each. October It'll, preliminary meet
ing was held consisting of General
Officers, State Superintendent and

the need of more abiding spirituality
III our work was considered. At the
afternoon session, plans of work for the
year were proposed and discussed.

tants taking part. All did themselves
credit, and by their recitations preached
temperance more effectively than could
have been done through any other chan
mel. Music Hall was crowded with an
appreciative audience. Thursday morn
ing the convention proper opened, with
devotional exercises led by Miss Leitah,
returned missionary from Ceylon.

bility that would arouse every home to
do its part. 1t is not the much that one
may do. but the little that many can do.
Temperance is broad word in the w.
c. T. U. Lexicon; Total abstinence for
the individual; State and National Pro-
hibition; No compromise with evil;
no license of wrong. The bearing of the
cross must precede the wearing of the
crown. What we need most in the State
is to educate the children. Keep tenn
perance before the people Help enforce
the laws. Magnify the work of our de-
partments. Let us comfort our hearts,
that all truth is eternal. That we are
living to-day for the days to come. That
no days work ends with the setting of
the sun.
The report of the Superintendent,
showed much earnest work accom-
plished, in the twenty departments the
State has taken up.
Thursday evenings Union reception
in the church parlor, was followed by
an interesting programme.
All of the general officers and most of
the superintendent were unanimously
reelected.
Friday evening Mrs. Josephine R.
Nichols, Worlds and National Superin-
tendent of fair work, gave an address,
which was listened to with breathless in
terest; her beautifully rounded SEN
fences meeting with hearty applause.
All returned to their homes feeling that
the seventeenth annual convention of
Vermont Women's Christian Temper
ance Union had indeed been an inspira-
ton, and by our resolutions pledged our
selves to greater activity in the church,
the home and the schools.
The Worlds and National convention
will be held in Boston, Nov. Ills. Yer
mont is entitled to four delegates which
were duly elected as follows: Mrs. A. F.

North POwnaI.

An abandoned Store: On the west side
of the river kept by Porter E. Brown
nearly twenty years past. We have no
ticed well marked signs of deterioration
on that side of the Hoosac for long
time. This decay even extends three
miles up the river, and there, where once
was thriving industry of its kind, now
stands an abandoned grist mill, and on
the opposite wayside has sprung up
cider mill, surrounded by dilapidated
tenements, being suitable quarters in
deed for vermin of every description.
Now this store has afforded comfortable
sitting room so many years for literary
club of much distinction, and we wonder
where this cosmopolitan fraternity shall
meet hencforth in regular conclave.
Nature, however, has SO many ways of
conforming its needs to circumstances
that we hope some how all of these diff
culties will find their proper adj
justment. After five years probably this
store will be for sale, but no Sweeds need
ants requires those who can speak lido
matte English. However, in case the
quicksand becomes "hardpan," no
doubt new spirit of thriftness will
mark the change. Not long
enough in the community to become ac-
customed to civilization. Some one. ac-
quainted with their language, will please
inform them that their genuferions and
gestures, when passing the school house.
must be dispensed with. They disturb
the school. No doubt they see on the
building, perhaps in the ventilation. that
which excites in them religious venera-
ton, and their grimdces, ETC., are moth
ing else than forms of MOhamedan wOr-
ship. Probably when they are informed
of their mistake they will transfer their
gymndStjc exhibitions to other and more
sui able quarters.
