At the evening session Henry g. Newton
of Durham spoke on Business Management
in Church Affairs" Mr.. Newton said that he
understood the term ''laymsn" nos to apply
to the women.
Hon. Henry @. Robinson of Hartford spoke
on "The Diaconate." He said the diaconate
was very old. 1t started in question about
the distribution Of goods, a race jealousy.
The Office was chiefly one of dispensing char
ity to the poor. The deaconesses used to be
maidens over forty years old. How the good
people ever found who tho girls over forty
| years old were, was one of the things that
was wrapped in the shrouds of impenetrable
antiquity. II am glad" said Mr.. Robinson,
"that the Office of deacon il now so closely
associated with the sacrament, glad because
1t tends away from prelaoy and toward demo-
cracy."
w. R. Burnham spoke on "The church
COMMITTEES" and Rev. J.H. Twitchell on "The
| Christian lay man."

Nurture, which the Rev. Grahsm Taylor said

seminary at East Windsor with reasons why
DR.. Bushnell should no longer remain in the
Congregational denomination.
