religious and social work in Con-

ference will hold its sessions.
Obviously this section Of the
Farm and Home week program Is
Of interest both to the laity and
the professional workers In the
field Of religion. Both are equally
concerned with the larger objec-
tives Of the program, and both
have something to give as we'll as
to receive in carrying it out. The
rural church in Connecticut still
maintains vital place in the life
Of our people. Many Of its person.
nile are highly trained men and
women who are giving their best
to the rural church,s not because
1t Is a stepping stone to something
higher, but because of their love
for the country.
A glance at the program will
create a desire on the part of ev-
eryone interested in the religious
welfare Of our state to attend this
