Big Methodist
Dinner Tuesday
Preparations are going forward
speedily for tho mid-year dinner of
the people or 111. Methodist
Churches oi Norwaik and vicinity
at the Norwalk Methodist church.
December is. at, 6:!0. The purpose
of the gathering is purely to bring
together the Methodist family of th.
community for inspiration and so-
ciallblllty and it will be open to all
so far as accommodations will al-
low. Word of the affair has been
received in all the churches with
unusual interest and it is expected
that the limit oi 260 pcoplo will sit
down together each reminding the
other by his very presence that he
is a. follower of John Wesley.
Not only has the social icnturc
captivated the imagination of the
Methodists generally but interest in
the speaker who has been an-
nounccd is manifested everywhere.
Bishop Joseph F. Berry of Phila-
delphia, scnlor bishop of the Meth.
odist Episcopal church. will sojourn
into New England solely for the pur-
pose of being present on this occa-
sion. He will have a grca‘. mes-
sage for he never disappoints his
audience. The announcement of his
coming is of still greater interest in
view of the fact that he will preside
at the next session oi the New York
Eas‘. Conference in Brooklyn next
April.
Dr. H. H. Beattys of Stamford.
superintendent oi the New York dis-
trict. will preside and speak some-
what of his work on the district.
Olin r matters of Interest to local
Methodists will be presented but in
no sense is the meeting to be a
"drive. " Even the proverbial “Moth-
odist collection" will not be taken.
Tickets must be procured before
hand as only those for whom prepa-
ration is made can possibly be ac-
commodated.
. This affair is being held under the
auspices of the Norwalk city society
of the Methodist Episcopal church
which in turn is alfillated with the
board of home missions and church
extension. Clarence Slsuson is
president of the local organization.
A. H. Siauson is vice president. 8.

tions to the dinner have been sent

enjoyable affair.
