The service at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon was in charge of Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe, assisted by the choir of Park church. Dr. Howe took for his text, My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in greatest promise. he said, because 1t is such an unlimited promise. We cannot ask too much or expect too much of God. The biggest thinking is done by the Christian reading his Bible, in which are the greatest things that have ever been expressed. Dr. Howe illustrated this by referring to a one-time member Of the Sheitering Arms whom he had visited there and who had read the New Testament through 200 times.
 To be true men and women we must be religious. We need redemption. there are sins of the past to be blot ted out. We want Divine help to live today, our supreme neeo is the help Divine. We can't live without faith in Christ. We can't die without faith in Christ. With us Is the consciousness of being fitted for larger life. for have the opportunity 70 live out the best that is in us. God shall supply all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus Every want of the immortal soul shall be met in Him.
 It was a rare privilege to head the beautiful anthems, O Lamb of God StilI Keep Me, and Saviour, Breathe an Evening Blessing. voiced by the choir and it's help nAthe Christian life was spolcer of with great appreciation by members of the household and =others present.

He started out at daylight one morning last week and returned with a gray fox Monday morning he started on another hunt and at 5 o'clock he had ended the career of a gray fox.
 In addition the town offers a bounty of $5 for every fox killed within the boundaries of Westerly, and these oc- castonal flyers helps to buy shoes for his family of Buster Browns. It is always an open season on foxes, and it's safe bet the Brown will get his share of the money appropriated for fox bounty.
