Norwich bulletin., 1920-10-06

voted to hold three organ recitals pre- ceded by supperS before winter comes These reeitals will be held at the Com
 nunity House, and their popularity of two years ago assures the present u1l- dertaking. Mrs. Edwin W Higgins is chairman of these reeitaIs and suppers, with power to choose her own commit tees.
 Following this discussion of plans, a very pleasing musical program of two numbers An Old Love Tale and The Bagpipe Band, was eharmingIy played
 by Miss Elizabeth Lane, violin, with
 Mrs. Charles Saxton, accompanying.
 Mrs. Will S SteaFns, chairman of
 the Friday night suppers for hoys, next
 gave a brief resume of the plans of her
 committee for the coming winter. These suppers, for which each one pays a
 small fee, are very popular and greatly enjoyed by the boys, preceding as they do. the usual weekly Bible class. Two very interesting letters from Sher- wood Eddy, written at Prague, and tell ing of trips through the devastated re- zion of France visits to the r. M CA huts maintained there by devoted work CTS, also giving detailed information about the work of reconstruction now begun, Sand the starving people who need aid, were read by Mrs. Leonard o. Smith.

 idea of making money towards paying off the auxiliary's debt to, the new as- sociation building fund, Mrs. Charles J.
 Twist to have general charge of the af- tair, naming her own committees.
 All business being concluded, the aux
 Hilary next had the pleasure of listening
 to a delightful talk on the South Sea Is-
 lands, given by Mrs. R. D. Rhene, wEo spent several years on the Island Of
 Nauru, in the Pacific ocean. Mrs Rhone laid much stress on the influence for good or i'll, of the white races, who have Eceme from time to time to these beautt-
 ful coral isles, which were settled in
 portions by the Dutch, English, French and Spanish-wfth Germany making her
 wedge in 1S33. The missionaries and friendly white folk have often had to
 pay their lives in reprisal for the white
 traders wickedness, for the natives find it hard to discriminate friend from a foe. Under German rule the islanders
 were taught to make cepra which is one
 of their principle industries. The story of phosphate. treated to become a fer tilizer was interesting the export of guana forms an island industry, alse Just who these Islanders are. as c race, has never been entirely decided tneF elIA0foSy Is Sl1u a puzzle. They abound in legends of evil spirits and are firm believers in ghosts Protest ants, Catholics and Mornons have al started missions among these people end many new ways have been intro. duced among them; the history of the | South Sea Islands cannot be. adequately written without taking into account ths efforts of the missionaries.
