a deep love for Brattleboro, her native
state, and the nation. In the early day;
OF the war, when sick and wounded soldiers
were brought to Vermont, her home was
gladly opened to them, and they received
such tender care that more than one r.
sarded her as a second mother.
The Universalist church never had
more faithful and devoted member. In

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
Rev. w. II. COIIIns's Sermon Last suI
day.


day.
At St. Michael's church on last SUNDAY.
the rector delivered a sermon upon the
subject of the right and proper observance
of the Lords day, the text being the 11Sth
Psalm and oath verse in connection with
Revelation 1:10. Reference was made to
the fact that persons who are closely con-
fined at their several avocations during
the week needed a certain amount of rec
reation of an innocent nature, was not in
consistent with the proper observance of
Sunday provided that those who engaged
in it should first sanctify the day by at
tending at least one public service Of the
church, this being the minimum of such
attendance. He deprecated the proclamation
of the day, at the present time, as shown
by the open neglect of Gods worship and
the seeking of ones own selfish pleasure.
The day itself differed from all
other days, in that it was the day which the
Lord made glorious by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead. As such
it ought to be observed by a regular attend
ance upon public worship, while at the
same time certain of its hours might also
be taken for rest and recreation, COM
blning these two things, a public acknowl-
edgment of ones Christian duties, and
accountability to God, together with inno-
cent enjoyment and relaxation from labor
not inconsistent with the due observance
of the sacred day nor at variance with its
solemn teachings.

w. W ullney WAS not carried out, Dut tney
received cordial greeting from all their
old friends who were present.
The HOlyoke, Mass, Democrat rubs the
ears of a former Brattleboro pastor in this
fashion: "Rev. H. S. Lee of Springfield
preached a sensational sermon in this city
yesterday, going out of his way to abuse
his Catholic fellow citizens, especially his
fellow country men, the French Canadian
people. Rev. Mr.. Lee belongs to the SEN
sational style of ministers. He takes
special pains to pour abuse on those who
differ from him in religion, and evidently
labors under the impression that the more
he abuses the Catholic people the more
friends he will have among the leading
Protestants. This man ought not to be
encouraged in this work. He is free to
practice any religion he selects himself,
but he is not ready to allow others the
same privilege, These are days when the
people of different religions are learning to
live together as brothers and not as
enemies"
The death of Mrs. Deborah Gleason,
widow of the late Joseph Bemis, took place
Sunday after a long illness. Mrs. Bemis
was the daughter of Joseph and Sybil
Gleason, and was born in Dummerston in
1907. She came to West Brattleboro in
1919, and lived there until about three
years ago, since when her home has been
with her daughter in this village. She
was married to Joseph Bemis of Boston in
1926 Three children, a son and two
daughters, were born to them,-Joseph NJ.
Bemis, who died several years ago, and
Mrs. W. II. Pettes and Miss Morgea Bemis,
now residents of this village. The funeral
was held Tuesday, Rev. Mr.. Babbitt of
West Brattleboro officiating. The burial
was in the Prospect Hill cemetery. Mrs.
Bemis Joined the Free viii Baptist church
in Dummerston at an early age. Mrs. Be
mis- was woman whose interests conferred
largely in the home circle, but she greatly
endeared herself to those who knew her
intimately.
