The New Britain Christian Endeav- prsunion held its,twenty- eighth annual Banquet in the chapel of the First {. Church of Christ last night, about 290 members partaking of a supper, which was in charge of Miss Anna Ward. Miss Anna Bancroft super v1sed the waitresses and when her assistants had amply supplied every one present, Rev. Warren F. Cook, pastor of Trinity Meth odist Episcopal church, took charge of the post-pran- dial exercises. He congratulated the union on it's fine showing with such large attendance and urged the mem bers to continue their good work Speaking by various members fol- lowed, the iaymen making quips at the expense of the clergy and the lat ter, as one speaker expressed it. Working to Beat the DeviF' in the battle of wits.
 Arthur H. Parker, former president of the New Britain union, was the first speaker and for his topic he had "Past, Present and Future''
 The toastmaster then called on Miss Ruth Schade, of the First Church of Christ
 William Day of the Trinity Metho- dist church, delivered an address on 's1Iinisters." Rev. Henry w. Maier gave very witty talk.
 Miss Miriam Macy of the Newing- ton Congregational church gloated over the fact that the thriving little suburb had been able to keep the membership banner for two years with the exception of three months and naively offered the suggestion that ho 1of+ tIx I a new one be purchased for competi- qon.
 Miss Ruth Michaels of Bristol spoke on optimism.
 Frank Mich oIas, president of the state union had for a topic "The Union." Mr. Nicholas said he wished to speak on the needs and duties o1 the union and would enlarge on that part of President Frank Clark's ad- dress at the Fifth Worlds and Twenty seventh International Christian En daayor Convention, which was held ir Chicago on July 8, 1915, which reads "Then we shall be ready for our cam paign for millions.

A million new christians, a millian new members for our societies, a million new church members, a million new dollars for missions, a million new ad- Vocates of the peace union."

Good influence makes members for the union and for the churches This state has IA, 900 members and the aim of the officers is to bring the to- tai up to 10000 during the next two years.

The pastor cannot do all the praying. The union could Christianize the world with $5OO,0OO and five thousand young people to de- vote their lives to missionary work.

GREAT WATER POWER SITES
AVAILABLE TO STATE0

Washington. - In decision of wide
effect to water power development
throughout the country, the United
States supreme court held Monday that
states possess power to enact laws au-
thorizing the condemnation of power
sites and water rights by the right Of
eminent domain.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Holmes in upholiing the constitu.
tiona lily Of the Alabama water power
condemnation statutes in n case touch
ing the Improvement of the Tallapoosa
river. So -
/" The principal argument said JUS
tiee Homes, els that the purpose of
the Condemnation is not public Que.
In the organic relations of modern So
cicty it may sometimes be hard to draw
the line that is supposed to limit the
authority of the Legislature to exercise
or delegate the power Of eminent do
main. -
s'But to gather the streams from
waste and to draw from them energy,
labor without brains and so to save
mankind from toll is to supply what,
next to intelligence, is the foundation
of all our achievements, if that purpose
is not public, we should be at a loss
to say what is"
