skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized worlI.

CLOSING SESSIONS

At the afternoon session of the w.
@. L. U. convention held on Thursday
at Barre very interesting paper was
presented by Mrs. Richmond of
Mortified showing the terrible effects
of the liquor traffic in foreign lands
where missionaries have gone to car
ry the Gospel-not only undoing their
work but demorallzing the people
more even than their own heather
customs have done. The conscience
of Christian nations is being aroused
to feel their responsibility in this mat
ter. Reports were given, showing
much interest and good work done in
the following departments Flower
mission, mercy, prison and Jail, sun
day school, Loyal Legion. An excel
lent essay was read by Mr.. Oloues of
Montpelier on "The Value of an
Opinion. - 1.-The Dispensary System"
was discussed. Resolutions were
passed expressing a hope that the next
Legislature will restore the prohibit
tory law to the statute books as being
the best law yet known for the sup
preston of liquor drinking. a resolu-
ton OF thanks for and appreciation Of
the services of our retiring president,
Miss Bertha Chamberlain of Plain
field, and secretary, Mrs. Alice Rich
! ardson of Montpelier, was passed by
rising vote. Rev. A. N. Woodruff of
East Barre spoke of the increasing
sentiment for temperance in business
showing that liquor drinkers and
cigarette smokers are fast becoming
ineligible for employment in business.
The evening opened with such a
musical treat as is rarely served at
&c nj
by few hymns and the usual devo-
tional exercises. The vocal solo
which followed the recitation, Ode
Apple Tree, - was another treat
which all enjoyed. A poem was read
by the president of Barre Union,
which was written by Rev. Mr.. Sher-
burne of Barre. In this, thanks were
expressed to the State president for
all her self sacrificing work and it
was accompanied by testimonial in
the shape of 5000 in an envelope tied
with the white ribbon. During the
reading one of the ladies came to Mrs.
Reed and placed round her neck a
chain of cards tied together with the
same emblem of purity, each card be-
ing from the union contributing to
the fund to build Rest Cottage on
Mrs. Reeds lot at Spring Grove.
Mrs. Ret d was much touched, and in
her thanks she said there could be no
real rest while the trail of the serpent
was encouraged by law.
The lecture of the evening was de-
livered by Mrs. Richards of Ohio.
She gave a bit of courage by re-
porting what the Brewers Journal
said about Vermout's new law. The
paper takes the attitude that the
brewers have won by so small mar
gin that it amounts to very little for
their side. They will need to hire
their articles printed in vt. papers
and do all they can to counterfeit the
influence of the w. @. L. u, for
"those women never sleep till they
have done mischief to the trade.
She spoke Of the dispensary system as
only another attempt of good people
to regulate the evil. She had herself
studied and consulted with people in
South Carolina where for eight years
it has been tried. and had become
convinced that it is more repugnant
than license. She gave also the testi-
mony of prominent educators and
others.

tive and interesting address was de-

BOYCE PRIZE DEBATE

The Boyce Prize Debate took place
in the Seminary chapel ON Friday
evening beginning at eight O'Clock.
A small audience was present owing
to other attractions in the city.
The meeting was called to order by
Principal W. R. Davenport and the
question, Resolved, ''That trusts are
detrimental to the best Interests of
the American people, " was discussed
by the following speakers: Harry M.
Bruce, Leon j. Morse and Albion j.
Mower, representatives from the
Band society, on the affirmative side,
of the question and Jesse M. Teb-
bets, Charles A. Wing and Melvin r.
Fox, from the Adelphi society, on the
negative side. The judges were Judge
Hiram Carleton, Superintendent Wal
ter e. Ranger and Hon. William A.
Lord. 1t was announced at the end
of the debate that the judges decision
would not be made public until COM
mencement day, when the two prizes,
$50 for the first and $40 for the sec
ond would be awarded.
Although various representatives
were chosen from the two societies to
compete in the debate it was not
team, but an individual debate, thus
each one was allowed a five minute
rebuttal. AS whole the disputants
who took part showed the results of
good deal of hard work and research
and the manner of delivery was in
each case noticeably excellent, very
little hesitation being manifest and
few references to notes being made.
The debate was spirited and did not
prove to be tiresome to the audience
as debates often do. The basis for
award of prizes is as follows: Argu-
ment 40 per cent, logical arrangement
20 per cent, language 20 per cent and
delivery 20 per cent.
