motor cars and motor trucks are a

MOTHERS DAY SERVICE
 WITH sERMoN ON FAITH

At the Central Baptist church on Sunday evening Mothers Day ser- vice was held and Rev Arthur F. Pur- kiss preached the sermon on Faith and the Church, the twelfth of a series Of sermons on Faith. Rev. Mir Purkiss in introducing his subject. said that it it is easy thing to change from one church to another, for the Methodist to become a Baptist or aI Presbyter- ian or Baptist to become a Methe- dist or go to some other denomina tion. Some people are alarmed at this but If preacher or church is not in the spirit of the gospel then by all means go to some church that is. It is not baptism by immersion that counts. it is the fundamental principle of Christ that counts and people should go to the church that is producing the most Christlike people. The church does two things. it inspires faith and ex- presses faith, one is on the inside and the other on the outside.
 The environments of the churcl, count for much the sarne as in the life outside the church. Each church has a different atmosphere and the one that satisfies hlm best should be the which makes a person do the impos- sible, anyone can do the possible A church inspires faith to those on tho inside of it.
 One n'ay say that the church has its faults. but that is no reason why cne should stay outside. Th3 highest ideals Of good are in the church and anyone can do his best. Tie church has fatieG again and again but there is T., organization like -he church, ii is ;hc nchlest institution on ear,h.

 They were for a total of $15,750, which sent the Norwich grand total to H.&41.9o0, or sl46,s50 over the quota of sl,Gs5 DOC.
 The whole number of subscribers was 3.147. which was a magnificent response to the efficient direction of General Chairman Nathan A. Gibbs, who has done vast amount of work himself and has inspired al, his lieu- tenants and committee workers to do their utmost in the finish the job' spirit.
 Such large number of subscribers on the last day was accounted for largely by the returns made by a nun Der of large manufacturing concerns which have been taking subscriptions among their employees. The taking up of pledges which had been filed at the banks also accounted for many of the subscriptions counted on Saturday and the bank forces were kept busy until the last minute in handling the volume of business that was offered to them.
 Final reports of the teams in the house to-house canvass showed that they had accounted for s3s5,750 of the grand total. Their reports were as fn1Ioy-S.

 The day was the third Sunday after Easter, the gospel read in all the
 masses being John VI. 1922. Rev.
 Father Cuny spoke of the necessity of something more than mere negative ! ness in Christianity; it is not enough
 not to do evil--men must also do good. While not offending God is praseworthy, better still is loving Him and through that love being moved to love of all men and to low ing service to all.
 NO DeLter example or lillS iONe Cdtl be found than in a study of the life
 of the one who loves the souls of all men, because she knows her Divine Son died to save those souls. The compelling, appealing character of the love of the Mother of the Saviour was i the theme of the sermon, as well as l the power that tender Mother must de rive from her relationship to her Di- vine Son, and which she is ever ready l to exercise in behalf of those who in- yoke her aid. guidance, and protection against evil.
