Summoned to answer the doorbell at his home, No. 54 Lincoln avenue at about S.30 o'clock Saturday evening, William L. Fletcher, superintendent of mails at the postoffice. found fifteen of the clerks from the office grouped on the steps to give him a surprise in celebrating his 34 years in the postal service.
 In conjunction with Mrs. Fletcher the affair had been so quietly arrang- ed that he was taken completely una wares and he hailed them all as "born diplomats" as he invited them in for the delightful social evening that fol- lowed Music from the Victrola that rendered all the latest selections, mon ologues by several talented in this line, an exhibition of the modern steps in dancing, and smoke-talks while the cigars were passed furnish ed some of the entertaining features of the evening"
 Salmon salad with green peas, sand wiches, cake, ice cream and lemonade were served during the evening by Mrs. Fletcher, assisted by Miss Mil Gred E. Gibson Miss Hazel L. Fetch CT, and Miss Corinne HolbroOk, and when the time for departure came, MT.

FIRST THINGS FIRST.
Theme of Rev. Coleman in Final One
 of Union Services.

First Things First, was the theme of the sermon delivered by Rev. Freder- ick w. Coleman, pastor of Trinity Metrodist Episcopal church at the service in the Second Congregational church on Sunday evening which was the last of the series of union services. The service was led by Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, pastor of the church, and Rev. Edward s. Worcester of Broad way Congregational church offered prayer. The scripture selection. talk en from Mathew 6, was read by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church.
 The text of the sermon was Matthew 6.33-''Seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you"
 One of the most difficult and yet one of tie most important things is the ability Of seeing things in their right relation and proper proportion, said MT. Coleman. Very often we find peo- pie acting as though everything were of equal importance. The gift of hu- nor is essentially the power of seeing things in their right relation.
 There are some things of first i'm portance and we must place them foremost in life. The meaning of Christ cannot be mistaken for Christ says to put His kingdom and His righteousness first. By His
  ty, love and charity. These are the things we must put first.
 What we need today more than any thing else is the kingdom of God, these abstract things, rather than the material things. It is the same with the personal life. It is because we do not have God and immortality that, having sought and found the second ary things, we find them useless.
 It is said, give men more wages give them equality and then you can preach the kingdom of God to them The promise of Christ was that the poor should have the gospel preached unto them. Men are today, as they ever were, measured too much by what they have than by what they are
 Rev. MT. Coleman said he believes the most important office is the office of the preacher and if he lacks recog- milton, the more he is needed. The preacher needs to assert himself What we need today is the transpos- ed soul, the exalted spirit. We need to subordinate the material things. ot life for the higher things. Every man ought, in some measure, to be inter ested in religion and theology.

 As a husband and father he was

SURPRISED BY POSTAL CLERKS
Superintendent of Mails William L. Fletcher Given Anni versary Greeting In Postal Service Since 1ss0-Felow Clerks Called at His Home on Oneco Street-Socal Evening With Music Enjoyed.

boy in 1880 and served continuously since then, with the exception or one year during the Cleveland admlnlstra- tion, when like others he was out Of the service for a time. During that perlcd he was a clerk in the grocery store of the late Welcome A. Smith.
 His first entrance into the service came quite unexpectedly to him when he was still in his last year at the Norwich Free Academy and had three months to go before graduation one day he was surprised to receive word that Principal Hutchinson of the Academy wished to see him in the of- fee and what was his surprise to ma that instead of a reprimand TOT some boyish pranks in school, the pr1nclpal wanted to tell him that Postmaster E G. Bidwell wanted a boy at the post office and he had been recommended for the place.
 That began the years of conscien- tious and efficient service that he has given the government employ in Varl- ous advancing clerical positions until he is now superintendent or malls, having to do with the despatchtng Of mails, both locally and out of town. In that connection an important point is in keeping the knowledge of post office changes throughout the country and keeping the clerical force under him informed so that they shall des- patch mail matter by the quickest ana best routes He also has in charge the examinations which are held once a year both for city delivery distribution and out of town despatching by which the standard of excellence for which the Norwich force has an enviable name is maintained.
 During his postal service he has at times served as railway postal clerk between here and Worcester when the regular men have been off for any req son. One of his interesting eXperi- ences in getting mail off happened in the days when the steamer City of Lawrence used to take the New York mails from here. That night the boat was laid up through some accident but the postmaster would not see the mails lost, so that he directed MT Fletcher to take a horse and wagon and drive with the pouches to New London in time to catch a train for New York. He made the trip in a heavy rainstorm, lighted on the way by flashes of lightning that helped him tc dodge the dangerous gullies in the roads that he encountered. He made the trip in safety, stayed over night and drove back the next morning.
 MT Fletcher is a native of this city and has lived here all his life. Wher he first entered the postal service the postoffice was in the old Bulletin building on the Main street hill. Be- sides being an earnest worker for the good of the service, he has always beer a popular member of the postoffice staff.

ATTRIBUTES OF HOPE
Defined in Sermon by Rev. MyIes p. GaIvin-Opposed to Presumption and Despair.

Continuing his sermons on The Ten Commandments, Rev. Myles P. Calvin preached at St. Patrick's church Sun day on the hope which should accom- rany keeping the first commandment, having spoken in an earlier sermon on faith With hope comes sorrow for sin, grace to resist temptation and perseverance in right living. Opposites of hope are presumption, which leads men to deIude themselves with the be- lief that God will not punish them for eviI-doing, and despair, which causes them to lose faith in Gods mercy.
 The preacher pointed out the obliga- ton to cheerful confidence tn Gods for giveness, His aid during temptation and toward perseverance in keeping in the state of grace. At the same time, St. Pau1s admonition, In fear and trembling, work out your salvation, is wise counsel for the presumptuous man who fails to realize Gods justice. The mortal who despatrs, distrusts the mercy of the Almighty, who bids us call him Our Father.
