YOUNG PEOPLES DAY.
Church Last sunday Morning---Rev.
MIR. MRIweII's Inspiring Sermon.

Young Peoples day was observed with
special services at the Universalist church
last Sunday. The colors of the Young
Peoples union, blue and white. were ar
ranged about the pulpit and in its recess
and we're draped from the rail in front of
the choir. a few small United States flags
were also used in the decorations. The
! Dung Peoples union entered the church
III a body and occupied the centre seats
Rev. Mr. Maxwell preached a stirring and
inspiring sermon from the text, John l., l,
In the Beginning was the Word"
The speaker said that John Ruskin, the
noted critic and writer, tells us that
large number OF the failures which men
encounter IN every field of effort are at
trbutable not 50 much to insutficiency of
means in the number and possibilities of
the methods employed as to the want Of a
clear conception OF what is TO be aimed at.

know what you have 10 do and do II; -
that Is, the first condition of success is an
accurate knowledge of the end which is TO
be realized there must be some definite
purpose, some idea, some ideal in the mind
Al ali times, in times of partial success and
In hours OF discouragements and disap-
pointments. All great men have been un-
der the magnetic control of a great pur-
pose So, too, We young people must
have definite aim in life, a welI-dehned
ideal which we thoroughly understand.
The conception, the idea, the knowledge
must precede the external act.

painter the poet, in fact the inspired and
skilled In every department of work. Be
fore this universe was brought into being,
The idea, the knowledge, the word was in
the mind OF God, and creation and saliva
ton are simply the gradual expression OF
this idea in outward form. II is to be re-
GREETED that many young men and women
have no definite purpose in life; in many
cases their lives are simply succession OF
random shots which exhaust energy and
bring no compromising results. Resolve
to do some one thing well; this is an age
OF specialists, and the man who is an au-
thorlty or an expert in one particular line
Is needed by the world But in each mans
life there is a purpose superior to the per
sona purpose. The primary duty of man
IS TO be a strong Christian man first and
then good lawyer, or physician, or ma
chinlst afterwards: cultivate a noble char
acter and then any honest work in which
We engage will be divine.
Frank Flagg, president of the union,
presided at the evening service, and gave a
historical sketch of the local and national
\ Dung Peoples unions. Rev. Mr.. Max
well gave a l5-minute address upon the
objects and claims of religious work among
the young people. The special musical
program included the song of the Tempest
by Frank Brasor, clarinet solo by William
Donahue and cornet solo by Sewall Morse

The Brattleboro Y. NJ. G. A. had anoth-

Wednesday night, and when the footings
had been made the story stood Brattle-
bOro %, Northampton c'the old sporting
rival q. The game opened with a rush,
two long passes giving Allen the ball, and
he lodged it in the basket. The home
players kept up their fast work and at the
end of the first half had the game well in
hand, IL to 2. Northampton made two
goals in the second half but Brattleboro
rolled mp seven. Cartwright's throw from
the centre of the hall into the basket, two
long successful throws by Sanders, and
Aliens peculiar losses over his shoulder
were the spectacular features of this half.
The crowd cheered repeatedly, and &C
knowledged the good work by calls TO the
individual players White of Northamp-
ton fell in this half while running at full
speed, and rolled over several times. His
head struck the floor and he was 50 badly
dazed that COnroy took his place. Allen
shot baskets with his usual accuracy, and
Howe, Sanders and Cundiff have seldom
played harder or cleaner ball. Stolte made
his debut as a registered player, and did
well. DE is very quick in his passes and

work. The visitors were nonpussed by
Brattleboro's speedy passing game, and

Thursday night, Feb. TO- of Captain In
pudence' by the author, Edwin Milton
Royle and his wife, well known as
Selena Fetter, and a company OF great
reputation, Friends" was Mr.. RoyIe's
first play, and the American stage
has known none superior. Although both
plays have not been seen here, their repu-
tation has preceded them. Boston papers
of two weeks ago unanimously endorsed
Mr. Royle's company and play. The pro-
duction will be given with the original
scenery and company, as the names of
Thaddeus Shine, Joseph Cusack, Benz.
Graham and Mamie Dupont indicate.
Captain Impudence" is about equally d.
vided in comedy and serious parts. The
serious side of the play reaches to the
height of actual warfare, while the comedy
is rich and really funny.

IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE
Sign the Petition for an Extra
Train Each Way Each Day.
The Additional Trains would GIVE he'-
ter Postal Service, and would A'-
commodate Thousands of Passenger

III. Addt,tonst Trains would give Ret
ter Postal Service, and would A'-
commodate Thousands of Passenger
Brattleboro people were greatly inter
ested in the announcement in The fh~ulA
last week of a movement Tor improved
train service for Connecticut valley towns
between Springfield, Mass, and Whlie
River junction. A petition is being CIR
culated asking for the early morning uaiH
leaving Springfield at 4:lj, running
through to White River Jun-t ton; ana lot
return train leaving White River juno
ton about G:30 J.. NJ. for Springfield MS
petition is in the hands of l.. r, Adams
and is being signed by many people. All
who are interested in this improved ser
vice, which will be a great advantage ana
convenience. are requested 10 sign the
paper. which is addressed to the Boston a
Maine railroad company and the postal
officials.
Trains running as suggested would
bring to Brattleboro early in the morning
mail dropped in the New York post-ofii y
as late as II o'clock the previous evening
Letters mailed here at 5 IN the evening
would be in New York early the next
morning. Connections would be made
each way with the night trains TO New
York, and 1t is thought there would be a
large patronage in the summer by city
people who wish to spend a part OF the
time in the country. People could 60 from
here to Springfield late in the afternoon,
remain over night, and return in time for
a days work the following day
At present there is no train north III
the morning until ll:lO, and the last one
southbound reaches here al 4:3j. 1t IS
impossible for a business man 10 reach
Bellows Falls or any other nearby north
ern town until noon, and he has only two
! or three hours in which TO transact bus
ness if be is TO return home the same day,
| The new arrangement would enable q
man to be in any town between here ant
! White River Junction early IN the day
and he could conduct q days business al
| his destination before returning. Through
connections at Northampton, Greenfield
South Vernon, Bellows Falls, ClaremOnt
junction and White River junction many
hours would be saved to any one in the
| Connecticut Valley who wished to 60 tC
any part of New England.
This improved train service would b,
of incalculabe benefit to thousands OF
people. 1t ought 10 be secured, and every
one ought to sign the petition, thus help
ing the cause by showing the railroad and
postal authorities that there is a pressing
demand for the extra trains.

tion at the expiration of his term as post
master a few weeks hence The people
of Brattleboro, and the friends of Major
Childs everywhere, will learn with pleas
ure that his health has improved so much
as to warrant him in undertaking this
wort, the performance of which will as
sure his continued residence in Brattleboro.
The place is an important one, in view of
the large local business acquired by the
New York Life during a long term OF
years, and it is one for which Major

ample experience in life insurance work
before he gave up a prosper Gus business
in that line to become postmaster.
A. =. Childs of Bennington, agency d.
rector for Vermont, will have general su-
pervision of this field, in connection with

sesses very firm hold upon its clientage.
Next week the company will present some
| interesting facts and figures about its vol.
ume of business and the basis upon which
it appeals to the public for continued conf.
dence and support.
