The Rutland county boilers held tAeir
"mass" convention at Rutland on Wednesday
with less than 100 persons present, spects-
tors and all. John A. Sheldon of Rutland,
Edwin Horton of Chittenden, NJ. j. Horton
Of Poultney, and Henry Webb of Castleton,
we're nominated for senators, and Wayne
Bailey of Rutland for states attorney. The
rest of the ticket is the same as that of the
regular Republicans The proceedings, which
occupied only forty minutes, were not marked
by high degree of enthusiasm. The Rut-
land Herald says that Mr. Eimundss name
was not mentioned during the session, and
the demonstration as a whole it characterizes
as 'the weakest most causeless, least ex-
planned and justified and most unpromisine
bolt ever undertaken in Vermont"

The Bennington county Republicans held
their convention Wednesday, adopted strong
Edmunds resolution, and nominated two origi-
nal Edmunds candidates, A. b. Valentine
Of Bennington and j. II. Judson Of Ar
lington, for senators. This makes twelve
of the fourteen counties which have pro-
nounced unmistakably for the Senator, and
the candidates nominated comprise PC Of the
30 members of which the state senate will be
composed. Franklin and Grand Isle counties
are all that remain to be heard from.

One of the worst investments which the
opposition to Senator Edmunds has yet made
is their attack on him as the alleged attorney
and defender of the land grant railroads.
No man in public life has stood 80 conspicu-

the demands and assumptions of these mo-

THE LATE FREDERICK A. NASH.

The recent death of Frederick A. Nash,
for a number of years a respected business
man of this town, and warden in the Epis-
eopel church, brings unpleasantly to mind
the peculations of Silas NJ. Waite in tie
ruined First National bank, and furnishes
another forolble aud sad illustration of tho
suferings for which Waite was largely re
sponsiblc. Mr.. Nash, who was director in

which was directly traoeable to Waite's dis
honorable transactions. He was born In

The Gospel Ministry.

We give the following extract from Rev. DR..
B. M. Palmers Quarter-CentenIial Address
at the late Assembly, Augusta, Ga
These principles are acknowledged by
US, without murmur Of dissent from any
quarter, and it is not denied that, by this
unchallenged and supreme authority, the
preaching of the Word has been commit
ted to class chosen and ordained to that
specific function. Paul testi6es that "the
glorious gospel of the blessed God was
committed to his trust, and that being
counted faithful, he was put in the min
lstry. "This charge" he, in turn "com-
mits to his son Timothy, " instructing him
how he should behave in the house of
God, which is the church of the living
God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1"
This gift that was in Timothy" was not
selt-assumed, but was "laid upon him by
the hand Of the Presbytery." And "the
things which Timothy had heard of Paul
among many witnesses, he must commit
also to faithful men who shall be able to
teach others also" Here is an official
handing down of the word Of the gospel
to men whose fitness to receive the trust
has been approved and a commission
formally given by Church Court. The
whole proceeding is orderly, and is de-
signed to recognize in the Church the SUI
premacy Of Him who "gave some apos-
ties and some prophets, and some evan
gellsts, and some pastors and teachers, for
the perlectng Of the saints, for the work
OF the min stry, for the edilying Of the
body Of Christ till we all come in the
unity Of the faith, and Of the knowledge
OF the Son Of God unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the
iulness Of Christ
Whilst, therefore, it is alike the privi-
lege and the duty of every believer to
spread the knowledge of the gospel and
to win souls to Christ, no man has the
right to enter upon the role Of a public
teacher of religion who is not esponsible
to some ecclesiastical authority, by which
he has been duly commissioned. The
difference between the two cases is evil
dent. The private Christian in his per-
sonal appeals to men, moves and acts
within the sphere of the Church. If he
succeeds in leading a sinner to the cross,
he leads him also into the Church of the
living God there is not the shadow of

Sunday School Celebration in
Fredericksburg, Va.

Me8SrS. Editors, Yesterday, June 9th,
was observed in the Presbyterian church
here as "Children's Day." There was a
large turnout of the Sunday School with
their parents and friends. The pastor,
Rev. James P Smith, preached a very
interesting sermon from the text, What
manner of child shall this be" Luke i ::
&c. The superintendent, Mr.. E. M.
Crutchfeld, read brief history of this
old Sunday School, now celebrating its
10th birthday which was organized in
1916 in the old church building which
stood where the Orphan Asylum" now
stands, under the ministry of the Rev.
DIR. Samuel B. Wilson, who came to
Fredericksburg in 1906, where he found
two Presbyterians. So effective was his
preaching that the number rapidly in
creased and church was organized in
1903 Its first church building was
erected in 1910. The present church
building was erected in 1888. This Sun
day School is believed to be the first one
planted in Virginia. 1t is probable that
the first superintendent was lady-Mrs.
Ann James, whose descendants have al
ways been active in the work of the
school. Many noble Chris tian men and
women have gone forth from its vener-
able walls and sacred influences to tes-
tify by their holy living and by their
Christian teaching of their faith as it is
in Jesus. Among those who have been
and are now honored ministers OF the
Presbyterian Church, it lays its matronly
claims upon Revs. Samuel Wilson, James
Wilson, Robert Berry, Charles White,
D. D., and R. R. Howson. May it's in
Auence for good never be less, and may
it continue to bear fruit that may abound
to It's account. E. M. @.

At q meeting Of the Committee Of the National

Not having the Scriptures in japanese Mr..
Lilley the Society former AGENT sent Chinese
Scriptures, and large number OF these and
Chinese tracts and books were sold long before
preacher Of the Gospel ever put foot in these
parts. The consequence was that an interest
was excited in Christianity at p time when the
Yaso kiyo was hated in many other parts of the
country. When at last a missionary society
sent one Of its men to labor in the north he
found that q number Of people knew something
of Christianity and were interested in it. and
after some yearg Of labor, the report Of two
missionaries working there was that much Of
their success was due to the influence Of the
men who first went about selling the Scriptures
and explaining them az best they could"
