REV. CHARLES Walkers SERMON. AS
the reader will see on %perusal, this is a short,
plain, sensible discourse. Those who think
it a dissertation of the sabbath to preach such
politics on any moral question, where the
I'M morality is sanctioned by law, have keen
er perceptions of some things than | have.
If all the ministers in the country would
preach only ONE sabbath discourse in a year,
against licensed Rumselling and drinking !;
one against legalized Slavery (; one against
War, and so on to the end of the chapter Of
GREAT sins, it would cause those moral evils,
and their advocates, 10 shake harder than
did Belshazzar on a certain occasion! And
it will be found a aimsy shield for any min
lister 10 use, that he will not preach against
slavery on the sabbath, because slavery is
sanctioned By lu1O, and therefore it would
be meddIing with politics to plead the cause
of the enslaved on that day! The way
some lecturers handle this question, howey-
er, is enough to desecrate any day or place.
But any man who knows enough to place
any moral question in its true light before
his fellow men, knows enough 10 do it right
on the sabbath.

against their recurrence, as we'll as 10 an.
ply the remedy.
Commentators on law: direct TO the CON-.
sideration Of the old law, The mischief and
the remedy, when W. would come 10 a ius,
Interpretation Of The new law.
The act of I942, relating 10 public &C.
counts, and the act Of 1874, requiring the
Auditor 10 settle the Clerks account, nav
be denominated the old law. One mischief
in the eye of the delinquent Clerk, was,
that the act of 1912 required a copy Of the
items OF all accounts and provided for the
reduction of all charges 10 the standard of
law, and that it was compulsory in its re-
qulremenls. and could make no comprom.
Use with illegal charges, or suffer the pub.
lie funds 10 remain unaccounled for. An
other was, that all their charges were sub
ject to revision and correction. A clerk.
who had charged several hundred per cent
higher, than others, and above The statute
price, would reluctantly consent to a re-
duction OF his accoun, 10 the same ey.en',
but such cases were not uncommon.-
Such were the causes Of opposition to that
law.
Aud now what was to be the remedy for
The evils thus Annoying 10 those officers.
That portion OF the law, which only SCI
cured a just accounting, for all the public
funds, must be repealed. This was the
remedy proposed and secured. It we ex.
anime the law passed in October las, on
this subject, we shall find, that it efectu>
ally removes The mischief Compliance of,
and secures other and additional adyan,a-
ges to the Clerks, and what will result in
a great sacrifice of tie interests of the tax
paying community. We reserve our com.
ments upon the act of 1916 for our next
number.

TO THE TAXaPAYING COMMUNITY IN
VERMONT.
No. vi,

Early in April 1915, all cases Of State
claims, existing in the fiscal year mex
preceding, were charged to the respective
State debtors, and in all cases where a cit
len became delinquent, by not presenting
his account for settlement, or not paying or
depositing, to the credit of the Treasurer,
moneys collected for the benefit Of the
State, the States Attorney of the proper
county, was notified of the claim, and ev-
idence necessary 10 sustain 1t was furn-
ished. 1t was the inexorible energy of the
law Of 1912, that conducted 10 this result.
The law required nothing less than this OIL
the Auditor. That officer had sworn 10
execute the law, and it was done. Those
claims were then left in the hands Of States
Attorneys for collection. The character
of those claims will be understood by re-
verting TO our last number. 1t was but
reasonable to expect, that the energy OF
that law would not be exhausted, until ev-
cry such claim should have been collected
and deposited in the State Treasury. Was
this a vain expectation! The result will
show. These claims had been prosecu.
ted to a "ns plus %ultrG," so far as the Au-
ditor was concerned, and there the power
Of the law has been arrested, and the law
sustaining the States rights has been re-
pealed.
The result has shown that there is pow
er in the State a class Of offices sIrong~
err than the law, a power TO suppress or
remove the barriers interposinS between

ed the same religious belief as themselves
and become members of the same churches
as themselves, have been refused the right
OF testify ing against their cppressors, and
abettors. All these things, however, do
not clear Catholics from the guilt Of their
former butcheries and other wrong acts.
1t only shows that the same principle
rules all sects, and parties; and that they
will carry out their principles according to
the light they have !; the circumstances
under which they are placed the public
sentiment which governs at the time, and
the probability they have Of accomplishing
what they desire.
As to the ceremonial rites praclised by
the Catholics. such as baplisiug Horses,
Bells, SC. l will express the opinion that,
if they actually believe it their duty TO con-
sccrate what they have, in that way, tic
the Lord a Pedo Baptist should be will
ling to acknowledge the Catholic as hon
est in this, as is the other in presenting an
eight, day> DID, Infant for the ame rite
For, as the Professionals Infant can know
no more Of the meaning of this ceremony
than does the Catholics horse, the one
who presents the offering is the party who
believes he is discharging a religious dus
ty. believe that, in some Of the Pro-
tes.ant Churches, as we'll as in the Catho~
lie, the vitaI principle of christianity is so
fully enshrouded 10 the "ArttcLes of
Faith that many are troubled to find it.
But, so far as Catholics or Protestants feel
it their duty 10 practice rites which do not
infict injury on community, so far the
one has no ground OF fear from the con-
duct of the other.
