School. The Holy Scriptures should
be taught in the Sunday School with
a view to practical use for instruction
in righteousness. Use all helps to
a better understanding of the Holy
Scriptures. The above were few of
the thoughts expressed by this noted
speaker. The lack Of space will not
permit Of Justice being done to the
grand discourse which was listened to
throughout with close attention by
the audience.

The second day Of the 32nd annual
convention Of the State Sunday school
Association of Vermont dawned
bright and clear this morning and the
exercises were opened at $50 with the
singing of hymn in chorus. This
was followed by a devotional service
led by the Rev. L. o. Sherburne OF
Enosburgh Falls.
Some time was devoted to the read
ing Of reports and the transaction OF
minor business.
After the business hour Miss Bertha
f. Villa of Boston addressed the as.
sembly on the subject Of Early Relig-
ious Impressions, and the Rev. Archi-
bald S. MacGregor Of Newport spoke
on the subject Of Family Worship and
the Children.
The Rev. John Graham who was
to speak on the subject "Shall the
Sunday School Teach Christian Citi-
zenship?' was suddenly called away
and was therefor unable to take his
part in the exercises.
G. D. Meigs of indianapolis, asso-
ciate editor of international Evangel
was the next speaker and he occupied
the remainder Of the time during the
forenoon in a very interesting dis
course on The Door to The Scholars
Heart and How to Open IT," His re-
marks were largely of reminiscent
nature giving examples from his own
experiences Of help that has been and
can be given to those who are In spir-
itual need of aid.

BARRE BOYS ARRESTED.

The police department OF this city
received telephone dispatch this
morning from the police department
at Manchester, N. H., saying that
the officers there had arrested two
boys who gave their names as Byron
Smith and Otto Lewis Of Barre, VT.
1t appears that the officers there
have been shadowing these two boys
for sometime and claim to have caught
them disposing Of large quantity Of
watches and other things. They also
claim that the boys confessed to hav-
ing taken tine watches from Henry z.
Mills Of this city.
1t is thought that the boy who
gave his name as byron" Smith did
not tell the truth, as he is known
to be in New York city at present.
Patrick Brown went to Manchester
after the prisoners this noon.
