Willilams gave his annual address, postponed from Tues- day afternoon, his theme being Indi- viduallsm. He spoke as follows: Address by President Williams. One by one the days haye gone since our meeting together in Hartford last November. Bach day has had its own duties and opportunities; and the year bhas been successful or otherwise in proportion as each day has been right- ly used. I hope that with each of you the opportunities of the days were not neglected, and that thus the year has been rounded out with a rich harvest of achievement. Great things have been achieved by men who have independently fol- lowed the leading of their own genius. We are told that “In a multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Safe things, however, are seldom brilliant. A successful general will listen to the advice of his officers; but in the end he himself must decide upon his course of action. - Some of Napoleon's bril- | liani achievements were brought about L almost in direct antagonism to the rec- | ognized rules of warfare. Sherman made his famous march through Geor- gia to the Sea by cutting loose from his base of supplies; something that in the eves of students of the art of war must be fatal to any expedition. Not all, however, are geniuses. Not | every ome is a born leader of men. But each one has his own individuality | to_develop or suppress. { Progress along any line is really | made only when one follows out his | own plans unswervingly. He may he influenced—indeed must be—by what others have done and thought. Any young man would be foolish not to seek, and profit by, the advice of others. But after all he will succeed only when he refuses to be turned aside from his clearly marked out course of action. Apt to Follow Others. We are ail of. us too apt to “go with the crowd,” to iry to do as others do. We do.not like to be thought sin- gular or peculiar. The man of inde- pendence of thousht and action is the leader of other men, and the one who will accomplish something that is worth- while. Even that which seems to be done collectively, the achleyement of a group, a soclety, a board of trus- tees or committee, is really due, al- most without exception, to the activ- ity and energy of some one, who by the power of his personality is a lead- er. As society is made up of u mass of individuals, so all progress is the Tesalt of their personal acts, and ex- the power of Individualism. And vet. with il this power of in- dividualism, one cannot live and work entirely independent of others. The power of a strong personality comes to full fruition only as one works with and through others. Value of Independent Thought. My object in what I have said 1% to lead you to realize the value and pow- er of independent thought and activ- ity in the Sunday school, and at the same time to appreciate the necessity of working with others in order to Dbring about the greatest resuits. Our_work is essentially individualis- tic, taking the Sunday school as a unit, ency. Ne_ ‘wo Sunday schools have exactly the same conditions. They vary in size from the small school of an outlying district, to the one in a community with its membership running into the thousands. Some are composed mainly of small children, while others may bave begun to real- ime the possibility of a large adult con- stituency with its great influence on the community. It may be that some of neceseity cam be graded only par- tially, while with others this can be done most thoroughly. And between the extremes come the many in vary- ing degrees of perfection. , ‘Whatever then Is the status of your Sunday school, it stands by itself, and is like no other in all respects. Tt is your part to make the most of your conditions and surroundings. to ar- range as is best for your school, for the division inta groups or depart- ments, to provide the course of study best adapted to your membership, to arrange for special days and for special activities in accordance with your con- ditions. Then again, no two teachers bave the same problems in exactly the same degree. You teachers need to use your own individuality constantly. You may be helped by counsel and cooper- ation. indeed it Is indispensable; but after all you must decide on your methods, and carry out unswervingly the details of work with your class. 1 do not need to go into particulars further. You are studying during these days under experts much better qualified then I am to advisé and sue- | gest, What I am trying to do is fo make you realize the need of indiyld- nal study of your conditions, and of faithful and aggressive independent Work In your own place. Working Together. “Bear ye one another's burdens” said the apostle; but in the same chap- ter he said: “Let every man prove his own work—for every man shall bear his own burden.” All of life is thus somewhat paradoxical. To succepd W8 must work out our own problems: aund yet to succeed we must work (oZeiher With others for mutual advantage. The most successful superintendent or teacher, then, is one who puts into his service the very best that is in| nality and close personal attention and yet who cousuits with others, giv- ing and receiving suggestion and help, enmumgemenz and ihspiration. Or we may pat it this way: Our obligation is fo our own Sunday school, to instruct, to inspire and to train for | service. Upon our falibfulness in these details in our cwn spheres the future of our churches and of our state de- pends. But we can work out our own problems and do everything most effi- ciently only as we associate ourselves with others who are doing the same | things in their schools, and thus give and get help. Personality What Counts. Here is ‘the very kernel of organized Bunday school work. The superinten- dent who is always too busy to meet with other superintendents. when op- ortunity offers, 18 usually the one who fn a few short years finds that he does not progress; that the routine of the sesslons of the Sunday .school gets monotonous, and becomes sure that 801 elss can do better than he in the position, So whatever enthusiasm he m at first soon evaporates, The strong personaiity of a superintendent that makes a Sunday school succeed, or of a teacher that makes a class worth while, is made stronger and meore effective by contact with others who are interested in doing the same things, Impersonally, the Sunday school that is successful in its indi- vidualism is more of a power because it .is associated with the other units of a county, state and international association, FEach ene of our Sunday hools stands im its cemmunity by | how less strongly, all the lives that sur- round it.

I want 10 express here publicly my apprecia- tlon ol the hn ul service rendered by the county officers during the past year. Gradually a couaty comscious- ness is belng developed that is sure to have its effect on t. unday schools of Connecticut. Hartford and New London and Litchfield counties esbe- clally deserve credit for all they have done. I attended, on July 1st, the 50th snniversary of the Litchfield north- west auxillary, one of the districts of Litchfield county. On that hottest day of the summer I found the church in Falls Village filled with the Sunday school people of that northwestern part of our county beautiful. Work of Mr. Woodin. I must not let this opportunity pass without a word in regard to Mr. Wood- in. For nearly two years now he has been among us. He is getting acq- quainted with Connecticut, and you are getting to know him. His inde- fatigable activity and his genius for organization are beginning to show re- sults. Our Sunday schools will feel increasingly the benefit of his service among us and with us. I am soITy to have io make the announcement that Miss Stooker is to leave us. She has so endeared herself to the elementary workers that they will miss her great- ly. The most effective work done through our county associations has been that of the elementary grades. I am sure that with me you will want to wish her “God speed,” as she leaves in December for her new work in Illi- nois. Some of the things I have spoken of and others I might mention make me feel that our Sunday schools are destined in the very near future to oc- cupy a much stronger position as to numbers and influence. The strenuous work of the past dozen years 18 bound to show resuits. The growth numer- ically has not been great, but the work has been intensive. And the Sunday school will soon be recognized as never before as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the world forces today. Election of Officers. The report of the nominating com- mittee was read by Chairman H. H. Spooner and was accepted. The fol- lowing officers were elected: President, 8. H. Willlams of Glastonbury; vice president, James 1. Case of this city; treasurer, H. H. Pease of Hartford: directors for three years, Hartford county, Oscar A. Pheips of Hartford: New Haven county, J.

H. Thayer of Somers. The nominating committee was com- posed of H. H. Spooner of Hartford, F. M. Ward of New Haven, B. F. Peck B. O. Grisbrook of Litchfield, Rev. H. H. Thayer of Tol- land, E. B. Fall of Middlesex, Rev. S. D. Stanley of Windham and Alfred Colt of New Lcndon. Rev. Willlam E. Chalmers delivered an address on The Sunday School and the New Age, and his talk was an in- ter sting and instructive one. Resolutions Adopted. The report of the resolutions com- mittee composed of Rev. P. C. Wol- cott of Naugatuck, Rev. W, S. Beard of Willimantic and Mrs. Lucy Stock Chapin of Hartford was read by the chairman. Resolutions were present- ed and passed expressing appreciation of the work of the officers and all those who cooperated to carry out the programme successfully; of Rev. H. J. Wyckoff and Miss Anita B. Ferris in staging the Sunday schoc] pageant and of those who took part in it and worked for its success; thanks to the eitizens of Norwich for the opening of their homes to the delegates and aiso to the churches. Expressions of re- gret at the resignation of Miss Wil- beimina Stooker and best wishes for her future happiness and success were also a part of the report of the com- mittee and were passed. Address by Prof. Honline, Pro M. A. Honline of New York talked on the Sunday School as An Educational Institution. Nature gives us the raw material, he said, but nur- ture finishes the work. Yours is a work of nurture and as far as you are concerned nature’s work is finished. Hvery child i{s born with physical, in- tellectual, social and religious capaci- tles. Education must deal alike with all four of these capacities and none may be neglected. The question is as to where the boys and girls are to get their religious training. In college a student spends hours on Greek. and Latin and chemistry, but there is no biblical instruction. No man is an educated man without he has had the Bible included in the curriculum of his studies. If the problems before the United States today are ever to be solved, it will be through -the prin- ciples laid down by Jesus of Nazareth. The public schools’ are not doing the work, the high schools are not doing it, the colleges are not dolng it and the home is not doing the work it did 50 years ago. There is work which the home must do for the morals of the child cannot rise higher than his home. The church must give the Te- liglous training and that means it is up to the Sunday school Religious instruction of the vouth of America depends upon the Sunday school teach- er. The work is educational as well as religious and therefore demands trained teachers. The teacher must know the Bible, know the pupil, know to teach, understand Sunday school organization and administration. The teacher must also be a Christian. The pupil may forget what you teach him, but he wiil not forget what he sees in your life. New Americans for New America. Rev. Elmer A. Dent, D. D., of New Haven, spoke on New Americans for New America. He spoke of the great number of nationalllies being poured into the country and said that we are responsible for what comes out of the melting pot. This is a promised land and the eyes of the world on the land of promise above the stars regard us as the land of promise beneath.: He emphasized the part the Sunday school could take in developing the new America and the new Americans. The meeting closed at 5 o'clock. Evening Session. At the evening zathering, the clos- ing session of the convention, prayer was offered by Rev. J. Romeyn Dan- forth of New London and H. H. Bpooner of Kensington gave an address on Temperance Material for the Teach- er, He said that 97 out of every 100 men in the state penitentiary during the last twelve years, to his personal knowledge, started on their road to ruin through drink.

When you face this question you face the souls of those bound up by their -appetites. When you warn the boy you may save his soul for Heaven; if you let him go, you, may leave him to drop to hell It is the everlasting, far-reaching question of his salvation or his loss. Will you miss the chance that when you go to Heaven one will reach out | a hand to you and say: “You saved me Nov. 9, 1913; you don’t know it, but T know"it?” Don’t go at the tem- perance lesson carelessly, wishing that you had some other lesson to teach; remember that there are souls in the balance. You may do your best and your pupils may listen, but through it all must come the grace of God through you. ‘Do you want to claim it and do his will?~ Get ready for the lesson, teach it through the grace of God and win the victory. The Great Commission, The Great Commission was the sub- ject of the address by Rev. Ernest Del’, Miel, D. D., of Hartford, who took as his text the words of the great Commander: “Go and teach.” He urg- ed that all should “go and teach” that there should be a family nowhere without the message of hope and faith and that the church should not feel responsible for its parish alome, but for every family and individual in the state. Be not satisfled, he said, with instruction which fails to reach the in- telligence of the boys and girls you teach. They need the concrete mes- sage whether they want it or not and once sensible of their need -they are eager for it. Remember that behind the message is the character of the teacher, the life being lived evident to those we teach. The safety of our flag depends on the lives of the indi- vidual and the moulding of these lives | is in their religious Instruction. So keep the cross beside the flag in your heart and in serving one you can lift the other above reproach. The convention came to a close with the singing of a hymn. BAPTISTS FLOURISHED ONCE IN CHESTERFIELD. But Church There Has Dwindled in Numbers With Changing Popula- tion. At all of the important meetings of Connecticut Baptists of late the neces- | sity of meeting the new conditions that have arisen in this state on account of the change in the nature of the population has been emphasized. Communities that compartively few years ago were almost entirely com: posed of native borm are now in the hands of the foreign born or their de- scendants. Perhaps no place in this vicinity shows the change more, as far as the Baptists are concerned, than Chesterfield, where most of the old familles have died out or moved away and the names on the rural free deliv- ery mail boxes are almost entirely those of Hebrews. At the recent meeting of the New London Baptist assoclation, at Quaker Hill, J. F. Brown furnished a history of the Baptist church at Chesterfield, which brought out many interesting facts in regard The Chesterfleld Baptists were once very flourishing. Now the member- ship has dwindled to tem, four men and six women keeping up the organ- ization. For a considerable period the church was closed, but five years ago it was reopened and through the ef- forts of Rev. G. C. Chappell of the Union Baptist church of Montville, services are being conducted there every Sunday afternoon, and the at- tendance and interest is all that could be expected under the circumstances. The church property is valued at $1,000 and J. F. Brown of Montville is clerk of the organization. Society First Congregational. In his historical sketch of the church Mr. Brown states that the gen- eral assembly on January 5, 1769, upon the petition of Jonathan Lattimer, Jr., and others of New London and Lyme, formed an ecclesiastical so- ciety and called it Chesterfield. The church was Congregational and a building was erected for a house of worship in 1773, Rev. Mr. Avery be- ing the first pastor. After 1776 the meetings were carried on largely by the Baptists. An attempt was made to reorganize the church, but it failed, and the New Lights qr Separatists bullt a church in 1824, and there was a large ingathering of members. Pastors and Their Work. Mr. Brown's sketch gives the fol- lowing facts in regard to the pastors and the condition of the church: The first pastor was Eider Oliver Wilson, who officlated from 1824 to 1831. At the association meeting in Norwich in 1825 the church reported a membership of 56. In 1826 at the meeting in this city the number en- rolled was given as 69. At Colchester in 1827 the number was 115; at Lyme in 1828, 118- at Lebanon in 1829, 121; at Salem in 1830, 166; at Waterford in 1831, 1890. In September, 1825, the church voted to join the New London association and elected delegates to attend the session in Norwich. Rev. N. K. Shailer served the church as pastor from 1832 to 1835. He was followed by WElder Jonathan Miner, who served for one year at a salary of 200. £ Blder Simeon Shailer was the next to the organization. ! pastor, and the compensation for his year of service was $250. In 1837 Rev. Willlam A. Smith, later a resident of Groton, became pastor and served for two years. His salary | was $170. Rev. William Dickens succeeded to the pastorate in 1840 and acted in tha capacity for a single year. Many Baptisms in 1841, 1 Rev. James Hepburn took up the| work in 1841 and remained with the church for three years, his salary be- ing $220. During his pastorate there | | were many baptisms and the church | flourished. The records show that Brother Rus- sell took up the pastoral work in 1844, Temaining a year. Brother J. B. Bal- lord was hired the next year, he being hired at $3 a day until a pastor could be secured. Brother Gordon supplied fqpf a while. Brother Jacob Gardner took up the work in 1846 at $200 a year, being ordained in the church. His services continued for a single year. Brother Charles Gates was ordained in 1847 and served for two years. In 1849 there was no pastor. From 1850 to 1853 Brother Edgard Cady was in charge of the work. Dur- ing his stay the church went on record as believing that dancing and card- laying is contrary to the word of God and inconsistent with the gospel of Christ. Brother Benjamin G. Goff became pastor in 1833, serving for a year. He was followed by Elder Willlam Biddle and Elder Curfis Keeney. From 1854 to 1857 ther From 1857 to 1859 Rev. Thomas Perry was the pastor. He was ordain- ed in 1858 and it is recorded that his stipend was §250. Brother George Mix- ter took charge in 1860 and during his stay extensive changes were made to the structure. Revival Under Elder Tefft. A. R, Tefit served the church from 1861 to 1866 and a larse revival marked his stay. For two vears there was no pastor, and in 1869 Brother | Warren Walden took charge of the Rev. Leonard F. Lester followed Brother M. P. Maynard was the next pastor, serving from 1871 to 1874. During his stay there was a split in the church, a part of the congrega- tion building a meeting house on the opposite side of the road. The pastorate of Rev. George Les- {ter, from 1875 to 1380° was marked by great prosperity. During that time money was raised to purchase a par- sonag Rev. D, D. Lyon supplied in 1881 to 1882 and In 1833 Rev. Mr. Giles took up the pastorate. He was fol- lowed by Rey., G. L. Hanna in 1885 and in 1886 Rev. Emos J. Bosworth of Montville preached part of the time. From Aug. 1, 1838 to April 1, 1889 Rev. C, N. Nichols was tor, the last clergyman to be settled by the church. For 19 years from 1890 to 1909 the church was closed. Rev. A. J. Wilcox was secured to hold services once a month during the summer in 1909 and in 1910 Rev. George C. Chappell began to supply the church and has kept up the work ever since, although it involves a con- siderable sacrifice on his part to make the journey to and from Chesterfield in addition to his other duties on Sunday. While the church membership 1s small the bullding has been put In £ood repair and the sheds are in ex- cellent condition. The collections and the kind assistance of friends of the church have provided for penses, and all bills are paid. no use for the parsonage, it was sold in 1308 and the money received for the property is on deposit in a saving bank in this citv. Clerks and Deacons. Following' is a list of the church clerks compiled from the records by Mr. Brown: Ezra Moore, Joseph Lattimer, Rob- ert Fargo, William Morgan, O. W. Chapman, J. F. Hewitt, Seth Loomlis, Henry A. Rogers, J. N. Smith, W. T. Thatcher, A. E. Goff and Lucy T. Beck- with. The following have officiatéd as dea- cons: William Tinker, John Lyon, James Ashcroft, Lyman Stewa Clark Daniels, Livy Stewart, James Whiting, Hubbard Chapel, Frank Fox, Church Now 89 Years Old. The church is now 89 years old and 8s long as the €ew remaining mem- bers are spared it is likely that wor- ship will be continued. Most of the people who now live in the district that the church once served so well are now of another race and faith, and there is little chance of gaining new members. The little band, however, belleves in doing its work as long as it can, and there is a willingness to make sacrifices for the good of the cause.
