THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
 On Sunday evening, June 2, a union missionary meeting was held in which the Methodist and Congregational churches united. The meeting was addressed by Rev B. E. Aiken, a missionary of the A. B. c. F. M., in northern China, now temporarily re- siding in this country. He wore the Chinese costume, and spoke in a most entertaining, instructive and inspiring manner. MT Aiken is striking illus tration of the general fact that the quality of the men and women who are serving on foreign missionary fields is of high order. It will be an unfortunate oversight if this storm stayed missionary to China is not heard far and wide by the home churches, while he is awaiting the hour of his return to his work.
 Tuesday, June 4, the Naugatuck Valley Association of Congregational ministers met with Rev L. S. Griggs. This was the annual meeting when the pastors are accompanied by their wives.

Avery, pastor for many years of the church here, his term of service closing a year ago, and by Rev Drs Anderson and Davenport. MT Avery gave a most interesting account of his sojourn the past six months in California, and of his journey to and from that state. All the addresses were greatly enjoyed. In the course of his remarks Dr Ander- son spoke in high terms of Rev E. B. Hillard, formerly pastor in Plymouth, who is held in admiring and loving remembrance by so many people. A letter from Rev MT Freeman of Wood- bury, now at the sanitarium at Cliff ton Springs, N. Y., was read in the meeting, awaking the deepest sympa- thy of those present. No marked re- suits have attended the treatment as yet which he is receiving there.
