Funeral of rlrs. Pickells.

The funeral services of Mrs. Charles
Pickells were held at St Andrews church
Thursday afternoon, Rev. Loren 6. Web
ster of Holderness, N. H., officiating.
The beautiful floral offerings were touching
expressions ofthe love and esteem inspired
in all hearts during her brief residence
here.
In accordance with DR.. Pickells' re-
quest the flowers with the Easter lilies,
sent by their former parishoners in New
York, adorned the church at Easter. the
day of all the year most loved by Mrs.
Pickells. The example of her rare spirit
with its high ideals is blessed memory
to those who, for many weeks, were
previleded with her daily companion.
ship. Deep indeed is the mystery that
the parish and community should be de.
prived of her uplifting influence and aid
in the work she so dearly loved and
for which she was so beautifully fitted.
When Heaven bids come, who can saw no
Heaven calls her-and she must away!"

The Closing Lecture.

The seasons lecture course closed on
Thursday evening with the postponed
lecture of Rev. Russell H. Conwell. As
had been announced the subject of the
lecture was changed from ANITA the
Feminine Torch" to Lessons of Travel"
The lecture might better be termed talk
on the speakers experiences while travel
ling. Mr. Conwell is a master of the art
of story telling and the stories which he
used as illustrations were greatly enjoyed
by the audience. The principal part of
his lecture was devoted to incidents of
a trip around the world which Mr.. Con-
well made several years ago while on the
staff of the New York Tribune.
This winters course has been in some
ways the most successful ins several
years. 1t has been the highest price
course since Stanley lectured here, and
the attendance has been the largest
since that one and the committee are to
be congratulated on their success in
maintaining a more expensive series of
entertainments, and still keep the ex-
penses below the receipts The total cost
of the course was 81 ,462 and the receipts
81 SIG 25 leaving a balance of $54.25
which goes to the lecture fund.
The most popular entertainment,
Judging from the sale of seats was as
usual Mr.. Conwell's lecture and the large
audiences which continue to greet him
prove his great popularity among St.
Johnsbury people.
