Nevers & Jones Minstrels.

Nevers x JONES' Minstrels played at
the Opera House Saturday evening to
small audience. The show had SO
few features worth mentioning that but
little comment is necessary. Most of
the songs We're old and many of the
gags were so antiquated that they
should have been brought in on
clutches. The Essex quartet sang very
well Harris and Morrissey did an old
time knockabout act that was excellent
and Arthur Nevers played two brilliant
cornet solos. Beyond these the show
was the worst seen here in long time.
George Wright, late of the "1492'' COM
pany and basso Of artistic promi-
nence, was troubled with severe cold
and did not appear in usual form.

An Anniversary Sermon.

Rev. Z. r. b. Dodge, the popular and
eiiicient pastor OF the Baptist church
preached an anniversary sermon last
sunday morning, it being the com
mencement of the sixth year of hi.
ministerial labors in this place. The
text was chosen from | Samuel, 18th
chapter and 18th verse. The preacher
SAID that it was five years ago that he
began his ministry among the people
OF Bellows Falls and that the sermon OF
the morning, while an anniversary ser.
mon, would be one of review rather
than achievement.
A few of the best sentences in the
sermon We're: II do not believe in sal
walton through form and ceremony, or
IN universal salvation, but in salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus.
LAS interpret the New Testament
| can administer the rite of baptism
only by immersion and l believe that
the church had no right to Introduce
infant baptism and against this | shall
continue to protest.
III would have this house a place of
resort from morning until night and
leave the latch-string always out l
believe that whatever is proper to be
done in the home is proper to be done
in the church.
II do not believe in narrow sectarian-
Ism. 1t is not necessary for any man
TO belong to a church in order to be a
Christian.
1.-The past five years have been exceed
lngly pleasant ones to me but not en-
llrely satisfactory 81 have bsen re-
celved into church membership but the
number should have been double that"
The sermon was very closely listened
to and all who heard it spoke in terms
Of admiration.

When the wires were first put in some
eight or nine years ago wooden cleat'
were used where the wires were fas
tened to the building. These cleat'
have now been removed and porcelain
substituted. This prevents the wires
from coming in contact with wood il
any part of the building and greatly
lessons the chances of fire. When the
wooden cleats were put in they were in
use everywhere but since then insurance
men think they have learned wisdom
by experience. The work in the Opers
House has been done by two repIesen
tatives of the General Electric Co.

Men went in their shirt sleeves, and
women spread parasols. The soda
water man resurrected his fountain,
and the girls were treated to their first
ice cream. Occasionally summer
dress was seen, and few straw hats
made their appearance. A few belated
housewives finished the annual carni-
val, and on the whole the town seems
in pretty good condition to enter active
ly upon the summer campaign.

AWAY.

cannot say and will not say
That be is dead. He is Just away!
With oheery smile and wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since he fingers there.
And you-O you, who the widest yearn
For tue old time step and the glad return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there as the love of here.
Mild and gentle as he was brave
When the sweetest love of his life he gave
To simple things; where the v1ole grow
Pure as the eyes they were l1kened to.
The touches of his hands have stayed
As reverent y as his lips have prayed.
And The little, brown thrush that harshly
chirred
Was dear to him as the hooking bird;
And he pitied as much as man In pain
A writhing honey-bee wet with rain.
Think of him still as the same, say,
He is not deud-he is just away
