The Newtown bee., 1894-10-05

the representatives of the other churches were here for the first time. The day was suspicious, the attendance very good, and the papers read. and addresses
 delivered all excellent. The proposition,
 Our great need and privilegeto to walk with
 God, work for God and wait on God, | was considered seriatim. To walk with | God was discussed in an excellent paper | by Rev E. Evans of New Preston. To | work for God by Rev c. D. Milliken of the Pilgrim Church, Canaan, or according to our church grouping, North Canaan. This is the youngest church in the Con- ference, it being only seven years old. The oldest, Cornwall and Sharon were formed in TAO, the year of great
 awakening in President Edwards day,
 the Tennents, and the great Whitefield,
 who crossed the ocean 13 times. To wait
 on God was discussed in very practical address by Rev E. c. Starr of Cornwall, 1 who was also moderator of Ithe Confer
 ence. Rev John Calvin Goddard of
 Salisbury, whose church is 150 years old
 this year and the 15Oth anniversary of l WuICu VIII Ut CGlSDIdUCU III SoSSuDSIs
 spoke upon the work of these churches
 under many specifications. He had as many points to consider as there were | elders in Revelation, which John saw,
 -four and twenty elders sitting. clothed in white raiment, with crowns of gold
 on their heads.'' Those 24 specifications
 were in the shape of questions, such as,
 What churches in your town or religious
 bodies? What of special interest is
 you Sunday school? Any home depart
 ment? Have you a Christian Endeavor
 society? Are you under license? These
 points were discussed in proportion to
 their merit. The 24th question, Any signs otherwise which favor the com. ing of the Kingdom? Brother Goddard is the statistician of the Conference. He , is the second William H. Moore, mission |. ary of Connecticut and secretary of the general association of Connecticut ol , registrar. It is easy to see that wheI r Brother Moore shall have reached thu end of his labors in his particular field e it will be an easy thing for Brothe e Goddard to take up the work and carr, - it on without any training as specialist :, Brnther Goddard's paper was discusse' = by Brothers Stone, Adams and Gardner l. Brother Hanna of Falls Village is tn 1. scribe of the Conference and treasure :, also. Brother Pierpont of West Corr 's wall was temporary secretary. Re d Henry Utterwick led the devotional e1 is ercises in the afternoon. MT Gardne r had charge of the singing, assisted b the chorister from New Preston and th {, choir. The singing was good. Mi: \. Fanny Humphrey presided at the orga l. and sang a solo entitled, ''The Wonde r ous Cross," assisted in the duett by N
 Gardner and chorlster from New Preston
 all joining in the chorus. By reque l. Brother Wright of Kent made bri' ,h note to be put on the record of the Co 'n ference of the death of our last moderi r. tor, Rev pr Hiram Eddy of Canaa i, Eight of the Il pastors of the 12 church' is were present. Rev John DePeu of No t, folk being away on his vacation. IT m other two were absent for reasons u iN kuOWu bO us. COlldblou 1oi A rd present, was all that could be desire IT. and the various committees did the DO work so perfectly, that every thing, a would seem was above criticism. WI he will be alive here, and of the visito of present. and who shall report the pr lf- ceedings of the next conference here,
 only known to Him who occupies u
 throne of the Universe, before whom t
 four and twenty elders fell down al worshipped, who lives forever and eve "e If we;walk with God as Enoch did, it do A' not need prophetic spirit, to decla
