As DIR. and Mrs. Tracy were ,

AS DR.. and Mrs. Tracy were driv-
ing early last Thursday evening on the
road to st. JOhnsbury Centre, about a
mile above this village, with team
from Browns livery, the horse sudden
ly fell without apparent cause, in such
a way that the calk of one of the hind
shoes cut a long, deep cash in the flesh
of his right fore leg, making it bleed
profusely. The doctor tied up the leg
and walked the horse back to the sta
BILE, where a dozen stitches or so were
taken in the injured member The
horse got loose sufficiently to undo the
work, and it had to be sewed over,
chIOroform being administered for the
second operation, which proved to be
successful.

Methodist Church Affairs.
Rev. Mr.. Culver's Last Sermon-FourtI
Quarterly Conference.

| OO~~~S@O~-OS'
Rev. E. w. Culver preached the clos.
ing sermon of his passionate over the
Methodist church last Sunday morning
before a goodly audience. The text
was John l6: at is expedient fOl
you that | go away for if | go not
away, the Comforter will not come un-
to you" Using these words in an
accommodated sense, the preacher said
it was expedient that he should go
away nOw,-because the best judgment
of the Methodist church had emphati-
cally decided Oh the three years. limit
because some of his people thought it
best because the speaker himself
thought change now desirable, and
because a change would throw increas-
ed responsibility on the members of
the church. Again, it was expedient
that he go away that a comforter"
might come. He did not consider him
self to he much of comforter, the
three years of his labOrs had been
years of unceasing activity, and he
presumed some of his people thought
they had been stirred up about enough
and would welcome a pastor who would
be less of a driver and more of a COM
forter. The following approximate
statistics of the three years work were
given Total amount raised SIC, $50,
net gain in members over removals and
deaths 20, services attended 600, SER
mons preached 900, funerals attended
so, calls made 500. AS school super
intendent he had also made about 10
calls. In closing, Mr.. Culver said the
three years spent here had been among
testimony to the constant support and
fidelity of his people. He had but one
fault to find, which was that they had
been just little too kind, making it
the harder to part with them. AS he
closed, the general moistening of eyes
over the congregation testified to the
regard of the parishiOners for their
retiring pastor. After the sermon,
eleven persons, mostly young people,
were baptized, and seven others were
received into full membership.
At Sunday evenings service five
more persons received baptism. Pre-
siding Elder Granger preached, and
the communion was administered.
The fourth quarterly conference was
held Monday evening, and the follow
ing official board chosen for the COM
ing year: c. HI. Marshall, Geo. p.
Moore, A. L. Bailey, E. N. Randall, A.
j. Willard, G. Sargent, Harry Blodgett,
DR.. r. r. Grow, j. C. Morrison, w. G.
Hawley, David Morrison, j. B. Soper,
Henry Aver. A. j. Willard was chosen
recording secretary and c. H. Mar
shall financial agent. A. l.. Bailey was
approved as S. S. superintendent. The
financial report showed all the eXpen-
SEES of the year paid and balance in
the treasury.
Rev. Mr.. Culver left town to attend
the conference at Bellows Falls, yes
terday morning. His pastorate here
has been very successful in all respects.
Much credit is due him in connection
with the rebuilding of the church ed
ifice. The society was never in so
flOurishing a condition as at present.
Mr.. Culver has also been held in
high esteem without as we'll as within
his church, and held the Office of school
superintendent last year. On account
of conference, all services will be
omitted next Sunday.

met organ accompaniment. The
scriptures were read by Rev. Edward
T. Fairbanks, and Rev. f. l.. Piper of
fered prayer. The general secretary's
report did not refer specially to the
year just ended, but was a historical
sketch of the work of the association
~ with which readers of the The Cal

An interesting address was then

port just read by Mr.. Sage, the speak
er alluded to the noble work done by
the Y. NJ. c.. A. of the land during that
period in connection with the u. 5.
Christian commission. AS in the case
of the local organization, the life of the
Y. Nj. G. A. at large had taken a fresh

| VI. ". u.
The new building is intended for the
use of the young men in st. JOhnsbury,
whether members of the association OF
not, and they will be welcomed at all
times to the reading room, meetings,
etc, the gymnasium being limited to
those holding membership tickets. The
rooms are open daily from 9 a. IN. to
$50 p. M, and on Sundays, except
during the hours of church services.
In the new building, the general sec
rotary or his assistants will be in con-
slant attendance during Office hours.
Mr.. Sage will be assisted by Geo. H.
Hale and Harley j. Emerson.
The public are cordially invited to
visit and examine the building at any
time. 1t was impossible to invite the
general public to the dedicatOry exer-
cises Saturday night, owing to the
limited room.
The annual report of the association
for the past year was issued last week
from The CaledOnian office in hand
some and somewhat unique form. 1t
contains full statistics of the work of
the year, and states the privileges Of
fered in the new building during the
coming year. The report shows the
expenditures of the past year to have
been $l5l7.02, with S69.l2 remaining
in the treasury.
The new rooms, in their present fur
nished condition, are decidedly attrac-
tive and excellently adapted to the
purposes for which they are designed.
The furnishing is the work of the la
dies auxiliary, and was done at their
expense. The members parlor is hand
curtained, the windows in the
other rooms being provided with
shades. There are open ireplaces in
the secretary's Office and the reading
room. The floor of the latter is cover
ed with mating, with rugs in the par
lor and office. Pictures adOrn the
walls. Among the new pictures is an
set of st. JOhnsbury views
presented by Photographer Clifford.
The rooms are pleasing combination
of elegance and cheerfulness. The ca
nary, who used to join SO heartily in
the hymns at the meetings in the
old rooms, now sings vOciferOusly from
his cage in the new reading room.
The Goth biennial conference of Y.
NJ. C.. Associations of the U. S. and
British provinces will be held in At
lanta, Ga, May 1917, and the 18th
annual conference of the association of
general secretaries of Y. M. c. A. Oc
ours at Chattanooga, Tenn, May 8-1l.
If the extra labor incident to occupy
ing the new building had not required
attention at this time, Mr.. Sage would
have attended these gatherings. 1t
was somewhat expected that the local
association would be represented by
delegates at the Atlanta conference,
but the members who thought of go
ing have decided not to do SO.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Y. NJ G.. A. will be held Saturday
evening, May 2, at Z o'clock. All mem
bers are invited to bring their friends
with them. After the business an in
formal conversation on "'SOuth Ameri
ca its people, birds and flowers, will
be given i'll the parlOr by gentleman
who has travelled much in foreign |
lands.
The Bible study will be held Mon
day evening, May 4, at 7.30 o'clock.

and interesting address. He told how
the idea of erecting an association
building had gradually developed in
his mind, and how the present site had
been selected after a careful study of
where there was the most passing and
cOngregating of young men in the vii
lage. The speaker asked his hearers
to think of what had been done in
erecting this home for the association,
not in connection with any individual,
but as Gods work, and urged them to
earnest and united future effort. In
closing his remarks, which were listen
ed to with close attention and great
approval, Mr.. Fairbanks presented to
the president a deed giving to the as

ney accepted the gift in behalf of the
association. He wished it were in his
power to return thanks for the gener-
Osity of the donor and for the noble
example he had given them. To tell
how grateful they were would be i'm
possible. He also addressed few re-
marks to the association, reminding
them that with enlarged facilities came
increased responsibilities. He urged
the members to encourage the general
secretary by visiting the rooms fire.

serve on the reception committee. The
dedicatOry prayer was then offered by
Rev. E. Il. Sandford.
Mr.. Watkins,a secretary of the Y. M.
G.. A international committee, being
present, was called upon, and warmly
congratulated the association. He
stated that there are now 80 Y. NJ. G..
associations in the country having
buildings of their own. In every case
the community has expected more of
them, and more work has been accom-
plished. In few closing remarks,
Mr.. Putney took occasion to thank the
ladies of the auxiliary for their labors
in connection with the furnishing of
the rooms, and announced that they
would hereafter be invited to attend
monthly business meetings on the first
Saturday evening of each month at Z
p. M, to which it is designed to i'm
part an increased social character IN
future. The benediction was given by
Prof Fairbanks, after ''Blest be the
tie that binds" had been sung. The re-
mainder of the evening was very
pleasantly spent in social intercourse

FIRE SUNDAY MORNING.

FIRE SUNDAY MORNING.
The three-stOry tenement house on
Clark avenue, owned by the widow of
Patrick Tierney, took fire early Sun
day morning in closet in Michael
Murphy's tenement, and the entire
building was deluged by water and in
jured by fire to the amount of two or
three thousand dollars, including the
loss of property Of the eIeUen families
that occupied the same, and whose
furniture and effects were thrown out
into the street. The fire is believed to
have caught from a defective chimney.
The alarm was sounded about two
o'clock in the morning and when the
iremen and neighbOrs reached the
scene the house was full of smoke and
the street full of half dressed children
and adults who had been unceremoni-
ously elected from this beehive. All
the tenants found temporary shelter,
and some cleaned up their wet and
smoky rooms as well as they could and
moved back during Sunday. The fol-
lowing is a list of families occupying
the building at the time of the fire
