 Rev. K. c. Macarthur. pastor of the Second Sufheld Baptist church, ad- dressed the meeting upon the more recent work of the Connecticut Liter ary Institute. His references were particularly in relation to the religious aspect of the school All the work is progressive. G r
 Miss Janet s. Mckay spoke for, her own school at Philadelphia which is to receive a $200,000 endowment from the Northern Baptist convention. It had eight girls from Connecticut last year, and has five this. Yet Connec- ticut has done nothing financially for the institution at Philadelphia, so that the state is considerably in debt for expenditures already made in helping young women through the school.
 At the session of the convention on Tuesday afternoon Rev. F. R. Hyde read the report of the five yearSp pro gram which follows:
 The principal work of this commit tee during the past year has been the arrangement for and the conduct of four conferences in the different sec tions of the state in which the pro gram was brought more definitely to the thn11oht nf the naGfnrs. These conferences were held last December and January at New Haven, Bridge port, Norwich and Hartford. The at tendance on the part of the pastors was good. the interest was deep and the results at least encouraging. ..
 Slowly but surely the program is getting into our churches. Practically all of our pastors are anxious 10 see it put through with splendid success.
 That the importance and practica- bility of this five year program may be brought to every last church and church member in our state we rec oTnmend:
 1-The continuation of a five year program committee for the whole state that shall plan and direct this campaign in Connecticut.
 2-The securing of a five year pro- gram committee in each association.
 3-The holding of five year pro- gram conference in each association.
 1.-The enlistment of teams in each association to carry the plans and enthusiasm to every last church in the association. thus making 9 serious attempt at having every Baptist church in Connecticut interested in the accomplishment of it's definite portion of the whole program.
 1.-The observance by all of our churches on Sunday. Oct 29. as five year program day.
 We believe the five year program is the grsatest challenge to the faith and conservation of our churches that has ever been given to us. Will we consider it simply a joke? Or will we take it seriously and attempt it's accomplishment?
 The Connecticut Baptist convention will meet next year in Danbury, hav- ing accepted an invitation that was presented Wednesday afternoon at the closing meeting of the convention.
