 ARE FINE FELLOWS
Robert s. Ross Writes It Is Privilege
 to Work For Them.

4 former general secretary of the Norwich '. NJ. c. A.. Robert s. Ross, who went from here to Waterbury, later to Schenectady, N. Y, writes as follows to Mrs. Kirk H. Leavens, of lSO Broadway:
 France. April Is, 1918.
 My dear Mrs. Leavens: Out of sight lis not out of mind with me. although l have almost given up all hope of writing letters except to my family, since l came to Trance. You can imagine that the work is very strenu- ous; there is so much to be done and still so many more workers needed.
 But love to think of my friends when get moments of leisure even though there may not be opportunity for letters.
 It is six months now (the third of this month) since I left New York ,ity, and l have had many and varied experiences over here. In spite of iome very hard conditions am thank ul to be well and strong again and l 1bie to render service in such a good l ;ause.
 Until December I worked with one iivision of our troops. Since then I ave been with another division,
 
 )nce we were in an area well back rom the front: since then we spent
 i've weeks at one point at the front md we have been three weeks at a different section. I am writing today from the second place where I still come to do my banking. We are located a few miles back of the trenches, but many of our secre- taries serve the soldiers right up un- der shell fire and every danger. Some are suffering now from shock and gas. But the soldier boys appreciate greatly sall the service which is being | rendered and it is certainly a great benefit to them.
 The nearer the front the more are 1 they ready for the religious services | and Bible classes as well as compan- | lonship and counsel. They are a fine l lot of fellows and it is a privilege to work for them
 We hear the firing of the big guns day and night, and we frequently see I the enemy aerOplanes coming over usi only to be chased back by our aero l planes and anti aircraft guns. l The evidences of the war in many respects are apparent on all sides and | the 1mmensity of many operations and preparations are surprising. We are certainly in it to finishi | Please accept this brief note as a token of pleasant recollections of days gone by.
 Give my kind regards to any friends | who may inquire.
 With best wishes and prayers fo1 you, as ever
 | Yours cordially

MESSAGE FROM TURKEY
 TO coNGREGATIoNALISTS.
Smyrna Missionary Speaks at Confer
 ence of the Six Churches.

The conference of six neighboring churches, Griswold, Lisben, Plainfield, Preston City,, Jewett City, was held Wednesday in Hanover Congregational church. At the morning session Rev. pr. Pollock of Norwich read the scrip ture lesson, Rev. Albert Donnell of Jewett City offering prayer. The spe- cial music rendered by the choir was greatdly appreciated and included the anthems Send Out Thy Light and The Lord is My Shepherd; also the offer tory solo by Mrs. Francis G. Way, How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings.
 In the morning sermon delivered by Rev. Henry W. Hulburt of Groton, who is active in the war work of the New London county Y. A1. c. A. strong impression was made that could be carried out. in daily living He selected the life of David as an example of friendship and spoke of sincerity, unselfshness, patience and loyalty as it's component parts.
 During the noon hour a most appe- tizing repast of cold meat, salad, rolls,
 coffee and cake was served in the au-
 dience room of the parish house. The
 long tables were effectively decorated
 with apple blossoms. After dinner the
 inspection of the different rooms and
 convenient arrangements of the new parish house was enjoyed by those present. The praise service led by w. G. Park prepared the way for the afternoon session.
 The address of Rev. J. Finsley BirSe
 from Smyrna, Turkey, held the close attention of his listeners. Turkey IS the only one of the nChristian countries which has been set aside for Congregational work The only mis-
 sionary board doing work there is the A. B. c. r. M., he stated. Western l ideas. of science and religion are pene- l trating in Turkey today. That coun- 1 try has a most particular place in this war. It is a rich country with unde- | veloped resources including valuable mines. and to Germany more impor- l tant than Belgium, Paris or Poland Germany has for long time been ac- 1 quiring railroad interests; their sys- tematic. study of the situation has re- suited in complete control of affairs The peasant Turk is usually 8 good ! man: if he does terrible things 1t is 1 in the name of religion. In time e1 massacre Turks will risk their lives 1 for their Armenian neighbors. When I see the influences that have molded l the Turks I wonder they are as good
 as they are. I have seen farmers blowing with a crooked apple tree
 bough. their agricultural ways oi threshing date back to the time ot l Abraham. Old time ideas of social life are breaking down; the position of women is being changed; young
 men are getting the benefit of training
 in the athletic field.
 Mohammedanism is disintegrating politically, Intellectually and socially Its religion is going to pieces. ShaI we not try to substitute for their lack of faith that faith that will give tc 1 them the idea of service to others in stead of plans for extermination? Wt l should stand for the conviction thar
 only Christ can make their characters strong,
