we started out together on our dismal
journey. Do you know November has
been dreary month to me ever since
AS we passed over the river and up the
opposite side OF the valley we turned to
look back for a last look at home. 1t
was to be my last view for weeks, for
months, perhaps forever, and my heart
well nigh broke at the thought. Tha,
was the longest journey ever took, for
than the worlds circumference has ever
been since.
When at last arrived in the town
had hard work to keep back my tears,
and my brother had to do his best to
cheer me. Suddenly he pointed to some
one and said There's man that'll give
you cent; he gives one to every new
boy that comes to town | was so afraid
that he would pass me by that planted
myself directly in his path. He was
feeble, old, white haired man. AS he
came up to us my brother spoke to him,
and he stopped and looked at me. why,
have never seen you before. You must
be new boy he said. He asked me
about my home, and then, laying his
trembling hand upon my head. he told
me that, although had no earthly father,
my Heavenly Father loved me, and then
he gave me bright new cent. do not
remember what became OF that cent, but
that old mans blessing has followed me
for over fifty years, and to my dying day
| shall feel the kindly pressure of that
hand upon my head. loving deed costs
very little, but, done in the name of
Christ, it will be eternal. This divine
love is what the church of God needs
today. We discuss and argue over
methods and means, but, after all, the
solution of the problem is love-

AS Seen in the Sanctum.

The service in Music Hall last Sun
day evening recalls the fact that just
Fl years ago, when the nation was
celebrating its centennial, all the
churches in the village united in a
Christian patriotic service. The
meeting was held in big tent at the
upper end Of Summer street and all
the local pastors and a priest from
Newport and two laymen, Col. Fair
banks and Lawyer Dickey, partic-
pated in the services. Certainly 81
years is a good while to wait for
another service like that one and
now that we have had such sue.
cessful one we hope to see more of
them. All who attended the service
last Sunday evening were impressed
with the remarks of the speakers and
the general feeling of Christian unity
and loyal patriotism that pervaded
the place. Judge Ross remarks were
particularly timely and the sacred
ness OF. the civil oath was strongly
brought to our attention. 1t was
also real pleasure to hear for the
first time in public Rev. FIR. Carmodv
and those who heard him felt that
they were listening to man of in
tellectual breadth and one who would
be Of much use to this community.
One does not often hear applause
after addresses on Sunday, but after
all it was Fourth of July and all that
the speakers said was worthy OF
hearty applause.

Once in awhile we hear of man
who is noted because he never wears
overcoat. Representative Dinglev
OF Maine is noted because he never
goes without one. On recent day
when the thermometer registered 900
IN the shade he was seen walking al
a rapid gait along Washington
avenue, wearing heavy suit, last
summers straw hat and on his arm
was the ever-ready long black over
coat. He evidently had no idea that
the weather was unusually warm.

The 500 bicycle is now thing of
the past. Several companies have
within week or two cut the price
Of their highest grade wheels down
TO SIS and the time is near at hand
when any Of the high grade wheels
can be bought for that and perhaps
later on for $50 The output of
cheaper wheels, apparently just as
good as the high-priced ones, is
probably the cause of this reduction.

The Maryland Steel company has
received an order for $500 tons of
steel rails from railroad in India.
This marks the introduction Of
American rails in India. English
manufacturers have thus far con-
trolled the supply of rails in India,
and American manufacturers have
for some time been trying to get
foothold there. American rails are
cheaper and superior to the English
and railroads Of India may be dis
covering this fact.

One of the smartest men who ever
graduated from our Academy was
seen last week at his college com
mencement and a St. Johnsbury
friend asked him when he was going
to send his children to St. Johnsbury
Academy. He hesitated a moment
before replying and then said he did
not dare to send his children to
place where there was so much ty-
phoid fever. Upon being reminded
that neither the Academy or any Of
the public buildings had the river
water, he said that there were still
many places in town where this
water was found and he could not
afford to run the risk. When people
are keeping their children away from
our Academy we ought to ask our.
selves in all seriousness how long we
shall have impure water in our
houses. There are serious problems
before us besides the school question
and one OF the most importantis our
water question. There were 4Ocases
OF typhoid fever here last December.
but there are still those who are
drinking river water and also drink
ing river ice.
