Westerly electric power is to be in creased through ten years contract i with the Eastern Connecticut Power company and the Westerly Light and Power company, and it is expected the high tension power line will be in operation by January 1. The ca pacity of the line will be 5000 killo watts, more than twice the amount now required in the Westerly district Martin H. Spellman of the Westerly Light and Power company, says:
 Work will begin at once and with the opening of the line Westerly will be served by two high tension lines connected with modern central sta tions, which will make possible tract was made after careful investi- gation and because such connection would render better service to West erly subscribers.

 How strangely have fiction writers of one generation in their flights of fancy really been prophetic.

RALLY DAY AT
 FIRST BAPTIST SCHOOL

Rally Day at the First Ba ptist Sun day school was never observed with a larger attendance, more enthusiasm or with deeper significance of it's mean ing, than on Sunday.
 Rev. George H. Strouse. pastor, took for his morning theme, Gods Busi- ness. It was a mesSag ge that each day should be a rally day in Gods busi- ness.
 The Sunday school hour was given to exercises with special music. Su- perintendent Cowan spoke of rally day as meaning a getting together must rally to help make the church stronger, to build up the school and make 1t far reaching in it's work and influence.
 The exercises opened with an an- them by the choir, Mrs. Louis Vince Ter. Mrs. Herbert Wiley. William Douglass and Mir. Robinson. Pray was offered by Rev. MT. Strouse Su- perintendent Walter M. Cowan called upon several members of the school for a five minute talk on their ideas of the meaning of rally day. Miss Vera Stetson spoke of strength as a cover strength to get into line for fresh effort to make the church and Sunday school come first in our thoughts. No organization is well carried on by people doing the work some of the time. The successful or ganization is one in which all the peo- pie work all the time. There are two kinds of people: those who work ana those who let others carry the load. Let us be filters and not leaners. George Auburn. one of the schools overseas boys. contrasted the army and Sunday school work He said: Two years ago the army was being mobilized, six months ago many had returned and had been discharged from service but in Christ's army there is no discharging. One enters Christs service for life. MT. Auburn closed by giving the definition of Sun day school. "The Sunday school is a department of Christ. in which is taught the word of Christ. for the purpose of bringing souls to Christ and building them up in Christ"
 Opportunities for Service was the theme of Miss Fannie Browns talk. Rally Day brings opportunities for service. She urged that we make ev- class to do things because we like to, not because we have to. Quoting from 1. Cor 15:1s "Be steadfast. Iunmova- ble always abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord"
 Assistant Superintendent Earle Stamm, another service boy. spoke in terestingly upon rally day and all that it means
 The last speaker was William Doug lass, who also has seen service over seas. MT. Douglass poke of a great rally day of all creeds that met a wear ago at "Y' hut inside of Ma poleonic fort just outside Brest- Ny. Douglass' talk was listened to with much interest
 The annual roll call of classes was held. the class number being respond ed to with quotations or with music. Tbe Mizpah benediction closed a sue cessful and profitable service.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
AUDITORIUM.

The whole town is talking about the big film production which opens four day engagement at the Auditorium to : day. But there is little wonder tt that for in Detroit. Mich. where this superproduction had it's premiere showing, people are still talking about it. In Boston it is the topic of much comment. In these cities The Unpar- donable Sin blocked the traffic. lined the streets with thousands of people eager to gain admission to see Mar shall Neilan's great work. It IS posi- tive fact that when we come to de- scribe The Unpardonable Sin we must stop to choose our words, for every photoplay made that cost a large sum of money to produce has been classed as a "big" production, and when we consider The Objectionable Sin it is absolutely impossible to class it with anything that has been produced dur ing the last five years. Its greatness is beyond description, and by that is meant in every way star, story. df- rection. acting and photogra phy are such that it lifts the word photoplav to a higher standard. Let us begin. therefore. and take one thing at time. The story of The UnpardonabIe Sin was written by Major Rupert Hughes; it has been read by millions. and enjoyed the largest sale of any book ever printed. It has been heart ily endorsed by the laet Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most prominent
 
 directed by Marshall Neilan, the wiz ard of the screen: produced by Harry Carson, who foresaw the feasibility of filming the world s most talked of story. The leading star is Blanche Sweet. the incompa rable little girl who is destined to win over your hearts in her brilliant interpretation of dual roles. It is worthy of mention that this production is the means of bring ing luck to the screen this famous star who has been secluded to theatregoers for quite some time. The photoplay of The UnpardonabIe Sin is magnifi- cent. work of art. and such that has never been equalled. The story itself it one of the most interesting and thrillire dramas ever written. It deals fra nkIy with a broad subject the bru- talitv and injustice that man has done to woman. unbelievable. unthinka ble yet true and realistic The Cnpardon- able Sin eclipses all other motion nic- lures. it has rocked the motion picture i-dustrv from it's very foundation. ft is the sensation of all screen classics Mere words cannot tell one of the greatness of the s+Upendous detail and ren-a rl5ab1e capa bilitv with which this r-o6uctior hos been filmed.
