ORDAINED TO THE MINISTRY-
Meeting of the Fairfield East Consociation with
the Newtown Conereeational Church. Ex
amination and Ordination of Otis W. Barker
A Full Report of the Service.
Fair skies and genial faces greeted the
Consociation which met here, last Tues
day, t lie 2Ulh. to ordain Otis W
Barker to the Gospel ministry
The usual routine of business first took
place and then the body proceeded to the
work of examination of the candidate
M. OtiP presented very happily the
various written documents of the action
of church and society and the prelim
inary papers of Mr Barker. Sir IJarker
gave a resume of his life history and call
to the ministry.
1'ltOM HIS KAK1.IKST YHAliS
he was sui rounded by Christian influence
in a Christian home. In all his early
life he had a desire to preach the gospel
but after completing his course in col
lege he was lei into business. At a cer
tain time in his business he felt that there
was a crisis when he must decide what
his life work must be. Ho returning to
his early thought he entered Yale semi
nary and fitted himself for the Christian
ministry. His great purpose is to preacl
Jesus Christ and Him crucified. In his
paper Mr IJarker gave a very clear state
ment of hi3 religious views. His thought
of God is that of one who is a loving
Heavenly Father.
UK KID NOT CLAIM
to understand all aoout God, as the finite
cannot understand the intinite. His
thought of Jesus Christ is of the love of
God incarnate. Jesus is not simply :
man but lie represents man. Jesu
Christ is indeed the son of God and the
Son of Man. He accepted the doctrine
of the atonement through Christ and
believes that Christ died that we might
live.
AFTKK TIIK
reading of the paper and questions
by the moderator, Kev Mr Slack
and other members of the council, the
body voted to be by itself. When the
public were again admitted they were in-
formed that the examination was con
sidered satisfactory and the ordination
Birvice would take place in the after
noon. A recess was taken at 12.45 when
the council was most bountifully provid
ed with the good things of this life. The
delegates thought that Newtown, if judg
ed by that repast, must be a land flow
ing with milk and honey and spring
chickens and every delicacy. The ladies
fairly outdid themselves in their hospi
tality. AT THE AFTLUNOON SKSSIOX
at 2, the routine business of the conso
ciation was gone through with and re
ports were given from various churches
connected with the body. Several Sab
bath schools have been started in suburbs
of Bridgeport and Danbury and very en
couraging reports were given of the
growth of the churches of Shelton and
Redding. The exercises proper of the
ordination of Kev Mr Barker began at
2.30 p. m. Kev Joel S. Ives, the scribe,
read the minutes of the council and Rev
Mr Slack of Bethel, the moderator of the
council, presided. Rev J. P. Hoyt, pas
tor of the church from '74 to '90 lead the
congregation in a very touching and
tender prayer of Invocation, praying for
the blessing of God upon the church and
the pastor. Kev F. B. Doane, a semi
nary classmate of Mr Barker's, read the
Scripture and a powerful sermon was
preached by
ItEVDR MCLEOD
of the Clinton Avenue Congregational
church, Brooklyn, the pastor of the
church where Mr Barker's father is dea
con. Ilia text was "And He went about
doing good." He described in a very in
teresting way a single day in the life of
Christ, where he preached to the people,
called Matthew, and talked to the people
by the seaside, dined with the publican
healed the daughter of Jairus,gave sight
to two blind beggars, and raised the
paralytic to health. Dr McLeod is a very
eplgramatic speaker. Some of the gems
of the discourse were, "You cannot take
the fire out of hell by calling it Hades,"
"Every young man who has lost his re
gard ior his mother is very near to hell,"
"You can ruin a good man's character by
a sneer." In closing his sermon he told
the people that Mr Barker came of good
blood, good training, and good brain and
that ho would earn every dollar that the
church paid him. He bade the people
TREAT MR BARKER WELL
for said he "If you do not you will hear
from the Clinton Avenue Congregational
church." The charge to the pastor was
given very happily by Rev C. II. Smith,
pastor of the Windsor Avenue Congrega
tional church of Hartford, who was a
classmate at Amherst college of Mr
Baiker. lie charged the new pastor to
be aoiau of one book, a man of prayer, a
man of hope and a man of the people.
Rev Mr Prentiss of the West End church,
Bridgeport, gave the right hand of fel
lowship. He called Mr Barker by his
old collese name of "Cakens." The or
daining prayer was offered by Kev Dr
Palmer of Bridgeport, Rev Dr McLeod
and Rev Mr Slack assisting in the
i SOLEMN CEREMONY
of the laying on of hands. The service
as a whole was a most inspiring one.
The audience completely filled the body
of the church, overflowing to the
galleries. Kev O. O. Wright of St John's,
Rev Mr Gilbert and others showed their
neighborly interest by their presence.
The full list of the delegates to the coun
cil present was as follows :
Bethel, Rev H. S. Slack and F. W.
Smith.
Bridgeport First, Rev Dr C. U. Palmer
and Dea Eli C. Smith.

SHILOH.
HIGHWAYMAN AT l.AHCJE.
II. G. Clark, our excellent butcher and
grocer, was "held up" on his Friday
route, via of Quakers' Farms, Kettle
town and back to Zoar Bridge. When
near the little bridge on the river road at
"Sharp's Yard," he noticed a plank laid
up on the others, and he thought best to
examine. As he held up his horse he
saw a masked man in the bushes near
and fearing trouble, put hi3 wallet into
his pocket. While stepping out to re
move the plank the highwayman leveled
his pistol, and cried out in a gruff voice
"Don't you take another step." Clark,
who owns a very small stock of fear
said, "Shoot if youVant to," and sprang
into his wagon. At this moment the
two girls he had assisted to get up a
stumbling horse, came near, when the
would be robber ran up the mountain
side. This verifies the old saying, "One
good turn deserves another." The turn
came quickly, and Mr Clark thinks this
may have saved his money and perhaps
his life. He says he shall carry a pistol
hereafter and not wait to be shot at first

From the hills of Shiloh iu every di
rection, we see the most gorgeous foli
ages the eye ever rested upon. The
evergreens amid the multitude of other
trees adds charm to the rest. The
mountains along the Housatonic are
beautiful, exceedingly.
"TIs distance lends enchantment to the
view,
And robes the mountain in its azure blue,"
But autumn, gives endearment greater still.
And paints her every leat with marvelous
skill.
And it while dying, leaves are thus beautified,
How bright to dying man is the immortal
side!

BENNETT'S BRIDGE MUST 60.
Bennett s bridge must go. That is
the decision of the Fairfield County
Commissioners who examined it on Mon
day. Commissioners Rowland, Houli
ban and Mead expected to examine the
bridge with the New Haven county com
missioners on that day, but the New
Haven county men did not appear on ac
count of the storm, so Fairfield county's
representatives went over and found a
really dangerous structure, totally unfit
for public travel. The bridge is an old
fashioned wooden structure which was
built some 50 years ago and has out-lived
its usefulness. At present it is con
demned and probably as soon as the
commissioners of the two counties get
together a new bridge will be ordered
It has been a menace to travel long
enough, and we are now ready for
new one.

MONROE.
AT ST PETER'S.
The superb window, given to St Peter's
by Abel F. Clarke of Newtown as a me
morial to his parents, is now in its place,
and the fine colors and delicate work mat -ship
are simply wonderful. The subject,
is "The three kings offering their rich
gifts to the infant Jesus," the Virgin
holding the child in her lap and Joseph
standing back of her, making six figures.
The faces are. as fine as in an engraving.
The colors are mostly dark shades. The
window was first placed on the east side
but a row of evergreens hid the light so
that the effect was spoiled and the colors
did not show. The -window was then
changed and placed ou the west side
where it has the full unobstructed light
of day, and the rich colors show in ail
their beauty. The windows so far have
all been made by Charles Booth of New
York and thus are in harmony one with
another. The furnace is now re-set and
people can attend church without suffer
ing from the cold. All around the church
has been smoothly graded.'
