PLAINFIELD Interesting and Practical Addresses at Conference of Six Churches. The November meeting of the con- Ference of six churches was held on Wednesday, the .3d, at Plainfield. Stomy weather diminished the at- tendance. However, the renovated au- ditorium, the floral decorations and the gracious hospitality of the entertalning church rewarded the atiendants, rep- resenting all of the churches. Rev. Messrs, Arneld and Gane led the devotions. The sermon was preach- ed by Rev. Sherrod Soule of Hartford, secretary of the Connecticut Home Missionary society. The text, Ps, 107: 9, “For he satisfieth the hungry scv_ul." was illustrated by the story of Philip, the evangelist and Ethiopean ruler. There is a divine reward of faith, of instruction and of leadership and ser- vice for the inquiring' soul. Afternoon Session, The scribe of the conference, Rev. C. H. Peck, conducted the afternoon gession. Encouraging reports were given from the churches as to mission- ary committees and systematic benev- olence. Mrs. Gane read a paper by Mrs. D. §. Robinson of Jewett City, How One Woman Became Interested in Missions. An address by Secretary Soule was reminiscent of the missionary enter- prise of our conference and state churches in sending pastors and other volunteers into the regions of Ver- mont .and New Hampshire, and later iis iarger fields of missionary, college and other work. Among those were Benedict of Plainfield, Levi Hart of Griswold and Lewuel T_’!er of Pres- ton. Rev.
