Follow ing the reading of the minutes of the last meeting came the singing of hymn, Scripture reading and prayer. Mrs sheldon then gave the report of the home secretary. The report from Fair field county was given by Mrs Choate of Greenwich, Middlesex county by Mrs Hazen of Middletown, Litchfield county by Miss Hinsdale, New Haven county by Mrs Hinman of Meriden.

The pa per closed with an appeal to all who wished fascinating work for missions to undertake some work with young peo- pie.
 A conference on topics of practical in. teresE was conducted by Mrs Choate, which was open to all for discussion and proved very interesting sand helpful. Following this was shUrG devotional service led by Miss Gilman. The lun- cheon was under the care of Mrs Vorce and Mrs Cummings, with assistants, and was nicely served without the usual con. fusion where there are so many. The afternoon session was opened by the singing of the hymn, "Christ for the World.' The report of the treasurer, Miss Julia Twinlng, was read.

 After the hymn and collection Miss Corinna Shattuck of Orfa, Turkey, was introduced and as she came on to the platform was greeted by the audience by the waving of handkerchiefs. Miss Shattuck's address was the most inter- esting of the day and was heartily ap- preciated.

Tae exercises of the day closed with the doxology, and the benediction was pronounced by Rev Newman Smyth, D. D.

REV Y. F. JOHNSON AT TRINITY.

REV F. F. JOHNSON AT TRINITY
 Rev F. F. Johnson of Redlands, Cal,
 preached In Trinity church, last Sunday, from the text, Cor. 15: 20 and 57,
 "Now is Christ risen from the dead,''
 "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the
 victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 5
 The sermon was & presentation of the
 great truth of the resurrection of Christ
 and, involved in that, the general resur-
 rection of the dead, and the practical
 bearings of the Christian doctrine upon
 the individual life and conduct of every
 Christian. After showing the utilities ] of the inquiries of the unaided reason of
 man in regard to the future life, the ideas
 of the ancient philosophers and the un- certainty of the Psalmists and prophets,
 the speaker went on to show how in Christ all these inquiries are answered, and all the aspirations satisfied. This could not be so if Christ had only died upon the cross. That alone and by itself would have meant failure and. defeat.
 But the cross followed by the opened
 tomb means victory. The apparent tail-
 uro has become marvellous success, and
 the seeming defeat appears triumph.
 The wonderful transformation of the
 first apostles and disciples In faith and conduct soon after the death of their Great Leader can be accounted flor only on the ground that Christ actually did rise from the dead to life forevermore. Jesus Christ, conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary in 8 miraculous way, is the Incarnate Son of God, is not only an individual man but the Representative Man of all men, the Brother Man to every human being. In His resurrection Is involved our own. And this truth has very vital relation to ! every individual soul. MAY MEETING OF THE CLERICAL CLUB.
 The May meeting of the Fairfield Coun- { ty Clerical association was held in Trinity l! parish on Monday, May IA. The Holy Communion was celebrated in the church ' at II 8. n. by the rector. The literary exercises were at the rectory, the essay ! being read by Rev R. B. Whipple of Tashua, subject, "Some aspects of the Missionary Work of the Church."

A bountiful luncheon WAS served \ by the women of the parish in the parish | room, the table being tastefulIy deco rated with blossoms. Fourteen clergy men were present, including the rector.
 Next week Thursday, May 24, being ! Ascension day, there will be service in l Trinity church st 1O3O a. m.; morning prayer and Holy Communion.
