When you look over the prospectus of
the musical convention be sure to examine
the top of page %. It is part of the reg
ular program and always responds to an
y
pectus, a postal card addressed to G. F.
Root, Newport, will bring one by the next
mail. 1t has fine story to tell, and among
other things it emphasizes the sHome
Talent Concert" of which much is to be
made. Round trip fare from Barton is 60
cents. "Come at the start-stay to the fin
ish," is the way they put it, and that is
about the way to do. That means from
Monday eve, Feb. 3, to Friday eve, Feb. Z.

As Mr.. ConweIl is to speak here to-mor-
row evening, the following from the st.
Johnsbury Republican will be of interest:
Russell FL. Conweu of Philadelphia, pleas
antly known to St. JOhnsbury people,
spoke recently in Brooklyn on the Church
as an Institution" and perhaps a short
summary of his work as the pastor Of the
Baptist Tabernacle might prove interest
ing and instructive, as the doctor himself
states. He began his work at Philadelphia
eight years ago, with parish of about 80
members and heavily in debt, with the
one idea of rendering glory to God, thro'
the elevation of man by helping him to
help himself" The first step was the ad-
dition of a reading room to the church and
augmenting religious influence out of a
social conversion; secondly a gymnasium
was established and the final end in view
the founding of vast collegiate system
which has now volunteer corps of so
teachers and 6782 scholars, and the erection
Of the temple aud college buildings at
cost. of 100000. The church has mem
bership of $500 people. The beginning of
this mighty task was by working among
the people and bringing them in, and they
joined the church for the purpose of get
ting work to do. The educational work is |
on the regular graduation system with
complete education in view and with the |
Princeton Methods
The following, clipped from Pasadena,
CAL, paper, will be of interest to many in /
this county and vicinity, who knew Mrs.
Twombly for many years: ''On Dec. 31st, |
Mrs. Mary Aldrich Twombly, wife of Aaron |
TWombly, was called to her eternal home |
after eleven days illness of pneumonia.
She was born in Danville, Vermont, Feb.
Il, $50. At II years of age she moved to
where she married Aaron
Dec. 4, 1854 They lived in Bar
ion IA years, afterwards moving to Lyn-
1onville, where they resided Is years. The
past four years they have resided in Pasa-
lena, as have also their three children, Mrs.
Charles Randall and Mr.. Albert and Fred
Twombly. In the early years of Mrs. Twom-
oly's married life she entered heartily into
jhe work of her Master. Her strong faith,
ner purity of character, her great unself-
shness and the love she bore for the Christ
cast radiance around her life, which was
e1t by all with whom she was brought in
contact. She heartily engaged in all work
hat helped to make the world better. The
Methodist church has lost an active work.
II, the w. G. T. U. mourns her loss, and
jhe members of the Chinese mission appre-
,iate their faithful teacher. Not alone in
public ways was her life useful one, but
wherever there was lonely heart, wher-
ever there was sick or bereaved neighbor,
here the sweet presence of Mrs. Twombly
was ever the comfort of the home. After
life of faith and perfect trust no shadows
