NEW LONDON
 BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
Annual Meeting Will Be Held With
 Mantle Church Next Month.

Baptists in New London and the oth- CT places that are included in the ter ritory of the New London Baptist as- sociation, are anticipating with con- siderable pleasure the annual meeting of that body, which will be held next month with the church at Mantle. The association is quite a venerable or ganization and the meeting in Septem- Der is the ninety-fifth in the annual series. It was intended this year to hold the meeting with the church in Old Lyme, but a change had to be made, as that church lost it's pastor and the Mantle Baptists have come to the rescue and will entertain in the manner for which they are noted.
 The association meeting to Baptists Is one of the most important gather ings of the year. Each Baptist church is absolutely independent and recog- nizes no ecclesiastical authority, but from the early days of the faith in this country, there have been associa- tions for mutual counsel and uplift and they have always been of a pleas ant social as well as spiritual char acter.
 Lefingwel Pastor Is Clerk. The present officers of the New Lon l don association are: Moderator, Rev. F. D. Luddington of Quaker Hill; clerk and treasurer, Rev. John G. Ward of Leffingwel
 The association membership is made up of the following churches: | Bozrah, Chesterfield. Colchester, | Fftchville, Moodus, Lakes Pond, Leb- anon, East Lyme, North Lyme Old | Lyme, Montviue, Union, First New London, Huntington Street, New Lon- | don; MontaUk Avenue, New London; l Shiloh. New London; Mantle, Central ! Norwich, First Norwich, Mt. Calvary, | Norwich. Third Norwich, Grace Memo l rial. Norwich: Salem, Scott Hill, First | Waterford, Second Waterford.
 ! Some of the churches in the associ- 1 alton have been in existence for many years The First Waterford church | is the oldest in this part of the state, | having been constituted in 1710. The l next in point of age is the East Lyme l church which dates from 1752. The ] Salem church began it's career in 1767,
 the Scott Hill in 17S0, and the Lebanon
 organization in 1S05.

 tion is the Central of Norwich. That
 organization has property valued at

 sociation is at Chesterfield. The en-
