markedly magnetic speaker, and is always
one of the most attractive features of tho

an immense amount of labor for the cause
of Christian Endeavor Being Of a pre-

side of Christian Endeavor work has very
strongly appealed to him, and this spirit

in all the Christian Endeavor conventions

To him he owes allegiance, obedience,

An Appeal for Porto Rico.

The CALIFORNIAN has received the
following, which speaks for itself, and
which we commend to the serious con-
sideration of the public:
The Secretary of War again appeals to
the people of the country for money or
supplies to feed the great number, OF
destitute people in Porto Rico, and ne
expresses the hope that the efforts OF the
people of this state to that end will not
be relaxed.
l, therefore, again urge upon the daily
and also the weekly newspapers OF this
state to bring the matter before their
subscribers in as forcible manner as
possible, and solicit additional sub
scriptions for the charitable end in view.
1t will be impossible to raise any con-
siderable amount of money unless the
papers are willing to take hold OF the
matter vigorously, and keep it before the
public. May | ask you to do this! Any
money that is collected may be sent to
me direct, or forwarded to the National
Bank of North America, N. Y, for the
Porto Rico Relief Fund for credit to the
state of Vermont.
Very truly yours,
Z. c. SMITH, Governor.

informal and very pleasant occasion.
Editor Stone of the CALIFORNIAN left
last Wednesday morning, on his four
weeks trip abroad. He expects to see
lots of water and fair amount OF dry
land before he returns. 1t is barely pos
sible that two other young men OF st.
Johnsbury will start on a flying trip

six years done very efficient service be-
hind the counter at F. o. Clarks book

The Bible as Literature.

Miss Helen M. Cole of Boston,
teacher in public speaking and Bible
reading, will give lecture upon THE
Bible as Literature with Intepretative
readings" in Athenaeum Hall on Tues
day evening, Oct. 3rd.
The readings consist of typical selec-
tions from the Old and New Testaments,
each preceded by the historical setting
and mention of the literary form. Miss
Cole took courses in English Literature
and Art History at the University oil
Edinburgh, in Biblical Literature and
Hebrew at the University Of Chicago
and is a graduate of the school of expires
sion, Boston.
Besides giving readings and lectures
Miss Cole also instructs clergymen in thu
training of the voice for public speaking
in Bible and hymn reading, and conducts
classes in the literary study of the Bible
Miss Cole is master of expression,
declares one. "Hcr rendering of the in
terwoven gospel brings out the old, oil
story as many even among long-tim
students of the Bible have never conceiv
ed possible. Rebuke, pity, appeal, a:
surance, love, sympathy, encouragement
and all the matchless qualities OF tn

LIP. Thayer has completed his engag-

Guardsmen Interested.

The members of the National Guard
are naturally much interested in the talk
about sending them to Washington to
help do honor to Dewey. The position
offered them there-at the right OF the
line-is a tempting one, and they are
quite willing, as Vermonters, to make
some financial sacrifices personally to
participate in this memorable occasion
Gov. Smith is looking into the matter
carefully, and it is possible that the
First Regiment will go on to the capita
city and add to the emphasis of the gal
liant Admiral's welcome.

The Lecture Course.

The abandonment of the st. Johnsbury
lecture course, which has gained so
deserved a reputation throughout the
country, and which has afforded the
people OF this entire section so many rich
literary, musical and scientific treats,
would be misfortune indeed; and the
CALIFORNIAN is glad to announce that
such step, though seriously talked OF
during the past weeks, is not likely to be
taken this season.
company OF thirty men, who believe
that good lecture course is OF value to
this or any other community, have taken
hold of the matter and will back the
regular committee in its effort to provide:
first class course for this fall and
winter. Mr.. Horton and his associates
can now go ahead with their arrange
ments, and they should be given such an
endorsement by way of public patronage
as will make them think of years gone
by when audiences were large and
receipts gratifying, and make certain the
fact that st. Johnsbury is not ready yet
to give up its regularly constituted
| lecture course.
