STUDY ON ESSENTIALS
 FOR WORK FOR GOD

The subject of the Mems Bible class Wedn esday evening at the Norwich Young Mems Christian Association was, Essentials For Gods Work" and the men present entered enthusiastically Into the discussion. Several scripture passag- es were read bearing on the topic. The following were decided upon as essen tiaIs for Christian work: First 1t is nec- essary that every Christian should rec ognize that God has a purpose for every follower of His as indicated by the Scripture, ito every man his work" The secret of a successful army on the field of battle Is that every soldier does his duty; the secret of the slow progress of the work of the Kfngdold Is found in the fact that far too many are indifferent to their Christian duty. Every man has some gift, and the Almighty has so planned 1t that whe He gives a man a task to perform He gives him the abili- ty to perform that task, if only we fol- low His leadership, but if we fail we se- riously interfere with Gods purposes. Jesus had His work for He said, My Father worketh hitherto and I work. !" God sent His Son to save, and we as sons of God, are saved to serve. Another es- sential for service Is assurance" that Is, we should know without any question that God has saved us, and saved for a purpus; doubt has no place in the life
 of child of God. The study of the chart, the Bible. is an absolute essential of successful work for God; this study keeps sin out of the lift, 1t builds ur spiritually, and it fits for service. An
 other essential Is tact; we are too apt to say the right thing in the wrong way
 or to do the right thing in the wrong way we must also recognize the great necessity of prayer, and we must bt
 willing to wait in prayer for the power that God Is ready to give, but we mus
 not hurry in this matter, we must "tak' 1 time to be holy"

before the board, Governor Lake, Sem ator Butterworth and Attorney Gen. eral Frank E. Healy had a confereno in the room The governor said that at his request Mir. Reynolds, his sec retary, had read the act and had given his opinion that it did not provide for expense of maintenance. All he de- sired was to have things done in a le- gal manner. He had no objection to voting for the $500 month if it could be done under the law. He asked Mir. Healy if he would give an opinion to him on the law and MT. Healy said he would.
 Senator Butterworth urged the de- sirability of having the administration kept away from influences that would make the expense of administration ye- | ry heavy. He did not want to see a local organization in each of the four large cities with staffs of clerks and assistants and similar organizations throughout the state to administer the | fund. Such an arrangement would cost from s35,0oo to $40. 900. The expenses at the present time did not amount to quarter of that.
 Governor Lake said he did not like to have the expenses for maintenance taken out of the fund. Every depart rnent should have a specific appro- priation for expenses: If this money was allowed to the American Legion money would be given to other organi- zations- The legion is no better than they" said the governor.
 Treasurer Gilpatric said the state | would sustain a greet loss if Mir. But terworth withdrew from the admins. tration of the IunG
