The annual roll-call of the Norwalk
Congregational Church was held last
evening and proved an enjoyable cv~
cut, taking on, as it (lid. the form of a
family gathering. Although the at»
tendauce was not as large as had been
expected, everyone present was repaid
by the sociability of the affair and the
pointed. straightforward talk of the
pastor Rcv. (I. I) I‘gbcrL
I‘rcsious to the service in the
church a social time was bold in the
chapel from 7:45 to 3:15 o‘clock. every-
ouc prcscnl. giving his or her name to
(‘ch k Charles A. Tucker. who checked
it on the roll. The audience thcu ad~
journed to the church, where they lis-
tened to a duct, “Peace to This Sacred
Dwelling.“ beautifully rendered by
Mrs. Newkirk and Mr. Hutch and sev-
eral organ selections by Plot. A. S.
ilibson. Then followcd the animal
tall: by the pastor. Mr. Egbert
spoke with fuelling of tho dcnih of eight
members of the church. one a deacon.
and referred to the loss of Captain 0.
S. Clark, who for so runny years had
sat in front to his left. He mentioned
these things because they had a prac
tical bearing on the welfare of thc
church.
"We have a tremendous problem
staring us in the face." said the clergy-
man. "Thc town is not lIl('l't'aSilll:. We
have somewhat over 20.000 population
and for this number there arc sixteen
churches. We have about hilt) resident
members and the South Norwulk
church has about the samc number.
The Catholic and Methodist churches
in both cities have large congregations,
lint there are a great many who are
affiliated with church who vcry seldom
attend. In timc of trouble, as in thc
case of death in the family, they won-
dcr what minister to no to. but you
will always notice they want a clergy-
man. Always, as soon as struggle
-on1cs they go right to thc uiinistcr.
If this church is to increase it is to in
crcasc by those resident members who
are not directly interested in the
work of the church."
Reference wns made to thc mcthod
of incl-tint: this difficulty through the
Sabbath school; also of the small num-
bcr of chlidrcu who attended church.
”As I look over my congregations. Sun-
day after Sunday." said the spcakcr. "I

The childless homes. especially in Now
England. are multiplying altogether
too rapidly."
The problem of the evening service,
always of interest to every pastor. was
touched upon and reference was made
to the large number of strangers at the
evening service. showing that the.
membera’did not attend as they should.
"If our evening services were attended
as well as the morning services. We
would have a crowded church every
Sunday night," said the. pastor. "The
average congregation expects the min-
later to draw. where, as a matter of
fact, the congregation should do the
drawing. Not enough effort is made
to bring your friends to them: services.
We don't get eriough of the “drillers."

Mr, Egbert said he was not going to
touch upon the clutter of the Thursday
evening service. as ho had been repeat
criiy told that it was a ticklish ques-
tion to handle. “It should be rcmem‘
bored. however, that u very solemn ob-
ligation rests upon everyone and he
who deliberately falls to attend these
met-tings assumes a tremendous obli-
gation." Closing the pastor said the
chruch would be successful lust. In pro-
portion ps the members «exerted every
influence towards bringing the gospel
to those who had it not. This. after
all. was the end and aim of the church.

Thc teamstcrs' strike was responsi-

taken away, and it was not. restored to
him until yesterday afternoon.
A colored man named George Smith.
who was formerly employed by Ray-
mond Brothers. noticed the man at
work. and began to call out "scab.
scab." and also picked up stones and
began to throw them at the truck. Mr
Snyder resented this procedure, and
told the luau If he did not desist he
would be sorry. 'I‘hc 1112111 thcn drew

ill flutooine ill Case
The Westport case came. to a sud-
den cnd yesterday, and the outcome
appears to be u coniplcic victory for
the town and the ancient citizens.
thn the. court came in at the usual
hour it was evident that something
was in the air. The minutes and hours
iicw by and still there was nothing do-
ing. It was then learned that the
plaintiff. David Ilrndley, was about
ready to cry units and was negotiating
for terms.
'l‘lu- conference which followed was
long and much tinrc was taken in dis-
cussing the final terms. \thn the
court finally came in the jury wcrc
told that they were discharged from
further consideration of the case. and
the whiskcrcd witnesses had scored a
big victory. It was given out that the
plaintiffs had withdrawn the case and
had not only couccdcrl the town‘s
rights to the beach in dispute but also
granted that. Wcsiport had the long
disputed rights at Cedar Point.
The evidence offered by Thomas D.
Hill and several others maintained as
it was after a vigorous cross examina-
tion, did much to bring about the sci-
tlcmcut. The old timers pretty gen-
erally agreed that the beach find been
a public commons as far back as the
memory of man runncth. The plaintiff
had nothing to combat this testimony
and so the withdrawal was the only
thing left.
The testimony of Mr. Hill. on cross
examination as chl as on the direct.
had much to do with the establishment
of the town‘s claims.
As told in yesterday's paper. his
father formerly owned the land occu-
pied by the Ilradloys. He stated on his
direct examination that his father nev-
cr put in any claim for the bench. but
licld that it. was the highway. Attor-
ucy Knapp tried to shake this state-
uicnt. but the old gciitlcmnu held
strongly to it and was quitc interest-
ing in his nusu‘crs,
lie was asked whcihcr his futbcr cv-
cr built any iltlllscs upon the sand and

habit of building things upon a surcr

Hill's father no doubt obeyed the
scriptural injunction. The witness
was asked several times whether his
father's right to the bench him ever

“Then if your fathers right was
never uucstioncd how could be come
to say anything about the pincc'f”
Mr. Hill did not quite get the drift
of this attention and it was repeated.
Then he said: “If anybody should
come along and ask my father the
way to Cedar Point he would any.

It was not voted at. last night‘s meet:

instead it was decided to procure a slip-

not know whether or not the Rev. Mr
Thomas would be the preacher to oc—
cupy the pulpit.
One of the. officers of the church stat-
