Meeting Of Congregational Ministers.

The Windham County Association of
Congregational Ministers met at the par
sonage Monday morning on invitation Of
Rev. H. r. Miles. There was an attend
ence of -. Rev. ]. S. Cogswell of Wind
ham was chosen moderator. Rev. A. c.
Ferrin having moved from Springfield to
Lowell, was dismissed to the Andover
association in Massachusetts. Rev e. A.
Waldo of Westminster, who has supplied
two churches in Florida the past winter
and who expects to do so again neXtseason,
was dismissed to the South Florida as
ISOLATION. All the appointees on the pro-
gram, four in number, responded. Rev.
II. L. Ballou of Chester read a doctrinal
sermon upon what is called the new
birth" taking his text from the well
known conversation of Jesus with Nico-
demus as found in the third chapter Of
the book of John It was a conservative,
we'll balanced and interesting presentation
Of this somewhat intricate doctrine,
abundantly illustrated. Rev. II. H. Shaw
of Marlboro gave a review of Prof Du-
Bosses book entitled THE Gospel in the
Gospels" Few or none of those present
had read the book and so were the more
interested in IL as it's main contention
was presented by the reviewer. II sets
forth Jesus as the son of God and the
son Of man, according to the more liberal
tendencies of the time which seem to be
pervading khe most conservative denom-
nations az Well as others. Rev. j. S.
Cogswell read paper on the book Of Job.
He gave an analysis of the book spoke
of various theories as to authorship and
date and stated briefly his own impress
sion on those controverted points The
paper closed with testimony as to the
high worth OF the book, both in a liter
airy respect and in its useful lesson for
suffering humanity. The last exercise
was by Rev. L. NJ Keneston of West
Brattleboro upon 1.-THE Church and Com
mercialism." 1t was an exceedingly spicy
production, largely made up of personal
experiences by the author or his friends,
showing the advantages taken in trade
even by people in good repute. The paper
should be heard to be appreciated, as the
brethren hope it may be soon by the
public in general. Revs. Ballou, Roundy
and Miles were appointed to prepare a
program for next season.

For States Attorney, Frank E. Barber.

Mr.. Editor An argument of which we
have heard much in the pending contest
between Robert c. Bacon and Frank T.
Barber for the states attorneyship is
that experience ought to be the decisive
factor, and that as Mr.. Bacon has been
in practice some six years and Mr.. Bar
her only three years, therefore Mr.. Bacon
ought to have the nomination. But the
length of time a lawyer has been at the
bar is by no means a measure OF his
experience; it can be so only where other
things are equal, as decidedly they are
not in this case.
The experience that is desirable for
this position in the public interest is that
which comes from what the lawyer has
done and studied; the cases he has had
in court from which to learn and de-
velop. BY this standard, we find on the
docket of the late April term that Mr..
Bacon, after six years practice. appear
ed in IL cases, and Mr.. Barber in 49,.
From the September term and including
the cases already docketed for next Sep
tember Mr.. BARRIERS name appears in
IS and Mr.. Bacons in only II. Though
the youngest man at our bar, Mr.. Barber
stands third from the top among all our
lawyers in the number of his docketings.
entirely separately from his brother s
practice as they are not in partnership.
In a generation, no young lawyer, and
few If any, in this county and state
nave MADE more RAPID progress toward
the front He meets the Jeffersonian re-
quirements, in that he is honest, he is
capable, he is clean, a farmers boy whom
we farmers, and l believe a majority of
the Republicans of this county, would
like to see honored as he deserves.
1t is hardly worth your space to dis
cuss the fol-de-rol about the precedent"
of giving the office to the oldest aspirant.
Inquiry of leading attorneys throughout
the state including the chairman of the
examining board and the reporter of the
supreme court, shows that there is no
such precedent IN any county. If there
ever was in this county, 1t was broken
when Hosea Mann, jr., was nominated
over ]. c. Eddy in 1886; Charles II. Robb
over George A. Weston in 1896 and H. d,
Ryder over C. II. Williams two years
ago. This is just the year to break IL
also.
Yours very truly.
OSCAR T. WARE.
