WAR WORK CAMPAIGN s.
 FINAL MEETING TONIGHT

The united war work campaign executive committee decided early on Monday morning that the signing of the armistice and the celebration that was following it during Monday would make it inadvisable to hold the Over the Top in One Day meeting for re- ports on Monday night. It would have been impossible to find families at home on Monday in case the canvass CTS wanted to make calls and besides many members of the teams were out actively taking part in the ceIebra :. tlon of the armistice news.
 The meeting, however, will be held this (Tuesday) evening at the head quarters in the Thayer building as originally planned for Monday night and when the last reports are rabu- lated the workers expect to show that ] Norwich has gone over the top in one day on meeting it's voluntarily as stunned quota Of S100, ,090.
 A most welcome contribution to the United War Work Campaign was one of $109 turned into one of the cam, paign teams on Monday by Rev. Myles P. Calvin. representing the offering of the pupils in the lower grades of St. Patrick's Parochial school. The Yantic baseball club, w. J.
 Crofts, manager, had accumulated S37.93 in their treasury to be. used for the entertainment of the members of the club during the winter months. In a patriotic spent they contributed the entire amount to the United War Work Campaign. preferring to send to the boys lover there" thence to use it for their own pleasure

Rev. Arthur Varley of Taftville Con- church was in charge of a most consoling and inspiring service Sunday afternoon at the Sheltering Arms. He was assisted by the choir, which gave an enjoyable list of selec- tions. Of special merit was the sing ing of Jesus. Lover of My Soul and Some Day by a quartette, Misses Jen- nie Kendall, soprano, Hazel Banfield, alto, and Joshua Heap, tenor, and George FIollingsworth, bass, with Miss Nellie Howie as piano accompanist.
 Rev. MT Earley took for his text Job 23: 3, Oh that l knew where might find Him! He speaks out of the depths of a terrible experience. Job voices not only the cry of humanity but voiced what is the cry of the human soul to come into the presence of God.
 Hardly a man feels. that everything is quite complete until he has a clear vision of the Divine Spirit The Fa- ther is the spirit and those that wor- ship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. We can find Him every where if we seek Him. To find God in the right way is a sweet thing.
 There are times when earthly friend ships are not enough, times when it SttIllS dS II SFCL lHAlIS NdS tsOAilEo wrong, life treating us in the wrong way we yearn for things and yet they are denied us. If we have the desire for God, all these things take their proper places.
