Members of the South Norwalk
Congregational Church Enjoy
a Social Evening
The new pastor of the Norwalk Con-
gregational Church and ltis wife were
tendered an informal reception last
evening in the chapel of the church In
Lewis soreet. and the function proved
to be a most pleasant occasion, a large
number of the parishioners attending.
The idea of the reception was that
Rev. and Mrs. Ernest F. .\Ic(‘.1cgot
might become socially acquainted with
the people of the parish.
During the evening'the guests enjoy-
ed selections by the choir and litter
refreshments were served. The chap.
el room was well filled and the. suc-
cess of the occasion was pleasing to
those ladies who had perfected the ar-
rangements.
All the ministers of the town were
invited and mauv of them attended
with their wives although there were
a few whom business engagements or
other good reasons kept them awai.
There were no speeches, the time be—
ing taken up completely in social in-
tercourse and the reception wgs every
.ri‘belpful to the pasmr and his wife.‘
who are new among the Norwalk peo~I
pie.
Rev and Mns. McGregor were 1111
their best and those who attended the
reception last evening met their new
pastor and his liclpmeet in a social
pleasant way. ‘

Five Arrests Made for Too Stren-
uous Picketing or Disorderly
Conduct
LAWRENCE. Mass” March 8.——The
striking textile workers made 111111;,
although very quiet, demonstration
this morning prior to the time for op-
ening the mills‘. Thousands of men
and women crowded Essex street. and
the approaches to the factories were
lined with pickets, but when the mills
had began operations no trouble of a
serious nature had occurred. Five ar-
rests of. strikers were made for too
strenuous plcketing or disorderly con-
duct
The; force of strikers that lined the
streets was greatlv augmented over
that or the past few days Excepi In
a very few cases no violence was at-
tempted. One woman was assaulted
by a striker and a razor was found
on a foreigner who was taken into
custody for disorderly conduct. The
soldiers were engaged in active patrol
in the mill district. No perceptible
increase iii the number of employee
resuming work was noted, valthough
tlfe operating force apparently retain-

Miss Ellie M. Chambers, of Kessab,

from her field of labor in Turkey,
where she has spent 12 or 14 years,
working for and with our Armenian

through both of the terrible massacres
in‘thai land and laboréd, with no
thought of herself, in the distribution
of food and clothing to the sufferers
who were left homeless and starving
Against the advice of her friends she
remained there and in one of her let-
ters writes, “Oh, such a year as «this
has been. yet I have been glad—glad
from the bottom of my heart that I
withstood the advice, and commands
even, of everybody, and remained .to
suffer with and help this People."
