A pop ular Waterbury orchestra plays there for the dancing and, therefore, the spot is well known to many people of this city. It is a fine place to en- joy an evening.

NeIson's Landing

Here, located amid the tranquility that is exclusive of Lake waramaug, is one of the finest and swankiest dine-dance establishments in the Litchfield Hills. People come from miles around to attend this very popular dining place. The dance floor here is one of the smoothest and one of the finest that this writer has seen in this state. The place itself is beautifully constructed and caters to the finest class of people.
 Crowds can be seen every night in the week, dancing and enjoying themselves there. It is truly a fine night club. Try 1t.

PEOPLES FORUM
NEW FORM OF WORSHIP

Editor, The Citizen;
Key West, having many church
es, should be interested in new
evangelism that has grown up,
quite inconsp:cuously, to position
Of influence and opulence. 1t is
wiser not to mention it by name,
for the nature of this essay is
somewhat critical of such cults
that make a practice of winning
converts by fear. And want 70
say that fear is a5powerful tool
in proselytizing. In this case
group of free-lanee members un-
dertakes to establish itself in any
church community, fekSthe purs
pose of forming a-chqreh- within
church type of worship, based
upon personal contact. IS
1t is novel enough to attract
many who find regular church
service tedious.
Started, about ten years ago,
by minister who was more of a
business man than an orthodox
churchman, the cult found little
favour in England and was exiled
to this country where it found
fertile soil in New York City.
1t assumes that sin is an active
force to be met and conquered
daily by a systematic routine Of
direct guidance from God. The
attitude of the member is one of
'listening" to the inward prompt
ing and following it explicitly.
Outwardly the cult affects a vast
brotherliness and is willing to go
the limit on sharing, save where
money is concerned. AS has been
the case in so many such mush-
room growths, money is the one
blemish that bespeaks practical,
rather than a spiritual message in
the groups mission on earth.
With large holdings in buildings
and property in New York and
elsewhere, the method of the
''free-will offering" must be adj
mitted practical.
SIN, of a petty sort, is the basis
for playing up the lives of mem
bers by g,amorous confessions"
before a mixed audience, some
times numbering hundreds. A min
lister will conduct the Service"
and sit with bowed head while
some young man or woman "tells
al" about their private problems.
1t is startling to see how many
will mistake this play-acting farce
for true religious fervor.
Outside of group meetings, the
members accustom themselves to
calling each other by their first
names and to confessing their
"sins" to each other rather than
to wise and qualified teacher,
