The lecture in the Univcrsalist
church Thursday cvcring by Rev.
Etfie X. Jones of Barre was, with
out doubt, one OF the finest lectures
given in Woodstock for many Years.
There was good audience; but by
no means such an audience as in an
intelligent community like Wood
stock should have greeted speaker
of the character, culture, cloquence
and power of Mrs. Jones. Those
who stayed away were unjust to
themselves and, without knowing it,
incurred loss they could i'll afford
to suffer. The topic, "!Shoot Folly
as it Flies" was treated in master
ly manner and with Il we'll sustained
interest from the beginning to the
end. 1t was Il noble plea for gen
uinc, intelligent, God-rooted opti-
mism in faith and work. What
ever ought to he can be. Whatever
is right can be done. in spite of
majoritieS standing for the wrong.
The world has outgrown many fol-
lies. What we need is faith that
present follies are not tinalities; that
a better future Is waiting for our
race-a faith that shall make sure
our aim and nerve our arm to shoot
the follics which are now on the
wing. We hope that this lecture
may have a wide hearing throughout
the state and country. Our people
need to learn the lesson of faith it SO
SO strongly enrorces as an antidote
to the deadly poison of pessimisn
which many fear is growing in on,
time. 1t cannot fail to do good, to
act as a genuine tonic wherever it j,
heard and its teaching taken tc
heart. Mrs. Jones may be assured
of Il warm welcome, whenever she
NAV chance to come to Woodstock
