THE VERMONT G. A. R.

The Twenthy- y-seventh Annual Meeting
of the Department of Vermont, G. A. R,
will convene in the City Hall at Burling-
ton, January 30th, and continue two
| days. The Convention of the Woman's
Relief Corps will be held the same days.
Stannard Post of Burlington are making
every exertiOn to render the Encamp-
ment one of the most successful ever
held in the Department. The headquar-
ters of the department will be estab-
llshed at the Van Ness House and the
committee on credentials will be there
Monday evening" January Goth, to exam
inc credentials, and the Council of Ad-
ministIation will meet to audit the ae-
counts of the quartermaster general.
The Encampment will be called to Or
der at 1920, Tuesday, the 30th. 1t will
soon after be followed by the report of
the assistant adjutant general, from
which it will be seen that the order has
before this reached its high water mark,
and is now ON the wane. The report will
show that during the year there has
been small loss of comrades, and that
two Posts have disbanded. The number
of comrades in the Department at the
last meeting was 5400, and it is probable
that it will never reach that figure again.
There have been since the Department
held its first meeting in Montpelier in
1868, nineteen department commanders.
The first one was General George z. Fos-
ter, and he is the only one of the number
that has died, and the remainder will be
present at the Encampment, with possl-
bly, one or two exceptions. The report
of the inspector general will show that
generally the Posts are in good condition.
Many of them havetheir own arms and
equipments, some are uniformed, and
the officers in the main are well up in
their duties. The reports of the medical
officer will show that there have been
107 deaths i'll the Department during the
year. The relief fund in several of the
Posts has been called on more than usual
during the past season. There are now
10 Posts in the Department. OF this

BENNINGTON COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL UNION,

The annual meeting of the Bennington
County Sunday School Union was held
at the Second Congregational church in
this village, on Wednesday of this week.
1t was one of the most successful and
largely attended ever given by the Union.
The weather was not the best during
the day, while in the evening it was ''cy-
clonic" in it's nature and there was a
"driying' rainstorm.
Upwards of sixty delegates were pres
ent at the opening session, increasing to
twice that number in the afternoon, and
in the evening forming large congre-
CATION in the church auditorium.
The session was interesting as the re-
vival of Union doing good work
throughout the county for many years,
but for few years past holding no con-
ventions.
More than fifty Sunday schools, were
reported in the county, most Of them
under the care of local church. Near
ly score, however, are union schools,
engaged in missionary and outdistrict
work.
The Sunday school workers of Man
chester maintain two such schools; those
of Peru, three, and in the outskirts of
Bennington there are four. These
Schoo.S become centerS Tor evangellStlc
work in their neighborhoods, and a
training ground for Christian workers.
Two outposts of this nature are held by
the workers of Dorset.
The officers elected for the year are
President, Rev. Chas. H. Peck of North
Bennington; vice-president, Rev. j. A.
Swart, of Manchester Centre; secretary,
Mr.. NJ. b. Morgan of Bennington; treas
urer, Mr.. E. d. Bennett of Bennington.
Board of Managers: President, secre-
tary, treasurer, Mr.. w. A. Adams of
Manchester Centre, and Rev. w. II. G.
Newinston of West Rupert.
The attention of superintendent is
called to some of the resolutions. One
advising the use of lesson on temper
ance once a Quarter. Another encour-
aging churches and Christian Endeavor
Societies in out-district Sunday school
work and neigbberhood Prayer meet
ings. And, again, in recommending the
Home Department in securing lesson
study at home, and by members of fami-
lies not able to attend church.
A resolution was also made recogniz-
ing the excellent help given by partici-
pants in the convention programme, and
the generous hospitality of our Ben
nington hosts. Reports were received
from nearly half of the schools. The
secretary would be pleased to hear from
the others.

sch 9me for paying off their pecuniary
obligations. Notwithstanding his vivid
imagination when Heaven and hell are
to be cOmprehended in discourse, DR..
Talmage has no comprehension that the
church is no less sacredlyR bound to pay
its debts than theatrical company. If
the true story is ever told by Russell
Sage of the transaction by which the
church trustees through DR.. Talmage
secured the loan and then refused pay
ment, still another startling chapter
will have to be added to the life of the
startling preacher He personally per-
suaded the millionaire TO lend the money
without security, his only promise be-
ing repayment of the debt within a pc
riod of four months. When that time
expire8, or about that time, he went
again to Mr.. Sage and talked with him
earnestly enough to put off the threats
of foreclosure So far the information
of the correspondent is accurate, but
what happened after can only be sur
missed All that Mr.. Sage will say is that
he has waited for four years for the
church to pay its debt, and in that time
has sent them no formal demand for
| payment of either principal or interest.
His liking for Talmage's oratory, fact
that originally led him to make the loan,
may not have lessened, but he would
not be glad to have him for the executor
of his own estate. The suspicion is very
strong that the preacher counted upon
wearing out the patience of the million

January 18th was the anniversary OF
the independence of Vermont as a sOver
eign State and Vermonters all over the
country celebrated the anniversary with
cOngratulatory speeches. The mos
noteworthy observance of the anniver
sary, however, was that of the Brooklyn
society of VermonteIs. Col. Robert j
Kimball presided. From the address OF
Hon. Roswell G. Horr, to the toast of:
"a small but mighty people" we take an
interesting extract: Vermont has only
about $500 square miles, and those can
be measured only by the use of instru.
ments and mathematical calculations
which determine areas that cannot Ee
reached with compass and chain. New
York is five times as large as the State
of Vermont You can cut the little
State of Vermont out of Texas 27 times
and then have edgings enough left to
make another State as large as Connecti-
cut aud Rhode Island combined. And
yet who would not rather have been born
in Vermont than in Texas? When a
person says 81 was born in Vermont
that means something. The statement
carries with it definite idea. One says
instantly There is person who was
actually born somewhere" Nd cOnfu-
sion as to locality follows such state
ment, when say II was born in Yer
mont there is nothing vague about that
statement | remember year ago at
your anniversary. Mr.. Phelps, exminis-
ter to the court of st. James, attempted
to explain the intense love of Vermont
ers for their native State, upon the the
ory that a country full of mountains,
where people have to struggle in order
to hive at at all, always develops in its
people an intense feeling of local love
and local pride. There is no doubt
somewhat of truth in that theory. But
he admitted another fact that must be
included 70 fully account for thu intense
love of Vermonters for the place Of their
birth, and that is the size of the State it
self. 1t is not so large as to destroy
ones identity, and identity is the mother
of intensity. A person with healthy,
active affections can spread himself all
over the State of Vermont without any
patches getting so thin as to lead to un-
comfortable exposures. In travelling
over the United States | have noticed
that the people of Vermont are more
completely American than the people of
almost any other Northern State. Rhode
Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts
have had such an immense influx of for
eigners that the people of those States
are no longer purely Americans. The
New England character has been modi-
fled in those States by coming in con-
tact and mixing with the people from the
old world. There is comparatively little
of that in Vermont. Go where you will
in the Green Mountain State, you come
across new editions of Molly Stark and
Ethan Allen.

In an open letter to Senator Hoar of

devoted interest in the cause of my AL

for Virginia which the men of Massa-
chusetts had for the Old. Dominion in

England friends in favor of an industry
upon which is one of the revenues of life
of the Old Dominion" He then argues
against free coal. He sums up as fol-
lows: Flee coal means free ships, as
far as foreign coal is concerned, and the
British tramp, which has driven the
American flag from foreign seas, would
doubtless hold its own in the transpOrta-
ton of foreign coal-especially Canadian
coal, as American vessels cannot carry
this coal without paying to the DOmn-
ion government license fee for the priv
ilege. And | venture to assert that
New England would lose the first year as
much in freight paid her ship owners
and sailors as her manufacturers and
other consumers of coal would gain
from free COAL

The first sale of bonds announced by
Secretary Carlisle is more than sub
scribed for, but it is evident that bid
ders for small amounts have little show
of obtaining them. The margin of profit
is so small, under the competitive sys-
TEN of bidding, that the banks are not
so eager to invest and the result will be
that more powerful syndicates will con
troll the transaction. There is some CON
cern expressed already as to the manner
in which the gold will be obtained for
the purchase of the bonds. 1t is feared
that legal tender Treasury notes will be
offered at the Sub-Treasury for redemp-
tion in gold, and in this way the Gov
ernment's gold will be used to pay for
the bonds.
