Political Ostracism.

In relation 10 the candidates for the
next gahenatorial term there seems TO
be a disposition on the part OF some Por-
ton of the state press aud others to o.
tracise . certain class of men. liecause
a man happens to I've born in Vermont
aud is poor that alone doesn't entitle him
To the office of governor of the state; IT
simply entities him to he considered as
a candidate for that high office; gives
him a right to run for the office; his
friends right to solicit support. On
the other hand to say that because a
man is rich. or even that he has interests
outside the state. he shall for those rea-
sons be unworthy of consideration for
the chief magistracy of the state, is
higotry aud narrowneSs of mind i'll be-
coming the intelligence and broadmind-
edness of the people of this state. To
say of man who has done much for the
state and who by reason of his educa
tional qualifications, his training aud
mannerly make up is manifestly bes
fitted to conduct the affairs of the stat,
in respect to its economic concerns, anC
would present it to the world by his ad
ministration most advantageously to it
dignity and honor, that he ought not t.
be considered for the office, because it be
longed to some poor man who was NOR
intimately connected with the interest
of the state, would not only be false i
its assumption but foolish in its applies
ton. Men for office have never been col
sidered to be measured by gold stanC
ard. The rich are entitled to as niue
consideration as the poor or else the fun
damental principles of our governmel
are all lies. All men are equal, and pc
iticians and the press it seems to us al
more honest when they treat them
then when they treat either class as NJ
entitled to consideration. because of Il
class to which they belong. The Peep
should select the man whom they thin
will make the best governor whether
is rich or poor.

Just twenty-five years ago today, in
the Congregational Church, n company
of people met and organized the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in Island Pond,
Arriving as we now do at the compile
ton of quarter of a century OF existence
as Church, it is fitting that we take
a backward look and see the course by
which we have come. To some of you
the facts that | shall here give will not
be new. You have helped to make this
history, and you know far more about it
than / can possibly tell you. But some
times review of the past is profitable
even when nothing new is brought to
light. If we can only see more clearly
Gods dealing with us in the past; if we
can recognize more fully that it is by
His mercy and through His favor that
we have been brought thus far, it may
help us to put our trust the more com
pletely in Him. But most of us are
personally familiar with only the more
recent years of this period. 1t may not
be Improbable to us to understand
more fully the history of our Church.
Possibly such knowledge may tend to
produce in us greater loyalty and more
devoted and faithful service, not simply
to the Church, but to our Lord and
Master, for Whom and by Whom the
Church exists. 1t would be impossible
in the brief time at my disposal to so
into all the interesting details of the
record of these years, even if my famili-
arity with them would warrant me in
undertaking such thing, which is not
the case. But have tried to gather the
more important facts and have sought
to be accurate in all the statements here
given.
Methodism came into existence in
Island Pond under circumstances little
out OF the ordinary. Up to 1875 three
Churches had been established in the
town. Two of these, the Roman Catho
lie and the Congregational, had been il
existence for many years. The Episco
pal Church had been formed only a few
years before this date. The Methods
Church was little known in the place
Occasionally some Methodist preacher
had held services in the town. Indeed
the first minister to locate in Brighton
and hold Protestant services was
Methodist, "Father" Pattee. But nj
effort had been made to organize ,
Church. At about the time above men
toned, 1875, the town was passing
through one Of those periods sometime
experienced in community or even il
whole nation, when the religious if
is at low ebb. 1t was from such con
ditions as these that Methodism had it
origin in England in the 18th century
1t was with the hope of relieving thi
J local religious apathy that the Methods
Church was invited to enter the town o

Shall We Read Novels =?

In the make up of all things there are
contributions of good and bad, of the
desirable and the undesirable, which by
either design, or accidents full of design
serve for the happiness or misery OF
mankind. Nothing seems to have been
made in vain. We cannot always see
the purpose of the creation OF some
things, but such want of sight is very
apt to be attributable to human blind
ness rather than to the absence of wis
dom in creation. And so in reading, as
in all things else, there is the good and
the bad, and in order that information
be communicated to such variety of
mind as the worlds mind is composed of
it is necessary that variety of literature
be made available. AS it is necessary
to stir up and awaken the soil for the
reception of seed and to be smoothed, so
it is equally necessary to stir and wake
up the mind for the reception of the
contents of any book. Some persons
have such mental organisms that they
can wade through dry details and refresh
and enliven the mind by them while on
the mind of one more imaginative they
would make no impression. Through a
novel as mental sugar coated pill
healthy, strengthening facts and philoso-
ply may be conveyed to the mind. The
vivid Imagination that surrounds De-
Aubigne's History of the Reformation
keeps Luther and his times within sight
Novels act on the physical momentum
of a country and an age even. Notice
the great impulse that Uncle Toms
Cabin impaired to the great events that
gave this country leisure after a great
struggle and busy time to strike out
into the worlds civilization and inaug-
urate movement that will lead to GoD
knows where. But we are talking now
simply about the potency Of novels
In our country there is probably as
great a variety of mentality as in any
country and yet every scholar is taught
by the same process, the same machin-
cry. One young student will sit down
lo,l~ o,,J xrnvl- IA pt1 thro,oc VA
educational processes while five Others
cannot. Another will take grammar for
instance and learn it mechanically and
to advantage, while another with prac.
teal trend taken into the field and with
man for the subject at work for a
predicate and laziness for modifyel
will learn more grammar in a half-houl
than he otherwise would in halliday
But the matter of fact ones, the imagin
tive and all other kinds of minds are al
huddled together and put through the
same machinery. The tyranny and alb
solutism of education can never be rem
edied by legislation. But some Ameri
can Dickens might suggest and perhaps
accomplish a remedy, for novels in Eng
land did more to reform educationa
abuses as we'll as poor prisons, the law
delays, and several other evils than
century of legislation could. If on'
