occupy Serel Point ana the Svorb
peninsula, on the southwestern coast.
1t now develops that the Germans
did not occupy Dago Island, north Of
Oesel and at the head of the Gulf of
Finland, but contented themselves
with making a demonstration against
it. Premier Kerensky in an urgent
appeal to the Baltic fleet Gin this hour

garrison of Kronstadt, the chief
fortress and military port of Russia,
and the station of the Baltic fleet,
twenty miles west of Petrograd, by
its attitude already has weakenedethe
defensive resources of the fortress.
Mighty Armada.
Eight dreadnaughts, dozen light
cruisers, forty torpedo boats AMI
thirty mine sweepers participated in
the German landing on Oesel Island.
The people of Petrograd received the
news calmly. The newspapers pub
lish interviews with some of the Cabi-
net members and others, who agree
that while the operation seriously af-
fects Russia's strategic josition, it
does not constitute an immediate
menace to the Russian capital.
Premier Kerensky today sent a
telegram to the communicative chief
of the northern armies, in which he
said:
| Hour of Trial.
"Tell the redoubtable Baltic fleet
that the hour of trial has arrived.
Russia expects for her safety a
valiant effort by the navy and l, as
generalissimo, demand that the sail
ors make sacrifices.

CONQUERS RHEUMATISM
 IN A VERY FEW DAY c

It Is an established fact that one- half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken once day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked. crippled and despairing rheumatics during the last five years.
 Powerful and sure, quick acting, yet harmless: Rheuma gives blessed relief almost at once. The magic name has reached every hamlet in the land and there is hardly a drug gist anywhere who cannot tell you of almost marvellous cures.
 If you are tortured with rheuma- tism or sciatica, you can get bottle of Rheuma from The Clark & Brain erd Co.,, or any druggist for not more than 50 cents with the understand ing that if 1t does not completely drive rheumatic poisons from your system-money back.

soul" That is just the experience of us who are church school workers From week to week, and from month to month we can see only the shad- ows. Tonight we want to see the high lights, for there are high lights there are leaps forward that we have made. there are splendid contribu- tionS that you and l have made to the lives of the 600 odd youth put into our care for character building, and the glorious incentive is before us that there are still greater things that we are planning to dc., These two things are the high lights that I want to throw against you" shadows, what we have done, what we plan to do.
 Have we done anything the past year. Let us see. By actual count there are at least 22 lines of marked growth and only one line of regres- sion
 Budget Used for First Time.
 This year we have had a budget for the first time. The church voted for our uses $400. This has been a de cided success. At the beginning of the year we had a debt of S250 for the junior piano. Not only have we paid every cent of that debt but we have also come out without exceed ing our budget. And what is more we have all been better satisfied with the new arrangement. We know what we can legitimately spend and we can develop the school with a free con- science.
 Our round tables have continued effective. A new experiment has been tried to cement the departments closer within their own lines. TnI stead of having each session devoted to the consideration of matters per taining to the school as whole two out of every three sessions have been departmental sessions. By that means the principal of the department has been able to assume moro direct re- sponsibility for his department and the teachers have come to feel more of an interest in the department as a whole. With this departmental work we have still continued to have our delightful fellowship as a school.
 Cabinet Organized.
 . Another distinct advance over pre- vious years has been the organization of a cabinet. The cabinet consists of all of the responsible departmental heads and although it has been only operating since this fall some very

school of this church are the back bone of the club now. These are the marks of progress I see standing where l can view the whole work. Perhaps this recital his wearied you but to me there is a thrill in every line because I see the Christian man. hood and womanhood that we are building and I glory in being able to have a part in it.
 I said at the outset that there was only one place where we had receded this year. That Is in the matter of our attendance.
 Now what of the year to come What should we strive for? I want to set a definite standard of the fol- lowing things.
 Recreation.
 In recreation I think we need to branch out on some new lines. We need a camp where we can provide camping facilities for all of our young people. We have had one camp, three years ago for some of the boys but we need a more permanent site that can be made available. for larger number and of a more per manent nature.
 l believe that for reCreatlonal pur- poses we need to organize our classes in the Sunday school from the inter- mediate department above with the aim of developing spirit of fellow ship that will bind the, group to- gether more permanently so that when the trying years of adolescence come, when the temptation comes. to break away the bond of love and fe1- lowship may hold. l would recom- mend also in conjunction with MT. Maier the provision of more suitable recreational quarters for girls and boys, young women and young men.
 Curriculum.
 In connection with the curriculum We are issuing tonight a new bulletin that is a revision of the former cur riculum with some improvements that I hope will be of service to all of you. as well as the parents in making plain the purpose of all the train ing work that Is attempted. and will help each of you to see how what you do is related to what comes be- fore and what comes afterward

school It centers about that. But it involves every organization and effort used to train the young people morally and religiously. Nothing is carried on that is not used for this purpose and the school has tried to Indicate on tho bulletin what each particular thing serves to do. More and more this church will have to widen out and do a more comprehen- sive work of religious education. The Gary plan of weekday religious in- struction is not a remote step. More and more is the work approached with an appreciation of the need or reaching out and doing the work more thoroughly. It is no longer a light task, but serious undertaking that requires the best thought and ef- fort. The bulletin is presented with the hope that all the members of the church will catch the spirit of the new demands of religious education more and more and that they will do all in their power to cooperate In accomplishing results that are worthy of ideals.
 Mir. TlljcncS' Report.
 The report of Religious Director Rev Elmer T. Thienes follows:

 In an article which she has pub lished in the current issue of the "Pilsrim Teacher" Margaret Slattery begins thus: "Often for weeks at a time only the shadows are called to my attention. They are pointed out fn conferences. in letters, in discus sions in private conversations. and they loom large or hang low over the horizon. But occasionally l am treated to the high lights, and against the shadows they make a picture that brings encouragement and joy to my

have thus received the benefit that service of that sort brings. The va eaton school had another prosperous year Iii spite of the paralysis scare !, and some 40 of our intermediate and senior young people received service training. One mother told me that there was nothing that had done her daughter so much good as the train ing she had received there. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts come under this general head and both have done splendid work this year. Our troop, of Boy Scouts, No. is considered the leading troup of the city and has done excellent work under MT. Skin ner's efficient leadership. Miss Fox has done equally. striking work with the girls. Our juniors have been trained through the junior service league and the Young Peoples society has done splendid work along this line. Something should be said here about the general condition of the Young Peoples society," Never was the organization reaching so large a number as now. Attendance at our Sunday meetings ranges from so to 100. There arc some grave problems that we must meet in connection with it this year but the organization has gone ahead with leaps and bounds. Teachers Display Enthusiasm.
 Now I come to the teachers. We have seen a growth here. More and more do I find our teachers and lead CTS conscious of the important work they have to do. I find them more enthusiastic about it, more conscien- tious about doing their work and the desire to grow in the work. I find, too, a justitiable pride in the work of the school and zeal to make this the best church school in Connecti- cut and one of the leaders in the country. ] cannot commend this loyal body of leaders too highly.
 We are also taking care of the training of teachers in the school. The City Training school does good work for us and within the school we continue our training work. A group of senior boys asked for teach CT training work and they are hay ing a course that will fit them for it.
 On the part of the pupils I find the development of school loyalty. l find the same sort of championing of this school that we find in the High school. That IS WhOleSOme (nlng that we need to encourage more
 Pupils Lives Dcepened.
 The lives of the pupils are being deepened also. I have had numerous occasions to find that out this year. Our Older Boys Conference showed me something about the boys and numerous occasions for personal con- ferences have also put me in po sitiop to realize the work we have been able to do. It will be of inter- est to all of you to know that it was with a group of Center church school boys that the High school club be- gan, which is playing so large a roll in standing for clean speech. clean living and clean athletics in the school, boys trained In the church

remarkable things have already been 1 accomplished. Each head now feels | that he is responsible for the success
 of this school The cabinet has
 served to spur us to greater efforts ] in behalf of the school and has made all of us do more hard thinking for 1 it. Some lines have already been laid down that are bound to have far reaching effects in the development l of the school.
 In the Sunday school branch we | have organized senior department. MT. Bradley was transferred from the junior department to this depart 1 ment. While the work of this de- 1 partment is new, signs of life are al- ready manifest.
 This annual meeting is. a new de parture for the year. and I believe will justify itself because it will take 1 us all on the mountain tops where we
 can see all of the machinery of this big school at work and see how our work fits into the great plan. The hour of the Sunday school
 meeting was changed to 9:4O. We
 lost some teachers and pupils. But l believe that with the fresher hour for work. and with the increase of children in the church that the cause
 was justified
 In the line of organization efforts
 to have also added to our stock an orchestra. This is not perfect by any means yet. But it is foundation of a very pleasant improvement We have also made some improve
 ments in equipment. First of all the library has gained. 100 volumes were
 rebound. and about 50 new volumes l were added. the interest from a fund becoming available for the first time this year.
 The primary department of the Sunday school has profited along two lines. New tables arc on their way and the very undesirable pictures tha;
 have graced their quarters are grad ually being supplanted by others
 more valuable for the religious nur- ture of primary children.
 Changes in Curriculum. Threo words have determined cer- tain definite changes in the curricu- lum. In the first place some substitu- tions were made in the intermediate department that make tho work of that department much more effec- tive and a missionary instructor was added to the staff of the school to insure d more adequate missionary training for our pupils. Miss Greene has done excellent work and in con- junction With the American board, the Womans board. Prof. St. John and the Director of Religious Educa- tion is trying to work out satisfac- tory plan of missionary education for this school.
 In service training we have also made strides forward. This fall too highly a number of us who have ap- peciated the need of doing a vital work for the children of Cherry
 street through the Burritt Mission
 made an arrangement whereby the Christian Endeavor union of the city would finance the project and the young people of the churches do the work. Young people of this church have already done good service and

It is a splendid thing that the pre-

indeed Incredible. After the great
