This covenant proves to have been faith fully kept.
 The next question to be discussed was how to collect the minister rates. It had been arranged that every inhabitant should give his part annually, on or. be- fore the goth of March.
 For a short time this was all right, though after a few years they were un- willing to do this. It was then decided that .one-third should be paid in wheat at four shilling per bushel, one-third in rye at three shillings per bushel one l third in Indian corn at two shillings. or what was equivalent. The collectors were instructed to leave out poor men l and widows. In 1894. Mir Fitch was taken with palsy so was, unable to preach any long- CT. They were now left without min ister. Mir. Jabez Fitch, who had grad uated from Cambridge at the age of twenty-two agreed to supply the pulpit of his father on trial A vote was made to pay the expense of sending him from collge and a certain amount for his sal ary.

From this place the people were able to see the Indians approaching if they should plan ant attack. It served as a watch tower, an arsenal and a garrison on post. as well as house of worship. The building committee were Deacon Calkins, Ensign Thomas Tracy, Ensign Thomas Lefringwell, Simon Huntington. and William Backus. It was completed in about two years Mir James Fitch provided nails for this meeting house. As a. reward he was granted (2001 two hundred acres of land. One hundred in the crotch between the Quinebaug and Shetucket rivers and the other hundred acres as convenient as he could find it or the other side of the Shetucket. The

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 EXPLAIN ROTARY'S VALUE

Rotary and what it means to the indi- yidual and the community was ably ex- plaintd in a series of educational ques- tons and answers presented at the noon- day luncheon of the Norwich Rotary club on Wednesday at the Wauregan house. several guests and visiting Rotarians. The business meeting of the club was ueld with President Lucius Briggs pre- sidingi after which the educational part Of the meeting was taken up.
 Arthur MA Brown was the leader of this part of the program and before ask ing the questions for which answers had yeeu prepared he spoke on the general Fundamentals of Rotary. Never before sn the history of civilization has the world faced such problems as it does at .he present time. Here in America the Americans ideals have been shaken to their very foundations as well as inter- 1ational institutions In my opinion, said .le speaker. it is due largely to the hu- man selhshness that is being manifested on all sides People seem to be possessed with the idea that they must demand their rights without regard for others. AS has been said here before there are DO rights without q corresponding obli- saton. but the majority of people lose sht of the obligation There is no in-
 
 Jcncy than Rotary, whose principle and motto is Service Before Self' and He Profits Most Who Serves the Best"
 Mir. Brown then read 20 questions ex- planning the aims and objects of Rotary and the answers given by the individual members Of the club, proving an enter- tAinins and instructive part of the pro- gram.
 Richard Tarrant, speaking for the en- tertainment committee, reported that plans for a golf match between Norwich and New London Rotary clubs would be held next week after the regular noonday lunch. New London is to send up a team o1 10 of the best golfers to compete with team of 10 from the local club Al. though Norwich lost to the New London club on the diamond, they will certainly tahe all honors when it comes to the golf classic. F. Russell Smith, chairman oi the entertainment committee, also spoke regarding next weeks meeting at which the ladies will be present. Willis Austin is 10 be captain of the local team and ir all probability a cup will be the prize tc be played for.
 A communication from William G Park of Hanover, who is attending the international convention at Edinburgh Scotland, was read by Secretary J. Nel. son Weymouth, saying that the trir across had been fine and that everyon, had enjoyed a wonderful trip. MT. Park was made chairman of a committee tc arrange for golf tournament on the famous St. Andrews links there

FIRST MEETING HOUSE
 AT NORWICH TOWN

Doris Lucy Browning of the 1921 grad uating class at the Town street school selected a subject close around home for her essay writing upon The First Meeting House in Norwich Town" The essay was as follows:
 The first meeting house stood in the southwest corner of the green, very near what used to be the parsonage. This primitive church had neither steeple or gallery. It is thought that a sun-dial stood near the door, and perhaps a horse block. In 1868 a small amount of money was collected to pay Samuel La throp for repairing and heightening the meeting-house But even this did not satisfy the people of the fast growing
