PILGRIM FATHERS" WAS .
 TOPIC OF ADDRESS

At the regular Sunday meeting for men at the Norwich. Y. M C.. A. two reels of moving pictures were shown, first School Days. showing the, development of the American school from the little red schoolhouse" to the modern schools where large variety of studies are made pos- sible.. The second picture was The Land ing of the Pilgrims and this picture was very realistic, telling the, story in pie lure true to the history of our Pilgrim Fathers A brief and highly interesting address was delivered by. Attorney Charles L. Stewart, whose topic was. The Pilgrim Fathers. The speaker told of the many hardships these noble men and women endured in the old world, on the trip over in the MayfiOwer, and the many privations they suffered after they had landed at Plymouth. These men and women, the speaker said, had high ideals and for these ideals they were willing to suffer and die if need be, and many of the little tcoleny of one. hundred and two actually did perish in their first year in 1 America. We owe much to these splen- did people who came to our shores from England, and though we call them Pill grim Fathers they were all young, most of them under, thirty years of age.
 Since the Pilgrims came to America, we 1 have developed a wonderful country
 electricity and steam have come, and
 many other discoveries and inventions have played their part in making. our na. l tion great, and our wealth is almost be! yond computation, but have serious doubts as to whether we have kept pace | in spiritual things. The great tide oi immigration should cause Us very seriou: i>thought, for many of these who arr flocking to our shores are undesirables they really have no country, and witi
 their anarchistic ideas, they can brini
 nothing good to us, and while they holt Isuch radical views we can do nothing fol them; it would be wise to keep an eye oi
 these immigrants, and in my judgmen there should be. a restriction on the nun tber coming to our shores, andI all wht
 are undesirable should be refused ad
 mission.
 The singing of several popular hymns scripture reading and prayer constitute
 a part of the program. Robert W. Otis
 Jr. officiated at the piano.
