LAST WEEK BROKE RECORD
 AT NORWICH PosToFFIoE

Last week was record breaker for in- coming and outgoing mail at the local postoffice.. The amount of mail handled during the week equalled that of Christ mas. Friday the Easter cards were ~piling up rapidly. The special delivery carrier delivered nearly 1000 pieces of mail dur ing the week and the motorcycle and side car used for that purpose proved very satisfactory.
 The parcel post mail is steadily in- creasing and no doubt an additional ve- hicle will have to be brought into service witbin the near future for the purpose of 1 properly handling the numerous pack ages. Postmaster John P. Murphy is en- deavoring to interest the local merchants | in a plan to have their deliveries made through the postoffice, If sufficient num- Der of merchants become interested, the parcels will be collected twice daily from l the business houses and delivered promptly from the office. The rate for local delivery is five cents for the first pound and one-half cent for each addi- tional pound. This includes delivery by | the rural carriers.
 The merchants will be interviewed or the matter soon and the system will be
 fully explained to them in the hope that
 they may increase their local deliverie: 1 by parcel post.

EASTER THEMES IN NORWICH CHURCHES

 Large congre5ationals filled the Nor wich churches for the Easter services Sunday. and the sermon themes, the special music and the beautiful floral dec- orations brought before the congrega- tions the gladness and joy of the Easter season.
 Central Baptist Rev. F. C.. Wright of New York took for his text at the morning services at the Central Ba2tist church the words from Mark 16-O. He is Risen, He is Not here.
 We cannot predict Gods surprises, said the preacher. and even the people Nho are in the midst of these developments do not sense their full import. The faith of the disciples hadn't measured up 10 i the fact of the resurrection It was slow in comprehending. But their faith after Easter had new vision, new fire, rose to new levels, had a new horizon through which we may begin to see the progress of Christianity beginning. Faith took its roots in the risen Christ, Faith brought on the new fellowship, new power, new | illumination. The resurrection brought | the fact of immortality to light fol 1 Easter means that sin cannot rutI us. Easter means that We shall live again l l selves Easter ought to bring to US 2 | faith that is great enough to reach be l yond reason, beyond physical reality t see the living, vibrant Jesus, a personal l ty that is bigger than time. After Haste faith brings into the human heart hop that give peace, joy, comfort, fellowship and power.
 l Rev. Mr. Wright read to the congrega ton the formal letter from Rev. David A Pitt of Berkeley, Cal. ,accepting the ca to the pastorate which the church ha extended to him. The letter was brie and expressed the hope that this new ex perience may mean a new dedication t the service of Christ.
 At the morning service, soprano solt Easter Song (Denee) was rendered. b fine voice by Mrs Grace Crowen AldricF and at the evening service the cantat; The Resurrection and The Life, was giy en by the chorus choir, directed by ( D. Geer. Three persons were baptize | by Rev. Mir. Wright at the evening ser l vice.
