CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

Rev. Thomas Smms preached on Sun
day morning from the words found in
Deut. u, Hip: "Then there shall be a
place which the Lord your God shall
choose to cause his name to dwell there |;
thither shall We bring all that | com
mand you; your burnt offerings and
your sacrifices, your tithes and the heave
offerings of your hand, and all your
Lord: And we shall rejoice before the
Lord your God, ye and your sons, and
your daughters, and your men servants
and your maid servants and the Levite
that is within your gates: forasmuch as
he hath no part nor inheritance with
you"
This statement was made after the
Lord had commanded Moses and the
children of Israel to "destroy all the
places wherein the nations which We
shall possess served their gods "to
overthrow their affairs, and break their
pillars, and burn their groves with fire /;
and we shall hew down the craven i'm
ages of their gods, and destroy the
names of them out of that place" A
further command was that the children
of Israel were not to inquire after the
idols they had destroyed, or how they
had been wOrshipped. The intention of
the Divine writer seemed to be to remove
from them every temptation to fall into
the habits of the idOlatrous nations.
The lesson of the discourse was that
the convert to Christianity should turn
his back upon all former attractions
and stumbling blocks and not have IA
miliarity with anything that would tend
to attract him from his new life and pur-
poses.
In the evening the pastor spoke upon
"Amusements," calling attention to the
fact that Christianity, instead of being
hostile to reasonable and wholesome
pleasures encouraged the same.
He pointed out very clearly that the
great danger to we'll disposed young peO-
pie lies not In their wantOnly engaging
IN wicked amusements but in the eXces-
sive use and abuse of innocent pastimes
He raised the question regarding the
late hours of dances and concluded by
advising Christians to be joyous and hap
Ply, thus rightly representing Christian
ity.
Next Sunday morning will be observed
as Communion with sermon by the
pastor and reception of members into the
Church.
In the evening the pastor will speak
upon 1.-The Reading Habit" being the
last in the series upon "Helps and Hind
RANGES to Manly Living"

these things are sources of strength, and
it is right to rely upon them, but they
are only a part of the ground for our

basis of national confidence.
Ancient Rome and Greece were not
stable governments, the former existing
now only in her laws, the latter in her
literature. France and Spain are fading
away, for the same reason as did Greece
and Rome, because they have not been
faithful to God. A nations laws must

1t is said that no people are so self

is not sufficient. TO trust in our reputa-

The following ruling made during
September by DR., Austin Peters, chief
of the Massachusetts cattle bureau, is of
especial interest to Vermont farmers,
and more so to the members of the Gen
eral Assembly who are wrestling with
the question of tuberculosis
After September 30, 1902, all cattle
brought to the quarantine stations at
Brighton. Watertown and Somerville,
from outside the limits of this common
wealth. except beeves for immediate
slaughter, or calves under six months
old. will be held and tested with tuber-
culine by the agent in charge of the
stations at the stock barn at Brighton.
Animals believed to be diseased after
being tested, will be killed, unless the
owner wishes to ship them back to the
place from whence they came. If it
seems necessary to test any cattle
brought to these stations, supposed to be
Massachusetts cattle, in order TO deter
mine whether they are free from disease
or not, the agent of the cattle bureau in
charge of the yards will do so.

The fifth week of the session started
in Monday with the committees hard at
work and the work of the legislature
well in hand. The big bills are being
carefully considered by the committees.
The sessions of the two houses are short,
but long enough to clear the desks of all
bills reported from the committees, and
to permit the introduction of new bills.
Little of an important nature was done,
either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday,
outside of the committee rooms. A few
bills to incorporate some company, legal
ize the grand list Of some town, ETC.,
ETC., were passed, and many useless bills
were reported and killed. The fewer
new laws the better is always safe
rule, and this legislature is following 1t.
