I A group of ten ministers, represent-
ing Baptist churches from all parts
of Fairlleld County, yesterday held a
very interesting conference in the
South Nor-walk Baptist Church, under
the auspices of the Fairiield County
Ministers" association. Rev. F. C.
hideout, of Bt'ldgaport, president or
the association, acted as chairman.
After inspiring devotional services,
conducted by the Reverend 1H. Litt-
iron, of Bridgeport, reports, showing
in an interesting manner what the
various Baptist churches, thro‘ughout
the county, are doing. were read. The
reports in a succinct -manner showed‘
local conditions of the churches. and
the progress of the Baptist Church in
,the county was gratifyingly shown.
' Much of interest and ideas of value
were gleaned from these interesting
papers.
The feature of the day, however, was
a scholarly paper prepared 'and read
by the Reverend John R. Brown, pas-
tor of the First Baptist Church, of
Bridgeport, relating to the “Teachings
of Friedrich Wilhelm NietzsChe,” the
noted although but little known Ger-
man philosopher. \V
Reverend Mr, .Brown's absorbing
subject, presented in so interesting

the thought and attention of every-
one present. During the dinner hour.

The new German attack on the Warsaw front has
led to some of the heaviest fighting of the war in the
