 Bridgeport With Epworth League Anniversary Tuesday Evening, April

9.
 The full programme of the fifty ninth annual session of the New York East conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church, which will be held in the First Methodist church in Bridgeport on April 9-16, shows that some of the strongest men in the denomination will participate, not only In the delibera- tions, but will also made addresses at the meetings. All of the sessions of the conference are public, and will be held mostly in the morning, leaving the afternoons and evenings for the anni- versaries of the different societies or parts of the church work. It is thought that many of the Bridgeport churches may have their pulpits supplied by preachers from the conference for the Sunday services. It is the purpose of the conference to strengthen each existing institution working for good in the city, not to do work that may seem spasmodic and of necessarily passing worth.
