"The Golden Rule" c. K. Union held its
second quarterly convention at the Christ
iau church Saturday, the 2Sth Of January.
and though the morning was cold and the
snow falling, the attendance was large,
thus showing that cold and storms were
not sufficient to dampen the ardor Of sThe
Golden Rule" endeavorers. The meeting
was well planned and the program finely
carried out by the wise and energetic presi-
dent, Rev. G.. III. Morse of Rrookfield The
address OF welcome was made by Prof. n. j
Whitehill, president of the entertaining
society. The Professor said that Christian
Endeavor stands for one idea and as repre-
sensations of that idea, the delegates were
heartily welcomed. President Morse's re-
Spouse was timely and TO the effect that
"The Golden Rule" Union came to the
Christian G. E. society with the full assur-
ance that the two would blend well togeth,
err.
The general topic OF the day was "uhrist-
ian Endeavorers and Revival Work" An
address, "True and False Conceptions of
Revivals," by Rev. James Ramage OF South
Royalton, was stirring and profitable
The speaker said that the revival was re-
turn to life, a recovery from languor or ne
glect, a religious quickening, illustrated
by the return OF life manifested in all ma
ture In the springtime. Rev. Mr.. Ramage
emphasized the point that people are dis
trustful OF revival work; because some re-
vival converts do not perseYere; and again,
that there is an unwholesome excitement
that should not be in religion, though the
same critics would be as intensely in earn
est In regard to worldly interests. "Christ
commanded us to fight, and is there not
earnestness on the battlefield2 Paul ad-
monished us to run, and should not he who
would run in race be in earnest? II is
causen
Mr.. March Wilson OF Bethel read good
paper on "Soul Winning" Miss Nellie
Nutting OF Randolph, Leslie Smith OF Tun-
bridge and Miss Lula Adams of SO. Roy
alton read interesting papers on special
features OF the general topic.
These papers were followed by remarks
OF one OF the lady evangelists lately work
ing in Brookfield, Miss Milton-remarks
which were very suggestive and helpful to
the Christian Endeavorer. Her subject
was soul Winning" and she emphasized
especially that the endeavorer should be
sure of his own salvation and then earnest,
fearless work for Christ, though in weak
ness yet in His strength, would surely be
crowned with victory. Miss May Ham
mond OF Burlington sent a paper on Jun
Tor Endeavor Work. to be read, and
glowing report OF State convention at Ben
nington was given by Miss Edith Abbott
This was the second convention since
1.-The White River Valley Unionn was di-
vided, both OF which have been successful
meetings. Twelve societies were already
in the union and the Braintree society was
added at this session.
The largest society in the union is the
Christian society Of this place, mbering
"a, and the Cong'l society, also of this place,
stands second, with a membership of IS;
while the smallest is perhaps that at Gays
Vile, numbering 10. The secretary OF the
union is Miss Edith Edison OF Randolph.
The second convention closed, as did the
first, with a conservation service.
