A LETTER FROM NoRTHFIELD, MASS.

AT THE MOODY BIBLE CONFERENCE. To the Editor of THE NEwTowN BEE: |: It may not be impertinent to fling a thought concerning this remarkable gathering of the latter day saints at this
 most picturesque old town lying along the eastern bank of the winding Connec- ticut. We have reached the fourth day of the conference. The influx of visitors has been constant from the beginning. New corners regard it's scenery and in- vigorating atmosphere as tonic. Rev Dr David Gregg of Brooklyn delivered two lectures vindicating in masterly manner the truth a authenticity and round- ed out wholeness and unity of the Scrip lures. He spoke of his impressions and enlarged conceptions in regard to the fitness of the Holy Land, containing all the zones in the world, to furnish the theatre for the origin of Universal Book, the Bible. He spoke on the solitariness of the Scriptures. It is the Book of God and men should be asked to believe in God. It speaks for itself. It is put into our hands to read. It commends itself to us. God and the truth meet in it. Holy men of old wrote as they were in- spired by the Holy Ghost. Is the Bible the veritable Book which God gave? Think how the Jew loved it and cared for it. Every letter in each book was known and numbered. Can we call the translation of the Bible the Book of God {? We can. Jesus quoted from the Greek translation and not from the original Hebrew. God speaks in the translation He speaks in the German and Latin and Anglo Saxon. The Bible has outlived all the libraries of the past. The law of the survival of the fiJtest is fulfilled here. It stands solitary in antiquity above the Greek and Roman literature. Dr Gregg calls it the critical age. He said great critic was not necessarily great man, but was on the other hand small man, and that critical age might be of less importance to the world than some other age. But until the critic can furnish a better book than the Bible we had, let us cling to it. Take it away and what can we find to read at the family altar? Where can we go to find comfort for our bleeding hearts, when we stand beside the open grave of those we so fondly loved. What shall we do and whither shall we look for comfort, and succor when we stand at the borders of eternity and are about to step into the cold flood, the river of death? Take away the 23rd Psalm and the il5th Chapter of 1st Corinthians and what shall we do? No, we will cling to this blessed book, which speaks of God as only God could speak of himself. The conception of God is of vast importance to all. The Bible is Gods book, and we may safely rest upon it. It will bear us up in all the ills of life.-[A. G.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE BEE.l
 People who are averse to change are apt to be opposed to progress. Conser. vatism may be virtue or it may be a vice. It is amusing to hear people say that they don't do so and so because they don't want to. As though that ought to settle the matter. Indeed! Don't want any change! So much the worse. The hardest people in the world to do any thing for are those who don't want any thing done. "Let us alone," they say, iu actions if not in words. But the world moves. There must be change and there will be progress. We are all in the procession, and we must move on or get out of the way so that others may press forward. If we are in the process sion, and we must move on with it and keep step to the time of the march, or lose our place in the line and get left. Forward! ever forward! is the watch word.-[O. o. Wright.

FAIRFIELD.
AT ST PAUL'S.

Sunday was perfect day; so cool and bright, that many worshippers were present to participate in the services of the sanctuary and thanksgiving were of- fered for the joyous rain, which at last has been poured on the parched and thirsty earth in our necessity. The ser mon by the rector was based on the text taken from the Gospel for the day, "God be merciful to me sinner" He con trasted the humble prayer of the Publi- can with the arrogance of the Pharisee. The Holy Communion was administered to large number. The o'clock service was we'll attended, and two infants were engrafted into the body of Christ's church by the sacrament of baptism.
 GA few calm words of faith and prayer,
 A few bright drops of holy dew,
 Shall work a wonder there
 Earth's charmers never knew"
 Monday morning at o'clock, to com memorate the Transfiguration of Christ, the Holy Communion was celebrated iD the church and the monthly meeting of the Ladies' Guild was held in the Guild room. They will have a sale of cake and ice cream in the pavilion at the beach on Thursday afternoon, August 9.

 A brief but eloquent advertisement oc- cupies the space of w. K. Nolan, the shoe dealer, of Bridgeport. this week. To the most casual reader of advertise ments it is evident that Nolan is closing value. It is not every dealer who could make such an announcement with any prospect of meeting with belief, but it is a well known fact that Nolan is re- markedly shrewd buyer and that he has taken advantage of the distressed state of trade by picking up an immense num- Der of bargains in the wholesale markets. Consequently his announcement that he is selling summer shoes at half value is worthy of implicit belief.
