c. A, Sanders, of. this place, in
letter to The Montpelier Argus, says:
so much has been said in regard to
this winter-one weather prophet
said it will be a repetition of one year
agC-l send you the summary of
December weather for both years,
which you can see for yourself, No
vember, 1905, was several degrees
warmer here in temperature. | have
the weather predictions of William
FL. Sears, of Plymouth, Mass. So
far the weather has been entirely
different from that which he pre-
dicted." In the figures which &C.
company the letter Mr.. Sanders
shows that in December, 1904, twenty

At the Universalist church Sunday
morning, the Rev. Otto S. Raspe
preached to the largest congregation
of the season. The New Years
resolution is yet fresh in mind. The
text was chosen from John 1916
After speaking atlength of the fitness
of the term "sheep," as applied to
men, Mr.. Raspe recalled to mind how
the Jews excluded the Gentiles from
the fold maintaining that the AL
gave unto them a sort of
monopoly of celestial light and truth
and that the Bedouin tribes scattered
all arc und the Land of Promise were
not sheltered by it's radiepce. Jesus,
however, was a Messiah of larger
brotherhood. Christ is the Saviour
of the black as we'll as of the white;
OF the poor as well as of the rich; of
the bad as>well as of the good. He
belongs to no sect; but to mankind.
And yet the history of hristiauity
has b en- one of ontension and strife.
Churches in the name of Christ have |
dogm at'z and have set up their |
specific doctrine as the only sound |
and valid, as the only real spirit and
power, which man must accept If he |
wishes to be saved. Christ assured |
US that all sheep belong to the same |
fold and that He is the Good Shep- |
herd. Christ is the redeeming power.
He is the light CT salvation, lighting
the wav of the Jew and the Gentle;
the different churches at varience
with each other; the individual saint |
and sinner. His grace goes out to
the very desert of the world to re.
claim and restore.
