NORWICH TOWN

There being no service at the First
 Methodist Episcopal church Sunday many
 ef the members attended both services at
 the First Congregational church. At the morning worship Herbert w. Hicks, field secretary of the Connecticut Christian Endeayor union, gave an excellent and helpful address on Individual Christian Development. Secretary Hicks read> the scripture lesson from the 18th chapter of Romans, with special reference to the urst verse: l beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies living sacrifice
 ooly, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. In the. course of his address Secretary Hicks said: In build ing our lives we Hust make sure we have an adequate foundation After we have completed the foundation We must con. slider the materials we use to further the developments. So it is with the architect. Whatever kind of a structure he is to build, he. makes sure of an adeuuate foundation first, then uses the proper materials tc make a successful job. We have delivered to us by Gods grace Ger. tain materials to make up our life. We have physical and religious opportunities Rs we'll as opportunities for service. With these different materials we turn out diff. ASt Caih Ou4loiA-SS III our uVeS. O0 we con- slider the plans of the architect in build. Ing our lives as much as we should? Aftel We have taken our materials and started sur buildings. then what? Our Christian life and development seems like mountain climbing. If we are as energetic in ou, Christian climbing as we are in ou
 physical climbing we will strive still fur ther and aim to reach the higher peaks We are following after others, and other are following after us. Enthusiasm fo service for Jesus Christ is the love Q God under the boilers of our life. If yol feel you are freight cars in your work which only can be moved by the aid o an engine, you should pray to God to giv you power that you may hook on to some one else that will move you as the en zine moves the dead freight cars. If " build our lives on the rock of Jesu
 Christ, when storms come we will alway be able to help others. Rev. Gurdon E Bailey made brief remarks concernin
