Morning Watch, the somewhat cooler
 and less humid weather brought out
 good attendance The topic was ''The
 Secret of Success" and leader was Rev G. H. Wright, of Gales Ferry, who ex- pounded John 21:1-6.
 Rev. E. J. Curry in the first period continued his talks on the relations of churches, that they should not be an- | tagonistic and divisive, but the church should be the center of community life. ] The Young Mems and Young Women's | Christian Associations, are examples of applied Christianity.
 The Stewardship period at 9:40 had a new speaker, who is to have sthis hour for four days, Rev Walter Whit ney of Biddeford, Me, who comes und-
 CT the auspices of the Centenary. He gave interesting instruction in this church wide feveTnent which, with it's emphasis on tithing and offerings has resulted in the recent wonderful en- Iargement of the plans of worldwide Methodism.

 son was read by Rev. F. D. Taylor of Watertown and prayer was offered by
 Rev. W. D. Woodward of Mantle. The preacher of the afternoon was Rev. F. D. Taylor of Watertown, who | is considered on the most successful ! evangeltistic pastors of the New England conference. He is to speak on each afternoon of the week on Some Facts l in Christian Experience. The subject of his first address was The Fact of Certainty The Old Testament was full of dreams and hopes, but the New Testament is full of certainty. Jesus 1 spoke with authority; the apostles in | their epistles say, we know no guess. | The early Christians, and all true be- ! lievers in Jesus Christ are absolutely certain of their experience. ,Religious l facts in the heart are more certain than | scientific truth, for these theories often change. So Peter bids us make our calling and election sure. Just as the athlete obeys the rules of health, and the business man the laws of trade, and the professional man the laws pertain ing to his work, so the Christian must obey the laws of spiritual health, in order to succeed. At the close of this earnest sermon, district superintendent Vim. H. Bath, of Norwich introduced Miss Josephine Fisk of Providence, who gave brief account of the special work of the dea- connesses in the New England Southern Conference, within the bounds of which 21 deaconnesses are laboring in six cit 1 ies.
