Bach church was entitled to Tepresentation through its pastor and four delegates. Moderator Henry D. Johnson, who was elected at the last meeting, called the conference to order, prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Gane of Jewett City, and Rev. E. C. Ingalls of Col- chester was subsequently appointed tor; Rev. Eugene P. Smith of Lébanon, scribe. The minutes of the forty-seventh annual meeting held in Stonington were read by Rev. Edward S. Worces— ter of Broadway church and accepted. The treasurer's report was also read and_accepted, showing a balance of $8.07 in the general fund and $107.68 in the delegates’ fund. The following business committee was appointed by the moderator: Re S. H. Howe, D. D, of Park church, Rev. C. H. Peck of Hanover and Judge Alfred Coit of New London. It was Voted to name the delegates to the na- tional council from the floor. The choice of delegates was put over till 145 o'clock. Rev. E. S. Worcester presented the report of the missionary committee, in which he referred to the success in raising the apportionment, stating that twenty-three of the churches had con- tributed to all the seven individual Societies. Reference was also made to the help given some of the churches. The order of business was adopted as presented by the committee, com- prising Henry D. Jjohnson, Waterman R. Burnham and Rev. E. S. Worces- ter. Need of Christian Activity. . At 11 _o'clock a_devotional service was conducted by the retiring modera- tor, Mr. Johnson. Rev. H. J. Wyckoff of the Second church read the scrip- ture and offered prayer. Moderator Johnson then delivered a forceful ad- dress, eaving in part: There are certain conditions exist- ing in the town of Norwich, and when I speak of Norwich I dare say the same is true of other towns in the county. These conditions exist because the Christian men and women are not doing their duty when they allow them to exist. In the main these con- ditions exist through the non-enforce- 1 ~while activity, yet laws_is because of Christian inactivity. The laws of @ community will be enforced or_not as the sentiment is. With the rapidly changing condi tions in_our Connecticut towns owing to the incoming in such great num- bers of the foreigners with their dif- ferent ideas we owe a duty to these newcomers as well as to ourselves to sec that the laws are observed. If we allow to exist the example of our own people disregarding the laws, how can we expect the foreigner to obey them I fing a strong tendency on the part of local authorities, and no doubt it is the same in other towns, not to change existing conditions, which have been so for some time or even a long time, even though they are contrary to the law, without a strong moral backing in_favor of such chanee, and surely in this town there has been no recent evidence of a strong desire for a change. Individually we may have hoped for better conditions, but we have not done anything unitedly. 1 have been told of a former official that he eaid he would go just so far as the people would support him, and I am sure that our present officials will do the same. I understand that recently an official in another city said that becausé the people demanded it he advocated the open saloon and open store on Sunday. Be it to the credit of the voters of that city that man was defeated when he tried for re- clection. But the lesson is there. That official advocated those things because he felt the people demanded them. If those who have no regard for the Sab- bath, or the law, and the foreigners who 'are bringing in their new ideas, make demand for certain things or do certain things, and those who do or should stand for better things imake no protest, or do mot even make known their feelings, what think you will be the attitude of your officials? Wil they not allow present \conditions to Temain and even other things which are contrary to the law to creep in? Laws which are not obeyed are worse than no laws, for it teaches a spirit of lawlessness. My purpose in speaking along this Hne is this: If the Christian people are to stand for righteousness: if we are to stem the tide of evil which will surely advance unless we become more active, we must Go more than we have done: ‘we must insist that existing laws be enforced. We do not need mnew laws, but the enforcement of existing laws, and to be more effective T would advocate that those who stand for moral uprightness in the different towns be orgamized, not as represent- ing any part of the church. or any de- nomination, but @s Christian men and women (let- us remember that the women may have a part), manifesting a loyalty to the town in which, they ment of the law. and speaking upon Christian am live, and so_to the state and nation, and a love for humanity and its bet- terment. 1f we find it necessar: ganization in our local should we not have organization this broader fleld? This may seem like a great undertaking to us, but what must it have meant to those who started the American _board, about which we are to hear today. But they sald “We can do it if we will” and by the grace of God they did it, end think what that great organization Started by a faithful few has accom-— plished! Let ue plan for and do great things. Men are attracted by lange undertaik- ings; that I feel has been one of the secrets of the euccess of the laymen’s i movement, the greatness of the task has attracted and interested men of means and influence. We from the different towns can better conditions if we will, if we will live the word, be instant in season, out of season. in Registr: After the address, Rev. Mr. Worces- ter, the registrar, presented a comprehensive report of the condition of the ghurches, which was accepted. At the conclusion of his report he pre- sented his resignation, stating that his duties as pastor of Broadway church prevented him from continuing 2e reg- istrar, for which he was elected in 1904. The nomination of a successor was turned over to the business committee. 10cal players promise to show them a few points wbout the game.

A recess was taken at 12.15 until 1.30, during which a nice luncheon was served in the Sunday school room by an efficient committee of the ladies of the church. Reports and Action. From 1.30 to ‘L4E o'clock there was a fine programme of organ music by Or- sanist Frederick W. Lester, and at 1.45 the conference was called to order again for business by Moderator In- galls. A preliminary ballot for dele- gates and alternates to the national council, which is triennnal ang is held in_Boston next October, was taken. ‘While the counting of the ballots was in progress Judge Alfred W. Coit of New London reported for the advisory committee, outlining the way in which it might serve as a convenient clear- ing house of ideas between the churches, members and pastors. The report was accepted. A resolution was presented by Rev. Mr. Holden of Preston City providing for the appointment of a committee of five to encourage and enforce civic jus- tice, morality and virtue. In presenting the resolution the mover showed that it applied particularly to the interpreta- tion of license law by the county com- ions anq also to Sunday observ- ance. Action on the resolution was deferred and the report of the business commit- tee was called for, which was presented by Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe. On their rec- ommendation Rey. W. H. Palmer was made a_director of the Missionary So- ciety of Connecticut. Next Meeting in Jewett City. ‘The matter of dssolving the Swedish Congregational church in this city was referred to the advisory commottee, anqg also to the same committee the re- duction of the rate of contribution to the fund for national council traveling expenses. Jewett City was recommend- ed and adopted as the place for the next meeting. The standing committee for next conference is to consist of the moderator, Rev. Mr. Ingalls of Colches- ter, the Jewett City pastor, Rev. W. H. Gane, and the registrar. Rev. H. J. Wyckoff was appointed to the advisory committee. Rev. E. S. ‘Worcester's resignation as registrar wag accepted with regret, and Rev. C. A Northrop was appointed to the place ©of registrar. The committee recommended adher- ence of the conference to the immemo- rial custom of organizing the confer- ence by making up its roll before elec- tion or the transaction of any kind of business. This recommendation was shown to be in criticism of the pro- ceedings of this conference, when the roll was not miade up this way. Rev. Dr. Howe, Rev. Mr. Worcester and oth- ers dicussed the subject. The recom- mendation was adopted. Rev. C. H. Peck of Hanover and Rev. H. T. Arnold read a list of about forty pastors and laymen who had re- celved votes for delegates and alter- nates to the national couneil. Rev. W. E. Strong Heard. As the time had arrived for the ad- dress by Rey. Willlam E. Strong of Boston, election of delegates was de- ferred 'till later, and Dr. Strong took the pulpit for his address upon the topic, “The Achievement of 100 Years,” which he defined was to cover the achievements of the Christlan church in the non-Christian world. It had been within the last 100 years that missions had been established, he said, and to get any business started out of nothing was an achlevement worth noting. It had taken money, even more brain: and great spiritual power. He sketch ed the difficulties of the first mission- avies. Now as @ Tule in all countries missions have the respect and encour- agement of the best thinking classes. But the thing that is most essential and distinctive is that the Christian church has reproduced itself in these foreign lands, and its disciples have been touched by His life and are living in the land, the picked people, the flow erof those?lands, which shall be potent to bear seeq for the future. The Chris- tian church is'now native to these for- eign lands. Africa, China and other fields have their own home mission- aries. Another indirect influence has been the restraint put upon tho non—Chris- tian religions, resulting in changes in public sentiment and native laws which were brutal and could not stand j the light of new thought induced b. the Christian missionaries. There is also @ new appreciation of human life and the common rights between man and man. And the supreme and great thing achieved by the Christian church has been to into the east a new idea of God. The child’s attitude tow- ard a father is an absolutely new re- ligious idea for them. They were Tid- den by fear, and over against that the Christlan church has carried in the new idea of God.as a father. Has this not been =n achievement worth while? On motion of Waterman R. Burn- ham, a rising vote of appreciation for the addres& was tendered to the speaker. Délegates Chosen. ‘Then ihe. election of delegates was taken up.. &t as accomplished by a vote which directed the scribe to cast the ballot for the four ministers and two laymen having the highest num- ber of votes, which elected the follow- ing delegatés: Rev. H. A. Beadle of Frankln, Rev, C. H. Peck of Hanover, Waterman R. Burbham, Broadway, Norwich; alternates, Rev. G. H. Ewing of Norwich Town, Rev. W. F. White of Ledyard ang H. D. Johnson, Norwich Second. Rev, Mr. Holden then brought up again his motion on the committee of five to further political rectitude in New London county and elsewhere as far as possible. He spoke in favor of it. ‘The resolution was adopted by a standing vote of 16 to 6. Following the request of Rev. Mr. Holden that the nomination of this committee be referred to the business committee, there was an animated dis- cussion. Judge Coit said he hoped this would not be referred to the commit- tee, as the majority were opposed to the motion. Dr. Howe also opposed action, as he said the vote had been too small to commit the conference| and as Congregationalists they wanted to have uothing to do with anything that smelled of politics. 'No action on the naming of the committee was taken, and the conference proceeded to the next business on a point of order made by Rev. Mr. Worcester that they were departing from the adopted pro- gramme. The Outlook. Then came a symposium upon the general topic of The Outlook. For The Acceleration of Christian Progress was the theme interestingly presented ¥ Rev. W. F. Wnite of Ledyard. There ave signs of advance, he said, along all iines. The women were never more progressive, the formation ot men's clubs i gOME on every- where, There Is ever increasing ad- vocacy of the rule of righteousness by those great men who are moulding the thought of the world, and we aure moving towards the holiness of God victorious Jn power and life. Ten minute discussions _on sub- divisiens of the topic The More Gen- eral Acceptance of Regpénsibility were the next theme. Geerge F. Hyde dis- 1o e wmnnmlty. nam was treated ckstts. He referred now being to mhllon:;'y effort. is presen ‘ana more_a te ey 45 seit-neip and | independence in ] missionary ficld. The so-called pagan nations of the world are rapidly developing a political consciousness which is due largely to Christian_missions. Thirdly, the sup- port of Christian missions is working itself down to the bedrock of a scien- tific basis, and finally there is a rapid growth of man’s conception of his larger missios responsibility. The great Jehovah still thundering against Godless Pharaoh and we are moral cowards if we hear not the cry of the victims of drink and the white slave tramic. + - Rey. Mr. Danforthof New London spoke on The Outlook for Deeper Spiritual Life. The years have been burning away the barriers and man is coming closér and closer to a deeper spiritual life. The outlook is expressed in the motto of Connecticut, which is also the motto of the Christian _church, that he who led us across shall still sustain. There ig the brightest of all outlooks for the deeper spiritual life. On motion of Rev. Beadle, a vote of thanks to the entertaining church was given by risig. This was followed by adjournment of the conference at about 445 p. m. brmv mxa hs’ ‘The present o Delegates Present. The following was the regi delegates to the conferenc Bozrah—Mr. and Mrs. C. J.

He had deserted and found his way through the wilder- ness to Norwich. Forty vears after- wards he described the following scene in the old church in such vivid colors that this is but a remembered tran- script of his recollections: “‘The services commence; the ser- mon_contains many pointed allusions to the critical state of affairs; just as it is finished a loud shout is heéard upon _the .plain, the trampling of a hurried_horse, an outcry of alarm, which brings the audience upon its feet, Uproar enters the porch. the bell is violently rung, several persons rush into the body of the church and amid the confusion nothing can be heard but “A battle! A battle has taken place on Bunker hill! The Brit- ish are beat! Hurrah! Hurrah!” The audience rush out upon the plain and gather around the panting courier; his despatches are read aloud; rejoicing and indignation, patriotism and mili- tary fire, hatred of British tyranny and defiance of British power, take tix: place of those quiet devotional feel- ings with which they assebled to- gether.’ " Claims Relationship. The members of the Willimantic church are proud to claim relationship to the First Congregational church of Norwich through the Windham chureh. vhen the latter church held its an- niversary a few vears ago, greetings from the mother church in Norwich were given by its pastor, Rev.

TAFTVILLE Six-Inch Water Main to Be Laid on Hunters Avenue—Nsws Notes About the Villag In order to lessen the danger from fire and so to reduce fire insurance on Hunters avenue, a number of local people have been granted permission by the Ponemah company to lay a 6- inch water main along that avenue. The pipe will connect with the main on Merchants avenue, and it is hoped to continue it out to the corner of Pratte avenue, a_distance of nearly a thousand feet. The present plans are to put in a hydrant about opposite the new parochial school, another at the corner of Pratte and Hunters avenue, and probably one in between these. It is stated that the main will not be connected with the houses along the avenue, as they have or will have wa- ter from the water pipe now in us and which extends a considerable dis- tance beyond Pratte avenue. It i planned to put in the new pipe line a soon as possible: so that it will be finished before the proposed grading and filllng in of Hunters avenue are begun. The company’s men are put- ting up a fence along the road at this point. OBITUARY. Harry I. Corbett. * The many friends of Harry I.
