were telling in the rain and during

However, it will still be con-

1t was the fourth successive day
of almost ~ceaseless air raids

full of clamor-and as before the
south and southeast coasts were
the Nazis' especial targets.
In a single Commute battle, 81

had been shot down.
(The Germans u~nofficially
claimed to have shot down % Brit
sh planes by this afternoon and
acknowledged the loss of five OF
their own.)
In all this furious assault and
counter : assault British officials
took a moment to announce that
in the great battles of Monday and
Tuesday, 40 German planes
probably" had been destroyed or
damaged, in addition to 40 al

 Plan Merger Tuesday
WOmen's Action Arises From Legislation Growing Out

A chapter meeting, in which the first steps will be taken merging the various women's societies of the First Methodist Church into the new Woman's Society of Christian Service, will be held Tuesday eve ming, September 10th, in the church parlors. It will be called to order by the pastor, Rev. Dr. John J. Snave- ly, after which there will be . fif- teen minute question and answer period

It has had also & Young Woman's Auxiliary, a Junior Auxiliary of the Womanss Home Missionary Society, a Queen Esther Standard Bearer Society for young CT women, and a Circle of Cheer. The formation of the Woman's So- ciety of Christian Service, will make it possible for all of these To- cal organizations to merge into the one society, and still to carry on, and it is expected, to enlarge the work that has in the past been done.
 This action arises in the new leg islation growing out of the unifica- tion of the Methodist Church, re- gently consummated. Ia the new Methodist Church there is but one society for women-The Woman's Society for Christian Service-car rying on all projects of the women's work.

 TRAITOR PEACE
Tomorrow Is Set Aside in This Country for Pray.
 CTS for War-Torn Areas

Peace Sunday will be observed ir Waterbury tomorrow and, in re- Sponse to the appeal of President Roosevelt, prayers will be offered fol the restoration of peace to the world. Millions of Americans oi all faiths will join in praying fol the continuance of peace in the United States and its return to war-torn sections of the globe.
 Special prayers will be offered in Catholic churches here tomorrow as well as elsewhere about the country. The setting aside of a Peace Sunday has been approved by archbishopS and bishops in every part of America.
 In this diocese Bishop Maurice F McAuliffe has asked that Catholics to join in prayer tomorrow. An epis- copal letter urging that Catholics participate in the days observance was read at masses in all churches last Sunday.
 The Catholic Transcript, official diocesan publication, contains the following editorial on Peace Sun- day:
 We Must Pray for Peace
 Next Sunday is Peace Sunday. The Most Rev. Bishop of our Dio- cese tells us so, and begs us to make it a day of prayer. It is the birthday of the Queen of Peace. Her Son is the Prince of Peace. Where does He reign
 Look at Europe, and pray for peace. Never was such a sigh pre- sented Never was peace so hard to find. Look at England: war, war, and no thought of peace. Look to Russia: no peace there. Spain, scarcely back from war. No peace to be found on this earth. America was the only home of peace to be found any where. But we are now prepar- ing for war. Our young men are called upon to leave home, to go out and fix for war.
 Do we want war? We do not want to murder our fellows and So drench the earth with human blood. We want peace, and we shall obey our Bishop and pray for it. +
 On next Sunday, the birthday of the Mother of God, the Mother of the Prince of Peace, we shall pray for peace for the whole world. On that day we shall call upon thee, the chosen one, for from thee came forth the Sun of Justice, Christ our Lord! It is He that>lifts from us and from this land of ours the curse of war, beStowing in its stead peace, and the benedictions of peace, saying: Away with death, and give peace to them for whom the world was made. Our prayer shall be couched in these words: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men of good will" We must look to our own wills, rid them of all hate, and all desire for re- venge. We must look there closely and steadily, If we hope to have peace begin to reign on this earth. Next Sunday we shall join with the faithful of this Diocese and offer up special prayers to the Lord of Hosts Who an- nounced on His coming that there should be peace on earth to men of good will.

The Golden Text is from Romans 8:16, IT: "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if chil- dren, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together"
 Readings from the Bible include the following: But the Lord said unto Samuel Look not on his coun- tenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the out ward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart"
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 9l, line 16: "The denial of material self hood aids the discernment of mans spiritual and eternal individuality. and destroys the erroneous know. ledge gained from matter or through what are termed the ma. terial senses

TURN OF THE SEASON

It's getting coolish for wearing white shoes, Mornings are chilly with frosty dews. Panamas look sort of dated, SharkSkin jackets kind of antiquated. It's getting coolsh for red barn plays, Nibbling tidbitS at sidewalk cafeS For fshnet snoods and escadrilles, Summer frocks with fluffy frillS. It's getting coolish for tea on the lawn, round of golf soon after dawn, For Daiquris frosted and coffee iced, Consomme jeled and cold cuts sliced. It's getting coolish for dip in the brny, Sleeping in tents where it's cold and piney. It's getting coolish for lots of things Included in the lot caobages and kings.

 When men shall revile you, and prosecute you, Rejoice, and be ex- ceedingly glad; for great is your re- ward in Heaven. For so persecuted they the prophets which were be- fore you (Matt. 5:11, 12). Through out "Christiandom" hypocrisy now holds sway. Not one nation therein has any interest whatever in Gods kingdom under Christ Jesus, but on the contrary, oppose the same. The religious practitioners among the Jews charged Gods prophets with carrying on campaign of hate, and they petsecuted the Lords messen- gers for that reason.
