FIELD SECRETARY TO
TELL OF McALL MISSION
Mr.. Berry Will Bring Latest From
Situation in France to Norwich
Auxiliary

The McAH Auxiliary will hold an
important meeting in the Norwich
Club on Tuesday afternoon at $50
o'clock to be addressed by Mr.. Berry,
field secretary of the association, who
will bring the latest news from the
seat of war in France in regards to
the McAH Mission.
Concerning this mission DR.. John
r. Mott says:
1 have been impressed not only by
the need of this work (the AcAll
Mission), but by the tremendous
strategy Of il, and / am free to say,
having studied organizations in pos
sibiy as many as forty-five different
nations. that 1 know of no society
more Christlike in conception, more
wise in method and plan, more eco
nOmical in administration, more apos-
vitalizing in the impression it makes
upon one as one comes near its oper-
ations. =. E. In anything that you
and I wish to do to release truth or
influences which we believe we pos
sess, ] know of no better way than to
release il by way of the French Re
public. e. Thoughtful people, as
well as the masses, are influenced
more profoundly by what takes place
in and through France than by what
takes place in and through any other
country in the world. .. The Nc
All Mission is destined to have a large
part in the capturing of this strategic
nation and in relating its energies TO
the continents of the world. -.
Are the Christians of America gift
ed with vision large enough TO see the
glory of this opportunity?

LEMONS TRIM SMART HATS.
In the Seasons Fruit Fad-Paim Beach
Designs Rank High in FaVor-Cerise
a Popular Tint in Roses-What the
MiIIiners Show.

The Charlotte Corday shape is one OF
the prime faVOrites shown in spring
millinery. Furthermore, it is one which
is almost universally becoming.
AparticuIar model in this order seen
at the openings Saturday was develop
ed in purple lizere braid, having top
crown of purple ribbon quilted smart
ly For finish it had an American
Beauty rose upright at the front.
Another charming model in a Corday
is in Havana brown, a shade which is
we'll liked this year, and is of chrysan-
themum braid. On the high crown are
chic loops of ribbon in self tint, while
pink cherries are set at the front
Havana brown is the shade, too, of
a close shape in hemp which is banded
with old blue and brown ribbon and
trimmed with standing peacock feath-
ers. There is a fiat bow at the right
side and a smart standing bow at the
back.
Palm Beach models and types are in
the front rank of favor this season.
A sailor in Palm Beach chiffon-gayly
dotted and fiowered-is faced with
blue. has blue side crown and is trim
med with nothing less than Frenchy
sprig of lemons; but it is one of the
most fetching hats displayed this
spring.
To the minds of many women, some
tint of green seems most fitting as the
typical spring hue.
A trig green fancy straw, which
would be extremely smart for early
season wear, is trimmed with a foliage
band and finished with a high stand
! ing effect in roses.
i Beautiful roses, which add so much
| this year to the effect of smart de-
signs, are in the tint referred to as
cerise-the French cherry, which is al
| ways charming.
On a viole ttoque built from chrys-
| anthemum braid, and having a novel
! insert of violets at the left side, the
| top finish is two ends of violet velvet
ribbon and one lovely cerise rose.
/ Lively admiration was expressed fol-
Germaine model in pale pink Geor-
| gette crepe, having a fancy straw
/ edge, high soft crown, metallic f1ange
and flowers, and for finish gray corded

/ of their beauty and style.

CONFIRMATION AT TRINITY CHURCH

State Confirmed Class of Six Sunday Evening Service
Mission Week Services Brought to Close.

holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual
sacrifices, acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ.
In writing these words it is very
probable that st, Peter had before him
the temple at Jerusalem, said Bishop
Acheson. There was no building in
all the world that could touch the
temple. 1t was composed OF individual
stones and each stone was a living
stone. The temple was the chief glory
of the Hebrew.
The spiritual house, the church of
God, is built up of living stones.
Bishop Acheson spoke briefly on the
various parts of the temple. comparing
them with the church of God. Think
now of the doors of the temple, he said.
You open the doors and they let you
into the beauties of the interior. We
must open the spiritual door that leads
into the temple of God.
Notice now that st. Peter enters the
temple, continued Bishop Acheson.
What he sees there is the altar and
the priest standing before the altar.
Worship is going on, a sacrifice Is be-
ing made, and the person who is max
ing the sacrifice is the priest
Each deed done for Jesus Christs
sake, each sacrifice, each unselfish
thought, each word, honestly spoken,
each deed honestly done, is an act of
sacrifice to God. In the offering of our
selves constantly we ally ourselves
with Jesus Christ.
In closing, Bishop Acheson said that
during his weeks stay here he has
tried to put before the people of Nor
wich the supreme and browning acts
of Christian living, the interior life
and soul and their relations to God.
The courtesy and attention / have
received here in Norwich will long
remain with me, said Bishop Acheson.

The announcements of Lenten and

nature provides for the birds and the
