NOTICE.

We are informed by our col
lectors that great many subscrib-
ers in the city are complaining OF
not getting the paper regularly
We regret very much to learn this
and the only possible explanation
we know, is, the paper is either
not called for, or we have not the
address properly written. For
certain it is that the paper is mail
ed each week to all our subscrib-
ers except the few to whom we
give the paper to in person.
However, we would earnestly beg
that whenever anyone fails to get
his number of the paper. Write
us at once, and we will supply
such with copies, so that this need
not be any excuse for not settling
for the paper. 1t will afford US
pleasure to supply such when
notified.

Wlckedness, spend-thritt and
Incidence are among the prime
causes that lead to poverty and
Pauperism. Let religion take the
place of wickedness, and Justice
the place of wrong, and the gamb-
ling dens will be abolished; the
saloons will cease their traffic of
misery and death; industry, dill
gence and economy will supplant
the spendthrift The dark gloom
of pauperism and want will ban
lsh from the earth as the vapor
before the bright CLEAN of the
sunlight, and quietness, pleasure
and plenty will be restored. Sin
always leads to poverty and want,
and wherever want prevails it may
be attributed to sin and wicked
ness as the cause thereof. But re-
ligion leads to prosperity and
plenty. The wise man said that
Righteousness exalteth a nation,

Church Splits.

One Of the greatest evils that
effect the Baptist Churches of the
west, IS these frequent and uncall-
ed for Church splits. They should
be discouraged. The Baptists
need to turn their faces squarely
against this ruinous practice so
prevalent within our ranks.
There may be, and doubtless
there are instances wherein a
Church split proves to be favor
able toa more systematic, evan
gelistic work. But certain it is
not true Of the Church splits in
the west.
The membership Of no Church
in the west IS sufficiently strong
as to justify split. Hence it is
greatly detrimental to the best in
terests Of our Church work in
every way. This, to my mind, is
very apparent from the following
considerations:
First-These splits tend to Gre
ate disunion, strife and contention
within our ranks. For, in every
case, the faction that &C out from
the original Church, do so with
out asking permission of the
Church, and a great many do
not even obtain letters of dlsmis-
sion from said body Of which they
are members. Hence, they de-
part in disorderly manner, and
are therefore discountenanced by
the mother Church as an liligit1-
mate and disorderly congregation.
Hence the war commenced within
the Church between the two fac
tions IS kept at white heat there
after.
The seeding party 60 out with
swords unsheathed, and as soon as
IN organization IS effected they |
turn weapons upon the mother
Church, and she being ready for
battle, takes up the challenges and
begins to Shell into the new or
This disunion and in
state Of affairs is con-
.rary to Scripture, religion, reason,
or common sense. The old ad-
lge, together We stand, divided
We fall" or fail, is as true with re-
ipect to our UNCONVENTIONAL work,
i it IS concerning any king
lom. nation, state or party.
Christ. on the night of his be-
rayal, prayed for Perpetuation Of
lnion among his disciples as be
ne essential to their success in
he world.
Paul instructed the brethren at
-orinth to be Of one mind. and of
me judgment. and to allow no di-
rlsions to be within their ranks.
An army cannot be able to
,ope with the enemy. if there be
war going Oh within their own
anks. 1t weakens their force,
destroys their influence, and opens
he food gates for the commission
II sins of the most damnable ma
ure; and thus the work is Grip
lied all along the line.
Yea, more-it means victory
or our antagonist. They take
The Baptist headlight., 1894-02-22

advantage of our disunion, rush
in and take possession of the
spoils. The devil delights to see
the children of God fighting with
in their own ranks. He can then
easily play his game of DECEPTION
and ruin upon the people.
But secondly, it reduces the
membership of the mother Church
and increase the burden of each
party, rendering them unable to
employ competent and worthy
minister OF the Gospel to preside
over them. And therefore a num-
Der of our Churches remain with
out pastors year in and year out.
They want frst-class preacher at
a second-class salary, which prop
osltlon will but seldom work we'll.
Our Churches want to realize
the tact that our worthy men are
always in demand; and some inn
portant inducements must be pre-
sented to such to persuade them
to make a change of their fields
OF labor. But now, to illustrate:
There is Church in certain CITY
with a regular congregation of
three hundred persons. And with
membership of $50, wrangle
occurs in the Church and 60 of
those members go out and organ
lie a new Church. There is not
more than 400 persons in the town
(colored, | mean) who attend
Church.
The new organization draws on
this four hundred persons to the
extent of $50, including their
membership. Now, can either one
OF these Churches. all things con-
sidered, employ a good man tor
all OF his time. and pay him liv-
ing salary7
The answer is apparent. No;
first, the membership is too small;
and secondly the congregation |
does not afford sufficient material |
if it could be utilized to insure a
growth in numerical strength, suf-
hclently ample to make the
Church self-sustaining. Whereas,
if each factor were members OF
one Church in the city, they would
be able to keep good pastor and
give him liberal support. This
would be credit to the denomi-
nation and at the same time it
would meet the approval of our
Heavenly Father.

We were agreeaby entertained and in
structed on Tuesday last at the farmers
meeting held in the old Academy build
ing. As was mentioned in this paper last
week, the State Board of Agriculture
furnished us with three able and well in
formed speakers, who performed their
part well in helping to lift the average
farmer from his rutty ways, and to i'm
part to him knowledge gained by expert
ence on their respective farms in our old
Green Mountain State. The principal
speakers were: Messrs. Sanford, Spear
and Vail, members of the State board.
In speaking of our hospitality, Hon.
Justin Sanford, "the lion of the tribe"
said "they had been killed by kindness, :"
and they would remember with pleas
ure the farmers meeting at Bennington
Centre" Nearly one hundred attended
the meeting in the evening to hear Mr.
Sanford handle the subject of Enrich
ing the Farm The gentlemen en-
braced the opportunity to visit the mon
ument and the Robinson collection of
Bennington Battle relics, taking by the
hand the identical sword carried by the
unfortunate Baum. In his closing adj
dress, Mr.. Sanford paid a glowing trib-
ute to Bennington, one of the most beau
tiful spots on Gods footStoo(, predict
ing for us a bright future, as nature has
wonderfully blest us with such beautiful
scenery,

The first recorded Episcopal service
held in Vermont was in the spring of
1904, when Captain Jehiel Hawley moved
from New Milford, Conn.,, to this town,
and at once began holding Episcopal
service in his own house, attended by
people from all the coHntry round, which
he continued every Sunday for years.
Thus was established the first Episcopal
church in Vermont. No church was
built at Arlington until 1884, when tax
of two shillings pound was levied for
the expense. The church was occupied
in 1856 but not completed till 1903. The
history of the Episcopal church in
Vermont is just entering upon its fifth
epoch.

Among the interesting meetings held
by the State Board of Agriculture this

organized with the Hon. Silas Mason as
chairman, and a scholarly address of
welcome was given by Readsboro's ris-

Mr. Vail occupied the afternoon with a
discussion of the dairy topic, and Mr..
Sanford continued the same subject in
the evening with "Handling the Product
of the Cow" in the private dairy and
creamery. The Readsboro cornet band
furnished music for the occasion. Large
audiences attended the meetings and
much interest was manifested, both in
the addresses and in the discussions
which followed.
