Merriam of Hartford in Charge. Tn accordance with custom and curriculum, the middle class of Hart- ford. Theological seminary on Oct. 25 gathered in the Lebanon Congregation- al church, Rev. E. B. Smith, pastor, for a day of conference and study of the Rural church. The expedition was under the direction of Prof. A. R. Mer- rlam of the seminary, who had pre- pared a careful programme. Meeting with the students as leaders of the day’'s discussion were Sherrod Soule, secretary of the Connecticut Home Missionary society: E. T. Root, sec- retary of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island federation: President R. De- Witt Mallary of the Springfield Inter- national Training school; Revs. H. A. Beadle of Franklin, W. F. White of Ledvard and W. F. English of East Windsor. A Wonderful Old Town. The day’s conference elded large fresults, For such a gathering few places could hgve been found better than this old town with its noble his- tory. In his opening address Secre- tary Soule referred to the six govern- ors, six U. S. senators, clergymen, one hundred college graduates, several forcign mis- sionaries, and others of merit whom this old town has sent forth. The old “War Office” was visited by the assembled company. Past and Present Contrasted. With this as a backsroung, the dif- ference between the past and the pres- ent not only of Lebanon but of rural New England was earnestly studied. Secretary Soule spoke with strong op timism of the coming slory of rural New England and of the men yet to be sent forth. Potential Forces. Secretary Root contributed a careful analysis of the rural situation and of the forces to be employed in regen- erating our country life. These h voloped along the lines of educ industry and religion. To thes added as a fourth line the po forces of the town; for in the town meeting are determined lating to the roads vital public necessities was lauded as a splendid combins of many of the featu most neec in rural life. T { danger lay in its tendency to become a source mere- | ly of entertainment rather than of ministry to the problems of its com- munity. The rural church was de- clared to be the greatest source both of inspiration and of initiativ for community betterment. Most rural problems, said Mr. Root, are ultimate- Iy moral. They are duc to greed, in- difference, and apathy toward fown improvement. Proverbial Hospitality. A luncheon served by the Jadies w well cared for, the seminary men de- claring that though in population Leb- anon may not now be what it once was, in hospitality her young ladies of today are in nowise inferior to those who entertained duc <e Lauzun's Zouaves during the winter of 1779-80. Problem of Degeneracy. President Mallary opened the after- noon session with a discussion of the problems of morality in rural districts. The entire problem of degeneracy as there found was handled in a masterly way. Solace of Country Pastor. Following Dr. Mallary, Rev. H. S. Beadle of Franklin spoke on the Joy and Rewards of the Ru Pastor. dwelt on the variety of 5 brought within his h, and o intimacy which he may have with his people, clos than that of the city pastor. Ideal Community. Rev. W. F. White of Ledyard read a strong paper on Regeneration and Modernization of our rural life. He brought into ac- tion a chart of an “ideal” community in New York state, showing the loca- tion of schools and church, the loca- tion and moral quality of each home, and the noted men and women sent forth. He urged the men to. live and die as country minister Native Population Vastly Out- the Conservation, numbered. Rev. Wm. ¥. English of East Windsor closed the conference th statistical study. He found that dur- ing the past fifty years Connecticut has increased in rative population 38 per cent. in foreign population 469 per cent. Five New England states are today as follows: Rural For- Ing cign Ve P.cent. P.cent. P.c Rhode Istand.. Massachusetts Connecticut New Hampshire. . Vermont From these figures the the foreign popuiation to population is readily seen. A Negative Blessing. In speaking of rural concervat relation of the rural m as an incubus to progress, Mr. Bngzlish | declared it a blessing since “when you once get a thing done, thvugh it takes ten years to do it, you know it will stay there for a generation to come.” Practical Discussions. Throughout the day qu ns were freely asked and discussion was gen- eral.” The points chiefly emphas were (1) the coming economic cial development of rural life: need of closer organization rural church onsolidation some- where and co-operation everywhere: (3) the country pastor s uni builder. and (§) the wortt fulness of rural ministr: Prof. Merr declared ence to be the most fruit fying of any thus far held HAMBURG Brief Porsonal Notes of Local Interest.
