MY PILOT.

What'er the Fture holds for me.
OF gloom or doubt, of grief or
care
The Pilot of my Life will see.
No burden laid, | cannot bear.
Though dark the night, some light
appears,
Some ray of hope leaps through
the clouds
1t has been SO through all the years,
The garlands glittered DER the
shrOuds.
The Faith ! found at Mothers knee
Has never let me wander far
see her yet in memory,
AS constant as the Polar Star.
Oh memory: Thy Golfers hold,
Pearls never found on land or sea
MY memory; my book of gold,
Holds Mothers words to pilot me

CAPE COD DISABLED
 EN ROUTE TO NORWICH

While feeling her way cautiously through the fog enshrouded waters oi Block Island sound, in the early hours of Tuesday morning the Thames River Line steamer, Cape Cod, Captain Martin Colbert commanding, with approximately 100 persons aboard incurred rudder trouble that completely disabled her and caused her to drop anchor off new har- bor.xoDue to the fog, it was impossible to attract the attention of coast guard patrolmen on the Block Island beaches but no fear was felt by Captain Colbert or any of the passengers because cam water prevailed, and the craft was an cf.ired in a comparatively safe position
 When daylight came fishing craft were attracted to the side of the steamer and the passengers were taken to Block Island from whence they were taken to New London on the steamer Nelseco, Captain Edward McQuarrie, commanding and arrived at 5.39 in the afternoon. Late Tuesday.@afternoon the T. A. Scott Co. was notitied of the plight of the craft and the Nug. Harriet. Captain John Johnson, commanding, was des- patched to the aid of the stricken Cape Cod, leaving early in the evening.
 The tug succeeded ir placing a line
 aboard the Cape Cod and lowed her 1 to New London, arriving at o'clock
 Wednesday morning. The cr4tt was taken to the marine railways of the l Thames Towboat O., at Riverside, where l she will be hauled out and repairs made 1 to the rudder. Whether the mechan. l ism of the ruddeF gave way of it's own 1 accord, or whether the trouble was oc-
 casioned by collision with some partly | submerged object will not be known un- | til the vessel Is hauled out.
 The Cape Cod was en route to this
 city from New York via Block Island | when disabled.

FIFTY FOURTH ANNUAL DINNER OF
 TIE BILL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

What It Means to You" Rev. Mir. Hat field said in part:
 Near the close of the Civil war when the Union army was nearing Richmond the commanders urged President Lin coin to lead the triumphant entry into the capitol of the south. Lincoln dis approved of such display of pomp as was planned, saying that 1t would cre- ate a wrong impression However. Lin-' coin visited Richmond and walked the streets, mingled with the people and found out the exact conditions in the south Some who recognized him came to him and asked what they could do to serve but Lincoln said, T am here not to be served, but to serve you" In these simple words, Lincoln had exemplified the teaching of Christ for Christ had said centuries before, '1 come not to pc ministerei unto but to minister" This was service, service for fellowmen with out thought of selfish gain, it was the highest type of ideal.
 What a man is in this life live after him. The seeds sown during mans life
 9o(tinue after him. Service for our fellownen Is wonderful thing and would be the solution of the world prob lens of today if applied in the right way. Service is word, however, that is much abused. It is sometimes erron- eously used in place of labor. A man may many times labor hard but yet he may not serve although his intentions
 may be good Selfish labor is a whiri- pool that engulfs a mans soul but ser vice is fountain that bubbles forth with everlasting good Service is labor baptized. A mans lite is measured by the quality and then by the quantity of service. Service is founded on the cen- 1 tury old idea of the Brotherhood of Man but is not even to this day practiced. i Christ tau-1t that no man should be l idle. Service comes when we consider l the world as one big family and every | on in it our brother and when we de- l velop the seeing eye. feeling heart and 1 the he ping hand. The motive of this
 service is faith in our God hope and 1 love.
 l After another selection by the male 1 uuartette the dinner was served under l the large tent in the church yard. Near 1 ly two hundred were seated at the ta- 1 bies at which a delicious clam chowde ] was served with all that goes to make uI l one of the famous dinners for which the l women of Ledyard are noted. There l were several kinds of cake, pie, coffee native peaches and other fruits, and ic' | cream
 Much credit is due to the women O | Ledyard who assist in making this af
 fair one of the outstanding features O
