EASTER DAY.

The day that is celebrated
throughout all Christendom as the
anniversary Of the miraculous event
that caused faith to be lost in sight
and christian hope in glad fruition.
A season that even natural man,
unpossessed of any of the sacred
suggestions of these times, turns
to with a glad sense of living and
notes with worshipful heart the res
direction of nature from the long
sleep of winter frosts, and halls with
joy and gladness the increasing
strength of the great sun as the
source of all life and light-of this
great world the eye and SOUL 1t is
not strange that far back in the ages
the primitive man should bow before
the sunbeams that penetrated the
darkness of his cave dwelling with all
the devotion and sincerity Of wor-
ship that has since filed the hearts OF
saints before some holy shrine. But
new song is on the lips and in the
hearts of men; new hope has bios
somed and the advent song, .sPeace
on Earth, Good Will Toward Men, .
and the sad note of sorrow, "They
have Taken Our Lore Away, is Civ
en- place to the triumphant anthem,
>. Christ is Risen" The glad refrain
follows the sun on his course around
the world, bringing comfort to the
christian heart, no matter how cas-
down; to the Respondent mourner i
whispers of blessed reunion, anC
to all humanity tells the story O
the conquest of death and redeemed
humanity. The thoughts for Iasfel
day are broader than sects or creeds
and is a time to think of the Infnit,
and mortality as beyond them all.

THE RIGHT LAW.

The most successful liquor law, what
eyer its name, is the law that is endorsed
and sustained by the largest possible
number of people. If, after local OPP
ton act is passed. it is accepted by the
voters in preference to prohibition, no
believer in our form of government can
maintain that some other system should
prevail, until such time as sentiment
changes and prohibition or different
system has popular support on its side.
Nor Will local option, it it comes, mean
an end of agitation and discussion. The
defects of that system will be revealed
in their true light. If they are as Sc
rious as we now believe them to be, it
will not be long ere local option will
have to bow to the supreme mandate and
make way for some other regulative
plan. Indeed, when the act itself is SUBJ
mitted, when is provisions are scanned
and its weak points laid bare, when
local option has to defend itself instead
of acting the aggressor, it may not find
the people so receptive as they have been
while prohibition has been under the
cudgel. But whatever the choice made,
it shall have our endorsement as the
system having the support of the public
behind 1t, and therefore the most salts.

But those somewhat numerous Yer
monters who are in favor of the law but
against its enforcement should note this
fact: That Rt. Rev. Bishop Halls in.
structions to his diocese are always that
the prohibitory law should be obeyed to
the letter as long as it remains on the
statute books. Work for its repeal,

Chance in State School.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. 5. Ingalls, of Hyde
Park succeeded Mr.. and Mrs. S. A.
Andrews as superintendent and matron
of the Vermont State Industrial school
at Nergennes Sept. l6. Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrews assumed control of the school
in February. 1889. During the time
they have been in charge of the institu-
ton 900 boys and girls have been under
their supervision and the school has
been brought to state of efficiency for
the purpose for which it was created
that will challenge a comparison with
any kindred Institution in this country.
Various changes have taken place during
their term of office, the most important
and beneficial ones being the modern re-
plumbing of the buildings, the install
ment of an entire steam plant the sub
stitution of electric lights for gasoline
gas and the introduction of the Sloyd
system of manual training. During
these years the agricultural department
has been enlarged by the addition of
about So acres of land and the farm
brought TO high state of cultivation by
the practical knowledge of Mr.. Andrews
and his capable assistants. In cOnnec-
ton with this department a choice herd
of Ayrshire cows have been bred.
The past spring cottage has been
built and equipped which accommodates
30 of the smaller boys that is conceded
by those who have had charge of large
bodies of juveniles is step in the right
direction, as this class of the inmates are
separated from the older and more
hardened members of the school and
better results morally can be obtained
among there younger wards of the state.
While residents of Nergennes Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrews by their affable and cour-
teous way and their upright and con-
sistent Christian lives have made hosts of
friends who will regret that their need
of rest and cares of a personal nature
necessitate return to their old home in
johnson, where they will go about the
LIST of October, they having consented to
remain at the Industrial school until
that time.
The successors of Mr.. and Mrs. An
drews are Mr.. and Mrs. f. l.. Ingalls, of
Hyde Park. Mr.. Ingalls, is native of
Berkshire, where he attended the COM
mon school ana afterWard the johnson
normal school, class of 80. From there
he attended Edmunds high school OF
Burlington, class of '92 and then entered
the University of Vermont, graduating
in the class of '96. For the past six
years he has been principal of Lamoille
Central academy, Hyde Park. He has
also for several years held the office OF
county examiner of teachers. Mrs
Ingalls, is a graduate of Derby academy
and attended Boston university, where
she did special work. For the past
three years she has been Mrs. Ingalls,
assistant in the academy at Hyde Park
