Charles E. Larkin, died Monday noon
 at his home in No 6 Crafts court of
 infantile paralysis and blood poison
 ing, being the second patient to die from the disease in Westerly, and the fourth including the territorial limit
 of Pawcatuck, just across the bridge 1 and within the Jurisdiction of the | Westerly pOstOfEice and also one case at Weekapaug. Thus far there have been four deaths in nine reported 1 cases: Edith, daughter of MT. and Mrs. 1 Harvey Perry; Joseph FnlIicette, Jr., | Joseph Christina and Frank Larlin. ! The other cases are reported as i'm | proving. The Larkin boys case was i diagnosed as infantiIe paralysis one | week ago last Friday and was one of l the cases visited four days ago by state and federal experts.
 There is general compliance with the | request of Lewis Stanton, superinten- l dent of health of the town of Westerly, 1 on the part of parents in keeping their | children under 16 years of age at home. 1 In consequence very few children are ] on the streets of Westerly. The order ! of Dr. c. F. CongdOn, health officer of l the town of StOningt0n in this respect 1 is being strictly enforced in the village ] of PaWCatucI1. All children under Is | are now barred from entering or leav- | ing PaWcatuck Dr. COngdOn says there was a case of infantile paralysis in StoningtOn borough several weeks ago, the victim being a Sheffield child from PaWcatuck, who was visiting sA the borough. This case was given the most careful attention and made as good recovery IS possible. There has | been no spread of the disease from that case. Dr. Congdon attributes this | to the strict way in which the people of the borough compiled with the or ders of the health officer.

Hanover Pastor Breaches at First Churoh-Miss Minnie SchuInnan In Charge of sheItering Arms Services Junior c. E. Members Earn $17.

Rev. Herbert D. .Rollason, pastor of the Hanover Congregational church, preached at the First Congregational church Sunday morning and at noon was in charge of Rev. J. o. Barrow's s Bible class. He took for the sermons i text, Be not fashioned according to l this world, but be ye transformed. Many wish to live for the best and ] highest, to do Gods will, he began. In l the rush and hurry we become per plexed and cannot decide What is God s will. It is better to test our beliefs even when we do not know all about them. We cannot know exactly what Gods will is for our lives but we can 1 test what we think is His will
 Two principles in testing the will of God are before us: Resistance and Transformation. By these two forces man may come to be dominated by the | life of Jesus. Our environment shall
 not prevent our worshipping. A man who lives with the eternal the i'm perishabIe, accepts his limitations and 1 thrOug tenn becanes great. In a world without moral struggle, with no re- i sistance, we should find no chance of making a character. Moral resistance against the things that dead and re- tard our action, leads to strength and to transformation.
 The moment we resist temptation that moment we are transformed. When we oppose evil and wrong our natures are changed and allied to the divine energies. Renew your GOV enant, set your heart on high and holy things tomorrow and become transformed day after day, so shall the future be as sured. Then shall we come to know what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Miss schuIman at sheItering Arms.

The service at the SheItering Arms Sunday afternoon was ill charge of l Miss Minnie SchuInan now working under the Baptist board of home mis- sions. The first part of the hour was given to the singing of hymns by a Central Baptist church. After prayer and the reading of the 145 Psalm, Miss Schulnan gave a brief but vivid ac- count of her life, closing with a de- Jcription of her present work as one Of the five teachers among her country men in Cleveland, O., her personal help in over one hundred homes, and her methods in fnStructing classes in the large school established by the Baptist board.
 The sheltering Arms is one of the places that are very precious to me, she said It is here that I first felt Christian influences. A stranger in a strange land, I came here for an op- eration on my eyes, I was born in Russia and came to America, and to Norwich when fourteen years old. I had never heard the name of Jesus in Russia I had looked forward to hav- ing schooling and was the happiest girl the morning of my beginning school because I had what T had aI- ways wanted"
 After 8 few months of school she was put to work. While working in Norwich home she was told, she said, ''The redemption story how Jesus ltv- ed a perfect life and then gave His life a ransom" In the Broadway Sunday school, in a Joyous Christian honle in prayers offered for her, 1t was made plain to her to give her heart to Jesus and let Him come into her life
 A motto in the par1or of the 5SheIt- erIngs Arms reads; Christ is the Head of this House It was this home that

Although it is the policy of the Rhode Island state board of health to confine quarantine regulations to premises where infantile paralysis prevails, or is suspected, and not to a whole city, town or village, so as to prevent free access to and from the state, still fam flies are leaving Watch Hill, fearing that they will be quarantined, because there are a few cases Of the disease in the town of Westerly. This action is entirely unnecessary, especially as Dr. Swarts, secretary of the state board, has given assurance that Q general quarantine is unnecessary and is an injuetice to the public, rather than a preventive of the spread of the dis ease. Due to the fact that the school sessions all over the east are to bede- layed in opening, it was expected that the season at Watch Hill would be ex- tended in consequence. But some sum mer residents take no stock in the old saw that goes something like this: Better to bear the ills we have than fly to others we know not cf."
