====M.I.A. in Connecticut====

John L. Allen, president of the New Haven conference, Hartford. Connecticut, reports three branches of the Church situated in the cities of Hartford and New Harven, Connecticut, and in Springfield, Massachusetts. These branches have only a population of twenty-one Latter-day Saints each, yet in them there is a fully organized M. I. A. in each branch. "We feel proud of the fact that we have three of the sixteen Mutual Improvement Associations of the Eastern States mission, and this is only one conference out of eleven conferences in the mission, placing us far ahead of the other conferences in the line of M. I. A. work. Here in Hartford the M. I. A. was organized just a few months ago under my direction and is the first organization of the kind in this branch, which is only a little over two years old. The M. I. A. is a great help and their meetings are the very best held in the branch, and has the largest attendance of any other meetings, not exceeding the Sunday services held every Sunday. We put on a special activities program or social the first meeting night of every month, thus keeping the people here interested in our work. We are following the regularly prescribed courses of study as outlined in the Era, and the lessons are holding the interest of all and are proving a great asset to missionary work. I feel from our present progress, that we will be able to do great things in the line of Mutual work in the future."
