FORMER NORWICH PASTOR z
 HAS PATRIOTIC CHURCH
Rev. Joel B. sIocun is Nearing Close
 Of First Year in Yonkers.

The Warburton Avenue church of Yonkers, N. T., whose pastor is Dr. Joel B. Slocum, formerly pastor of the Central church of Norwich, has de- voted itself to practical patriotism ever since the United States declared war on Germany. Underneath the big ban- ner that floats from a lofty hag-pole in front of the church, is a service flag containing many stars. Every Thurs day morning a group of thirty or more women go to the church for an atl-day sewing meeting; taking their lunch cons and remaining until the latter part of the afternoon. The several sewing machines that are owned by the church are kept humming all day. The ladies are working largely for the Red Cross, though their activities also include service for the local hospitals and other worthy organizations. Re- gently, in answer to an appeal from France, the Woman's Guild of Dr. Slo- sums church sent two large boxes of clothing for needy people overseas. pr. R. R. Reeder. one of the dea- cons of the Warburton Avenue church, and superintendent of the famous New York OTphanage at Hastings the Hudson, has gone to France at the earnest solicitation of the French gov ernment. to establish the orphanage work over there on the same educa- tional and moral basis on which he has been so successfully conducting it at Hastings. His letters to his pastor and to other Yonkers' friends, are full i of thrilling interest.
 Dr, Slocum is nearing the close of | his first year in Yonkers. It has been a very busy and very happy year | His son Lorimer is a freshman at Princeton University where he is doing
 excellent work: and his younger son
 Jameson, is taking honors in the sem 1 for class in Peddie Institute, where
