BOROUGH CHURCH
 TO SPONSOR FAIR
Second Annual Methodist
 Event Opens Next Thursday Afternoon
tspeclaI to the Democratl

(SDCCl0l tO tuG OCAnOSEUtJ Naugatuck, Dec. 1--The Meth odist Episcopal church will hold its Second Annual Ail-Church Fair in the Methodist Church Hall on Meadow street, the afternoons and evenings of Thursday and Friday, December sixth and seventh. AL though this event is only 8 week away, preparations for it have been in progress for so long that the careful planning will eliminate the necessity of last-minute rushing. Members and friends of the church are enthusiastically work ing to make certain the achieve ment of the goal of $500 to be raised for the local Treasury by this Bazaar.
 Thursday evening, between five and seven, the Ladies' Aid will serve an Old-fashioned Supper. The menu consists of boiled ham, scalloped potatoes, baked beans, cabbage salad, rye bread, raised biscuit, choice of pies, and tea or coffee. Every bit of 1t Is home cooking.
 Roth Thursday and Friday nights, a three-act drama, entitled: Drums Of Fury" will be presen- ted by a competent cast. Mir Zeiter, who is coaching the play, believes it will be the most in- teresting and exciting drama staged in the Methodist Church Hall in recent years. Drums Of Fury" tells the story of group of people practically exiled in Africa, and of the difficulties en- countered with the natives, stir red up by dishonest and schem- ing treasure-hunter. How life is made safe for the exiles is told in thrilling episodes, the play end- ing with the reappearance of an English woman whose supposed drowning, years before, had really kept her family isolated in little known part of the African con- tinent. The part of Eli Cooper, scientist, who is the hero of the play, is admirably performed by Bud Garland, who has had ex- perience in professional stock companies. The heroine is play ed by Sarah De Witt. The support ing cast includes Marian Allen, Marian Wood, and Dot Fairbanks in the comedy roles; Lillian Hitch> cock as the mother; Harry Grow CT as the father; Martha Shaner, Marjorie Smith, and John Dono- van as natives: Kenn Shelley as the william; Pauline Grover as a visiting English girl; and Bill Hodges in the role of Pauline's father.

PRISON WILL BE
 PASTORS THEME
Rev John E. zeiter to Com mlent on Personal Trips
 to Penitentiaries
Special to the Denocrat)


 Naugatuck, Dec. 1--"World's s Worst Prison" will be the title of Rev. John E. Zeiter's sermon Sum- day evening, December second, at 7:45, at the Methodist church. Tho New York County Penitentiury and Workhouse on Welfare Is- land, before the cleanup raid" of last January, was called the worlds worst prison" A recent book, Revelations Of A Prison Doctor, written by Dr. Lotus Berg, will be used as the basis for remarks made concerning that par. ticular institution. Many of the terrible conditions, brought about in that prison by graft and vice have, since January and under new government, b cen happily corrected. At MT Zeiter's request, the Commissioner of the Dept. of Correction of the City of New York has dictated a statement especially for Sunday evenings service. The minister, as the result of persona al visits to the Eastern Peniten- tiary in Pennsylvania and Sing Sing in New York, will comment on what he saw and Heard. Pris- oners' own testimony will be re- peated, giving light on some of the reasons for recent prison disturb- ances. The crime problem in America, made ever more acute by calls for Q clearer un- derstanding of what is wise and what is foolish in our present pri- son system.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson---- THE CHRISTIAN AS WITNESS

First of all, full of the thank deepmost in Paul's religious atti- tude and expression. Beneath everything else in PauIs life was this great outpouring of thankful
 ness of God for the unspeakable gift of Christ in saving him from bigotry and narrowness, and at- tuning him mind and heart to the richness and fullness of love. With this thankfulness is linked the prayerfulness which Paul was always manifesting as his, own practice and enjoining other Christians. Thankfulness and pray. CT were two great links in his re lationship to God and his fellow men.
 Then we have the readiness of Paul always to commend the works of love and righteousness. At times he could be very critical and could speak very plain words In rebufle where he felt they were called for.
 But he had keen eye for dis corning earnestness and right pur- pose, and he was never slow iii expressing some word of approv- al and encouragement to those who were seeking to know and to do the right. He makes it quite clear to these in the church at Thessalonica that he fully appre- ciates their faith and works and their patience of hope"
 Along with such commendatiop, however,, Paul usually expressed some Subtle word of criticism or some suggestion that might keep those to whom he was writing from becoming too well satisfied with themselves. So in this case he reminds them of the largeness and tullness of the gospel.
 He reminds them that the call that they have heard is call oi God to the highest and the holiest things, and that to profess the Christian life and to seek to lead it means to become examples to others. He congratulates these Christians that they have in fac, given a good witness and that their faith in God has been spreat abroad.
 | .All this is the more remarkabl,
 when we note that these to whom
 Paul was writing had been savet from perverted ideas and attitudes
 They had, as Paul says, turned from idols to serve the living true God.
 What a picture is here of tho reality of the Christian life! Wh, cannot every protesting Christian be such a witness?

of composers, such as Schubert, Byrd. Handel, Brahms, and Hitler --and on their secular program those famous Elizabethan madrig- als and part songs.
 On their last tour through Can ada, they were honored with an invitation to the government house in Ottawa. by the Governor Generai and Lady Bessborougl1 and in Washington, to the White House, by an invitation from Mrs Frank lin D. Roosevelt.
 This group sang in the cathed- rals and churches in New York, B oston, Providence, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington. In many cases the choir had the priv ilege of joining with their own choirs in worship and praise to the one God of all the churches.
 It was a convincing proof that the age-old tradition of Anglican Choral Music, famous throughout the world, still charms, still de. lights and still holds the audience in the spell of it's seraphic music.

 However, no definite decision will be made until the clubs hold it's formal meeting in December. If the vote is favora ble, a special committee will be appointed for the express purpose of setting the course, handling the entries and establishing rules.
 The race would be the first one sponsored by the Corinthian Club since 1881, when a 360-mile race was run from New London to Cape May. G. D.
