NORWICH BANQUET
Delighted Business Men Who Attended
 Thursday Evening.

Local business men who were at Norwich Thursday evening for the banquet at the Wauregan house ex- pressed themselves delighted at their experience and in all that was said and done. There is a feeling that such gatherings of the business men from all parts of this section of the state cannot fail to result in lasting good for all of eastern Connecticut. A sugges- tion was also heard that it would be fine if a business mems association were formed in the villages in the town of Plainf1eld, one of the very impor- tant towns in this section.

 The Wingfoot Clan, official organ of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany, which controls the Killingly Manufacturing company at Williams vtlle, devotes it's current issue to what has been termed the KiIingly number, edited by Supt.

toward the needy, kindness to servants
and fidelity to employers.
This is true of many things. The
best paintings give such minute details
as blade of grass, the leaves of the
trees and the lines upon the water most
perfectly. The artistic excellence of a
work IS seen for the most part in the
complete accuracy which the lazy or
ignorant worker cannot or will not
accomplish, Michael Angelo, the Italian
sculptor, was once visited by friend
who said to him, "You have done moth
ing to that figure since | was here last"
Yes, l have softened this expression,
touched off that projection and made
other improvements" "Oh. but those
are only triaes. =" True. but trifes make
perfection and perfection is no trihe,"
said the great artist. So it is that the
highest form of devotion to Christ con-
sists in fidelity to apparent trifes. 1t
is only a love that is felt in the heart,
only an abiding remembrance of Him
as an object that is to be loved forever,
that will enable His followers in their
daily life to maintain the duty of hon
oring Him in word and work, in private
and in public, before His friends and
enemies, in short in every detail of life.
The cup of cold water given in the
right spirit secures the rewards of
heaven. An offense against one of the
Masters little ones provokes the com
mendation and secures the Judgment of
the Lord. A bit Of leaven will leaven
the whole lump. and leaven is always
the symbol of evil in the Scriptures,
hence Paul urges that the old leaven be
cast out lest the whole be spoiled 1t is
as If he had said, all your high flown
conceits are inconsistent so long as you
harbor such things. as tend to weaken
your character or contaminate the
church. One bad member will work
great evil in a crowd; q few liteless
souls in a church work ruin, for their
influence unhappily grows faster than
that of the jealous ones. Prosperity
generally produces Incidence. This is
true in churches. The trouble is that
the indolent ones find delight in sitting
at the door of their own sepulcher and
crying out against severv active living
member who declines to wear the livery
of death.
The best remedy for such cases is to
expel the incestuous person, or remove
the old lump of evil lest 1t spoil the
mass. though it may seem to be trivial
thing must be eradicated lest it destroy
the force and power of 1.-The Gospel and
corrupt the church. - Enough now.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Power of Little Things.

We are daily dropping our grams of
corn in the old burrows. This is par
ticularly true of the tired care-worn
mothers. Her life is made up of an
endless routine of home duties. Only
a multitude of little things to make her
home pleasant. Little things, but such
acts of svmpathizing love will cause
your stalwart boys and lovely daughters
to look back and rejoice in the remem-
brance of their happy childhood forever
precious to them by your trifing acts of
love.
You may think your life is fruitless;
that you have no time to attend to the
little ones, but when you see them en-
tering upon life's work we'll equipped,
you may console yourself that you had
enough to do, and if you faithfully dis
charged that heaven bestowed duty,
when they stand around your grave to
deck it with immortelles, God alone can
tell how far the circle of good may ex-
tend through their influence. l have
known Christian wives to wish that
they could share the burden of business
cares their husbands have to carry sin
gle handed. Do not be too anxious for
this. Whose sympathy and encouraging
words are often longed for during the
day of trials? Who is it that has the
house in readiness, the easy chair in place
and the slippers ready, and who per-
forms the many trlfes which hearts of
love prompt? Ask the tired mechanic,
the care-worn farmer, the harassed bus
mess man or the perplexed professional
man what these trifies haYe to do with
their lives. and they will tell you that
they make the burden lighter and the
drudgery easier to endure. Wait not
then, for some great event, or a chance
to do some grand thing. AS each day
comes do the trifies that come to your
hand. The hour snatched from work to
attend the daily PRAYER meeting; the
Nl9At " N4lC pull LlAS SIN VI Vic dSCd,
the smile, or word of encouragement
you gave; the tear of sympathy, the
free-will offering of grateful love or
hearty handshake to the discouraged
are all trifles in themselves, yet life
spent in this way is anything but triie.
Life is made up of little things, tits
true, and the most successful and faith
full career is record of small things.
Do we long to do some great thing for
the Lord? The best fidelity to Him is
shown in daily watchful service to Him
in what the world calls trifes; in our
efforts to honor Him in humble service
humble service that does not attract the
notice of the world. such as mild tenn
per in our homes, sympathy with man
or beast, honesty in business, liberality
