Hath eway of the South church society pre- sided and there were several speak CTS including President of the Union Arthur F. Warner.
 At the rally of the local churches Mayor Edward T. Buckingham was flee with a few appropriate words. The speaker was Marion l.. Burton. pres ident of Smith College.
 President Burton is a young man and graduate of Yale His subject was Increasing the Efficiency of the Congregational churches of Bridge port" Among other things he said.
 The relationship between education and religion Is so close that they can not be separated. Every student who enters college is supposed to have had at least some home training and reli- gious training. Some however have very little knowledge of the scriptures and very little training along religi- ous lines. They go to the college with a misconception of religion. At college they come in contact with different religious feeling and grow indifferent They become sceptical and do not manifest the religious interest which Is looked for.
 Our life Is. so overshadowed with materialism that our attention is al- most absorbed by it. This materialist- ic spirit has so undermined the church that 1t is losing ground The church can no more be destroyed than the college. Some think that the college should be abolished. But education is here to stay Outward forms may come and go but religion is our rela- tion to God and cannot be separated | from our life"
 The Rev. Gerald H. Beard. pastor of the Park street Congregational church spoke briefly at the close of President Burton's address.
