OUT,oF,TOWN CORRESPONDENCE.


/ A Bennington Centre boy now residing
in California, has recently sent home for
distribution, printed copies of the RULES
daily observed by the late Rev. Isaac Jen-
nings," who for so many years was the
beloved pastor of this people, and not
withstanding they have before been
printed in the BANNER, your correspond
emit desires the republication of them, be-
lieving that their universal adoption
would be one of the greatest blessings.
They are as follows:
LIST. "TO hear as little as possible to
the prejudice Of others ,
I'd. ITO believe nothing of the kind
until l am absolutely forced to it."
Sd. ''Never to drink in the spirit of
one who circulates an ill report"
4th. always to moderate, as far as
can, the unkindness which is expressed
towards Others"
9Th. always believe that if the other
side were heard, very different account
would be given of the matter"
The venerable John W. Clark, now in
his eighty-first year, grandson of Capt.
Henry Clark, and whose ancestors were
in the Battle of Bennington, walked from
his residence in Hoosick Falls to Ben
nington on last Monday, and back again
Tuesday. He wanted to see the mOnu-
ment and to make some enquiries in re-
gard to revolutionary and other matters.
Mr.. Clark recOllects of possessing nearly
peck of cannon balls, which had been
plowed up on his farm in WalloOmsac,
where the engagement with Col. Brey-
man largely occurred. He also recollects
of seeing nearly bushel basketball of
mems skulls that were dug up when and
where the fence was built in front of the
Barnet House near the Barnet bridge"
He says the skulls were taken to the office
of DR.. Lemuel Sherwood. In 1915 Mr..
Clark's father, Reuben Clark, leased the
farm of Major Potter, now owned by
Thomas Kinney, situated in the south
west part of Bennington, and paid three
hundred dollars in advance for the use of
the same, and the stock thereon, for one
year. The venture was profitable, the
entire crop of wheat selling for two dol
lars per bushel.
1t is cheering to see some of our young
friends who are here for the Easter vaca-
ton. Among them are Misses Hattie
HARDWOOD, Maude Severance, Anna
Stevenson of Allegheny, Pa; Messrs Huff
and Whitley of Buffalo, N. Y; Stephen
and Seymour Crane of the Burr and Bur
ton Seminary. They all seem to enjoy
themselves in spite of the elements.
Mrs. Alfred Robinson gave "cobweb"
party Tuesday evening for her niece, May
Sanford, and her friend, Miss Stevenson,
her Vassar room mate who is spending
the vacation with her.
Mrs. Daniel Robinson, (Underwood)
Miss Edith and Master Fred, are spend
ing few days at the 'Walloomsac."
S. Huling Blackmer has returned to
Cornell University.

A Successful Passionate.

The first years work here of the Rev.
VIM. J. Chapman of the Methodist
Church, closes with the beginning of the
Troy Conference, April 10th. The last
quarterly conference, Monday evening,
therefore, was an accounting and mat
tiers with the charge were found to be in
most encouraging condition. Presid-
ing Elder Webster was present and he
expressed himself very much gratiiied.
The following statistics are nearly COM
plete for the year soon to close: The
pastor has made 800 calls, preached 11S
sermons on the charge, % of which were
delivered at funerals, and he has married
eight couples. To the membership, %
have been added by letter, seven from pro-
baton, and 40 are on probation. De-
Quoting the losses made by death and re-
movals, and counting only the dctiue
members, inclusive of probationers,
the present number is 275 communicates
of this church. The Y. p. S. c. L. of
this society is the largest in the county,
numbering 40 members. There has
been laid out in repairs lin round num-
bers) $500, of which there has been paid
$500, and the money in the treasury will
further decrease this debt Sl00-leaving
but $500 debt to carry over into the next
COUleTenCe year. MOuudl, JHe legacy
left by Mrs. Susan C. Chase, amounting
to S2604. II was paid to this church. BY
the terms of this legacy, the money was
designated to apply in the payment OF
the parsonage debt. While it does not
quite clear up the whole liabilities, YET
the society is practically out of debt
when the resources are taken into account
The money raised for ministerial pur.
} poses is Sl6l3, which, with that raised
! for repairs, etc, makes an aggregate OF
nearly 1920. In addition to these figures
the church has raised larger sum fol
missionary purposes than during any one
of the past fifteen years. In the tOta
amount, above, the the other benevo
; lences incidental to church work, are mo-
included. The congregation at both tn,
= morning and evening services has con
stantly increased, and the church look
, forward to greater growth in number
|. and interest during the year to come
I We are glad TO learn that a unanimou
: request will go to the conference tina
: Mr.. Chapman be returned to this charge
r The intention now is to make further re
pairs Oh the church edifice during tn
summer, completing somewhat the plal
. upon which the work proceeded las
/ year.
