FAIRFIELD.
AT ST PAUL's.


 The usual Sunday morning services were conducted by the rector, Rev MT Jones. At the o'clock service, the in- fant daughter of Judge Glover was bap- tised. Bishop Williams, of the diocese of Connecticut, asked for the Trinity of fering or thank offering for all the bles-. sings God has given us as a diocese, and all the progress we have made from the time, when so many years ago, the few clergy met in the little house in Wood bury, to the present year, when that house was made a present to our fourth ! bishop. The bishop now asks, through us, a thank offering for one of our Con- necticut clergymen, MT Partridge, gone to work for Christ on the other side of the world, and asks this offering from every Sunday school in Connecticut to be the gift from our children here to the children of the church in China. When MT Partridge was in this country, he mentioned the establishment of church press, as the most useful gift we could make, that so they might teach the Chi nese boys trade and make them manly and self supporting Christians. How lit- tie could Bishop Seabury, himself mis- sionary, have thought so many years ago, that this year the church children in his diocese would be sending gifts to China to help Connecticut missionary.
