NORWICH TOWN
Secretary Edwin F. Hill and Singers From Bass CIef Club Provide Inter esting Service at Sheltering Arms Howard w. Geer Returning to FIori- da-Ozias Dodge Reads at Mems League Meeting.

Y. M. c. A. Secretary Edwin F. Hill and double quartette from the Bass Clef gave a most enjoyable service at the Sheltering Arms, Sunday after noon. The text chosen for the ad- dress was, Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the children of God. Thoughts brought out were: We see the love of little children as they go to school together; there is the love of college friends; how strong and enduring is the love in urte home; that of a mother for her child. Adding together all the kinds of love, the great total cannot equal the tend erness and beauty of the love Of the Father. We cannot fathom the love of God bestowed upon use 50 un- worthy; we have the richness of it all Its climax was in the giving of the Son to die for our sins. We can all be children of God, heirs of His King dom, we have a right to be proud when we remember that we belong to Him, that He will never let us go. Our inheritance is reserved in Heaven. As we go through life let us face the future with brave hearts knowing that God is our loving Father.
 A delight was the musical part of the hour. The opening numbers by the quartette were Hymn to Night, and, On The Sea Dudley Bucks Fear Not Ye, O Icrael. was given in splendid tone by James J. Moore. Other num- bers were, Keep the Home Fires Burn- ing; and Pack up Your Troubles in Your Own Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile. Miss Annie Taft was at the piano. Members of the quartette were Oscar Carpenter, Raymond Congdon Dr. c. H. Lamb, G. Curtis Hull, Ar chibald MasDougald, William Rush, James J. Moore and William Andrews
