Rev Evan Evans arranged his sermon
for last Sunday morning to be appropr-
ate for the New \ ear, in which he re-
viewed the condition of this place during
the past year. He spoke most dis
couragingly of the spiritual growth of
the church and its activity and expressed
as his opinion IL one~half the zeal had
been manifested for the church which
has been seen during the year in worldly
pleasure, this church would rank among
the first in growth and strength and
work. Although this is the week of
prayer throughout the Congregational
churches of the land, two dancing
parties in this vicinity will probably re-
ceive the patronage of the majority of
the membership of this church. Can q
church prosper while go much attention
is paid to other matters which can be

and growth of true religion? There Is
said to be a time for all things, We have
heard of a prayer meeting in one room
and dance room night after night in
the same building, but in New Preston
we have observed where both are striv-
ing one loses strength and fervor and at
tendance while the other thrives and be-
comes more popular. "No man can
serve two masters" and while there
is, we believe, place and time
for jollity and the dance, the
man or woman who makes that their
ruling passion, almost their God, has in
so many instances found their end most
sfactory-penniless and disreputa-
BILE. There is time to dance. Yes,
but New Preston seems all dance. Dance
for what? Dance on account OF what ?
Why, dance, that is all. Dance while
your neighber lies corpse awaiting
burial. Dance while the spark of life in
neighbours house GIBBS low and anxious
hearts are beating in fear of Deaths APP

just dance that is all. You can then
fling off care and responsibility for few
hours. Don't never think OF. the morrow
till it comes. Fling it all off. You have
lived till now someway. All will come
right in due time, someway. Don't try
to think seriously one bit more than
you are obliged to. Just keep on
dancing always, at all times, during all
seasons, keep up the dance. The drunk
ard reasons thus and all he does ID to
make his life short, his friends few, and
his family all they would have been
without him, except his example as a
sort of inheritance to their posterity.

the following editorial
THE FORGERS OF NEWS.
1.-THE entire mass of war news print
ed this morning by the Associated
Press newspapers is falsehood.
THE statement attributed to the
Spanish Admiral explaining his motive
for leaving Santiago harbor is a news
forgery. 1t is an impudent and a shame
less lie.
1.-THE whole United States is today
flooded with the lies of the Associated
Press, lies concocted by the swindlers
and forgers who control, manipulate
and counterfeit the days intelligence
tor the united newspapers of the
country.
THE news of our war, the news
which thrills every fibre of our national
life, the news which is part of our

and poisoned in this, the greatest
crisis in our history.

SOCIALISM IS COMING.

The frequent disclosures of corrupt
practices in supplying our army and
navy has caused congress and the
people to demand other and better
methods, and thus are the people
brought to contemplate the advisa-
bility of state action. In no other
way can they see how to protect our
defenders. The reported action OF
railways in refusing o. failing to
transport supplies with the requisite
promptness has prepared the minds
OF people for the government owner
ship and control of railways.
Discomfort with the corrupt prac-
tees of contractors and venal Off
Gals has turned the people to 4 con-
temptation of the principles and
practices of socialism, and this tend
ency must gather strength and mo-
mentum with every new exposure.
Hence we should spare no means to
get the truth respecting favoriteism
shown to men with a pull, and then
make this infol nation known.
The enemies of socialism will furn-
ish the most potent arguments for its
early adoption.
Give them rope and make public
their practices and soon the demands
for state ownership of all public uti Ii
ties will be irresistible.

COOPERATIVE INSURANCE.

We now have over 5000 worth of
property liable to destruction by fire.
Such loss would seriously cripple our
work. In a few weeks we will have a
system of waterworks aifording much
protection. AT present we have no
protection at all. Hence we call on
each of our more than 1900 members
to subscribe for as many of the 81 shares
of insurance fund as he can pay on
short notice. No money is to be paid
in; but in case of fire each will be called
on in proportion to the amount of his
subscription, Send in your letters at
once, stating how much you will take.
We don't want to pay extortionate
rates to the old-line companies. and so
ask our own members to carry this risk
on their own future homes. There will
thus be no expense at all. except in case
of loss and then merely enough money
