EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY
 BREAKFAST AT Y, M, C. A.

For the eighteenth successive Sun day, the local '. M. C. A. served home cooked breakfast to enlisted men yesterday, and usual the boys en- joyed the morning meal to the limit The menu consisted of baked beans, fshbails, boiled eggs, bread, butter and doughnuts.
 Several women of the ''Y" auxiliary assisted by young ladies served the breakfast. and the presence of these put distinct home touch to the af- fair. Just before the fellows left the tables Frederick W. Cary delivered a brief and helpful address which was loudly applauded. Mir Cary said in part: "We are very glad to have you visit our city, and we are also glad to have you enjoy these privileges at our Y. M c. A Our men in the ser vice have great spirit of courage and patriotism, and this is shown in many ways. In a recent encounter between our troops and the enemy in France we lost ground and our boys were de- termined to retake the position A French officer rather advised against the attempt. but the spirit of the Americans asserted itself and they re- sponded by saying: Our flag has been forctd back. and We must recover the lost position,' and this they did.
 Let me suggest to you that you think in these days of what you are to do after the war is won. Most of you will probably come back into civil life after the war; there will be many opportunities open to you, and my ad- vice to you is to have definite ob- jective for your life. In order tc achieve. you must have faith in a three fold way: faith in yourself. faith ir your fellowmen, and faith in God, anC if you are thus equipped success vii come your way. We want you to visi our city often; we wiH always be de. lighted to see you"

WATERBURY PASTOR WAS
 SPEAKER AT Y. M. C. A

The Get Together" for enlisted men and civilians at the local Young Mems Christian association Sunday afternoon proved enjoyable to a large number of the former and a few of the latter. Orchestra music was followed by sing ing of popular war and other songs, and after brief prayer Rev. H. B.. Sloat of Waterbury gave a heart to heart talk which deeply impressed the men, and when he finished his address it was evident that a real impression had been made. He spoke upon the topic of The Unseen Helper, whom the men need to realize is near them both in the physical and the moral sense.
 A very impressive part of the pro- gram was the singing of the prayer song Our Boys, Our Men by the ladies who served the lunch. The boys heartily cheered the ladies.
 After another song, the ladies of Park Congregational church served free to all present a satisfying lunch and the cooperation and appreciation on the part of the fellows was clearly shown both in look and word, and when the affair was over there were many expressions of satisfaction by 1 the men as they left the building.

THE PORTEOUS & MITCHELL co.

Testament we catch the voice of the singer in appeal, in confession always mighty and inspiring; We catch also the voices of the prophets In their messages from God, messages of light power and warning.
 In the New Testament in it's be- ginning is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Word made flesh; in its clos ing is the new heaven and the new earth. We find that the new heaven and new earth are in no wise possible without the personality of Jesus Christ There is no social nor pohti- cal reform worth while unless back Of it is the vision. passion and power of Jesus Christ. We have the letters of the apostles to the churches. the story of Paul. I don't see how there is any salvation for us apart from the church of Jesus Christ No life is well lived apart from the light and inspiration of the Old Testament, the ethics and doctrine of the New. The problems to come after the war can rot be settled without the aid of the Fible, and the Golden Rule of Jesus Christ How many of you read your Bible every day? There can be no true life unless founded upon the principles laid down in this Holy Book, and unless back of it is the inn polling power of Jesus Christ.

RED CROSS HOPES
 TO SECURE WOOL


 That the many million cf Red Cross knitters may know tbe plans of the Red Cross for future knitting, George E. Scott. acting general man. ager of the American Red Cross. is sued the following statement on Sun day:
 When the War Industries Board, some time ago, advised the Red Cross that future production of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced we im- mediately commenced to purchase all yarns suitable for our knitting. As result we have today in stock or on order 100000 pounds of yarn for distribution to our chapters. It is hoped that we may obtain some addi- tional yarn from wool unsuitable for government uses. The expected total, however, will be considerable below the 10,000,000 pounds used last year.
 While the total of yarn we can secure is being determined we are studying how to use our supply to produce only garments which are most essential. When a conclusion is reached we will announce our full programme of knitting.
 '.In addition to this stock of yarn the Red Cross has ready for distribu- tion 1,600.000 sweaters. 194,0G0 muf- lleTS, Oof,uVU WFlSIelS, Z-o,OuV HGl- nets and 1 32S,000 pairs of socks, a total of , 674 900 articles.
 We are hopeful, therefore, that these and such additional garments as we shall be able to make will en- l able us to meet the more urgent re- | quirements of our men during the com l ing winter
 Tn this connection it will be of in- terest to the women who have been knitting to know that. from Septem- l Der l, 1917 to June Is. 1918, the Red 1 Cross distributed 5,S75000 knitted garments to the army and navy of the 1 United States. During the same pc riod 870,000 knitted articles were sent | to the Red Cross commissioners in France and Italy for distribution to soldiers, sailors and civilians.
 At the request of the War Indus tries Board, with which the Red Cross works in close cooperation, We have urged chapters and individual workers not to buy wool in the open marke but to secure their materials through our department of supplies"

The Application of Biblical Principles to Life and Character. How can genuine. worthy character be developed, strong. real enduring life be lived. without the aid of the Bible, he asked.
