THANKSGIVING DAY.
Sermon Preached by Rev. w. H.
Washburne at Union Meeting.

WaShburne at union Meet'h9'
Text-Numbers, 1928: What Hath
God Wrought?
Mr. Washburn preached an excellent
sermon on the above text. From the
many trite sayings contained in the dis
course we extract the following epitome:
am not searching for the particular
conditions that existed when these words
were spoken, but rather for reason or
basis for thanksgiving.
1t is not so much Gods greatness as
his goodness, that calls forth our thanks.
The proclamatons making this day one
of thanksgiving, emphasize the goodness
of God.
Material things are so prominent in
these proclamations, as reasons for
thanksgiving, that we might almost
infer. that the harvests must be assured
before any basis exists for thanksgiving.
Some persons cannot tell how much
they are obligated to the Lord until the
harvests are gathered.
There is a tendency to magnify the
material at the expense of the spiritual.
The cripple is made to walk; that at
tracts more attention than does the con-
version of very wicked man from his
sins to a pure Christian life. How won
derful man hates with all his soul
Godliness and yet becomes a follower
of Jesus. and true child of God. The
drift is to magnify the material and min
ify the spiritual.
Tie harvests have been abundant, the
fields have done their very best, our
| barns and granaries are burdened with
their contents; never was there more
material comfort in this land, and no
other nation has so many comforts, or
enjoys more prosperity, and we should
be ungrateful, indeed, if this year we
did not observe day of thanksgiving
Our manufactures are busy, commerce
is brisk, and we all have employment.
Money is plenty and peace prevails
throughout our borders. Happy is that
people that is in such a case"
Are these all Is there nothing else
for which we should bless the Lord
While our father is pleased that we ap-
preciate these material blessings, He will
be more pleased that we appreciate the
spiritual.
God spake and the earth was, with its
powers for perpetuation. God created
man and pronounced him good, but
temptations came, and man sinned, and
lost his high estate, and was in disfavor,
and seemingly doomed. Something must
be done, something radical and severe,
and God placed himself, in the person
of his son, in the breech. God gave his
son, spared him not but delivered him
up for us all. He was spit upon, struck
in the face, tortured, crucified, and re-
jected All this not for. his sins, but
for our sins. fought we to forget this
on our Thanksgiving day? Will it not
please the Father, that we magnify the
spiritual?
"All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let Angels PROSTATE fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all

The VILLAGE Charter.

We surrender considerable space in
this weeks paper to publication of the
new Charter of the village of Middlebury
recently passed by the Legislature. The
bill was carefully drawn by committee
of citizens and its provisions seem to be
as nearly perfect as any charter would
naturally be, emanating from body of
citizens whose individual opinions were
doubtless at variance in some particu-
lars. The bill has not been signed by
Gov. Proctor, as far as heard from, but
no doubt will be unless opposition should
develope. The present instalment is
about one-half the document, the bal
ance will be published next week.

EX-GOV. STEWART.
Hale and Hearty at Eishty-one
Years of Ace.

Ex-Gov. John w. Stewart of Middle
bury was 81 years old Saturday, having
been born in Middlebury. Nov. "a,
1926 After preparation in Middlebury
academy, he entered Middlebury college,
from which he graduated with honor in
1946.
Adopting the legal profession, he
studied with the late Horatio Seymour
of Middlebury. and was admitted to the
bar in 1850. Four years later he formed
a partnership with ex-United States Sen
ator Phelps, and maintained the connec-
ton until Mr.. Phelps death the next
year.
Early in his career Mr.. Stewart associ-
ated himself with the political affairs of
Vermont and honors have come to him
IN abundance From 1852 to 1854 he
was states attorney of Addison county,
and in 1856 he represented Middlebury
in the legislature. In 1857, when the
state capitol at Montpelier burned, Mr..
Stewart was largely instrumental in re-
tanning Montpelier as the capitol of the
state being the leader in the opposition
of the movement to change the seat of
the state government to Burlington.
After serving two years in the state
senate, Mr.. Stewart was again elected to
represent Middlebury in the General AS
Sc nbly in 1864, 60, sc and 81 being
chosen speaker of the House at each of
the last three sessions.
Mr.. Stewart was the first governor of
Vermont elected after the constitutional
convention which made the election
biennial instead of annual. He served
as chief magistrate from 1870 to 1872.
The routine of state affairs was con-
Quoted with dignity and skill, and his
gubernatOrial incumbency was one of
usefulness and honor.
He served for four terms in the lower
house of national congress from 1880 to
1888, when he returned to the active
practice of law
Mr. Stewart was married in 1860 to
Emma, daughter of Philip Battell of
Middlebury. OF their five children, two
daughters and a son still survive. The
daughters are Ega and Jessica, while
the son, Philip, graduated from Yale in
1886, and is now prominent ranchman
in Colorado and one of the most intimate
friends of President Roosevelt.

Some of the dogs are handsome, and

YIDDISH POST CARDS.
Some Show scenes Of Jewish Life, some

Are Humorous.
The craze for collecting postcards has
stimulated Jewish humor and has also
brought out some attractive cards showing
scenes OF Jewish life. Some Of the imported
Yiddish cards Of a humorous nature are
fine productions, but the rule with those
seen on the East Side Is that The more humor-
Gus the card the more indifferently II Is
printed.
Among the imported cards are some
showing reproductions Of photographs.
-The Yeehibsh" CTalmudic SCHOOL, Is the
title Of a card, Rembrandtesque in chsrac-
ter, depicting the interior Of a Russian
Jewish seminary.
The scene is a tiny, low rooted attic,
where, by the light Of a solitary lamp,
three bachurim (students) are purusing
their studies. One IL in deep slumber, the
sleep ~ mental and physical exhaustion,
and the weary eyed tutor expounds a Tai
midic theme to the remainder Of the list
less students. Altogether the card Is an
interesting study in shadows com pressed
into the limited space Of a picture postcard.
Another card depicts a Galician wedding.
The wealth Of detail, the grouping OF the
crowd in the synagogue courtyard, and the
picturesque costumes Of the wedding guests
are Of interest.
A continental ARTIST mas, IN Two Caru8,
related pictorially the story with which
for many years Russian children ha W
been alternately awed and amused. IL
describes how a hungry wolf on the lookout
for a much needed meal, came across a
band Of itinerant Jewish musicians.
G~astronomic desires were subdued by tho
animaps love for melody, and the wolf
is seen listening with the ecstacy Of a critic,
to the music of the terrified musicians.
Then a man With a gun comes along and the
concert stops before the wolf has time Ia
remember his appetite.
The Uxpressions Of the features Of the mem.
hers of the orchestra are lifelike and the
transition from abIect terror TO ~unbounded
CLEO Ia amusing.

ANY one who has not watched the o'clock
dismissal OF a fashionable private school

politsu life" said a New York woman who
lives in the private school district. The
daily ~disbanding OF one OF these up to date
halls OF learning is attended with as much
street and curb display as marks any social
function.
Long before the appointed time the pro-
oeesion begins to arrive, for as yet no school
has advanced 90 far as to install an electric
carriage call and consequently there is a
decided advantage in coming early and
securing a position near the head OF the
waiting line. The display OF vehicles is
diversified. Governess carts touch hubs
with the newest model touring car. while
such ordinary affairs as victorias, coupfs
and b~rouRhams line the street.
sOn the sidewalk stand a row of maids,
i~rreproachably dressed in black with small,
plain hats, waiting for their little charges
who live within walking distance. While
the maids take their places near the door
the C~overnesses walk up and down on the
opposite side OF the street, meanwhile keep
