JEWETT CITY Congregationalists Met in Conferencs of Six Churches—Proverbial Straw- berry Shortcakes of Newent Waei Bountifully Provided—Rev. M. J. Fuller of Niantic Elected Registrar. The conference of six churches. oCn- gregational, was held at Newent church on Wednesday, there being a very large attendance. The morning dévo- tional service was led b Rev. W. H, Gane, pastor of the Congregational church in Jewett City. The sermon was by Rev. Montie J. B. Fuller of Hanover, whose theme was Miracles. His text was taken from Matt, 14. He said all Christian believers should re- turn to their belief in miracles. If ‘we do not get back to faith'in miracles all preaching and teaching is vain. The miracles in the natural world we see. They are the constant interfer- ence of God for the good of humanity. Rev. Frank Fuiler extended a most cordial invitation from the ladies of the church to dinner served im the parsonage. The ‘strawberry short- cakes are proverbial as the feature of the Newent conference menu. and with. the abundance of other edibles, the dinner was “out.of sight” in more ways ‘than one. At the opening of the afternoon ses- slon Rev. Luther Kenneston of Pres- ton City presided. = Duri the devo- tional service Miss. Dorothy Scott of Preston sang a solo. - The minutes .of the 1ast conference were. read by Rev. Frank Fuller. As he is soon to go away, Rev. Montie J. B, Fuller of 'Han- over -was elected to fill the position of registrar. Paper Arouses Discussion. Rev, Frederic Bamford of Plainfield, who hag the opening paper in the conference in the afternoon. spoke most highly of Mr, Fuller’'s serviee and help in the conference, which was en- dorseéd by a rising vote. Mr. Bamford's paper was The Requirements of Church Membership, and caused much discus- sion among the ministers later. He said in _part: The once uncondi- tional and ethical ideal has been dim- med and shadowed by worldly com- promise. Our speech and our deings are of interest to the antiquary. but for all serlous, - practical, forceful and aspiring life our churches do not count. One of the greatest, if not the greatest, characteristic of the age, in its attitnde toward the gospel is in- difference. This is common in the church itself, as well as in the world outside of the church. Many in the churches are satisfled with an exter- nal application of what i8 to them the gospel remedy, and they are indifferent to the gospel as an intermal cure. The result is that many outside the church- Seymour.—The engagement of Miss Julia Canfield, granddaughter of the late Letsom T. Wooster, of Seymour, to John B.

Winsted.—The most important real ' estate deal here in some time was practically completed Saturday when | papers were drawn transferring the ! andsome residence of Mills E. Nor- ! Fairview avenue, to Winsted | 844, B, P. O. Elksw | es are indifferent to both the exter- nal and the internal treatment. Being a Christian is something more than believing a certain set of crgads presented by the church. It is a’ sad misconception of the church, fatal alike to both dootrine and practice which ‘permits the thought to be got abroad in the world. that being a Christian is simply, obedience to church ethies and its pafticular creeds. When goodness becomes merely passive .and respect- able, it ceases to be Christian. Tt is not enough that we be what we ecall “born again” ‘but that 'we apply our new life to every existing circum- stance. S g This §s what the church stands for, or ought to stand for. It is duty 3 of the church to make this matter of practical conversion very plain to ev- ery ‘would-be member.. There is no Jov in a half-enlisted life, Tt is people whe go at thing8 with gll thelr hearts , that get the real pleasure out of life. : If one is going to be a Christian it is better: to be ene -out-and out, heart enlisted, active and earnmestlv engaged.

Of course they are unhappy. Let ts enter the Christian life with real zeal if we en- ter at all. Let us give ourselves wholly. Then shali we be fulfilling the principles of the ideal church. We shall arrest the crowd with the marvel of a transformed and transfigured church. o s Paper on Obligations. The second paper was by Rev. Fran- cis 8. Child of Griswold on The Ob- ligations of Church Membership. As Mr. Child was unable to be present, the paper was read by Rev. Lemuel Fuink of Norwich. It contained the thirteen obligations of the church in Cambridge of which Mr. Child is a member,“and gave Mr. Child's idea of how a Sabbath day should be spent. The remdinder of the session was taken up in discnssing’ Mr. Bamford's paper, pro and con. The church was dec- orated with roses and ferns, and the ancient pewter communion service was upon the communion table, everyone present being much interested to see it and hear its history.
