Crossing Siren at Finley Bridge.

Ifp in a Vermont town not very far this
side of Montpelier is a town school super
visor who never will again stop TO InYesti-
gate bugzing music at a railway crossing.
The man, who, fguratively speaking ran
up against the crossing and very torciDiy
found it was loaded, lives few miles
away from What is known as the FINLEY
bridge crossing Of the Central Vermont
railroad. There is a big cliff that Juts out
al this point close to the main branch OF
the White river and the track cuts short
curve around il. Most OF the time the
Iocomotiye whistles cannot be heard on
the other side of the big rock promontory
by people on the highway.
The school supervisor was taking load
OF bark to the village four miles away,
stirred by series of accidents, the railway
officials. unknown to the supervisor, had
installed an electric signal bell that rings
when trains get within certain range OF
a highway crossing. The supervisor heard
the ringing of the gong, but he had never
heard ANYTHING like il before, and he
maryelled both at its source and It's Cd
iect. He continued on until he was dl-
rectly upon the track, when an idea tound

as how he would see what the pesky thing

around the curve and smashed the wagon
into fragments, badly injured one Of the
horses and started the other on wild run
down the road.
The gentleman with the investigating
turn of mind recently has been reelected

but he never will again, no, never, desert

'.The beautiful tales about the things
that happened around the lake OF Gal
lice show that there was a spiritual
daybreak in that dark corner of Ju-
dea of which official Judaism had fail
ed to take sufficient cognizance."
Words and acts of sympathy and
comfy between churches and syna-
gogues are becoming common. A
Presbyterian minister, writing on the
subject, says: Il have often spoken
against the anti-Jewish spirit. We
are more indebted to them than to
any other race. Jesus said. Salvation
is of the Jews" A Christian pub
fishing house is bringing out at vast
expense Jewish encyclopedia, which
will not only have 4 great historic
value. but Will serve rs bond of mu-
tual respect between the Jew and the
Christian.
This entente cordiale between re-
ligious and social forces which have
heretofore been divided and more or
less antagonistic, is most timely. In
fact, it is fast becoming an absolute
necessity for the preservation of our
social fabric. The problems of life
have become so complex and the ad-
justment of the social order SO diff
cult under modern conditions that
there is but one hope for favorable
solution; namely, through combina-
tion of the best men and women. ir-
respective of race or creed, working
in sympathy and harmony for the up
lifting of mankind. Such combina-
ton or coalition is now in more or
less conscious process of formation.
And the basis of the alliance is {. rec
ognition of the golden rule as the
only basis of true civilization. This
is to be the rallying cry hereafter of
the advocates of liberty, equality,
and fraternity"

modern tendency to organization. Everybody else in

One great purpose OF the club is to bring the

from the usual life of the church; with many their
only knowledge OF the church is in the public
ship of the Sabbath that for years they feel and
acknowledge themselves strangers in their
church house. To counteract this it has been fa-

great deal better than nothing, but it had its lima-
