Never within the memory of the
members of the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church has there been a pleas-
anter event at the church than the
reception tendered, last evening. to
the ltcv. and Mrs, i-‘ruuk iIuIIwell Wal-
lCI‘.
Dr. and Mrs. Waiter have onlv been
In South Norwalk since the beginning
of the present conference year, It few
weeks ago, but during that time they
have made many friends and added u
still larger number last evening.
The members of the church are very
enthusiastic over their new pastor and
they are confidently predicting that
his pastorate will be one of the most
successful ltt the church's history. Mr.
Walter is a frank. wholesouled than.
just the kind to inspire the confidence
of those with whom he comes in con
tact and is an interesting and power-
ful preacher.
Last evening's reception was purely
informal and from it was absent that
stiltedness which is so liable to make
functions of this character unpleasant
for everybody in attendance. llun-
dreds of the members of the church
took advantage of this opportunity to
meet the pastor and wife. .
The church was beautifully. decor—
ated under the direction of the El)
worth League, of which Mrs. Albumin“m
W. Smith is cltaiqnun. Apple blos-
sums. palms and dogwood were used
in profusion and the tings put. up for
last week's Grand Army encampment
were allowed to‘ remain.
The members of the church were
presented to Pastprgaad Mrs. Walter
from 8 until 9 pariah. The present-
ntion commutes unbridled of the mem-
bers of the official board of the church
and their wives, the officers of the La.-
dles' Aid Society and the chairman of
the Epworth League. During the eve
nlng an orchestra, composed of P. G.
Soderstrom. Frank Mead and William
Sheppard discounted sweet music. For
the receiving of the members. the pas-
tor and wife occupied a position in
the Sunday school room. near the or-
Kan.
After this was completed an ad-
journment was taken to the. audito
rium of the church. Thomas 1. Ray.
mond officiated rs master of ceremo-
nies and in his welcome, explained
thatll was desired to have the even
ing purely informal. The. itev. Frank
D. Torrey, who is the dean of the
Methodist ministers having pastorates
in The Norwalks. welcomed Dr. Wat
ter and assured him of hearty co-oper—
atiou. Similar addresses were given
by the Rev. W. W. Gillies, pastor of
the East AvenueI Methodist Church.
and the Rev. Mr. McIJeI‘mott. pastor
of the Rowaytou Methodist Church.
John Greenwood stroke of the church
work. A pretty part of the occasion
was the presentation to Mrs. Walter
of a magnificent basket of flowers
from the ladies of the church. The
presentation speech was made by
Charles F. Tristratu. To all of the fe-
licitous remarks of the evening, Mr.
Walter responded most crucially and
also thanked the ladies for their slit
to Mrs. Walter n'ltl promised Lia ht st
efforts to the church. .
At the conclusion of the addresses.
refreshments of ice cream and cake
andilemouade were served. under the
.directlon of Mrs. G. N. McKibbin,
chairman of the Ladies‘ Aid Society,
and the other members of the society.
There was also a further social hour.

lentlon to tiItI fact that the work done
by Mr. Wright consisted in compiling
reports for the state board of educa-
tion. covering the years 1898 to 1905.
inclusiveI He said that he, did not
think the reports to the general as-
scmbiv five years old would be 0t
much value. He thought the board of
education ought to make reports an-
uuttily. as provided by the statutes. Ho
criticized the work of the board. and
spoke of their negligence in not obey—
ing the statute. Representative Smith,
of Milford spoke along the some lines.
and said that the volcht’rs of the board
ought to be brought. bctote the general
assembly for examination. He also
expressed his opinion that there were
other matters in connection with this
board which ought to be made the mat-
ter of an investigation. Representa-
tive Bunyon, of Colchester, favored
the passage of the resolution. saying
that Mr. Wright had done the work.
and he ought to be paid for it. Rep-
resentativo Chandler called attention
to the fact that there had been no an-
nual reports of the board since Mr.
Wright had stopped faulting them.
Representative Smith. of Milford. call-
ed the attention of the house to the
tact that the report. which was a
.Iruall paper pamphlet, had cost 31 a
copy. and he thought that the state
ought to get a new printer. Repre-
sentative Barnes thought the bill ought
to be paid. and that if the assembly
desired to investigate the. board of edu-
cation the resolution to that effect
ought to be passed. The resolution was
then adopted to pay Mr. Wright.
Among the other matters adopted
were the following: An act concerning
the use of mufflers on motor boats;
sci concerning the removal of grade
crossings; act concerning real estate
liable to taxation and several other
matters were tabled and others went
to the foot of the table. The Order of
the day was half finished when Repre-
sentative Barnes moved that it be con-
tinued until today. and the house ad-
learned.
