CANTERBURY GREEN
Deacon and Mrs. George Rowland Vi- tally Interested in World, War-c. E. Social Success Observance of Lincoln Sunday.

Deacon and Mrs. George Rowland are able to look upon this world war from two standpoirts. Of English birth themselves, they take the same view of it that England does; and, be- ing loyal Americans, they see it as America sees it, too. As with the par ents, as with the children. Mrs. Row land is entitled to a service flag with two stars in it; for she has two sons, one in the Royal Flying Corps of Can ada and the other in the Signal corps of Great Britain, the latter having been in the Boer war also. One of the deaeon's sons, with only district school education, has risen to a high position in business and as a patriotic speaker. Here Is the opening para graph of his address to the High School of Commerce in Springfield: America stands today at the su- |preme moment of her history. She has been chosen as the keystone in the great arch of civilization. Her strong army and fertila brain, her great wealth and vast resources, must bear 1 the measured attack of tiie nightiest the bla ckeEt, the most sinister and the most dtabolicsl military machine that ever destroyed the peace of the world or challenged it's freedom"
 Mrs. Roland is in correspondence with relatives in New Zealand, whose address is Christ Church, Canterbury. The address is significant, it marks the Canterbury cf New Zealand as a re- i ligious place, even as the great one of England. It would seem from this l that all places of that name must be religious. This little Connecticut town of eight hundred people appears to be so, with its three churches; at the ] Green, on the P1ai11,s and at Westmin- ster.

Hawes contributed violin music; Mrs Willoughby vocal solos; Mrs. Brink readings; Mrs. Hoxsie and Mrs. Saver, vocal duet; and the la dies quartet, some humorous selec- tions. For games. tea-kettle and camp ing out, were relished, and 50 were cake and coffee for refreshments. AT gathered about the new piano at the last, and spent a long time in sing ing.
