 On "kensington Crecls"
 The story of the Kcnsington Creeds and Covenants was told last evening by tho pastor Of the kensington Con- church, Rev. Carleton Hagen, who by study Of the manuals of different Connecticut churches. has traced the probable origin Of several of these documents. Hc spoke at a union service at the church.
 The first articles of faith and cov- cnant are not recorded: but from the of the covenant of the First church in New Britain 10 the early wethersfield' covenant, it is com icctured that inc Kensington coN- enant may have followed the latter. though the influence of the first pas ter. Rev. William Burnham, who was a wethcrsfield man, according 10 the speaker.
 The oldest recorded articles and covenant were probably introduced after the separation of the Wsrthing- ton parish. at the ordination of Rev. ISenoni Upson in 1779, and follow articles Of that period in the Waterbury church. which was Mir. | pson's boyhood home. They are nearly identical with articles of the church adopted at about the same time. when a close friend of Mir. t'pson's was called to that church. Rev. William Robinson. rdlH heE. FlFs fldEtHs
 During the pastorate or Rev. J. B. rleaveIand the first manual was pub lished in 1s75, containing new articles of faith, which have remained to the present time unchanged. though they have been practically set aside since 1881, when it was voted that only the covenant should be used in the re- reption of members. These articles, somewhat unconventional in their or der. are notable for such clear and full declaration of the infinite love of God in Christ as Is unusual in crceds before that date. No one today would hesitate to accept the articles for sub- stance, with very little reservation.
 The convenant of 1877 seems to nave been taken bodily from the south church, New Britain at that lime. This Is still in use In the Ken IingtoH church.
