CENTRAL BAPTIST PAsToE
 GIVES MARRIAGE ADVICE

Are you fit to be married? This was the topic of. the Sunday evening sermon delivered at the Central Baptist church by the pastor. Rev. Arthur V purkiss There was a good sized attendance at the service in spite of the threatening weather and drizzIing rain.
 The boy of 20 thinks he knows enough to choose a girl for his lifer companion. and every slip of a girl of ls or 70 thinks she knows enough to choose boy for her life companion. said Rev. MT. Purkiss. Physical fitness is the 6rst thing to be considered in matriulony. The man or woman ought to have a clean body. How fine it would be if the boy or girl knew in the beginning of life the physical basis of life.
 The boy or girl should have good mind and a high moral standard. No man who doesn't love God and serve Him is fit to be married. He isn't fit to live. A man who receives all the bounties of God and never says Thank you. God" is most ungrateful wretch. Are you go- ing to send your boys and girls out into the world without the preparation of the gospel of life?
 "A short benediction service followed the regular service and it was held in Bush nell chapel

 started for the benefit of the patients of the Norwich Tuberculosis Sanatorium.

 make up for their loss?

 bute No sum is too small to be grate- l fully accepted. It is asked that contribu'

 SERIES FOR SUNDAY MEETINGS

The first of a series of moving pictures proved a pleasing success at the local r. M. c. A. Sunday afternoon, when two reel picture on 'The Modern Ruth" was shown. After the opening songs and prayer, the first reel was shown. which told the stc-y of beautiful American girl, ministering to the war orphans of France, and when she with other nurses had decided to leave there for America and had said their good-byes, the pull at her heart strings was so strong that she decided to stay with the French orphans The second reel illustrated the Bible story of Ruth: how she clung to Naomi thought the latter urged her for her own sake to return to her own people, but Ruth steadfastly refused to leave Naomi. and went with her back to Jerusalem and as means of support for herself and | Naomi Cfor they were very poor) gleaned | in the fields. and while gleaning Boax the owner cf the fertile fields was attracted | to her because of her purity and beauty, and finally they were married. The whole story was impressive, and the passionate love of Ruth for Naomi was the outstand- | ing point of the picture story.
 l A brief talk was given by General Secretary Edwin Hill who said among other things. the secret of Ruth's great ness was not in her beauty. though she was beautiful. but it was in her devoted love which was shown in the sacrifcial service she rendered to Naomi. George
 Washington was not great because he

 served the race with full heart of love

 So may any man be great, in Gods sight
