the South, kindergartens nurseries seaside
resorts for the poor, and hospitals. In

THE ARMORY BUILDING
Ordinance Changed So It Can Be Moved
to South Side OF Main Street.

A special meeting of the board Of alder
mon was held Tuesday. the principal busi-
ness being an application from Il. f. Da-
Wis and ]. ]. Whalen for license to move
the armory building from the city market
lot to land on the south side of Main street.
1t was found that before such a license
could be granted a city ordinance would
have to be changed and action necessary
to permit the building to be moved was
taken.
The conflicting ordinance was that desig-
mating the lines bounding the inner fire
district. When the lines were laid north from
King street they extended to a point ten
rods south of Main street and thence to
the centre of Winooski avenue extended
southerly.
The reason for making the line in that
location was brought up last night and
II. S. Peck and Robert Roberts, who were
on the committee which mapped out the
inner fire district, were asked why 1t was
done. They replied that II was thought that
the land east of the postoffice building
might be used for business purposes some
time and that in such a case it would be
desirable to have the buildings conform
with the rules of the inner fire district.
A resolution was then drawn which
changed the ordinance so that the line of
the inner district includes the government
land only. This resolution, under a sus-
pension of rules, was read three times and
Resolved. That section of chapter III
of the revised city ordinances be amended
so that lines Of said section shall read as
follows: The east line of the United
States property: then running northerly in
said last mentioned line to the centre of
Main street; thence easterly in the centre
line of Main street to it's intersection with
the centre line of South Winooski avenue;
thence northerly to the intersecting of the
center lines Of South Winooski avenue
and Pearl street.
The following licenses were granted with
the usual restrictions: Jerry Bourette,
house on Ferguson avenue; William Nj.
Tully, house on East avenue; Rufus Per-
kins. tenement block on Pearl street: r.
+" Perkins, addition to barn on North
Prospect street; Eli Stone addition to
N"NS' on North Bend street; Edward n.
Moran, for hack; Ready Hack CO.. for
mack; Max Gross, for selling handker-
chiefs; NJ, Collins & Co, for express
wagons; Consolidated Electric Co., for
line of poles on Prospect and Bright
streets; j. III. Brooks for billiard room.
a number of small bills were ordered
paid, after which an adjournment was
taken.

They hope and are striving to draw in the
middle-aged woman who thinks that her
days of usefulness are passed and to edu-
cate the young and ambitious for future
leaders in the great work. The object Is
not so much a large society as tho in
crease of spiritual vitality and the develop
ment of spiritual life.
The work is the work of Christ and he
permits us to help him In 1t the same as
in the case Of those who brought in the
man stricken with the palsy, those who
passed the bread to the five thousand and
those who filed the vessels with water at
the marriage feast In this way Christ per-
mits us to share in his work and thus
draws humanity nearer to him and he will
allow his servants to share his joy by and
by; so the hardest day Is the first day and
the day in which one learns the most. In
the severest task one is never alone but
in cooperation with the Almighty and He
Is at the centre of the heart and is the
author of every good deed
At the close Of Mrs. Dickenson's talk
Mrs. Howes rendered a selection, after
which Miss Kate Bond the vice-prcsident
of the international order, gave a brief but
very interesting address,
Miss Bond said that while God works
through us he does not make machines of
us but expects each one to use his own
energy in bringing about His will. Those
who are well instructed in the gospel truths
are responsible for all other souls This
rider stands befoi e the church and the reo-
pie with but one object in view to do the
will of their King. The society has MOTH
ing to do with theology or ceremony but
only to teach Christ who is the same to-
day. yesterday and forever While indi-
vidual effort Is good the aim of the order
can only be reached by united action and
hearty cooperation. Miss Bond spoke OF
their publication the Silver Cross as most
important help toward the best work as il
helps different circles in touch with each
other and promotes united action.
The evening service closed with a brief
prayer by Mrs. Dickinson, after which a
reception was rendered to the State dele
gates in the church parlors.

While we ponder in our heart
Gentle deeds of sweet compassion,

Bids us lift a comrade up;
