 bers tOLive Model Lives

In a vividIy beautiful talk on mans purpose here on earth the Rev. Dr. John J.

Dr. Loughlin was guest speaker at the second of the Supper Club meetings last evening in the Hotel Elton.
 Dr. Loughlin pointed out how man is dependent on Christ just as the hand is a part of the human body and unless we include Christ in our plans for world salvation it can- not be accomplished. He urged his listeners to make every effort to model their lives in such way they they might influence communities.
 Members of the Supper club were urged to go out and with the knowl- edge that he was made to the image and likeness of God preach and practice Gods teachings.
 pr. Loughlin, widely known throughout the state both as a speaker and head of the Contra ternity of Christian Doctrine in Connecticut, was enthusiastically applauded following his short but stirring address. He was compli- mented all wkho heard him on the simplicity, beauty, and force of his remarks.
 He was introduced by Past Grand Knight Cornelius F. Maloney of Sheridan Council, 24, K. of C., which is sponsoring the monthly suppers The only other speaker was Grand Knight Charles E. Mcdonald whc announced plans for the January meeting the 9th of the month.
 Seated at the head table in addi tion to the above-named were Rt Rev. Msgr. Joseph M. VaIdambrini, Mayor Vincent Scully, Rev. John M Culliton and Past District Deputy William T. Harrington.
 Thomas w. Scadden, Joseph Sul- livan and Roger Walsh headed the committees in charge of the event.
