Y. M. C.. A. NOTES.
Many Sailors Visit the Local fAssoci 'ation-Secretary Hill Addressed Prisoners at Jail Sunday.

An unusually large numberkof saill ors from the Submarine Base; and the battleships visited the local "T" on Saturday and Sunday. Nearly half hundred found comfortable5 Tod dgings in the association building Saturday night. and during the day, Sunday, a goodly number of letters were writ ten. Graphaphone music made the hours pleasant for them, and alto gether their visit was made pleasant for the men in the service. The association management is grateful for several gifts of money for and and soldiers, and the kind friends who individually or as societies have thus helped have rendered a most valuable service.
 r. Secretary Hill delivered brisf ad l. dress to the prisoners at the local iai Sunday afternoon on the subject 0. 1 .Discords.' B. A. Prentice fa6 charge of the service and Joseph I Adams played the organ There is a growing interest in ths
 Business Mems Gymnasium class which meets on Monday, Wednesda1 and Friday at 5.15 o'clock. John Swal5t
 the acting physical director is mak ing it inteersting for this as well a, othe releases.

Y. M. c. A. MEETING.
Rev. L. o. Gates Delivers Foreefu Address on. SIaekers.

An interesting meeting for men was
 held at the Y. N. c. A. building Sum-
 day at p. m when Rev. L. Q. Gates
 delivered a forcefui address on Slack
 CTS" He mentioned the fact that
 several new words and phrases had
 been coined during the present war;
 one was sover the Top" and the |speaker said he wished there were
 many more who weuid go over the top in the spiritual realm for Jesus Christ. The word "slacker" said the speaker, is much used word in these days, but there have always been slack Iers, though they were not always ! tioned in the Bible who were real slarkers.
 There are slackers in the church and possibly in the Y. M c. A. Wha! God needs today are those who abound. those who instead Of being s'slackers" are "abounders" and thank l God theer are those who literally abound in the work of the. Lord but
 many more such are needed right here l in Norwich. We need more who abound in their interest in the grand old book, the Bible; the nation that loses interest in the word of God will go down: look at Spain. Sine practical 1 ly discarded Gods words, and she de- toriated Germany is headed the same way, and the United States will stand strong in proportion to her in terest in the word of God. i The singing was especially hearty | the old familiar hymns were used Robert Otis acted as pianist

 martial.

Albert Leanlri of Groton, a private in B company, 3o3d Machine Gun bat talion, will be tried by general court martial at Camp Devens on charge of being asleep at his post. About 4.50 the morning of Feb. II Lieut.. G. F. Stanley of Middletowr, an attached officer in Company A of the battalion, was making a tour of the posts as officer of the guard. He came upon Leandri asleep and awakened the man. Charges were preferred that day in accordance with army regula- Hons.
 The outcome of the trial win be awaited with interest throughout the camp, as Leandri, it is said, will be the first to be brought before court martial in that camp on such a charge. In time of war, laxness in the performance of duties while on guard is considered one of the most serious offenses, and severe penalties are almost invariably imposed. Major Sullivan has asked that the man be tried by general courtmartial
 because of the seriousness of the
 charge.
 Albert Leandri was a tailor, in
 Thames street Groton, before he en- tered the service. He Is about 21 years of age and was very popular among his associates. He has mother and two sisters living in Groton. His pleasing manners and cheerful dispo- sition made him a general favorite.

Day Commentaries Conspiracy and a Miraculous DeIiverance.

The feast, of Purim which Jews all over the world will celebrate on the twenty sixth of February differs from other memorable days in the Jewish calendar in that it is essentially secu- lar and national rather than primar- lily religious. Though a special syr1a- gogue service is held at which the cen tral feature is the reading of the Book of Esther, wherein the story is told from which the feast takes its rise, the day, according to scriptural pre- cept, is devoted to "feasting and glad ness, and sending portions to one arl- other, and gifts to the poor" tE;sther ix:zo.)
 The day commemorates a conspir- acy and a miraculous deiiverance Ha- man, vizier of the Persian king Ahas- |uerus, planned to exterminate on one day all the Jews in the land The day was chosen by lot, and it is this ("Purr in Hebrew), which gives the festival it's name.
