a party of eight went down on
through the snow to the Christian En-
deavOr Union meeting at the Stepney
Baptist church. Thus, considering
the night, it can be said that the En-
deavor society of the Newtown Con-
gregational church was well represent
ed. The following composed the
party: Rev and Mrs Otis W. Barker,
Mr. and Mrs w. A. Garfield, Miss
Edna Mott, Mr. and Mrs Henry NJ.
Smith and Miss Minnie r. Thicket.
The rest OF the party would like most
cordially to express their thanks to Mr.
and Mrs Garfield, who SO kindly took
their teams out in the storm and made
the ride SO comfortable and free from
any real hardship. The keynote of
the whole meeting could be summed
methods alone. Remember always
what your aim is. The best method
ever devised is useless without the
Spirit of Christ permeating it. Aim
to get out of ruts and work for advance
from year to year" Rev Otis w. Bar
ker acted as chairman of the commit
tee. Two suggestive and helpful papers
on the old and new methods of work
were read by Mrs George Platt of
Stepney and Mrs Henry NJ. Smith of
Newtown, followed by Rev Royal Ray
mond of East Village who spoke on
the "WOrth and Worthlessness of
Methods" The address by Rev Mr.
Soper of Danbury was especially inter-
esting and helpful. A'notable feature
of the evening was the arrival of a
large barge from East Village, holding
% young people headed by their stir
ring pastor, Rev Royal Raymond.
Despite the storm, the attendance
was good and the tone of the meeting
most helpful. Long Hill, Monroe and
Stepney were we'll represented.
