At the congregational church on
Sunday morning the Rev. q. HI. De
Bevoise spoke to good sized audience
in behalf of the Kurn Hattin Homes.
He said there was nothing visionary
about the Homes, either the object or
its results. That the first of September
they started afresh, clear of debt, and
that the work would be carried forward
on sound financial basis. Mr.. De-
Bevoise pertinently said that the Kurn
Hattin Homes did not belong exclu-
sively to Westminster or even to the
state of Vermont, but to the world.
That here just across the river was a
grand opportunity to do whole-souled
good. He then spoke of the plans as
in the future and laid especial stress on
the thorough religious education of the
boys, hoping to send them out into the
world with sound body, level head,
and righteous heart At the close OF
the services a collection was taken up
to which the congregation generously
responded. La the evening he gave an
address on "Helps and hindrances tC
right living"
