State AnniyersarY.

We trust that aboltionists throughout the state
will see the importance of reporting themselves at
our coming state meeting at MMdlebury. Every
local society should be represented, if possible
We would suggest that meetings be called at least
three weeks preceding the state anniversary. Let
delegates be chosen who will be willing to make a
sacrifice, Unnecessary, to attend. We wantNaiaute
men for such occasions--those who always an
swer al the roll-call.
The matter of funds must not be longer over
looked. Prompt measures should be taken to Sc
cure subscriptions in those places where nothing,
or next to nothing has been done since the last
meeting. The money may be forwarded to B. F.
Haskell, who will be in attendance at Middlebury
on the Goth, 2lst and 22d February. Deprived,
at present, of the services al General Agent, our
friends individually, it is no. 3D. will act and act

The importance of the Sabbath in education

The importance of the Sabbath in education is
thus spoken of by Mr.. Isaac Taylor
"And here cannot avoid passing reference to
the fact, of the very happy influence of due and
fervent attendance upon religious exercises, public
and private in bringing the mind home to its rest
ing and to its starting points, and in favoring its
recovery of that cearness and freshness of per-
ception, and of that well-poised selfcontrol and
easy appiancy, which are lost in course of Sc
we're application. am prepared to affirm, that to
the studious especially, and whether younger or
older, a Sunday nell spent-spent in happy exer-
cises of the heart, devotional and domestc-a
Sunday given to the SOULS the best of all means
of refreshment for the mere intellect. A Sunday
so passed is a liquefaction of the entire nature
dispensive process, dispelling mental cramps and
stagnations and enabling every single faculty a
gain to get its due, in the general diffusion of the
intellectual power"

"The first requisite to the prosperity any

Hon. tie Pilgrim Fathers served Duelists.-
The following account of the first duel fought in
New England and the second political offence
committed in the Plymouth Colony, we take from
a work entitled "The New England Chronology"
The date of the event is June Sth 1921.
"The second offence is the first duel fought in
New England upon challenge to single combat,
with sword and dagger, between Eda0ard Doty
and Edao9rd LeiSter, servants of Mr.. HophinS.-
Both being wounded, the one In the hand, the 9TH
er in the thigh, they are adjudged by the whole
company to have their head and feet tied together,
and so to lie for twenty-four hours, without meat
or drink which is began to be inflicted. But
within an hour, because of their great pains, at
their own and their masters humble request up
on promise of better carriage, they are released by
the Governor. Pa. ObSerrer.

FREE DIscUss1cN IN MANE.-We learn by the
Advocate of Freedom, published at Brunswick
Maine, that in consequence Of the alarm excited
among the pro-slavery brotherhood of that place
by the able lectures of l. Codding, the agent o.
the State Society, handful appeared at almost
every corner of the village, inviting the citizens o.
Brunswick and Topsham to assemble, to take into
CONSIDERATION, the measures at present pursued
by the abolitonists, Four meetings were held
At the SECOND, at which Ex-Gov Dunlap presd
ed, the vote was against the abolitionists, 1853 tc
III. At the fourth, after an eloquent speech by
our friend Codding, this vote was triumphantly re-
versed, almost the entire audience rising in favor
Of Free Discussion. The editor of the Advocate
remarks in reference to these meetings:
"Our fellow citizens who have endeavored to
arrest the abolition movement by stopping investi-
cation, and suppressing free enquiry, have been
we apprehend, pretty ef1ectually taught the folly
not to say the wickedness of this course. Their
efforts have served to deveope degree of strength
in the abolition cause here, which they little
thought to exist, and show them how powerless are
the instruments, how mpotent and pitful the re-
sources whicn can be brought to bear against the
great principles of truth and righteousness embod-
led in the anti-slavery movement. We thank our
opponents for the impulse they have given to our
cause. From this day it is onward, and there is
no power that can arrest its course. So must 1t
be for it is the cause of humanity and of God. "

that an appointment might be made for me on

most amiable and pleasant terms--informing me,
that an appointment was made for me, in the Bap-

!, canno, bur be conceded by all observing men
that regular operation of any sort be carried
on successfully and to effect, without system. in
all civil and ecclesiastical affairs, well as in all
kinds of business, there must be system and order,

political matters. With system and action it has
been demonstrated that it does not always depend
upon the justice expediency of measure in or
