A Lenten Lecture. L

There could be no more fitting time for the coming of Dr. Valeria Parker than during the Lenten season. Dr. Parker's message and plea for social purity and the work of the Connecticut Society of Social Hygiene are in keep ing with the Golden Rule and the Ser mon on the Mount Dr. Parker's wide and varied experience, not only as 8 physician and lecturer, but also her years of close touch as a sympathetic worker with all grades of society, has given her compelling message.

MINSTRELS' SUCCESS
Hose Company Boys Presented Un-
 usually Good Entertainment.


 Two audiences, each of which packed the Town Hall, witnessed and enjoyed the entertainments given by the Ca naan Hose Company minstrels Thurs day and Friday evenings of last week. The minstrel fire boys fairly outdid themselves on this occasion, and pre- sented the best show in their minstrel history. The listeners showed their appreciation by frequent outbursts of applause, and the laughter during the comedy features, was incessant Most of the "roasts" and local allusions, by the end-men and Harry Waller in monologue, were witty and pointed in some instances sharply pointed-but were taken in good nature hy the vic tims, and the singing and dancing were of an order far above the usual standard If amateur minstrels.
 The first part was we'll set and enter taining from start to finish. Ivanhoe scott, immaculate in an evening suit, was the dignified interlocutor, and the end-men were Harry Waller, Leonard Caldwell, Gilbert Brewer and Albert Pearson, who fired hot shot at one another and at different persons in the audience and about town, and got away without a scar. This part opened with lively melody by the entire company, the musical numbers being supplied by Harry Waller, John Bianchi, Leonard Caldwell, John Arm strong, Albert Pearson, Michael O'Neil, Gilbert Brewer and Stephen Hendry. All the singers were encored, Stephen Hendry being twice recalled for his effective imitation of Fritz Emmett's yOdling.
 The second part opened with couple of moving picture films, followed by ''song speciality" by Gilbert Brewer, who got the audience tongue twisted trying to sing with him, ''Slster Susie's sewing shirts for soldiers, after which the iTrespressible Harry Waller held the boards for half an hour with his little talk and little dance," during which he jOshed the whole community, one by rue, and showed the nimbleness of his feet in fancy steps, accompanied by Charles O'Connell, the local expert dancer who is always a favorite.
 Stephen Hendry, in Scotch kits, i'm. persOnated Harry Lauder and sang a couple of that artists favorite songs, which won great applause, and the en- tertainment concluded with a sketch, ] College Days" introducing the Fire mems Quartette, Howard Lathrop, John Armstrong, Leonard Caldwell and Ivan Cann-an interesting and we'll play skit in which the boys scored hit by their acting as well as their singing.
 Miss Kegler presided at the piano with her usual high skill.
 The performance on Friday night was followed by a dance, which was enjoyed by d considerable number of patrons, young and older.

Christ Church Conservation, Is4e.


 In the February number of Monthly Messenger, Rev. A. B. Crichton gives the following interesting facts concern ing the consecration of Christ Church, and fixes the date definitely:
 "The Rector has discovered that the date of the consecration of the church in the oldest parish register and copied in the two later ones is incorrect. The year is 1846 instead of 1847 The Churchman of October "A, 1846 gives a short account of the consecration as having taken place on the preceding September 22. This date is further verified from the Diocesan Journal for 1847, which records that at the Con- vention held in June 1847, Bishop Brownell reported that on the preceding September g, he consecrated Christ Church, Canaan, Conn. We can now look forward to roth anniversary of the conservation of this church on Sep. tember 22, of next year"
