====Twelve Baptized in April and May====
The Connecticut conference of the Eastern States mission held their semi-annual conference at Hartford, Connecticut, on Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16, with good attendance throughout. President B. H. Roberts gave timely admonition and instruction at the various sessions. A report of the work during the previous six months showed a great increase over the same period last year, the distribution of literature being three times as great. More Books of Mormon were sold during the month of April than in any other previous month since October, 1917. Twelve baptisms were performed in April and May, and several other applications were received. We surely enjoy the Era; it has proved itself to be an asset in spreading the gospel message. The Saints and missionaries look forward with great anticipation to receiving it each month — '''Henry D. Taylor, president.'''
