SUNDAY. AFTERNOON PICTURES
 WITH ADpREssshT '. M. c.

WITH ADDRESS-AT I. M. U. A.
 A good sized audience greatly enjoyed the Sunday afternoon ''get together at the Norwich Y. M. c. A. After the usual program of singing, scripture reading and prayer, four interesting reels of moving pictures were shoE..,l, including Pictur- esoue Naples. Scenic Italy and The Ro- nance Of Crater Lake. The pictures were much enjoyed by all present.
 Secretary Edwin Hill gave a brief talk between the reels and among other things said:
 I want to speak on the word "cross'' in three connections; first the thought of crossroads which we meet as we walk out into the country Weecome to road that crosses the one on which we are walking and we stop and wonder which is the right way to go. and finally a man who lives in the vicinity comes along and we ask him which road to tal1esto get to the place we desire, and he kindly directs us aright So In life as we journey along the way we come to the crossroads, and we know not which Is the right way, and we wait and wonder; if we are wise we will ask the only one who knows how to direct us and that one is God. and if we nray to Him for guidance He will never fall to hear us and direct us in the right direction. Then there are what are what are known as cross purposes. What happened in Illinois the past week result ed from cross purposes and what hap pened there is a disgrace to our country. So in the home life. all the troubles and unha appfness comes about a result of cross purposes; the husband will not l agree with the wife. or the wife with the , husband. and the children too often are disobe6ient. and the trouble begins. The record of the divorce courts tell the story of cross purposes There would have l been no World war but for the fact that 1 one nation or the leaders of it. were at l cross purposes with the other nations and i as a result the great war. and millions | sIafn and today under the sod. among 1 them many thousands of our fine young ] men, If only men would cease being a l cross purposes with each other all would 1 be harmony instead of the awful discord 1 that now exists. and the way to avoit 1 discord is to swing into line with thu 1 will of God Almighty. Then there is th'
 ''cross'' of Christ what it means to thu race and to millions of individuals. Man! have by the power of the Christ who huni on the cross been led from low sinful lives to lives of purity and honor. hop that more and more we will think of tn
 word ''cross" and that we will determin
 that from now on we win seek God 1 guidance when we come to the crossroad | of life. and that we vii cease being a l cross purposes with others and that W | will constantly remember that if W
 would be contributors to the harmony o
 the world we must parallel our lives wit
 the will of God.
 Following the showing of the picture
 and talk. social period was enjoyed an
 a helpful discussion. several giving testi
 monies as to what God had done fo
 them. F. C. Geer- nlayed the piano an

ALL INITIATIVE
BILLS ON BALLOT
MAY Be CUT OFF

Prospects OF a measureless bal
lot at the November election in
spite of the nine referred and ini-
tiated measures, are seen by state
officials here as result Of recent
developments in the attack on the
petitions filed for the Green sal
mon fishing bill and the Albright
interest rate amendment.
Should the court uphold the
contention of the contestants who
are attacking the right Of these
two measures on the ballot be-
cause Of alleged irregularities In
connection with the certification
Of the names on the petitions 1t is
believed that similar attacks will
be launched against the other
measures in an effort to keep
them off the November ballot.
In the attack on the salmon
fishing bill as in the attack on
the interest rate amendment 1t Is
alleged that thousands OF names
ON the initiative petitions.ar not
legal because they were certified
10 as to the status of the petition
ers by notaries public who could
not know. personally. the qualifi-
cations OF the signers and was,
therefore, not competent to certi-
fly to their legality.
The practice of employing no
taries public as professional cir
culators OF initiative petitions is
said to have been followed in this
state for years, the practice being
attacked as violation OF the spir-
ii Of the initiative privilege ann
tending to flagrant abuse of the
privilege.
While Secretary Of State Kozer
IS made the defendant in the in
junction proceedings against the
two measures now under attack,
the burden of defense really lies
with the circulators, those certi-
flying to the legality OF the names
on the petitions and those initiat-
ing the measures.
