 There is moral dignity belonging to the missionary enterprise which calls for the noblest, most heroic in a man. The time has passed when a man who could not succeed in anything else could be a missionary. To be called into the service of Christ Is high privilege. Jesus Christ needs us and gives us the call.

 There is an imperative nature of the call today in Europe and Asia. We have listened to the call for mil. | itary strength, the call for benevolence 1 Now we need to listen to the call ot those peoples who are spiritually adrif and seeking liberty and light It is z call not only for pastors and mission aries but for every Christian. l Tn making our field the world we ar, 1nhamperd by anything in our past his tory

 INCLUDES NoANK SCENES

very pleasing exhibition of water color sketches, pen and ink sketches and oil paintings of the summer work of Peppino J. Mangravite of New York, who has been spending the summer al Noank, is given at Mir. Mangravite's studio there.
 Mir. Mangravite's work in all mediums is very cleverly executed, showing a sym pathetic study of his scenes. This IS most notable in his picture, Peace and Mystery, which shows the old Potter dock at Noank in a new light. His other scenes around the historic village of No ank are cleverly worked out.
 The pen and ink work is exceptionally we'll done and his three pieces, Deceit Joy and The Birth and Death of Love while fantastical clearly convey thu thought of the artist. This work is wor | thy of especial mention. The water colo sketches which deal largely with Nosni scenes, both landscape and marine, shor that the artist is able to work in ny medium and has not the set way tha many of the prominent painters have to day Other pictures done by Mir. Man i gravite worthy of note are The Dane
 of the Spirits. The Sleep Walker, Meltinl Shows, The Tramp Steamer, and others

In the criminal superior court here Thursday afternoon, Attorney Thomas A. Treland, assistant to the state attorney, made the first argument for the state in the trial of John A. Johnson the Noank blacksmith, on the charge of obtaining $350 under false pretenses from Osborn Sharples of Groton in selling him half interest on the patent of a side contortion rod for Ford automobiles.
 The evidence in the~case was all con- cluded shortly before o'clock and At torney Troland occupied the last half hour of the courts session for the day in making his argument before Judge Allyn L. Brown and the jury. When court comes in this (Friday) morning, Attorneys B. H. Hewitt and H. W. Rath- bun will make thei. arguments for the defense and State Attorney Hadlai A Hull will close the case for the state. After Judge Brown has delivered his charge to the jury, the twelve men will retire to the jury room to endeavor to reach a verdict.
 The two words patented and patent able" have now been brought into the case as key~ords in the situation be- tween Johnson and Sharples as the lat ter claims that Johnson told him he had a device that had been patented, while Johnson claims all he said about it was that it was patentable.
 Johnson, who was testifying Wednes- day when court adjourned, resumed the witness stand Thursday morning. In the course of his testimony he denied that l Sharples paid him s55o in a. New London savings bank or that he received this sum from Sharples at any other time He also denied that he promised in Lawyer Walkers office to pay back s35t to Sharples. Johnson further testified that he had Attorney A. P. Tanner O.

 securing a patent for the side contor
 tion and he showed letter from At
 toney Tanner saying that the aplianc'
 was worthy of patent. This letter wa
