or lights, and it is probable that the
village would not vote under any cir
cumstances to adopt any private sys
tenn. This whole thing should be
most carefully considered, and. before
anything is done the cost OF the cree
ton of plant, the cost OF It's main
tenance, the proposed rental value
and everything connected with the
matter should be ascertalned.
One of our neighbors from an ad-
Joining town, who can tell the char
acter and worth Of coarse wooded
sheep at a snapshot glance, got be-
wildered and led astray in this village
on recent evening, much to his dis
appointment and disgust. He has
had quite varied experiences, but
they have not run in the line ofpray
err meetings. He noticed the announce
ment that Frank E. Healey, whom he
had known as a preacher and smart
speaker was to address the people of
this village on Danger Ahead" and
OWNED that his lecture would be on
the A. P. A. line, a subject OF interest
to him. On the appointed evening he
came to town, and as he got into the
suburbs noticed the crowd moving on
and saw that they were entering the
Cong church. He put his horse I'M
der cover and joined the crowd, the
gentleman in the vestibule politely in
viting him to seat. His age and sane
timonious appearance were such that
the usher showed him we'll up to the
front and located him, as it happened,
among some Of the deacons and pas
tors who filed that part of the church.
He noticed a large number of women
and young people present, but sup
posed the popularity of the speaker
was such as to fill the house with the
best elements Of the place. Present
~ the big organ broke forth and some
one announced a number from the
Gospel Hymns. For several minutes
the singing continued, land then some
body startled the visitor by prayer.
The ceremonies were reaching a sol
emnity which he did not understand
nor enjoy, but he was still looking for
the A.P.A. man to appear. The chair
man, when the preliminary ceremo-
and introduce the speaker, none other
than DR.. Heath of ST. JohnsburY. The |
cold sweat stood outin large drops on
the brow Of the poor man as it dawn
ed upon him that he had got into the
wrong pew and the wrong meeting. |
He had innocently walked into a
Christian Endeavor convention, in
stead of an A. P. A. gathering. 1t is !
sincerely hoped that the influence and |
association of that hour will be of +
lasting benefit, though the effect for
the first few days did not seem to 1
point in the line of an immediate con-
version.
