 The opening meeting of the New TIa- ven Congregational club for the win ter session took place at Dwight Place church last night, The attendance was very large, the church being complete ,ly filled. The meeting was presided over by the president of the club, the Rev. William w. Leete, D. D., and the principal speaker of the evening was the Rev. s. Parks Cadman D, D., of the Center Congregational church, Brooklyn Previous to the gathering in the church a social time and recep- tion was held in the parlors. Dr. Cad mans subject was "The Evangelism the Churches Need To-day" Mir. Cad man made an eloquent appeal for the methods which ought to be pursued in carrying on the work of which he spoke. Among other things he pleaded for a common platform one that was simple, one that was catholic in every sense of the word, and one that they could all embrace and share in; one that they could all go out and preach the great faith In God through Jesus Christ Speaking of culture he said that culture was very good thing, and they very likely had plenty of It in New Haven, but culture he main taned would never save any one unless 1t was aided by something else and that all the culture obtained through universities and Carnegie libraries would never be able to convert such institutions as 1ammany hall to right eousness, Speaking of heresy, he said the greatest heresy ministers and laymen had to contend with was of being afraid of the truth. They must seek for the best methods to have pow CT over men and society. They might differ over methods to pursue but they couldn't differ over the foe they had to conquer
