Rev. ]. NJ. Dutton of Newport spoke at
the Congregational church yesterday in
exchange with the pastor, Rev. r. L.
| Sheaff. His sermon in the morning
was an excellent one. In the evening he
delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the academy; the
service was a union one and the house was
crowded He took for text GA rman's
life CONSISTENT not in the abundance Of the
things which he possesseth." The sermon
was a very practical one and was filled
with good illustrations of the different
points brought out. He showed that
man is what he makes himself, and the
| young people are now prepared to make
much of themselves if they will. The dis
course was of great benefit to all present
The base ball team went to ST. Johns
| bury last Tuesday and played the Acade-
| my team there, being beaten by score of
| 1915. The boys played very good team,
| but bad errors at critical times allowed
the large score for the opposing team. At
six to five in favor of the academy team,
but errors on the part of the Barton team
allowed their opponents three scores in
| following inning. The boys have the ma
terial for good team but they must have
| the practice which will bring them into
shape and make them play together. If
| they are to play in the league of course
| they must be at the front, and it will take
steady hard work to bring them there.
The boys expect to play the st. Johnbury
team here "a little later and they should
win on their home grounds.
