he is manly man. In those days it was
the custom to 60 to church Sundays and
listen to two long sermons in day with
only an hour between them. Social life
is now highly organized. That sort
living exhausts vitality and it takes a
tremendous power to attract people out
Sundays when there are SO many bright
and interesting magazines. A man who
is lazy never succeeds in anything. A
minister can not be lazy man; he can
not hold his congregationif he is. There
is no rest in the ministry.
The compensations of the ministry:
The minister is accorded position given
to no one else in the community. The hon.
orable position given him, he will soon
lose if he so conducts himself that he fails
to deserve it. He forms many rare friend.

great satisfaction in the character OF
his work, Tor he may so live as to be
fountain of helpfulness and constant

in the thought that he is one OF that vast

He should dwell upon the bright side of
life, but he should have the experiences OF
other men. as Christ did, to be brought
into tender sympathy with them.
The life Of the minister is a delightful

never to think of taking the pleasures Of
a minister's life if he is not willing to
work hard. Don't pity the minister

The Viaduct Hearing.

The proposed hearing with the board
Of railroad commissioners in regard to
the Portland street viaduct, which was
advertised for last Friday afternoon, was
postponed to Monday afternoon next.
The cause of the postponement was the
receipt of letter from Lawyer Slack,
the town agent, to Chairman Foster.
The latter received letter from Mr..
Slack Wednesday of last week, stating
that the town authorities did not know
until day or two before that any such
petition had been laid before the board !;
that the change asked for by the petition
would involve an expenditure OF $50, 900
to SIS 700; that the town wished to be
heard before any portion of that sum
was laid upon the taxpayers, and that
he had not had sufficient time since hear.
ing of the proposed meeting to prepare
for it.
The railroad commissioners decided to
give the town authorities further time to
investigate the matter as they felt that
in case the board should recommend the
overpass some portion OF the expense
would be placed upon the town and every
Taxpayer was entitled to be heard upon
.he question Of necessity or advisability
oSthe overpass.

RECENT DEATHS.
Wilder.

Arthur Wilder passed away last Satur-
day morning, after long, painful illness.
He has been in i'll health for some time,
but bore it all uncomplainingly and
scarcely any one outside his family sus-
pected that he was not well until eight
weeks ago he was forced to take his bed.
After all hope of his recovery had passed
with the physician he showed no signs
of encouragement himself and not until
last Thursday did he give up the fight.
Mr.. Wilder was born in Littleton, N.
b., so years ago; his ancestry was of the
best. His mother was Joannah Carlton,
cousin of Charles Carlton Coffin, the
author. His father, William Wilder, was
prominent business man, who for Quite
a number of years was associated with
George Ely in the manufacture OF forks,
hoes, axes, etc.
In 1870, Joel Fletcher sold his hard
ware business to William Wilder, who
conducted it at the south end of Railroad
street. In 1874 his son, Arthur, entered
the store and in June, 1878, became a
joint partner with his father. the firm
name being William Wilder & Son. In
February, 1885, William Wilder died
and the business continued under the
same name, with Arthur Wilder as man.
ager. In November, 1885. the firm
moved into a new bnilding and put a
machine shop in the second floor. In
September, 1887. A. B. Noyes became a
partner in the firm, the name being
changed to Wilder, Noyes, & Co. Arthur
Wilder sold out his interest in the bust.
ness in few years, and since then he
was in Boston in business for year and

The Bright Side.

Rev. Thomas Tyrie delivered his fare
we'll address at Grace Methodist church
last Sunday evening to crowded house,
chairs being brought in to ell the aisles.
Nearly every church in town was repre-
sented. Before beginning the address,
Mr.. lyric expressed his satisfaction in
the large audiences that have attended
the 200 or so Sunday evening addresses
given during his five years pastotate in
st. Johnsbury, and of the appreciation
expressed to him of good results in his
efforts to help young men and young
women.
"The Bright Side of Minister'S Life"
was the topic. Mr.. Tyrie said: "There
are good many queer ideas about min
listers. There is a sort of mystery about
them; yet many people know better what
the minister ought to do than he does
himself. The minister occupies a differ
ent position in the community than he
did so or rs years ago, when the doctor,
lawyer, schoolmastcr and minister were
the only college educated people in a
town. He is not so conspicuous now.
He was then revered and respected for his

The Salvation Army.

That the Salvation Army means some
thing more than few harmless fanatics
attracting a few fellows of the baser
sort" is proved by the fact that is, 900
officers preaching to congregation of
nearly 100000 every week in $4,000
different meetings, raise a yearly income
oil many millions of dollars, and all this
in less than 35 years. The Divine Being
poured an unusual measure of his own
compassion Tor men into the hearts of
William and Catherine Booth and under
that urging they took hold of the OPP
portunty nearest to hand and the pres
ent remarkable movement is the result.
I.ieut.-Col. Margetts, who visits here
April 21, will tell OF some of the things
the army is doing in the world in genera al,
as he is one Of the Oldest and most ex-
perienced officers in the army.

The Stone Crushing Plant.

The trustees have leased some land on
the Ide extension next to the creamery
building for the purpose of establishing
there the stone crusher which is expected
to arrive in few days. Already quite a
pile OF loose stones have been drawn
ready to be ground up when the machine
arrives. At first it was thought best to
use chips from the ledges, but loose
stones are being drawn at a cheaper
rate and will be more desirable for street
purposes. Indeed, in other places in the
state the farmers draw in the winter
their stones which they have gathered
from the farms, and the village trustees
of st. Johnsbury expect to get next
winter big supply from this source.
Here is new industry for the farmers,
to fulfil the scriptural injunction to
gather up the stones" and sell them at
fair profit to the trustees.

Man of the people he.
Strong by integrity.
Whom now we praise.
He rose from low estate.
And sat among the great
Whose wisdom guides the state
Through all the days.
By gift of zeal at birth
He grew to larger worth
From year to year.
A gentle soul and kind,
Far purpose full defined.
He stored a studious mind
With toll severe.
BY all he held as truth,
In age mature ana youth,
He dared to stand.
Unschooled, and yet self taught,
He made his own his thought,
And for his faith he fought
With fearless hand.
When force had conquered fame,
His heart remained. the same,
Untouched by PRIDE,
When came the troubled years,
His strength allayed our feaf..
Beloved by all his peers. ~.
