 BOcSfS RED CRCSss SEALs

The advent r December frnariss tie beginning of tae holiday sHsason: tlle1 period of the lear which We dedicate to the spirit If peace and good will. We shall soonlreceive the Annual ad- monitinon to 10 our ChrisA tmas shop ping early. D T. Fiien. R Reeks, direc- tor of the staR bureau of preventable diseases. Mistletoe, holly and evergreens are. the time -honorrd enblemss of the yule- tide;' but lattetly anothe&, emblem has, been added to tlis group;I one of deeper significance, phrhaps, and of more practical value
 I refer to the Red Gross Christmas Scales. @
 There is nothing abbut the husky, happy figure of Santa Claus adorning these little stamps which suggests the purpose to which tlleii, distribution is dedicated. But from the proceeds Of their sale a means is provided to carry on certain necessary phases of the war on tuberculosis;l that gravest of all public health meraces.
 In 1918, the great white plague l claimed 1777 victims in Connecticut This represents the deaths from pull monary tuberculosis alone, Added to theses were several hundred deaths | lIOlu OeQcI= Iy pCS NOA ,ul5SdSGS.a-. .1 It. 1S l generally accepted among health Sau- thorities that for each death there are ten cases of tuberculosis in the incipi- ent or active stage. On this basis it is estimated that we now have in this state nearly 20,000 people afflicted with l the malada.y ,Sse The most successful form, of treat
 nent for tuberculosis consists of sun
 shine, fresh air, proper, food and conn plete rest When this is treatment is resorted to in the early stage of he dis
 ease it generally arrests the. pro- gress of the case. and frequently eff
 fects complete cure. The great dan ger lies in neglecting the early symy- toms and in4 failure to adhear to the prescribed course of treatmentf z
 There is a pitifully large number e1 tthe afflicted who are financially un- able to secure proper treatment; and it
 it is for their benefit especially that
 Red Cross Seals are issued. Of the
 sales S5 per cent. remain in the: town
 where the seals are sold, and this sum
 may be used to help pay the salary of
 visiting nurse to do preventative and educational work in tuberculosis.
 Stripped to the core, anti -tuberculo-
 sis work means the distribution oi Gods sunlight and fresh air to tht
 people who need it most, an dthe edu- cation of the we'll and the sick te : prevent the spread of the infection. During this one month we can al stamp our approval on, this splendie ; program by stamping the back of eact , letter we mail with a Red Cros! Christmas seal. It is a little thing 2 and great thing to do.
 These thoughts have been made th' ,, subject of this weeks letter at tn, suggestion of the state healths com , missioner, Dr. John. T. Black, who ha. [ directed that all mail issuing frem tn a state department of health during De cember be adorned with Christina , seals.
 Te seals go on sale today. Do you

SEVEN PASTORS: TO LEAD .s ION DAY OF. PRAYER

Seven pastors of the city will be the leaders each for an hour, at the prayer meetings on Wednesday, from 1u a. m. to 5 D. m, the day Of pray :. CT ,n the series of evangelistic meet ings under Gypsy Smith, Jr.
 The following are to be the leaders and hours, all meetings being held at tbe9 Central Baptist church:
 s10 to 11-Dr.-S. H. Howe.
 Il to 12-Rev. William Crawford.
 F to 1--Rev. 4. F. Purkiss. .
 1 to 2--Rey. George H. Strouse.
 :. to 3-Rev. Gurdon Bailey.
 k to 4-Rev. R. F. Trick.
 4 to 5-Rev. E. A. Legg,
 This day of fasting and prayer has been called by the ministers of the CO., deepening the religious conviction among the people of the city. There is no doubt, said. one of the pastors Monday, about the wide spread in terest in the services. More than g. 900 people heard Gypsy Smith, Jr., Sunday. The spirit of God is lead ing many Christian people to renewed dedication; is winning many whose love has grown cold to glad surrend- CT; is bringing many to a decision for Christ for the first time.
 Now is the time for Christian hearts to blaze with new devotion and new love to Christ. Prayer is the great ] twelve cylinder engine lying at hand for one mighty task of changing the l lives of men and women and chil- dren. 4
 All Christian people who believe 1T prayer, no matter what their creed oi 1 church are urged to lay aside theil usual duties and spend as many hours on Wednesday,, the whole sev. en if possible. in praying for thi Spirit of God to have His own wa! | in Norwich.
 The services on Sunday in the grea campaign were inspiring. The after noon service was held for the Sun day schools of the seven co-operatin, | churches and the intense interest o 1 the churches was shown by the grea l out-pouring of the Sunday schools 1 Mir. Smith showed his remarkabl
 power Of adjusting himself to- hi
 audiences as he told of the chambio, long distance runner of the world. He lost his championship because n ! broke his training. He refused t Il obey his trainer. Our trainer is Jesu I Christ, and if we are to be the boy
 and girls and men and women tfla
 God wants us to be-, we must obey tn
 trainer.
 Keep your eyes on the tape. Tn
 runner must not ;IooK around to SC how far he may he ahead, He mus
 do his utmost, with his eyes on tt
 tape. So we must keep our eye c
 Christ, and we shall never fail.
 It was a. meeting long to be rt
 rnembered.l It was not emotional. ] a clear. manly fashion, Gypsy Smit Jr asked the young people and O CT ones to dedicate their. lives | Christ. About sixty. young people ar adults made their decision.
 Nearly a hundred people On th first decision day Of the mission &-7at their VOWS of surrender and rededic: tion. There is a spirit of eagerne and expectancy that promises gre things for the next two weeks. Those who dwell in other people
