of the part of the country in
 which he lived.
 After all the most vitalizing thing 1 in all the world is christianity. The | world has advanced, advanced in what we regard as real civilization, not by
 material but by spiritual means, and
 one. nation is distinguished from an
 other nation by it's ideals not by it's possessions; by what it believes in, not by what it lives by; by what | it intends; by the visions which iti young men dream and the achieve 1 ment which it's men of maturity at tempt. So that each nation eNalta when it writes its poetry or writes its | continues with artillery, bombs and air torpedoes. A cruiser intermit

Emperor Reviews Troops

BERLIN, Dec. 10 tVia London, Dec. 1D-It is officially announced that after a short visit to Lemberg. capitol of Galicia, Emperor William has re- viewed she German troops on the Stri- pa river.
 The retreat of the British and French expedition in Serbia is being conducted with great difficulty. Their main force has been unable to disengage itself and retreat unhampered, leaving only rear guards behind to delay their pursuers. Instead of permitting them to do this. the Bulgarians and Teuton troops are maintaining the closest touch with their retiring foe, who is therefore forced to retire, fighting at every step. This, it is reported here. explains the loss of six British guns south of Strumnitsa.

A HAM MFR WITHOUT HAM.

"The Velvet Hammer" is feature of certain of our esteemed contempora- ries in Connecticut. The "hammer" is thickly padded so it doesn't hurt much, and plays its tattoo on the toughened cuticle of various well-known citizens of various well-known cities notably Hartford, Waterbury and Meri- den-in metrical measure. To illus trate, if the Velvet Hammerer were to devote his attention to foremost citi- zen of Canaan, for instance, he would go at it something like this:
 HENRY RoRABACK.
 When Henry opened first his eyes on this terrestrial sphere. the elfn Fates, in wild surprise, exclaimed, 70, look who's here" In glee the slender blue bells rang, to spread the tale of joy; ill glee the little birdies sang, "J. Henry is a boy!" The neighbors came from far and near to look upon the child, and marvelled that the new born kid winked at them as he smiled.
 A gipsy queen who read his palm, said, Hell succeed, I think. " "You bet" the neighbors answered her, ':but what about the wink ?" As we'll might they have asked the riddle of the ancient Sphinx-the willy witch would not forecast the meaning of the winks. "The eye may be affected with weak ness of the lid, the gipsy said, "but seems to me he's quite foxy kid
 And so it proved. The lad grew up as sturdy as an oak, and justified the prophecy the gipsy lady spoke. He steered the plough upon the farm, and milked the savage goats; he sowed all kinds of staple grain, but mighty few wild oats; and, as a farmer lad, he summed tobacco and strong drink-but answered pointed questions with that enigmatic wink.
 1 He left the rural acres for the study of the law, for Nature had endowed him with an working jaw; and while he studied Blackstone and the rulings of the courts, he edited this paper and wrote cattleshow reports; Inc moulded the opinion of the public, week by week, and made the eagle scream aloud when he got up to speak.
 But manifold distinctions have beer piled upon his head since first th' gipsy's warning ill his cradle-days was said. He's scaled the heights: thanks to his grit and to his native vim, an( men who seek the highest goals hav' got to come to him. His friend throughout the Commonwealth declar that he's Prince, while others try t "do him up" by slrrs and jabs an' hints. But all the p'izen brickbat that his enemies can chuck, roll off J Henry's manly form like water from duck. While friends and foes alike, who strive to find out what he thinks recall the gipsy's forecast and the rid dle of the winks.

The Little Rose that Died.

My roses in my garden,
 Lift up their faces sweet, With crystal dewdrops jeweled, The rising sun to greet. White, golden, glowing crimson, What could I ask beside? One rose there was still faireF- The little rose that died. There, in its own small corner, It blossomed, day by day; Shedding its breath of perfume, For all who came that way; Each soft pink bud unfolding, Smiled as it I espied; An, how I loved and prized it, The little rose that died. I knew not that the winter, With feEce and icy breath, Meant for my little rosebush, A swift and cruel death; I sought it i'll the springtime, Its mates stood in their pride, Unharmed-but brown and witlareC Was the little rose that died. I planted there no other
 Rosebush to take its place; None has for me such beauty Such perfume and sweet race; None can to me brirg comfort, When swept by sorrows tide, Like those sweet. dainty blossoms Of the little rose that died.

ONE HUNDRED EMBERS.

Unless all signs fail the Canaan Business Mems Association is on the eve of an awakening that will boom it to greater degree of importance and a Targer total of membership than it has yet enjoyed. For some months past there have been painfully in evidence decided symptoms of apathy and indif- ference on the part of a number of m members, and disinclination to take the trouble to come out to attend the regular meetings.
 This may be accounted for, perhaps, to considerable extent by causes within the Association Little has been accomplished or attempted, for some time, and certain matters that have been taken up and apparently well started, have died ill the works CT pt red out from lack of attention on tfa part ot committees.
 This growing indifference and mani fc16 decline of interest has finally so ST ,Ged upon the nerves of some of the f. -hful that a sentiment was ex- prs.,4ed, at the close of last Thursday $ nl2eting, that two alternatives were I.I, .1ediately confronting the Associa- tia.s-either it should give up the ghost or 3ut forth extraordinary effort and ta&o on a new lease of life and activity. 1t vas decided to embrace the latter ex. peilent and effect virtual reOrganiza- tion, possibly changing the name tc CL amber of Commerce. to conform tC tlis newly organized Connecticut CTamber of Commerce which super sedea the State Business Mems Associa tion, and start vigorous membership campaign, striking out for total ot One Hundred Members.
 4 revision committee was appointed b, President Holsapple which will bC ba5ked up by others i'll pushing thi membership campaign to success. Thel' is 10 good reason why Canaan should naG be among the foremost of thu sIunller towns in the efficiency and en terDrise of it's Business Nous Associa ti011.
