The village was canvassed Wednesday
afternoon to ascertain how many would
take electric lights of the Lyndonville
plant. We understand that none will be
put in unless takers for 100 lights are
secured. 1t would seem as if there might
be many more than that number, and at
the prices named it would in many cases
be cheaper than kerosene, while in all
cases the electric light would be fair
equivalent for the money. We hope pub
lie spirited citizens will not allow this
opportunity to pass by without improv-
ing it.

13;20-2l, The discourse was full of i'm
pressive words, exhorting them with
earnestness to live a life of perfection in
all things as far as was possible He
expressed his regrets that he was not
able to do more for the people here, but
was well pleased with the treatment he
received. He said: "The relation of a
pastor to a people is often of a most
tender character, He desires to reach
all. Though this has not been accom-
plished yet let us rejoice in that some
have been brought from their sinful way"
He said that he had never spent more
happy and profitable years than since he
came to this town. His closing message
was; "Seek for the highest, broadest and
deepest Christian life attainabIe on the
earth"
