The "welcome home" sermon of the

most enthusiastic and successful events
of the day, There were 277 present at
the asset . Cyrus E. Lewis led the
singing th spirit, and the tenor so-
loist and male unartette sang several
selections. Superintendent John A.

and very happily presented the prise

brought into the school since the first

The 4 o'clock meeting at the Young
Men's Christian Association rooms at
Derby. which was led by the Shelton
pastor and the Praying Band, was
largely attended and full of power.
One young man at the close went for-
ward and expressed a determination to
live a new life.
The Christian Endeavor jubilee ser-
vice nt 8:30 was led by the president,
George Willis assisted by the Endeavor
Band of young men. and Arthur Sey-
mour, the president of the East Nor-
walk Epworth Magus. The singing
was ably led by Henry Haugll. It was
rightly called a jubilee service, as it
was an hour of joy and gladness.
The evening service was conducted
by the band and the church was filled
to overflowing, chairs being placed in
the aisles and rear to accommodate the
numbers. Presith Fred Field, known
as the giant englnoen was in charge
and the double quartett occupied seats
beside him, while the other members of
the Band occupied the seats in the
choir gnilery.‘
After the usual opening exercises Mr.
Hirstsang "The Palms" in a fine mall-
ner and then, after a few introductory
remarks by Mr. Field, the various
members of the Band gave testimony
of their experiences in a Christian life,
which were quite interesting. These
testimonies were lntersprsed with
singing by the quartette and the slug-
ing by Mr. Hint of "My Mother's Bi-
ble" and "Sometime!" The variety
caused by the different manners of the
various speakers added to the enjoy-
ment of the occasion. All seemed deep-
ly in earnest and their words
carried weight as they advised those
who had not done so to“ try the plan
of leading a Christian life. it was al-
together a day long to be remembered
by the members of the church and con-
gregatiou.
The entire Band was entertained at
the parsonage, the ladies and friends
of the church and society very gener-
ously furnishing the table supplies.

Groton. September 20—Shortly after
8 o'clock this morning the main emv
bankment which forms the west leg of
the "Y" on the Norwich & Worcester
Railroad. almost directly in front of
the station here, coils nod for a dis-
tsuce of twenty fee , leaving the
tracks badly undermined for something
over that distance.
Traflic over this portion of the track
was renedered impossible and an odort
will be made to run trains over the east
leg of the "Y" until repairs can be
made. A small stream runs under the
embankment and has been gradually
undermining it until it gave away this
morning. It is raining hard here and
it is feared that more of the embank-
ment will be washed away. Four of
the tracks in the freight yard have also
been undermined.
