CaII-country CIah,s Reception.

The Tolland county conference com
mittee, which has as one Of its laymen
members a deacon Of the Stafford
Springs Congregational church, has
sent out its report to all the %
churches Of the county. This report
proves an especially interesting and
explicit document, as it has SO lorgely
to do with the apportionment of the
regular benevolences of these churches
for the year 1912.
A carefully detailed schedule of fig
ures and amounts has been worked
out. Out of the total aggregate Of the
national and UNCONVENTIONAL two mil
lions of dollars have been appropriat-
ed for benevolence; s213,500 is esti-
mated as Connecticuts end of this,
and s5,525 is appropriated for Tolland
county The interesting fact has been
proclaimed lately In an important
Congregational convocation that three
fourths of this states population lives
on the western side of the Connecticut
river. The sum Of 1910 has been ap-
portioned to the three Congregational
churches in the town Of Stafford
Golden Wedding Verses.
The poem written by Rev. Harry

interest among this friends and ac-
quaintances.
