In connection with the united mis- stonazy campaign, the First and Cen tral Baptist churches were visited on Sunday by Rev. Emory W. Hunt D. D.. of Boston, general secretary, and Rev. J. c. Robbins of Boston, joint secre- tary for New England. in the foreign missionary work. By alternating be- tween the morning and evening ser vices, each spoke at each church. In the morning Rev. Dr. Hunt addressed a large congregation at the Central Baptist church upon the subject Mod ern Missions.
 At the evening service Rev. MT. Rob- bins spoke before a large and inter ested congregation on the subject The Resources of the Christian Church. Rev. MT. Robbins took his text from the 11th chapter of Revelations. the latter part of the 18th verse, The king dom of the world is become the king dom of our Lord and Christ, and He shall reign forever.
 Rev. MT. Robbins spoke in brief as follows:
 The resources of the church are per sonaI and spiritual; the greatest forces in the world are persons and personali- ties. Here the speaker told the his tory of the founding of the foreign and home missionary societies, hundred years ago. through the agency of several young men who were inspired, while standing under a haystack dur ing a severe thunder storm A monu- ment with suitable inscription now marks the site of the haystack. Con- tinutng, Rev. MT. Robbins said: The problems facing the Christian church are great. Let us think of the mate rial resources of the church with which it faces these problems. The church needs money to battle these problems There is money enough in the church. It Is not question of money but of motive strong enough to release this power.
 Are there men enough to carry on the work? At the Kansas City church convention held recently 4eoO of the 1000 persons present were college men and women, representing many col leges from all over the country, and also some from Canada. During the convention 1,5eo gathered at a meeting of volunteer workers, preparing for missionaries. God is propagating to- day these worldwide movements and presenting many resources to the ism In religion, and that is what we are offering them. Our foreign and home missionary societies are grap- bling with many problems. There is the problem of the city. the problem of the immigrants Surging at our very doors. God has given us the agencies through which to carry on this work
 There is the resource of prayer Prayer was one of the agencies through which the great power and success of the Kansas City convention was made possible. Then there are the resources of God Himself. One great and noted speaker said at a conven- tion; One great thing needed in the world is a consciousness of the pres ence of God. God, the One eternal God is ever behind all our plans.
 Has the church Christ? Then ii must go out for the redemption of the world. that the kingdoms Of the world may become the kingdoms of God.
 The bene6ictien was pronounced by Rev. Dr, !. B. Slocum, the pastor.

GAVE REPORT ON
 TRIP TO WASHINGTON.
Miss Monahan and Miss Blackstone Spoke Before Equal Franchise League.

The monthly meeting of the Nor wtch Equal Franchise league was held Saturday evening at the Buckingham Memorial. Dr. Esther B. Woodward, the vice president. presided, and after the usual reports and business most interesting addresses were given by Miss Annie Monahan and Miss Hadie blackstone, who told of their recent trip to Washington as delegates from Connecticut to see President Wilson.
 Miss Menahan said that when she started for Washington she had not really decided for euffrage-she was, like many others, on the fence. But what she saw and heard on this trip had been convincing and she had re- turned an ardent suffragtst Among the delegates were workers from every trade. One of these said that the women opposing suffrage are those who need 1t the least and those who need 1t the most. Those who need it least are satisfied with their own con- ditions and indifferent to the need of their sister women who would be bene- fted by it, Those who need it the most are afraid to say they want it. Another worker said tell the wealthy women that we do not want their money and their social settlements, but we do want their help. We want them to help us so that we can better our conditions and then we can up1ift our selves
 Miss Blackstone told of the hospi- tality extended them both in New York. where they were the guests of the wife of a Columbia university pro- lessor, and in Washington, and of the ball at the New York ar1nory and the mass meeting in Washington. Among the delegates, she told especially of the newspaper woman who wrote up con ditions in factory in eastern Con necticut from actual experience, of the New York worker who started the necessary reforms that are now being put in operation by Miss Davis at Blaclwelrs Island, and of the fore
 most woman lawyer of today Mrs. Bailey, who Is not allowed to practice in her own state of Georgia, because she is woman, and is working in one of the government departments at Washington. She also told of their Visit to the White House. The New York workers. she said. have that hunted, hungry look which one does not sec in Norwich.
 Miss Monahan added a few words of optimism from Missouri. This woman said that what Is really needed Is more Christianity. If every man had a sense of brotherhood and did as he would be done by, there would not be so much need of suffrage and of welfare laws But when thero are those who fear neither God nor man, they menace all and war has to be made upon them Right will conquer in time.

She gave an ac- count of it's early settlement and then contrasted the present with it's past history under the tyrannical Spanish rule. She also gave 3 glimpse of the part Americans took as pioneers of the Argentine Republic, building the first railroad in the country between Buenos Ayres and Quimlem. An espe- cially interesting and personal touch was given the paper from the fact that Mrs. Learned's father, Samuel B.
