 In the afternoon the Women's Foreign Missionary society held a short session, Mrs. Phelps of this city in the chair. Brief addresses were made by ladies prominent in this work. As soon as the convention assembled the committee on Sunday schools through their chairman, W. G. Fennell, made an interesting and progressive report. Sun day schools ought to be run in more bus in ess-lik manner. When 8 child is absent he ought to be looked after, as in day schools The church ought to support the Sunday school and the money contributed by the pupils ought to be used for some benevolent purpose. This method is in use in the First Baptist church in this city. Lastly, better instruction is necessary, and to that end more normal instruction should be given. MT. Marble of Wallingford spoke in favor of the church supporting the Sunday school. Rev. Wheaton offered resolution which was incorporated in the report, recommending that the home de- partment, which is sort of university ex- tension movement in the Sunday school. receive more attention. Rev. Dr. Herr also commended this resolution.
 Considerable amusement was caused by 8 witty barley between the chairman and delegates who insisted on making an- nouncements that had already been made ! for the social union tonight. The committee on temperance urged that greater exertion be made against the rum l curse. Rev. G. F. Cunning read the re- 1 port of the committee on the work in churches. Although the increase this year has been slight there is very encouraging outlook for the coming year. The discus sion was opened by Rev. 0. A. Piddock of Hartford, editor of the Christian Secretary and former secretary of missions, and he was followed by Superintendent Evans and others. Mir. Piddock said: The great purpose ! of the church in the world is extensive. We are not by any means doing what we l might do for the extension of Christ's work in Connecticut. Our record of last year is not discouraging, but it ought not tc make us very proud. The work of God in our churches is hindered many times by ourselves. If the church of God lived fol single week as it should what a mighty revival we would have.
 Rev. Kittridge Wheeler of South church Hartford, read the report of the committee on the work among the young people. The paper caused considerable discussion, and is here appended:
