REV. w. T. THAYER.
 ELECTED PRESIDENT
At Annual Business Meeting of Bap- tist Brotherhood at State Conven- ton.

At 1.3o p. m, Wednesday, the state Baptist Brotherhood met for their an- nual business meeting at Mystic. A permanent constitution was adopted and officers for the ensuing year elected. The following were chosen:
 President. Rev. W. T. Thayer, Nor wich; vice president. Rev. G. B. Mars ton, Stonington; secretary, E. D. De- ton, New London; treasurer, s. K. Ryan, Middletown
 An executive committee was ap- i pointed consisting of the officers and Rev. w. J. Nelly of Danielson and w. J. Tullar of Hartford.
 Baptist leaders will remember that Dr. George F. Whittemore, late of Middletown, was president of the board at his death.
 The report of the enrolment com mittee of the convention, which was submitted by Rev. MT. Marston, showed that the attendance at this years convention was the largest in the history of the institution. He re- ported that at the afternoon session on Tuesday there was an attendance of over 1000 people.
 Ashford union was represented by 12 pastors and AZ laymen. Fairfield by IF pastors and 31 laymen, Hartford by IA pastors and 2S laymen, New Haven by II pastors and 51 laymen, New London by F paSto4 and 36 lay men and Stonington union by Il pas tors and Al laymen.
 Too much cannot be said in praise of those who worked and contributed in providing the meals and lodgings for delegates and other visitors to the convention and all the credit for 1t is due to the members of the church, no one outside the church having been asked to help the Baptists. In the matter of meals delegates and visitors declared that they had never been better served. A total of over 1,100 meals were served during the conven- tion and accommodations for lodgings were provided for over 400 visitors, the Baptists of Stonington and Noank as- sisting in this matter Tuesday night.
 Probably the oldest person attend ing the convention was Mrs Ellison Lewey of Noank, who is S9 years old. She is just a month older than Rev. J. P. Brown of New London, who is also S9. His record as regards con- ventions is something interesting. He has attended every convention for the last 60 years. He was an officer in the convention for over 30 years and has been on all the committees and held every office in the convention but that of secretary.
