At the meeting of the Evangelical
Alliance in Boston last week Rev.
Henry Fairbanks spoke of the needs
of the rural districts, telling of a
careful canvass of 40 typical towns
were church services. The facts were
classified and exhibited on large col
ored charts. Vermont, he said, has
only 1-16Oth of the population of the
whole land, but furnishes a very
much larger proportion of the judges,
senators, representatives, college
presidents, foreign missionaries, cler-
gvmen, ETC. Men of such stock will
be mighty for evil if they are not
trained for good.
