Superintendent day journed, ould not after our last session ad- . Aldrich, was taken ill and assume full responsibility of s new pastorate untll September 1. Since that time his ministry in Norwich Town has been most acceptable and hi return is earnestly desired, In the sum- mer, iliness required James A. Wood to take a prolonged vacation. Failing to recover hiis health, he asked to be releas- ed from the work at Jewett City and up- on his physician’s advice, Is requesting retived relation. John Thompson and N. D. Woodward were contined to their homes by illness for several weeks. B. F. Raynor, a retired preacher of our district, has twice been in the Deaconese hospital for surgica: treatment. We re- joice that as a result this good man who has suffered long and patiently is in bet- ter health than for years. Death has not broken our district ranks, but S. J. Rook is bereaved in the loss of his mother at the ripe age of eighty-eight. ttawaugan, left to be supplied at the annual conference, has been most satisfactorily shepherded by Rev. J. Carter, a Primitive Methodist minister. For part of the year, South Coventry has been supplied by W. K. Keith, a local preacher in South Manchester, and for part of the year by Leroy Fielding, a lo- cal preacher in Norwich. Since October, Jewett City has been supplied by L. P. ennan a local preacher in Moos- Marriages And Amniversaries. arsonage joys have not been wanting. On November 23, Brother C. B. Brom- ley, of Windsorville, was united in mar- riage with Miss Hattie Brady, of Wilii- mantic. On June 28, Miss Lula H. Dunnack, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Dunnnck was married to Arthur A. Tripp, of Brockton. In the fall, Rev. and Mrs. Samuel Thatcher, of East Hampton, celebrated the fortieth anni- versary of their marriage. The whole parish assisted in the celebration mak- ing it an occasion long to be remembered. On December 22, Rev. and Mrs, W. J. Smith, of Bridgeton, observed their gold- en anniversary. A reception was glven them by their church. Friends from former parishes and a number of the ministers were present. A purse of gold tangibly expressed the good wishes of the people. After fifty-one vears of un- broken service, Brother Smith requests the retirement relation. Chureh Property Cared For Property interests have been well In Attawaugan, a new steam heating plant adds to the comfort of the parsonage. The Baltic church has been shingled and other repairs made at a cost of $836. Improvements at Burnszide amounted to $400. The East Glastonbury church and parsonage have been painted and the parsonage shingled at a cost of $951.46, a considerable task in one year for that society. A new furnace and painting the church at East Hampton cost $685. In September this church was struck by lightning and the tall steeple destroyed. The insurance, increased but a short time before, will cover the damage. Six hundred and sev- enty-one dollars was raised at Gales Ferry to paint the outside of the church and the inside of the vestry. East Hartford made repairs amonting to $380 and paid the balance of $30 on an old note. Improvements at Hazardville amount to $1,000. With an eye to the future, the Hockanum church has pur- chased additional ground for $200 and plans for an enlargement of their equip- menj. The youthful pastcy at Manches- ter has had a {ennis court placed on the church grounds and new walks laid in front of the church ot an expense of $298. Mapleville spent $875 on a new heating system. The Mbodus church has been shingled at a cost of $288. At Moosup, a new heating system has been installed, & hard wood floor laid, and painting done, the total expense of §2.- 200 being practically all raised. A memo- rial clock, the gift of Mrs. Georgina Pet- in memory of her parents, further adds to the attractiveness and usefulness of that splendid church. Mystic has spent $115 for repairs, while Noank has lald out $1 33for a plano, $235 for an organ and pald $295 on its repair debt. Three hundred dollars was paid on Im- provements at Niantic and $300 for the complete renovation of the chapel at Lyma North Grosvenrdale expended $350 in shingling the parsonage. Nor- wich Town far $250 placed a new furnace n the parsonsge. The village church at Old Mystle has been beautified by a memorial window in the chancel, the gift of an organized class in the Sun- day school and costing $163. Also $56 ‘was spent on parsonage improvements and %227 upon an old debt. Minor re- pairs at Oneco cost §135. A furnace has been placed in the Putnam church for $127. The tower of the Quarryville church hag been repaired and the foundations strengtaened at an expense of $200. An electric organ blower costing $350 has been placed in the Stafford Springs chureh. Parsonage repairs at Staf- fordville called for $81. Thompsonville has paid $800 on its repair debt. Tol- land has advantageously disposed of its old parsonage for $1,600, the proceeds being placed at interest. New heating, new Mghting and certain repairs at Un- casville meant an outlay of $1,048. Im- provements at Warehouse Point amount to $650. A hard weod floor for the estry and parsonage improements cost W rpantic $700. This urch also,dls- arged an old not for $500. At West- erly the new organ is valued at $5,500, while the repairing of the parsonage and beautifying the church required the rals- ng of $2,129 additionsl. East Thomp- for ~epairs, $350 spent on the dlstrict parsonage, mostly for painting, has added to its appearance. Those items represc¥' a (otal. outlay of $235,576.46.

A girl with a job shared her work with one who. was out of employment that both might have something to give. A man_ quit smoking so he could give more to the centenary. Another del: pairs on his house that the centenary might go forward. Many of the churches, especially the smaller ones will not meet the Church Ald apportionment. These churches al- s0 find the conference claimants’ ap- portionment heavy, but most of the churches are trying hard to raise it. Stewardship Idea Gains. The stewardship idea gains ground where intelligently and earnestly pushed. A spiendid illustration is at Moodus, a country church, where the tact and patience of the student pastor, Theod- dore Peterson, saw the budget of $1,- 300 pledged. At Trinity, Norwich, the faithful presentation of stewardship through a solid momth resulted in an 80 per cent. increase over thé pledges of a vear ago. The two great problems of the church are those of fimance and leadership. Stewardship rightly understood and real- ly practiced will solve both. Wherever apprehended, whether in the life of the individual or in the life of the .church, it becomes not only the disinfectant for indifference, covertousness and selfish- ness in every form, but also the inspirer of new spiritual joy aisl a real social service. It is not insgnificant T believe, that the church on this district which Is taking the most vigorous steps for- ward is the church that leads by far in_the number of tithers. The problem of trained : ministerial supply is still serious. The Methodist Episcopal church loses five per cent. of its ministry each year by death and su perannuation. and needs more than five per cent, to make up for losses and pro- vide for advances. In recent years we have been recruiting only three and a half per cent. Last year the probation- ers received in all the conferences ceeded Ly only twenty-three all the losses, a really negligible Increase for the connextion as a Wwhole. There are fewer ministers in the New England Southern Conference now than at any time since 1871, There is a’ duty ere for the ministry the duty to pick out and Iay siege to the best and strong- est young men fo win them for the work of the ministry. Willlmantic Camp Meeting. The Willimantic camp meeting had the largest attendance since pre-war day: The spirit was never better. The fathers did wisely in establishing such fountains of inspiration. If we are as wise, we shall makelthe old institutions meet the new conditions. It is working out so at Willimantic with the combination of in- stitute and camp meeting, The institute, meeting mornings, had a record enroll- ment. Rev. Joseph Cooper gave an il luminating course on “Methodism and Methodists.” Rev. B. J. Curry was in- structor {n mission study. Dean Beebe in the Bible study hour brought us a brilliant_unfolding of the parables of Jesus. Rev. H. A. Kernahan had charge of life service work, and as a re- sult of the week's presentation a num- ber of young people gave themselves to definite service of the Kingdom, some of whom have already begun their train- ing. Bishop Hughes was the preacher on Camp Meeting Sunda New London’s Greatest Day. November 13th, when Bishop Hughes dedicated the new church, was the greatest day in the history of New Lon- don Methodism. Three es the great church was filled, In the morning children, and in the evening fifteen adults were baptised. In the evening the congregation. was thrilled by the sight of 127 people of all ages being re- ceived into the church fellowship. The new building, strategically located, is of Tudor-Gothic style and built of tapes- try brick and cost, including the land, $200,000. The main floor and gallery will accommodate a thousand people. The equipment is truly modern with am- ple provigions fer worship, instruction, soclability, recrcation. A seven-day pro- gram of activities is now operating, tha ideal of this people being that thelr church shall be a temple of worship, but also a school for growing souls, a home for needy hearts, a hospital for minds and_bodies, a social center, a real fra- ternity of Christian love, broherhood and service. To the pastor, H. E. Genter, great credit, is due for the leadership he has shown in this enterprise. At, Westerly, on Jan. 3, with inspiring sermon and impressive ritual, Bishop FHughes dedicated a beautiful organ, the BIft of Mrs. Gerirnde Fowler In mem- ory of her husband, the late Frederick E. Fowler, who was a devoted and active member of that church, On January 8, the church at Lyme was re-opened. ~Repainted, reshingled and with a new ceiling of latticed wallx board, the appearance of the churh Is greatly enhanced within and without. The whole credit for the undertaking goes to the vastor. The reed organ is as important to wor- ship in the chapel as the pipe organ in the cathedral. Therefore with appro- priate ceremonies the new chapel organ at Noank was dedicated Sunday after- noon, January 29. Moosup Anniversary. During the week of January Moosup ~ celebrated the fiftieh sary of the present building. A number of pastors returned to add by their presence and words to the joys of the occasion. It was a notable week, reach- ing its climax in the stirring sermon of Pistor Hughes on Sunday the twenty- second. In this connection we wish to express our appreclation to our resident bishop who has come so often to the district this year, and whose eveTy coming has brought an uplift to the wrok. Bgnefits From Distrlct Meetings. The djstrict preachers’ meetings have been of unusual profit. At the first, helt in Noank. there was a miscellane- ous but strong program. The fall meet- ing in Rockville centered about the theme The Triumphant Ministry. being a disensston of the varfous phases of evangelism. The winter meeting held in Willimantic was on the theme, The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit. The papers, their discussion, and the ser- mon provoked only thoughtfulness, de- votlon, conseeration. 15-22, anniver- Evangelistic Servies. Evangelistic services have been held in a number of the churches. Dr. Rees did splendid work at New London and Chaplain Kernahan at Norwich, several churches co-coperating. The reports re- ceived Indicate that about 285 have been received Into preparatory —membership and about 389 into full membership. In- creasingly the spiritual efforts culminate in Baster and many who are now in preparation will not be received until that time. New London heads the list with 75 received into preparatory and 80 into full membership. There have| been substantial accessions as follow: Attawaugan, 12; Burnside, 15; Hazar ville, 21; Hockanum, 18; Moosup, 2 Trinity, 17; Old Mystic, 1 South Man- Chester, 4! Uncasvilie, 19; Westerly, 16, ¥ In addition to those already cited, there have been evidences of splend leadership in churches large -and small. That O. E. Newton, by pérsonal. work has gathered 12 into preparatory mem- bership and 15 in full at the little Old Mystic church, is a tribute to his wi dom and evangelistic zeal. Burnside goes steadily forward under the leadership of W. H. Dunnack. The Sunday night at- tendance has been largely increased. There is opportunity in this field for a great community church, but a - new plant on a new site is necessary. E. P. Phreaner, pastor at Bast Glastonbur has been very sucessful in organizing and developing the Sunday school. The men’s organizations at Rockville, V. V. Sawyer, pastor, and Stafford Springs, E. A. Legg, pastor, have made substantial During the pastorate of C. C. at Uncasville, membership, congregations, Sunday school attendance. ministerial support have all doubled and benevolent giving has greatly increased. No report can gather up the full rec- ord of the vear. There have been exhi- bitlons of nobility and deeds of service that cannot be written here. They have their reward. But I camnot close this report without an expression of gratl- tude to Almighty God for His great goodness, and to my brethren and co- wWorkers of both the ministry and the laity for their patience and helpfulness. ‘The ar is ended, its history made. However zealous we have been. however much we have achleved or falled to achieve, there is yet much land to be Dossessed, kingdoms to be taken, strom holds of indifference, Irreverence, selfish ness, sin to be broken down and taken | for righteousness and for God. To this greatest of tasks may we here renew our consecration. Fined $10 in Hartford Couxt.
