will be represented by the pastor and
S. P. Carpenter at the state confer
ence which Is to be held in Middle
town on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
this week.
The mid-week meeting will be held
on Thursday evening Of this week and
will be followed by an important
meeting of the Sunday school COM
mittee which is composed of all
teachers and officers of the school and
the standing committee of the church.
Advent Christian Church-A large
and attentive audience greeted c. H.
Hudson last evening at the Advent
Christian church, the seating capacity
being well taxed. Mr.. Hudson re-
lated some of his experiences in a
very interesting manner which left a
favorable impression with his aud
fence. Plainville is very fortunate in
seeing and hearing a man from the
battlefront.
The incidents related by Mr. Hud-
son show that the Y. M. c.. A. is
doing all it is advertised to do and
that its activities help to keep the
soldiers in good spirits and in re-
membrance of home ties. The COM
forts administered would undoubted-
ly be lacking were it not for the splen-
did work of the Y. M. c. A.
