Have Used More Safety Devices.

of the United States navy, testified yes
terdsy as an expert in the suit of the
Ocean Steam Navigation Co.-the White
Star line-to limit its liabilities for the
loss Of property and lives in the Titanic
disaster. The witness said that had the
Titanic had a tight deck extending

tery. Sometimes, also, it is a losing fight and such becomes the pitiable condition of thousands because the man is brought into bondage worse than death because the man IS not ruler of his house, master of himself.
 There must be the mastery of the higher over the lower nature. One meaning of your confirmation is that this is the beginning of the fight. The question is where do you put the emphasis and power of your living.
 It is an almost hopeless struggle to contend against the lower nature in a merely negative way, but if we are fortified as Paul was by loyalty to Jesus Christ this will prove a power i'll our lives against the allurements of the lower nature.
 This positive power of the spirit is ore Of the meanings of confirmation. It does not assure us freedom from temp tati0n but gives the pledge of the pos itiVe power of God to be laid hold Of by His children in the hour of need. IL can be laid hold of by prayer and you need never be a shirk or a coward or traitor as long as you can lay hold of this power by prayer. This power pledge in confirmation can also be laid hold of by holy communion ever and again for the ever recurring need.
 The rector of Ihe church, Rev F. F. Graham, Archdeacon J. EIdred Brown of Trinity church, Rev. L. C. Sherburne of St. James church and Rev. AI Mo Lean Goldie of Grace church assisted in the service. At the morning service at Trinity church. Bishop Brewster ad- miIilStered confirmation to five and al the afternoon service at St. Andrew s church to twenty-one.

Rev Chaun- cey 5. Brewster, bishop of Connecticut, administered the rite of confirmation upon class of 12
 After the continuation, the large con- gregation heard with pleasure a strong and inspiring sermon by Bishop Brew ster, who spoke with special reference preaching from the text, Philippians 4:13: I can do all things in Him that st-cngtheneth me.
 In a brief preface to his sermon, Bishop Brewster referred to the special pleasure he always felt in making his visits to Norwich, particularly because of this union service of the churches which is customarily held This time also there was a satisfaction in ob- serving that a good ma jority of those in the classes that had been confirmed had been men and boys and that had been his experience in a number of cases recently. This is a day when women as well as men are desiring to tween our upper and our lower na- lures. IL is well for us to think that the life of purity is natural to Us and that 1t is the life of iTnpurity that is unlsaturfal. Yet there must be the mastery of our desires by the will. The man must hold the reius and drive. The vital question is, who is the mas ter? Here we see the necessity of keeping up the fight 70 retain the mas

BOSTON EDITOR SPOKE.
Told Union Lyceum of President Will
 sons Stand on Segregation,

William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, was the speak CT Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the meeting of the Union Lyceum at the Mckinley Avenue \. N. E. Zion church, giving a. description of the the National Independence Political League had with President Wilson upon the subject of segregation Of the colored and the white employees in the post office and treasury departments of the government. This segregation af- fected the colored employees as to the working positions, eating acconlno- dattons and toilet accommodations.
 The first audience was in 1912 before President Wilson's election, when Mr Trotter said that in consequence of MT. Wilson's statement that he would stand for equal rights between the colored and the white races, the league endeavOred to give Mir. Wilson it's sup port at the polls.
 The second audience was in 1914, after the league found that the Presi- dent was apparently doing nothing about their complaint over the seg- regation which had been put into effect under the democratic administrations
 At that time the presidents answer to them was such that they looked upon it as repudiation of his pre- election promises and when he gave them a learned defense of Jim Crow ism in the federal government. They charged him and his administration with being directly responsible for the segregation policy which had been put into effect as it never had been before in 50 years.
 George Thompscn presided at the LyceuIn meeting and at the con cIu sion of ATr. TrotteT's interesting address a Norwich branch of the National Equal Rishts league was organized with the following officers: William 4. Fields. president; Rev. E.
