The series of meetings are still in
progress in the NJ e. church in our vii
lage. The past week, the large church
has been we'll filled every evening with
attentive listeners while Rev. Mr.. Nichols
has preached in demonstration of the
spirit and with power. Quite number
of conversions have taken place, and the
interest is still on the increase. These
meetings will be held another week. The
people are not charged 20 cents per night
each to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ
preached, as they are to see some dark
closet exhibition of spirits as performed
by modern Spiritualists. Happy, then,
the people whose God is the Lord, who
turn not from the testimony of the Bible
to embrace false gods and follow the false
teachings of those new bogus reformers.
ana happy to announce that our COM
munity are to be again favored with an
entertainment, on the evening of the 10Th,
at our School House Hall, of dramatic
readings, by Miss Nina E. Gregory,
daughter of Hon. John Gregory, of North
field. 1 have no doubt it will prove an
occasion of much interest, and hope a
full houae may be secured. 1t was my
great pleasure once to hear this young
be forgotten. Her manners are graceful
and accomplished, while her voice pos
sesses rare depth and power. She throws
into her recitations soul filed with the
enthusiasm of her subject, carrying the
hearts of her hearers by storm. Many
appear before the elete and critics of our
cities as dramatic readers with great sp-
plause, who do not possess, by great odds,
the peculiar tact and ability in their pos
session that this rare young lady possesses.
Above all, she is young lady of Vermont
origin. Born and reared among our own
Green Hills, she has drank deeply of the
spirit such associations are calculated to
inspire. True to nature, she needs no
artificial aid to show that her mind is of
no ordinary stamp. Her genius appears
to be innate more than acquired. She has
but to call, and there PUSHES to her aid
the mighty energies and impulses of a
soul baptized with the power of q living
intellectual fire, enabling her to stand
forth the true impersonation of the beauti-
full and sublime. We are glad to hail her
as a daughter of Vermont. Let her then
be appreciated in accordance with her
superior ability. Enthusiastic in her pro-
fessiop, she is bound to succeed, and show
to the world, that among the popular
readers that interest the public attention
at large, Vermont can lay claim to one
whose exalted character and ability may
safely challenge comparison and critic
ism.
We were. last Sabbath. favored with a
splendid snow storm, giving depth of
several inches, much to the qualification
