Don't Interfere with Firemen.

EDITOR REGISTER: VIII you kindly
allow me space to call the attention of
the public to the fact that people outside
of the fire department have no right
whatever to interfere with the work Of
the department at fires? BY the village
charter, amendments and bylaws the
whole control of fires in this fire district
rests in the chief engineer, and the fire.
men must work under his directions and
those of his assistant alone. If the chief
desires the assistance of outsiders. then
it is his duty to call upon them; but I'M
til he does that it is their duty to keep
out of the way of the firemen and leave
everything about the fire entirely alone
Any suggestions made to the chief dur
ing fire as to how to manage it, etc.,
would be gratefully received, but it
should be understood without further
words that at the time of fire the
authority of the chief engineer Is
supreme, and no other officer nor any
citizen has any right whatever to interfere
and attempt to run things.
These reflections are called out by
some things that occurred during the Sum-
ner meat market fire last Monday. 1t is
hoped that II will not be necessary to
call attention to the natter again.
FRANK X. STONE, Chief, .
Middlebury Fire Department.

A small but dillieult-to get-at fire took
place last Monday afternoon i'm the rend-
ing room of the Sumner meat market on
Main street. The block is owned by F.
G.. Dyer of West Salisbury and the
second floor is occupied by the Lake
Dunmore Lodge |. o. O. f, The dense
black smoke of the iullimmable material
on which the fire fed made it impossible
for the firemen to remain in the basement
any length of time, so they played
through the windows and stairway and
flooded the place. This was elective in
subduing the blaze. Much of the con-
tents of the building was removed, in
Guiding the lrlphernaia of the lodge
on the second nDor. The damage was
largely the result of water and smoke
and amounted to several hundred dollars.
which has since been adjusted by the in
surance companies. Considerable con-
fusion was occasioned by the interference
with firemen of well-meaning bystand
ers, who As usual knew more about the
business than the tiremen themselves.

See if your life is as good and up

you are as much of a christian away

Religious Thoughts,
The Teacher

II the American schools must edu-
cate the preachers and teachers and
statesmen and great writers, BY whom
the world wide transformations are
to be wrought, ought not the teacher
to have high ideal of manhood and
womanhood? Ought not the pa
irons OF our great public school sys-
TEN take an inventory OF the moral,
as we'll as the intellectual qualihca-
tons, OF those who are to direct the
hand and the heart Of the youth?
As it is a moral impossibilily for a
teacher not to impress himself upon
the child, there is something more
to consider than the mere imparta-
ton of intellectual knowledge.
knowledge apart from moral educa-
ton is much more dangerous than
ignorance, because it puts a man in
the way Of knowing how to De dis.

with an uneducated conscience, is
almost certain to mean shrewdness

ly disciplined, apt to teach; a d.

Mans Duty.

Power is the measure Of obliga-
ton. Infants, imbeciles and brutes
are not under obligation TO God,
tho He is as truly their creator as he
is ours. Religion is not binding on
them, as they have not the power Of
worship. Our faculties are adequate
to- the divine will respecting US.
Mans norm is worship. IT'S this
for which he is made.
The sun is no more nicely ad,
juSted to lighting the planets the
rolling atmosphere to the purpose Of
life than are the powers of the soul
adjusted to the work of worship.
The sacred functions Of religion are
to reverence greatness, to love ex-
cellence, and to praise goodness.
Then man is under obligation; that
obligation is first to God, who says,
"SOn give Me thy heart"
A response to this command leads
to true discipleship, which implies
true liberty. Discipleship in which
the whole heart is not in it is but the
devils snare. No true christian goes
to his duty because he must, but be-
cause his heart is in it. Because
men do not recognize Gods claim
on them, they are no less duty bound
to love and obey Him. Man is bound
to be and do right on the religious
scale Of rectitude, not because he is
christian, but because he is a man.
Religious obligations took hold oil
Us when we were born. They wait.
ed for US as the air did. They have
their sources back of volition, so a
man may declare himself an atheist,
but this does in no way alter his OBJ.
legations.
Right and wrong do not spring
from the nature of the church. OBJ
legation lies deeper than that. The
church is intended to help man full
fill his duties; it is not the source
from whence those duties spring.
The wording is as much duty bound
to love God and obey His laws as a
christian. Therefore, Gods re-
quirements come alike upon all men,
and each man must give the account
OF his measure Of obligation to the
Son, to whom Father hath commit
ted all things.

As the chain that Washington,
placed across the Hudson was only
as strong as the weakest link, so the
value Of work We do is measured by
its weakest part. The 'trihes of life.
make up the sum Of its total value.
Many forget the power that lies in
little things that are all aroundi

little habits, little savings, smalh
faults, little kindness, little helps.
little leaks in the dyke. What a.
world of influence for good or evil
lie in these and a thousand other
little things.
When you rose from your bed this
morning did you expell that grudge-
that you have been cherishing against.

Forgive me as l forgive my debtors. ~
The golden rule-"Whatsoever We
would that men should do unto you
do ye even so TO them"-has been
committed to heart; but what it
needs is committal to life.
Pure streams issue from pure
springs. No parents with a polluted
Imagination and enervated moral
sense can train up children in ex-
cellence OF character.
We shrink from adversely as the
flower shrinks from the storm, but
until one has met and overcome he
is stranger to his God and him
self.
Without the Divine Spirit men
may be reasoned into life of NOR
atty, but they can never enjoy the
lie Of God without Him.
Sentimental literature, whether
impure in its subject matter or not,
has direct tendency in the direction
Of impurity.
To one seeking truth, one hour
with God is worth more than the
compiled encyclopedia knowledge
of earth.
A thief is the man who uses, in
order to keep up appearances, that
which does not justly belong to him.
A heavier curse can hardly hang
upon young man than that Of pos
sesslng polluted Imagination.
A purified soul involves a purified
body. Sauctifed spirit, soul and
body.-Paul.
There is no saloon or joint on the
road that leads to happiness and
prosperity.
The church overcomes by the
word Of her testimony and personal
work.

The opening Of the Santa Fe line
into San Francisco will mean another
daily overland train from Chicago to
the coast. The idea has been advan.
ced to make the new train a limited
train and do away with the tri.weekly
limited service altogether. However,
it is probable that because of the
large amount o. express that will be
carried the new train will be similar
to the present overland train, and
will run out Of Chicago ab9ut12 hours
earlier or later than No. l. With
this arrangement the limited train
service Of the past several years will
