over an hour. bringing the conference to a close with an impressive climax at his optimistic outlook for ehe fu- ture. At the outset he indicated the scope of his address by several Scrip ture references. of which the first was from the prophecies, The people that sat in darkness have seen d great light" then coming to the New Testa- ment for the second, Jesus Christ is the light of the world. a light to light en the Gentiles and the glory of my people Israel" and thirdly. 'The dark ness is the darkness of sin and ignor- ance and the light is the light of love and the truth of God" The morning cometh is the outlook at the opening of the twentieth century.
 Covering in a comprehensive way what he termed the evolution of the Christian idea and the Christian ideal of character, which is to be embodied and realized in conduct, Bishop Court ney said that the outlook was for a fuller appreciation, a better under standing of the meaning. and a more Christianity. The ideal of Christian ity was seen in Jesus Christ, beginning with his infancy. with perfect service of God and man as it met adequately the various conditions of his life and eliminated in the perfection of sacri- flee and the accomplishment of duty. With that held up before the world it is recognized as the right kind of life and the ideal to be reproduced in char acter.
 Bishop Courtney condemned as one of the greatest enemies to the cause of Christ the oftentimes scandalous lives of those who are nominally his followers. and then spoke of signs of progress in the awakening of the laity. the growth of medical missions, the increased regard for the value of life touching war and the labor relations, showing that the ideal of Christian character wac fighting the demons of the world.
 The outlook for the twentieth cen- tury Is for better Interpretation both of the idea and the ideal of Christian ity but in this the individual must not be looker-on, as one of the specta- tors at an athletic contest. They con- tribute not to the victory and it is for the individual Christian to get off his coat and take a hand in the Christian fight and the Christian race. What are you doing right here in your own community to realize and express in your own character the perfect char Rcter of Jesus Christi asked the speaker in closing, and to brighten the outlook for Christianity in the twenti- eth century,
 After a hymn. the congregation was dismissed by the benediction by the bishop.

 AnseI Rockell. a Is year old boy, whose mother lives in Gales Ferry, is missing, and no one knows where he has gone. The lad Is weak minded and only a few days ago was taken from the Lakeville school for boys by his uncle, Silas Crouch of Gales Fer ry.
 The lad left his home on Tuesday forenoon about Il o'clock and has not been heard of since. When his mother saw him last he was amusing himself in the yard by the house. It Is feared that the lad has strayed away and become exhausted somewhere in the woods. as, If he had reached any dwelling in the vicinity he would probably have been heard of ere now.
 Young Rockeu has left his home before under similar circumstances, but has never been missing so long. The lad is 15 years old, Is fairly stout ly built, about five and one-half feet in height and has dark blue eyes and straight black hair.

Johns Bohanan of St. Andrews Episcopal church offered the opening prayer and the 72d psalm was read by Rev. Donald B. MacLane of the hymn, The Church's One Founda- ton, Archdeacon Brown called upon Rev. P. c. Wright of the Central Baptist church, who he said. was the originator of this conference, to ex- plain its purposes and the effects hoped to result from it.
 Rev. MT. Wright responded by re- ferrlng to the words, Let Us get to- gether," spoken to him after the aft ernoon meeting by pr. Lloyd, saying that 1t was with this desire to get to- gether on the most important thing that affects our lives that the thought of this conference first arose. Nor wich was a beautiful city, perhaps none was more so but 1t had also its problems. of taxation, of labor, of mo- license, of all that affects the life of the nation, and there Is just one thing that will solve them, and that is the story of Jesus Christ. We want the larger outlook for the solving of the problems of Norwich and it is the hearts desire for the people of Nor wich to grasp the one great thought that business life, social life and Christianity are all one life and only one. With this spirit. we as citizens. shall do well. and may God lead us out to the solving of these problems in Gods name and Gods way.
 After the hymn, o. Spirit of the Liv- ing God, Archdeacon Brown presented Rt. Rev. Frederick Courtney, D.D., rector of St. James Episcopal church. New York. the preacher of the eve ming whose addrAss was upon The Christian Outlook In the Twentieth Century.
