FORMER CHAMPION
 GIVES EXHIBITION
Frank J. Marshall to Meet City's Best Chess
 Players

Preparation is being made by the Waterbury Chess club for opening the New Year with the simultaneous exhibition to be given Saturday evening, Jan. ', by Frank J. Marsh all, retired American chess cham pion. The engagement of MT. Marsh all to play his exhibition in Water bury was brought about by the friendship between MT. Marshall and Lawrence L. Lewis, member of the Waterbury Chess club and an ardent supporter of chess in this city. MT. Lewis himself plans to take one of the boards against Mir Marshall and is hopeful of defeating his celebrated opponent. MT. Lewis has held the championship of the city of Waterbury several times and should prove very good opponent. Other city champions that are ex- pected to face MT. Marshall include N. R. Bellome, N. A. Cornell and F. Norling. Rooms of the Waterbury Chess club are inadequate for such an exhibition and therefore it will be given at the Hotel Elton where ample room for players and visitors alike are available, at the same time, assuring the question so necessary in order that the champion may concentrate on his games.
 Play will start at p. m. sharp and all those who expect to play or wit ness the exhibition should be on hand at 7::30 MT. Marshall will be welcomed by the committee in charge of the exhibition composed of A. R. Bellome, L. L. Lewis and F. A. Pierson. president of the Con- necticut Chess league.

NEW YEAR EVENTS
 UNSEEN WALKER
Second Church Pastor Urges Christians to Ad=
 vance With Confidence

"You and I canont settle the af- fairs of state, we cannot lift the great burdens of unemployment and of social security, we cannot in- augurate a new era of peace and good will over all the world, but we can guard the integrity of our own sculs," said Rev. Dr. John c. Walk CT, pastor of the Second Congrega- tional church in his sermon Sunday morning entitled, "The Growing Edge for Souls.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 strengthen our own spiritual de- lenses, we can and we must give ourselves wholeheartedly to the building of stronger Christian wit ness in this church and community. We cannot be sure what the New Year or even the day and the hour may bring forth for any one of us but by the grace of God we can make sure that we turn our faces toward the larger light, the nobler truth as we face the future. We can here highly resolve that this New Year will find us more faith full and more earnest in the Lords work than ever before.
 "The New Year is all unknown, that is to say, in events and cir cumstances. Yet as Christians we go forward with confidence. We remember Gods goodness in days that are past. We have known Gods providence. We feel His presence here in this house of pray CT. The presence of God is never more real for most of us than it is in the sacred hour when we gather about the Lords table. Whatever the New Year may hold for us we can be confident that there will be above all else the opportunity to grow toward the likeness of Christ. We can search out love, learning, beauty, service. We can learn to accept disappointment and even grief and sorrow, serene in our confidence that God has greater things in store for us than we can think of or imagine"
