While Boston was making her brave fight against the kings troops the patriots organization throughout the thirteen colonies may be understod by what was being done here in Waterbury, Connecticut.
 The most precious book in Wa terbury is old Town-Meeting Book, No. 1, preserved in the Town Clerks Office, City Hall, where we may now see, plainly written so long ago with ink and quill pen the true story of the birth of the worlds mightiest and most gener- ous nation.
 In that Book we read of the special Waterbury committee ap- pointed to keep in constant secret touch with the Boston patriot committee, raise money for them and smuggle in food, clothing and other necessities.
 And all the time they were drilling militia on Waterbury Green and watching tory suspects.
 The First Church was located at the east end of The Green, and Town Meetings and Elections were also held there in the early days of Waterbury.
 There's thrill in the mere mentioning the names of Connec- ticut's great Revolutionary War leaders and there's a remarkable significance right now in 1942 in a broadside issued by Governor Jonathan Trunlbull June 181776, to be published in the churches, appealing to the virtue and pub lie spirit of the good people of this colony"
 AFFAIRS ARE FASTENING FAST TO A CRISIS, AND THE APPROACHING CAMP AIGN WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY DETERMINE FOREVER THE FATE OF AMERICA.

 THOMAS PAINE was born on January 29th, 1737, in Thatford, a village in Norfolk. His father was a Quaker; his mother was mem Der of the Church of England, and he and his sister, Margaret, were baptized in the Established Church.
 Up to the age of 13 the boy att tended the Free Grammar School, a charity school at Thetford. Then he was apprenticed to his father in the business of making stays.
 In 175s, at the age of 21, Paine was making stays in Dover; year later, in Sandwich. Here he married a seryant-girl named Mary Lambert, and he followed the trail of work from one town to another.
 Tn 1760 his wife died.
 At the age of 25 Paine got an appointment as officer of the ex- else whose duties were measuring beer barrels and chasing snug glers. But 1t seems that he got into a common practice of making en- tries for goods and establish ments which he had not inspected. So he was discharged.
 Then it appears that Paine con- sidered seeking ordination in the
