' 402 Main Street, BRIDGEPORT. - - - Representatives of the Connecticut Sunday School Association conducted two interesting meetings in Newtown on mursaay or last week, one in the after noon at Taunton chapel and a second in the evening at the Congregational church. Considering that this is an especially busy season of the year with the farmers, the congregation that assembled in the even ing was a large one. 1 he platform was prettily decorated with fruit-tree blos soms and pansies. Alter a praise service, in which help ful Bible promises were repeated, the meeting took a novel shape in a "yes and a bo" exercise on Sunday school work. This -'was conducted by Frank II. Bailey, of Danbury. Such questions as these were propounded, and various ones in the audience asked their reasons for their votes : Is the su perintendent responsible for order in the school? Should gentlemen teachers be appointed for male classes and lady teachers 'for classes of their sex? -Should the scholars be allowed the use of the quarterly during the conduct of the les son? lbe discussion which followed these questions proved very suggestive, and, though sometimes it was thought the course to be followed would depend entirely on the special conditions of the school, yet practically the audience were as one in their opinion. ilisa t ioraLient of DaDbury then read a very thoughtful paper on "Opportunities for loung 1'eople in bunday school work." These were some of the points made : In this busy world, teeming with its unsaved millions, we cannot afford to limit the age of Sunday-workers, al though it is the young people we want to enlist in thi3 work for many reasons, chief of which is the church of the fu ture is in the Sunday-school of to-day. The church is the tree, the Sunday school the branch, so the church needs the Sunday-school for the compl tion of its being. There is no better development of the Christian character than, that which comes to the Sunday-school work er. tie is brougnt into ttii study oi tne Word, he learns by teaching it to others, be gains strength of character by the use of his powers. The vast majority of members enter the church through the Sunday school, and many of them are brought to Christ by it directly. The church's power is in its living members, and these should be constantly recruited through the Sunday-school, it is not sufficient that the pupils be brought to he rjoint of accepting Christ, for the work is only begun when the pupils are converted. With joining the church be gins the most important worn or Duiia- ing up souls in unrist. inus tne sun day-school hecomes a preparatory school, giving the. lessons or trutn which, in after years, are to De lniused by the Spirit and turned into living en ergies of character. What unceasing, concentratea euort must be made, and it must be personal effort. We do not make the matter per sonal enough, but are ape to think there is enough without me; 1 am only one. Yes. but the Master calleth for you and says, "tio. worn to-aay in my-vineyara; the harvest truly is great and laborers few." You cannot afford to let others gleam the golden grain which may be vours for tne reapiug You have opportunities ior ounaay school work in your home; the begin nings of a human life for time and for eternity occur at home, the most ef fective school is home. It is in point of time before all others and in point of Dower before all others, for, years be fore the teacher begins to affect - the mind of a child, he 13 under the power ful influence for good or evil in his home, A child will for a long time believe wnat his father, believes and clover what his mother loves in spite of all that the school and world may teach. A word in behalf of the teacher may beget a strong faith in him, and this will give force to his teaching. ; The lesson taught in the Sunday school can supplement- and supply the lack of teaching in the home. Not all homes are centers of religious power; there are godless homes, worldly-minded parents ana unDetievmg .parents, ror tuese homes the Sunday school is , the only substitute and often the only influence in the training of childhood. , The crying want of the present time is that for accomplished teachers, we want better teachers and more teachers for rich and poor, children and adults. A Sunday-school teacher must possess knowledge and know how to use it. We can have no permanent theological school for the training of Sunday school teachers, teachers' meetings will not fill the want, and the best conventions leave something undone.'. The answer is to be found in the reserve class, and the nor mal class. ' - ' - We must never try to tate the boy out of a boy to make him a Christian ; rath er lead him the paths of faith, in God Teach him the glory oi hard service for Christ, teach him to pray, daily, to love the Lord as he loves bis mother and to be true everywhere;-this is the highest aim of- Sunday school teacner'B me. -W". H. Hall state secretary of the Connecticut Sunday school association closed the meeting with an address on "The Best Sunday School." This school he said, should be Biblical, educational and evangelistic. He believed that many of the methods used in the public schools Cornelius Pigot, a clerk in the Chemi cal bank of New York, was the 2ue?t last week, at the residence of D. W. Kissam.

Friday, May 4, being Arbor day. the parishioners of Christ church parish duly celebrated the event by planting trees around the church and repairing fences, plowing, grading, thus beautifying the rectory grounds. They also laid in the rectory new floors, sills, replacing the old time sash of 24 panes with new of one glass each, papering the interior and making provision for painting exterior of house, building veranda, making the for mer carriage house over, and last but not least, planting the garden and a lot with potatoes. As each one present did their utmost to outdo the other, it would be unfair to mention names, but suffice to say that when some 26 ladies and 25 gen tlemen sat down to a sumptuous I'past at noon,f ull justice was done to the boun tiful meal and enough left over for sup per, so plentiful had been the outpouring of larders. This parish, one of the old est in Fairfield county, possesses a fine church edifice, rectory with glebe of sev eral acres and an invested fund, besides earnest and devoted church workers. The services are conducted by Kev Alexander Hamilton, in connection with his parish es at Easton and W eston. Mr Hamil ton's postofllce is Lyon's Plains.
