County Conference.

The 10th annual meeting of the Gale
donia county conference of Congregations
al churches was held with the church in
Lower Waterford on Tuesday, May 81,
and the following account of the gather
ing was contributed by Rev. W. c. Clark
of Lyndon to the Vermont Missionary
for June;
The church at Lower Waterford had
not entertained the Conference since 1876.
Notwithstanding the difficulty in reach
ing the place the attendance was larger
than for several years, all the churches
being represented except three. The re-
ports were unusually encouraging, spec
ial mention being made of favorable
financial conditions and repairs upon
church property. The most unsatisfac-
tory point noted, as in former years. was
the failure to bring the young people into
church membership.
The sermon was by Rev. .J.'P. Marvin T,
on the text, 'In the beginning Cod"
Mr.. J. 81. Fuller of Lyndonville spoke on
the topic, "Who is Christian ~, and
Rev. A. F. Eldridge answered the ques-
ton, "Who should join the church ~
During the Woman's Missionary hour
an address was given by Miss DeBusk of
New Mexico. The topic of the evening
was, Incorporation in Religious Work"
This was discussed by Dea. c. J. Bell,
Rev. J. K. Williams and others. Dea.
Bells remarks were informal and practi-
cal, showing that with all his activities
on the farm and in public matters he is
keenly and vitality interested in the work
of his church.
At the business session it was voted
that portion of the missionary offer
ings of the churches, to the amount OF
$500, or so cents per resident member,
should be used for the support of for
eign missionary. A resolution was in
PRODUCED providing for the partial pay
ment of the delegates expenses to the
National Council, but it was not adopted,
as it was deemed unwise to impose tax
upon the churches for that purpose.
Feeling against the taxation of the
churches prevailed to such an extent that
in connection with the customary assess
ment for state and county work objec-
ton was made to the use of the word
Assessment" in the minutes; and finally
the Conference voted unanimous to
amend the Bylaws so that the name of
the Committee on Assessments should
be changed to COMMITTEE on Appor-
tionment.'
The delegates chosen to attend the Ma
tional Council were Rev. 6. 81. Cum
nings of Danville, Moderator of the Con-
ference, and Mr.. Frank 81. Brooks of St.
Tohnsbury.
