membership present.
The address OF the. evening, Three C.'s
for (. E. by Rev. E. NJ Fuller of Barre,
was one of the most powerful, practical
and inspiring ever given in the Caledonia
county union. The three points, cooper.
alton, concentration and conservation,
were presented in a forceful, ringing ap.
peal, The GOO eration" OF God and
man in the development OF the higher
possibilities in life and service; "concen-
tratiou,' the oneness of purpose, the
focusing of power and energy; "consecra-
ton" the making sacred the secular, not
secular the sacred. The companionsbip
of the divine power with human agency,
in attaining the higher development of
service, and the tarreaching influence of
the life in Christ, and for the church. The
closing service was deeply impressive, and
the spirit OF consecrated earn stness and
willingness, must have left its lasting i'm
press on the hearts of those privileged to
be present.
