ply has never before been engaged
for a meeting in Vermont. Mrs.
Livermore, the acknowledged queen
of the platform, has been secured at
at an expense never before ventured
by the association, and Hon. Neal

ment. The Revs. DIR. Bolton and G..
d. Hills are among the ablest Meth
odist pastors of Boston. 1t will be
seen by the programme that the

Thursday afternoon, thus giving an
