CONG. MINISTERS HELD
 SEASONS FINAL MEETtN,
Scholarly Paper Was Read by Rev. s.
 H. Howe, D. Q.

Tuesday was a most enjoyable day for the members of the New London County association of Congregational Ministers. It was the closing meeting of the season, and large number were present. The morning paper on the Spirituality of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper was read by Rev. Rom eyn Danforth of New London and was or unusual merit. The afternoon paper on Calvin read by Dr. s. 1T. Howe, was a scholarly and illuminating presenta- tton Of Calvin as the best man of his time. The paper showed that very different estimates of Calvin'S charac- ter have been formed. Stern in spirit unyielding in will. he is never petty or selfish in his motives. Nowhere arnia- ble. he is everywhere strong, arbitrary and cruel, he is yet heroic in his aims and benef1cent in the scope of his am bftlonS. His moral purpose ia always clear and defnite-to live, to shape circumstances to such Divine ends as he apprehended, and to work out as he understood it the glory of God. He rendered a two fold service to Protes- tantism in that he systematized It's doctrine and organized its ecclesiastf- cal discipline. He was the founder of a new church polity which did more than all other influences together, to consolidate the scattered forces of the reformation. Ills famous institution presented complete system of faith based on the Scriptures as the sole source Of Christian truth.
 The generous and tasty luncheon was the expression of the cordial well come of the Broadway pastor, whose guests We were. The meetings of the entire year have been largely attended and the papers of unusual interest.

DRAW OFF MEN
 OF MILITARY AGE State Census Bureau to Begin Work
 at Once.

The state census bureau at Hart ford will commence at once to draw l from the records a list of men of mili- tary age. In regard to the work of the bureau Mayor Allyn l.. Brown has received the following letter from Charles A. Goodwin:
 Hartford, April 5. 1s17 Dear Sir: The volunteer organiza- tion of the census bureac is about to close it's work at headquarters, The census buneau' will be for the future in charge of the state librarian. The census bureau. however - de- sires to call finally to the attention of the towns and cities of the state the following:
 1. The census bureau will commence at once to draw off from it's records a far as the records show. are able bodied and are citizens. It will also draw off a list of non-citizens. If you have kept records to show these facts, reau at once. If you have not, also advise the bureau.
 ?. Please let it be known through out your district. If you have not all ready done so. that the governor de- sires every man who has not answer ed the questions to obtain from your local bureau a blank and fill 1t out and send it to the state library
 3. It is impossible for the govern or in person to write to all the men who have aided in the taking of the census, but he asizs us in this letter in his behalf to express to you and to all the men who have worked under you the deep sense of obiibation which Connecticut feels.
 Those of us who have worked at headquarters desire to express their appreciation of the fact that this cen sus is not the work of any one man or group of men. but t1e combination of the ten thousand men throughout Con- necticut who have labored early and late to make the census possible. This little state has given an example of leadership that is the more encourag- ing because 1t is evidently the result of an effort by all her people
 With assurance of our personal re- gard and esteem and our personal gratitude to you for your successful leadership, we are
 Very respectfully yours,

scious of ultimate victory because of the sacrifice He there consummated
 Christ's Closing Words.
 In the closing words of Christ's life, Father. into Thy hands I commend my spirit Rev. Joseph H. Selden found his theme. Holy week is the most sacred anniversary of the church. Beginning with Palm Sunday, with it's multitude following Christ OCT the palm sctrewn way we pass on through His parting with the disciples. His arrest, trial and condemnation. Today commemorates the hours He hung on the cross. His final words were not spoken with the languor of defeat but with the trustfulness of child who yields to his father.
 We do not mourn a Christ who IS dead. We know He was not vanquish- ed but a victor. He was not a vic tim of circumstance. The cross was no surprise to him. He saw 1t all the way. We reverence the cross today because by the cross the world is re- stored to faith and to Christ. The disciples mourned because thcir faith was taken from them. Not so with us. It is restored to us- Is not this the truth that comes to us today--that the way of the cross is the only way for us? His life is our model-to min ister, not to be ministered unto. We must sacrifice to be true followers of Christ.
