LOCAL AFFAIRS.
THE SOUTH BRITAIN CONGREGA
 TlONALlSTS REJOICE.
REOPEN AUDITORIUM AFTER BEING
 REFITTED AND REDECORATED.

The South Britain Congregational church opened their editice for services, Sunday, after being closed for two months or more for interior decorating and repair The contract for the wall decorating was let to the Bonner Preston Co. of Hartford, and the result of their labors is one of the prettiest church auditoriums to be found in Connecticut. This was the judgment of several visiting gentlemen present on Sunday, who are familiar with what is being done in church decorating in the cities. The decorations are of soft and harmonious shades, cenLering in the dome overhead with just a touch of color. The entire scheme is in exceeding good taste, and for the money expended could hardly be inn proved upon. The writer desires to congratulate the church and pastor on the happy results obtained.
 The weather on Sunday was perfect and an audience was present, Sunday morning, that completely filled the pews down stairs. Sopthbury, Wood-

increased loyalty to God. What should it mean to the Christian as he gathers about the Lords table? Here he should learn the lesson of sacrifice and service. This Sabbath morning thOuS- andS upon thousands are gathering to break bread about the Table of the Lord. Doing what He asked His disci- ples to do, that we may be strong and consecrated. May these reunions make us more Christlike. Let us honor the temple of God. Let us rev. erence it. This place we should love and then go forth to loyal service.
 The sacIamental service then fol- lowed, Allison P. Smith, of the New town church, serving as one of the deaconS in place of the beloved Dea Mitchell, who was present but did not feel able to otficiate. Special mention should be made of the stained glass window, in the rear of the pulpit, which adds so much to the beauty of the church interior. It was given by Dea Nelson Warren Mitchell in mem ory of his son, Charles.
 Other improvements in the church are a handsome new carpet of green shade, ordered through the D. M. Read Co. of Bridgeport. A very complete heating plant has been established in the church, E. J. Hall of Sandy Hook having the contract.

buy and Newtown were represented in the audience. The service as ar ranged by the pastor, Rev H. De Witt Williams, was an inspiring one. A short dedicatory exercise, the reading of appropriate Scripture, opened the service. The choir rendered an apprO- priate anthem. Then came an i'm pressive baptisnal service, four chil- dren being presented at the altar: Alice Rebecca, daughter of MT and Mrs N. Louis Eriksson; Charles Bur- ton, son of MT and Mrs c. P. Bradley: Albert Dale, son of MT and Mrs Albert o. Mitchell; Florence Elenore, daugh- ter of MT and Mrs Samuel L. Pierce.
 Rev MT Williams then made an ad- dress appropriate to the occasion. He said in part: We may not say that any money is used amiss in beautifying the house of the Lord. That man who spends s10, 1000 for beautiful painting to adorn his home, is not doing wrong provided his motive is to give joy and inspiration to all who may look upon it. Whatever is done to make more beautiful, more inviting the House o1 God is rightfully given to God. Anc any money given Loyalty for the spread of the Kingdom of God, not one cent is spent amiss.
 The second thought we would con slider is that the child belongs to God One way of saying to the world tha the children belong to God is by pre- senting them to Him in Holy Baptism The children in our midst should b.

As one gets off the cars at Wilton he cannot help but notice how nice the depot and grounds about it look. Such a contrast to which it was five years ago before G. c. Bradley, the present depot master, took charge Where weeds and brush grew both at the north and south of the depot now nice drives are laid out bordered by white stones, and green lawns with beds of foliage plants and flowers mark the change, and through MT Bradley's ef- fort a cinder walk has been made, leading for quite a distance both ways from the depot. Mir Bradley is to be congratulated on the neat ap- pearance of his surroundings. He was formerly located at Stepney, Hawley' vile and Bethel.
