Preced- ng the annual meeting the ladies of he church served supper. Rev. H. /. Maler, pastor, read his annual re- ort as follows Pastor Maier's Report “Tho year 1917 has been one of range experiences in the life of the irst church. This is not to be won- ered at when one looks at the con- ition of the world But the condi- on of the world is not wholly re- onsible for our experiences. We started the year with bright rospects, the every member canvass vl insured an adequate support for work; we had a full quota of -dined workers; Mr. Thienes was in of religious education, and eelye in charge of church mis- onary work. It was thought that the beasurer of the society and the treas- rer of the church ought to be re- leved of the detail of their work, and s there was much that a lady pas- s assistant could do, the pastor as asked to secure such a helper. ever were there brighter prospects head. ‘Soon, though, these plans began to affected adversely; early in Feb- ¥ Mr. Thienes was asked to ac- pt work in the Woodard Avenue longregational church, Detroit, and scided that he should take up work here, and asked to be released from s engagement with us, with re o had to accept his resignation. After careful investigation the bmmittee recommended that Edward Cowles be asked to take up Mr. hienes’ work and we congratulated irselves on having found such a orthy successor to Mr. Thienes. To bmplete our corps of workers the hstor asked Miss N hel Hayes Hart, assistant at Keene. New to become secretary and L ant in this church; she fcepted to begin work the first of 1y. It looked now as if our troubles re over. In reality they were just pginning. The same week that Mr. hienes left our country declared at a state of war existed with the erman empire and all of our ought were turned to what it ust means to us all. Our youns en must our men who ocould fon it was discovered had a serious allment which sitated his fmmediately resign- ing and giving his attention to re- | covering his health. We reluctantly | released him. This change was very disturbing for it was near time | for starting our vocation school and | as he was the one who had the mat- | ter in hand, we were without leader- | ship. Mrs. Seelye was called in the last moment and asked if could assume the task. She up the task and with the help of Mis: Hart, most efficiently carried on the | work, and the school had its most | successful year. “It revealed also a fact that many of us had suspected for some time, that our women are our best finan- ciers; for the work was done on two thirds of the expense of previ- ous years and this in the face' of rising prices. “Miss Hart has been with us long enough for us to find out something of her worth, and had started on a well-carned vacation when her father | was taken 11l and she was called homo. The illness proved to be a fatal one, but one of a lingering character and she was needed at hame. We were asked to release her from her engage- ment and it seemed right that we should let her go. “Her father has since died, but her she | took | i al Bducation Society | Congreg: NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1918. other is now in a very serious con- itian. This, I think, ¢nds our chap- pr of tragedi “The war made it impossible for us p find suitable persons to take either fr. Cowles' or Miss Hart's place who ould give their whole time to our ork. We cansider ourselves fortu- ate in securing Elden H. Mills, of flartford seminary, and Miss Grace O rang, of the Kennedy School of Mis. ons, to give us part-time service. “The church has been remembered ring this year. By the will of Mrs, rah A.
