Baptist sunday School work.

public meeting was held Monday even ing in the First Baptist church, Bridgeport, in the interest of Baptist Sunday school work in the State of Connecticut. Last February meeting was held in New Haven of repre- sentatives from the Baptist churches and Sunday schools of the State. That confer ence resolved that combined effort ought to be made to concentrate the strength of the Baptist denomination and secure more aggressive work A delegation of brethren was appointed to visit various sections of the State and endeavor to enlist the churches in this contemplated effort. Rev. Dr. Herr, of Norwich, and Rev. T. s. Samson, of New Haven, were the brethren deputed to visit the city of Bridgeport. After singing and prayer, Rev. M. H. Pogson called the meet ing to order and introduced Rev. T. S. Sam son as the first speaker. MT. Samson sketched briefly and clearly the action already taken at the meeting in New Haven. He spoke of tho need of greater ef- fort being put forth to reach the 60, ,00O chiI- dren in Connecticut who do not attend the Sabbath school. He dwelt upon the ne- cessity laid upon the Baptists if they would be loyal and true to the principles of the cause of their master and to the best inter- ests of the denomination. He also describ- ed the plan upon which they intended to labor in the future. He told the audience about the favorable proposition made by Brother Crittenden, of Norwich, if the workers would organize and try to secure greater suc- cess in the future. It was proposed to hold at Crescent Beach, near Niantic, Sunday school gathering every year and to this end Mr. Orittenden has offered and his offer has been accepted, thirty acres of land at very low price. This property has been laid out into lots, one hundred in number, and as soon as these had been disposed of at the price of $1OO each, with the money coming from the sale of the lots it was arranged to erect a tabernacle seating about 8, 1000 people and in other ways make the beach an attractive sum- mer home. Already oyer ninety of the lots had been sold and arrangements were being made for Sunday school convention to be held there July 10 and II.
 MT. Samson concluded by giving the move. ment his hearty endorsement. Rev. Dr. Herr, of Norwich, was the next speaker. After entering more minutely into detail in regard to the Crescent Beach proposition, and which was already an assured success, he concluded by asking the friends in this city to endorse and help the movement.
