 Eight Days Left.
 Eight days left to the close of the Good Will Election under the aus- pices of the American Committee for Devastated France. Eight days seem very few inasmuch as we have not yet minimum vote, but when one stops to think you will remember that crea- ton was made in seven days, so that t It would seem as if it should be an easy matter to put over the election to a big and snappy finish in eight days.
 The candidates who are active and their helpers have worked early and late to send up their standing and it is now the time for the city to join in the game and help them. Send in generous subscriptions to one, or to be divided between all. It is up to the giver to say which candidate he wants the money to go to-put please send help to them so that the city will be properly represented in the Good Will Delegation which sails in the Spring to be the guests of the Ameri- can Committee.
 No matter how hard the candidates and their willing helpers work they can not succeed in being elected un- less the City comes forth strongly and gives it's support.
 Church Is Helping.
 The Second Baptist church of which Mrs. Ellen Coy1e is a member, invited a representative of the American committee to talk during the morn ing services yesterday. After the short talk was over the Rev. E. E. Gates, from Hartford. who was act ing as pastor - the church being without one just now-de1ivered sI most souI-stirring sermon, the text of which was ""The Compassion of Jesus Christ"
 It would seem as if some power had ordained that he should have se- lected so fitting sermon on the day when a plea was put forth to the congregation to help a sister country in distress. Rev. Gates referred to the words spoken by the representative and applied the sermon to the case many times during his discourse.
 With great feeling and deep sym pathy in his voice he pleaded with his listeners to 'tgrasp the opporlun- ity offered them at this time and give to the needy and suffering" lie said we must nelD dOWn-trOOden France, those old people, and the children with terror in their eyes, who cry out for our pity and help. Do not let this opportunity to do good escape" MT. Gates quoted many parables of lost opportunities to do a kind action and there were many in the congregation who wept freely listening to his thrilling message
 Send in some money to buy votes for the candidate you want to wzn today. Bridgeport must be we'll rep resented when the ship sails next spring.
