had been progress in most respects, 
there had been a falling off in some 
instances. The gain in membership 
has been the smallest in the past year 
since 1900. There has been a great 
decrease in the Y.P.S.C.E., but a 
great increase in the S.S. There has 
been a great increase in benevolences, 
and almost $200,000 increase in church 
property. He spoke of the small

At 12.30 the morning session closed 
and all adjourned to the Chapel, 
where the ladies of the Manchester 
church had _ prepared an enticing 
spread, plates being set for 300. 
There was plenty to eat. After lunch 
the visitors spent brief time in look- 
ing around the town and at 2 0’clock 
assembled for the afternoon session. 
The reading of the roll was first at- 
tended to, with the results as printed 
above. 
The afternoon topic was ‘‘ Woman’s 
Work in the Church.” This consumed 
all of the afternoon, and was taken 
up in three sub-divisions,—(1) ‘“ For 
the United Organization in the Home 
Church,” by Mrs. Edward S. Tead of 
Somerville; (2) “ For the Higher 
Education through the Home Church,” 
by Miss Alice Walton, associate pro- 
fessor of Latin in Wellesley college, 
and (3) ‘ For the World Work through 
the Home Church,” by Miss Helen 
B. Calder, of the Woman’s Board. 
All of the speakers were very good, 
but special mention should be made of 
Miss Walton’s address. She handled 
her subject in a convincing way.
