Our rec- ords for December, 1916, show that the total attendance for the five sessions was 2,005, or an average of 401. While we did not equal the 1878 record, the result was a very gratifying one, and attempt will be repeated on some ure occasion. Fifteen members of the school were present at every one of the 53 sessions during the year, and the record of Horace F. Church for perfect attend- ance for every Sunday during the past 17_years is most remarkable. The report of the church clerk will show that accessions to the church membership during the year by bap- tism numbered 28, and of this num- ber every person was a member of the school. “Three other members of the school joined the church by letter and six other members of the school by experiencé, making a total of 37. The instruction class for the junior members of our school has been con- tinued and is now In its third season. I believe that the work of the school has been most consistent and more ~long the lines of modern Sunday school methods thap ever before in its history. We pray that God's richest blessing may rest upon our efforts during the coming year. George A. Ashbey as treasurer rear his report, which shows the Sunday school's finances in excellent condition. Other reports heard were the report of the library committee, of which Henry H. Pettis is chairmap, and the report of the home department, of which Mrs. C. G. Ambler is superinten- dent. Preston Chapel Work. Supt. Anna B. Storms of Preston chapel read her report as follows: We have been much encouraged this year by a letter from a former mem- bers tellin= of the good she received in the Preston chapel Sunday school, and also by the hearty response of friends and former members in helping to secure for the school new Bibles and song books. G. A. Turner made one session very enjoyable by rendering several solos, and at another time Mr. Potter of the Connecticut Temperance union gave us a talk which was much appreciated. After several years of absence in another city, we were glad to wel- come among us one of the original members, Mrs. Franklin Allyn. but on Dec. 12th her work was finished and she passed on to her reward.

Through their president, Charles D. Noyes, the board"of managers report- ed _as follows: The past year has been rather quiet and uneventful. Five meetings have been held. Attendance has been good and deep interest in the business af- fairs of the church has been clearly manifested. The various committees of the board have handled matters entrusted to them with good judsment and marked ability, and the vear ended with all bills paid and a balance in the church treasury. The church condition. No mistake was made when you voted that the trusses supporting the roof of the church should be thorough- ly reconstructed. Careful inspection shows that the work then done was a perfect success and that the roof is now absolutely tight for the first time since the building was completed. This work_involved quite a large expendi- turé and added very materially to the expense of renovation and decoration, which was carried through at the same time. auditorium 1is In fine Three Year Pledges. The three-year pledges, with which these costs are expected to be paid within that time, have now been in ef- fect for one year, and the record shows. that a substantial amount of the debt has been extinguished. We will have to do better, however, for the next jwo years, or this object will not be lly attained within the three-: period. A little more effort on the part of our people will accomplish this desirable result. Is it not well worth trying for? The changes in the seating of the chu auditorium, due to widening of pulpit platform, removal of some seats, and widening = and straightening of aisles, rendered gbsolete the old plan of the seating, making it practteally useless. The church is under obliga- tion to Mr. Raymond Grant, who vol- unteered to make a new plan in ac cordance with changed conditions. The work is complete and the dlagram is in_use. This was a_happy ‘thought on the part of our hm!h?- and has saved the church from quit€ a bill of expense. It _is pleasing to note that the trust funds are increasing in a substantial manner. The objects of these funds are without doubt carried deeply in the minds of many of our members and further increase may be confl- dently looked for in coming years.

Mabel was arrested in the ra¥road station by Patrolman Gaffney Wed- nesday afternoon. He found her in a drunken condition the waiting room. Mabel's case Is most interesting and pathetic. For vears she has been out of her mind and drresponsible for her actions. Yet the only method of helping her has been to sentence her to jail time after time 'in different cities, letting her come out for short periods to be the tool of whomever she might meet. this city. One of the letters was re- ceived by Hoyle'’s roommate, Daniel Thompson, of Taftville, who came to this city with Hoyle, and who has been his roommate since, but it does not tell where the marriage took place.

She has by her own con- fession been an _inmate of various houses of prostitution. and has been arrested in New York and Hartford, as well as New London and Norwich. 1t is stated that there are many cases in the New London jail where the pris- oners at_least border on feeble mind- edness. Examinations in other jails Tas shown that many of the prisoners have the minds of children from eight to ten years of age. Accordingly in many places the practice has been formed of securing a mental examina- tion of prisoners who may be mentally irresponsible, this examination taking place either at the court at the time of trial or at the jail. These needing other care than the jail are then trans- ferred. This is especially important in the case of female prisoners who fre- quently give birth to feeble-minded children, who in _turn may have to pass through the same wretched ex- istence. Unden the Connecticut law the sher- iff may apply to the governor for the transference to the asylum of such prisoner_as Mabel King, and Sheriff Sydney Brown has done 8o in this case.
