MISSIONARY WORK IN VERMONT.

Rev c. H. Merrill, in speaking of
the work of the Vermont Domestic
Missionary society at the South
church Sunday morning, made some
remarkable statements about the
destitution of churches in this state
OF the 1913 Congregational churches,
40 are without pastor. Thirty
five ministers supply two pulpits
each. One-half the population never
hear religious discourse from one
years end to another, and these are
not the foreigners, for the priest
looks after them very carefully, but
native born Yankees. He said that
our people would give to mission
work in the state of Washington and
they to the same cause here, more
liberally than either would give for
home work. The remoteness of the
field seemed to magnify the import
ance of the work. The South and
West, having drawn heavily upon
the best of our stock, begin to realize
that New England now is not the
New England of so years ago, and
that it now has problem of its own
to solve. Mr.. Merrill thought that
the solution lay in the work now be-
ing done by the Vermont Domestic
Missionary society. He asked the
larger churches to contribute to the
support of the smaller; not as a gift,
Fbut as just recompense for the num-
berless able men and women given
by the smaller churches to thelarger,
while men have been leaving the hills
and farms and gathering in the val
| leys and railroad centers. Better
and more direct results come from
money so invested than in any other
field, as the following facts will show.
''The 40 mission churches show a net
gain of II; the other 149 a net loss
of seven. In proportion to the resi-
dent membership, the mission fields
were twice as fruitful as the Others"
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1890-05-15
PADDOCK VILLAGE CROSSING.

A petition has been circulated and
quite generally signed asking that
the grade crossing south of McLeod's
mills be supplanted by dry bridge
across the railroad track. This was
presented to the railroad commission
ers and the board met here Monday
and looked the ground over. The
track is now about 10 feet below the
level of Railroad street and q bridge
1713 feet above the rails would make
a rise of about eight feet from Rail
road street level. 1t was proposed
to locate the bridge just below the
present crossing SO that the eastern
end would strike directly into the
bank and then make a turn north,
using the earth eXcavated to make
the necessary fills.
EX-Gov. Pingree had to leave early
Tuesday morning, so ex-GOv. Orms-
bee heard the evidence. Col. T. c.
Fletcher was present to make a quo
rum, but, being interested as a voter,
took no part in the hearing. Clerk
Watson recorded the evidence. Law
yer Young of Newport appeared for
the railroad and O. W. Orcutt on
behalf of those interested in the pro-
posed bridge. The dangerous char
acter of the present crossing, the cost
of a bridge and grading and benefits
sure to arise therefrom were fully dis
cussed, and the matter left in the
hands of the commissioners. Messrs
Pinard, Orcutt, Hooker and DR.. Per
kins favored the subject, claiming
that 1T would add to the value of their
property. Messrs. Mcleod and
Hynes opposed it and said they
would claim damages if this plan is
carried out Others didn't care. The
estimates of the cost ranged from
$500 to $4,000.

A RARE COLONIAL PA PER.

A copy of the New England Cour-
ant" has been received at the Gale
donian Office through the kindness of
Mrs. Mary Ross of Cambridge,
Mass, Il former St. Johnsbury resi-
dent. 1t is single sheet, s by 10
inches in size, published in Boston by
Benjamin Franklin and dated Feb
II, 1923. 1t is the fourth paper pub
lished i'll the colonies and much dis
cOlOred by age. Benjamin Franklin
had the same trouble with borrow
ers that Eye country editor" does to-
day as will be seen from the follow
ing notice:
This paper having met with SO
general an acceptance in town and
country as to require a far grea ter
number to be printed than there is OF
the other public papers; and it being
besides more generally read by a vast
number rofborrowers, who do not take
it in, the publisher thinks proper to
give this notice for the encourage
ment of those who would have ad-
vertisements inserted in the public
prints, which they may have printed
in this paper at moderate price"
