Inspiring Sessions RecalIed-Splendid
 Work Done by Committees.

The calendar of the COngregatiOnat church for Sunday had the following relative to the conference of the past week:
 As laymen we have received a great inspiration from the meeting of our state conference this last week and our hearts have been opened as never before to the influence of Christian fel- lowship. Not only has the contact with many of the grandest men Con4 necticut can produce opened our eyes to the mighty influence of the Congre- gational church of our state, but while working hard we have been drawn close together in fresh bonds of loyalty to our church and pastor and our great Leader.
 Splendid Hospitality. Summing up the material workings 1 of the week and judging from what has been said by visitors and home people. the work of each committee has been we'll nigh perfect.

  their success in view of all the difficult ties of their position deserves the high praise it has received. On Tuesday noon 100 people were assigned and sent to their places of entertainment in hals an hour. Automobile service was frces i ly rendered by members of the churcB and parish

 The work of the Ladies' Social circle i and Womans' Relief corps in providing l the Brotherhood luncheon the We'd nesday dinner and the final banquet was remarkably successful in the de- licious menus, good service, tasteful l decorations. and, what appealed to the l gentlemen perhaps more than anything 1 else, the exact promptness with which the dining room was opened in every case.
