Daily Lenten Bible reading and
meditation prepared for Commis-
sion on Evangelism of Federal
Council of Churches.
“WEDNESDAY
The Raf of Truth
"And Herod feared John. knowing
that he was a righteous and holy
man." Mark620.
Read Mark 6:14-29.
“There are errors which are as
ilcrco as wolves and as pitiless as
hyenas. they tear faith and hope and
love to places."
MEDITATION: To invest a life
whether by long years of toil. or by
one supremo sacrifice, to truth and
righteousness. is to build that life into
the enduring structure of the King-
dom. May we not count the habards
for truth. but rather the opportunities.
HYMN:
Fear not. I am with thee, 0 be not
dismayed: '
For I am thy God, I will still give
thee aid: '
I'll str'cngtficn thee, help thee. and
cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous. omnipotent
hand.
PRAYER: O Lord. support us all
the day long of this troubious life, un-
til the shadows lengthen. and the
evening comes. and the busy world is
hushed. and the fever of l|fc is over.
and our work is done. Then of thy
great mercy grant us a. safe lodging.

That- the Prize Campaign of the
Evening Sentinel will close with even
greater activity than has marked the
close of' the different periods of the
campaign can clearly be seen as the
final day approaches. On every hand
the candidates are» hurrying to this
or that person who has promised to
)1 them or who is to give them a
re ewal, seeking 'such help while
there is yet time.
One thing is certain, however. at
least so far as the candidates are con-
cerned. and that is that. no single
person who has promised will be per-
mitted to Shirk. With the campaign
so evenly contested. and the awards
so large. no candidate can afford to
pass up a single subscription and no
one knows that more than the work-
are themselves.
The following well-known business
men have beenselected by The Eve.
ning Sentinel to act as Judges at. the
close of the Prize Campaign Satur-
day night and have consented to act
in that capacity: C. Otis Fitch. cash-
iEr. City National Bank: Spencer S.
Adams. assistant treasurer. South
Norwslk Trust Co.: Charles W. Go.
gen. assistant cashier. National Bank
of No alk: Cyrus M. Benedict.
treasurer.rCentrsl Trust Co.
The Evening Sentinel feels it has
been fortunate in securing the co-dp-
erstlbn of these gentlemen. and can-
didates may finish‘theirywork in the
campaign with the knowledge that
their interests will be protected
every way. The judges will take
chat-goof the ballot box immediately
following the close Saturday night.
Most of the candidates are follow-
ing out. the advice of the manager. to

It is presumed that every candidate
has read the closing rules and will
govern themselves accordingly. The
campaign ‘wiJl positively close at 8.
o'clock Saturday night. All subscrip-
tions must: be in the office at that
'hour or before. Candidates , having

None will be accepted after 8 o'clock

the office at that time. W
Candidates should be sure to bring
their reserve 'vote coupons to the
campaign office Saturday. A, ballot
box will be there, into which they are'
to deposit their votes. These votes-
are the white slips that were issued”.

D. W. Harford. eXofire chief and.
secretary of the S. F. A., in speaking
on fire prevention at the Rialto The-
atre last. evening. said that the recent, '
disaster had forcibly brought. to the
mind of the people of Norwalk tile
need for better fire fighting equip-
ment. and also for the need of taking
precautions against fire. The speed
with which the fire. spread at the Clif-
ford was spoken of by Mr. Barford
as being one example of the need to:
precautions at. all times, despite which
