missions, he would define the mean
ing OF home missions. There were
two characters Of the Work-one W rs

among our people, by collections and
voluntary contributions. We are
here tonight to try to arouse deeper
feeling in the

IL ia astonishing how fast and far blunder
will travel Not long ago a Vermont paper
said of Senator Edmunds that he was born in
Richmond and that he praotised law there
after attaining his majority. Within few

interesting fact that Senator Edmunds was a
native of Virginia aud did not remove TO Yer
mont until after he had become of age and
had been admitted to the bar. Some OF them
mad faoetious remarks about Nc. Edmunds

there is a town named Richmond In Vermont,
