INFORMAL TALK TO D. A. R.
Rev. William Beach Olmsted Speaks
 On "The Power of Tradition"

The regular monthly meeting of the Elizabeth Porter chapter, D. A. R., was held Monday afternoon. Several matters of business were transacted, such as the appointment of delegates and alternates to attend the Continen- tai Congress and state meeting. Miss Ruth Daniels was appointed delegate to the Continental Congress to be held in Washington, and the follow ing were appointed alternates: Mrs. Silas Wheelock, Mrs. George Gilpat- ric, Mrs. J. B. Kent, Mrs. E. Bishop, Mrs. Mary B. Nichols, Mrs. Alice Douty, Mrs. Herbert Smith, Mrs. H Hopkins, and Mrs. Harold Gilpatric
 Mrs. Newton Ballard and Mrs. C.. Dwight Sharpe were appointed dele gates to the state meeting to be held in West Hartford, and Mrs. George Rawley and Miss Marion E. Carpen- ter as alternates.
 The chapter extended a vote of thanks to Mrs. E. Bishop for her gen. erous gift of book case. The re- gent outlined some plans made at the meeting of regents in Windsor.
 Just before the main program Mrs. Dwight Sharpe gave a most beneficial talk on Thrift" The program of the afternoon was introduced by two piano selections beautifully rendered by Mrs. Herbert Smith.
 Rev. William Beach Olmsted then gave the chapter a most earnest and helpful message on "The Power of Tradition" At the beginning of his remarks he said he did not intend to preach sermon, neither did he wish to say just things that would tickle our ears" However, he wished t. impress upon us our tremendous re- responsibilities and opportunities. He quoted Abraham Lincoln as a mar who created tradition. First, we must believe in the power our organizations stand for. We can we'll be proud of our tradition, but is that all? Are we using that power to benefit the com munity in which we live? We mus have the spirit to act-we must make that tradition an influence today. NJ person has any right to consider ease
 Earnestness of purpose was tn fundamental principle of Lincoln's ex- istence-that was his chief character istic. He was man of Christian character, and man is only successful insofar as his life is factor for goo in human society. Other characteris. tics of his life were his purity of mo. tive and integrity of character. He was an influence for the truth, ane we should strive to follow his ideals Has anyone right not to further the influence of Gods work on this earth.
 As individuals we can learn man. lessons from Lineoln's life-from s man who stood for what tradition stands. We must help make that tra- dition a power. The greatest thing or earth is life; influence is most power full With earnestness of purpose, V. can all be missionaries of happin~ss.
 Refreshments of coffee, sandwich es and cookies were served.

'SAVACES ATTACK

Letter Written By Captain Sew ell During the Revofu-
 ton
Wac In Posse.siou of a Descendant.
 Henry Sewall of This City

Henry SewaIl of Putnam is de- scendant of Captain Henry Sewall, Continental Army, a friend of Count Lafayette. Captain Sewall was at the battle of Lexington and was with Washington in the memorable winter at Valley Forge.
 Last week MT. Sewall sent to his son, Roy Sewall, Maynard, Massa a collection of original letters, script and newspapers of the period of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1872.
 A letter Tn the collection written by Capt Sewall from Fort Ticonder- oga, will interest students of Revolu- tionary days It follows:
 Fort Ticonderoga,
 "Wednesday, June IS, 1777. "Honored Parents:
 "Whenever an opportunity presents I take pleasure in transmitting the currencies of this camp. Yesterday at 0 o'clock this encampment was alarm ed by party of savages who fired up- on our out sentries, killed two (one of whom they scalped), and carried off two prisoners. On their retreat from their bloody executions they were at tackled by small scouting party com manded by lieutenant who stood them three or four fires, when being wounded and overpowered in num- bers, made their retreat to this garri- son with three or four men, the rest being scattered by the disorder of the attack.
 Hast night our guard boat found seven of the said party on point four or five miles from the lake, one of whom was dead. The rest at present cannot be accounted for-three are certainly killed, one of whom l have seen. They belonged to the New Hampshire forces.
 Mai. Gen. Schuyler arrived here today from Albany. He has the com mand.
 q must defer sending money until better opportunity offers. This place is much pleasanter than 1t was last year. We can get greens aplenty. There are several continental and reg imental gardens. My garden seeds, together with number of other nee essary articles, left at Fort George. I can't get them here.
 Henry Sewall." The letter was addressed to his Ia ther, Henry Sewall, at York, Mass. Maine was then part of Massachusetts. The letter is well preserved.
 A $4 bill in the collection was is- sued under the resolution of Con- gress passed Nov. ?, 1776, at Phila- delphia. The bill, about half the size of the present s1 bill, entities the bearer to receive four Spanish milled dollars or the value in gold or silver. It is signed by A. G. Grammar, treas urer.
 The newspapers of the War of 1872 period contain many letters from ser vice men.
