liliiiTilEliiilliiD RALLY
A large number of the members of
ithc Baptist Brotherhood gathered for
1an evening of good fellowship
night in the parlors of the church.
1 President H P. Morgan presided and
1colled for reports, which covered the
activities of the organization through}
ion! the summer. __
1 Secretary 1.. [zeppert reported 111-
icreasing interest and activity among
;the members.
The treasurer's report, given by W.
Illoblns. was most encouraging, not«
lulthstandlng a deficit of “it, accruing
from the moonllshi sail and due to the
i inclement weathei‘ or that evening.
1 E. Hopkins reported for the member-‘1
iship committee: A. N. Sherwood forl
the Good Cltilonship committee, and‘1
ASpartan St. John reported for the1
1 Social Committee.
President Morgan in his address:
ioutlined the work for the coming sen-
ison. He urged the members to sup 1
port the services and work of the'
1churcl1 and emphasized the need of
‘soclabllity amoug the members He;
éspoke of the possibility of a federat-
ed movement among the various
Brotherhoods of the churches in the
interelt of the city.
1 Hearty applause greeted
1tl1oughtful and earnest address.
1 The piano solo of Wilfred Robins
1were well rendered and enjoyed by
the men.
' The president then introduced Dr. E. i
1.l-l Gumbart principal of the Norwalk‘
lHigh school. who gave an address -on
1“E uropean Diplomacy." Dr, Gumbart
was thoroughly conversant with Abe
history of European diplomacy, and
l
1
this
diplomacy with a wealth of historical
data that was of absorbing interest to
his listeners. He characterized the
old'type of diplomacy as being that of
secrecy and subterfuge, and the pres-
ent war was attributed to this type.
1In the diplomatic game as hearing on
the present struggle the diplomats of
the allied nations had outguessed and
1out-manoeuvered the German diplo-
matic force.
The present alignment of forces was
largely due to this diplomatic strategy.
Dr. Gumbart defined the new diploma~
.cy, practiced by the American govern-
‘ment as being that open. honest and
straight dealing. Dr. Gumart swept
the whole field of international rein.~
tions and the earnest attention given
him by auditors attested their apprecia-
tion. This address should be heard by
walk. ,
Refreshments, consisting of pump-
kin pie, cheese, crullers, cake and cof
fee, were sen ed by the appointed com-
mittee—L happen. 1.. Dunn. W. Aus-

broke up, well pleased with the even
