| China. spoke of the work Of the Episco-
pal church at st. Johns church, at the
morning service Bishop Roots Will
| leave the first of the week for China,
with his family. where he will resume
his work in the episcopacy.
/ Rt. Rev. Bishop Resterick of Honolulu
spoke of the work of the Episcopal
Pauls Pro-cathedral. He, too. Is return
ing to carry the work forward.
Bishop Conaty spoke at st. Thomas
church at the patronal celebration.
Bishop Resterick is we'll known in Los
Angeles, where he has spoken before,
and the pro-cathedral was filled with a
large congregation to hear him yesterday
morning.
Bishop Resterick said in part:
Jesus, the same yesterday. today and
forever. Today we are looking forward
to the celebration of the birth of him
who Is the same forever. Today we hear
that the time is past when he shall be
hailed as the light of the world. But we
know that re is the light, yesterday, to-
day and forever
Theories may come and may go, they
may rise and fall. The past is strewn
with wrecks of theories. and he whose
birthday we celebrate remains as the
sun.
Not that our ideas of him are the
same as with our ancestors, even with US
when we were children. We know more
about the sun today and so our knowl-
edge increases, though IL is the same
sun. He remains the same life-giving,
loving personality that ever was and
ever will be.
Oriental Problem Different
This l have found especially in the
work which l have to do out in those
islands in the mid-Paciflc. In California
you have Cn.nese and Japanese, Dut
where the white people are outnumbered
fifteen to one where you meet them face
to face as men and women. 1t is very
different matter. In a land where, until
recently, another race was the govern
ment, their children go to school with
our chil-ren and we know them as peo-
pie What do we find? This same Christ
appeals to every human heart whatever
the color Human hearts are the same
everywhere.
I'm speaking of the rehabilitation Of
the islands, I do not speak of politics.
They were orientalized long before the
United States took possession. Few
white men could live there long il the
oriental labor was taken away.
"In taking our message to them we
use largely the English language. They
go to our schools and In their church
services they use the same ritual as you
here today If Christianity is only for
the Anglo-Saxon race, we are not
Christians, for Christ said: Go ye to
all the world
Here you don't know the Chinese.
They are outcasts. But over in Hawaii
it is different; another environment. 1t
is the greatest wish of the Chinese in
Hawaii to educate their children and
send them back to China to wake up
the country
Bishop Resterick told of the work of
the Episcopal mission among the Chinese
and the Japanese and of the work being
carried on by the natives among their
own people. He told of the. churches,
where the former queen of Hawaii wor-
ships; of the schools for girls, and of
the night school for boys

ERA OF LIBERATION
is DR.. DAYS KEYNOTE

At the First Congregational church
Rev. william Horace Day took for his
text a picture {, Raphaers Sistine Ma
donna.
"The life of the painter will sug-
gest my thought" he said. This man,
who has been called the greatest of
painters died at the age of 81 in 1920.
His work shows three phases. The
first under Perugino, his teacher. which
may be called the traditional. The
second, which finds him in Florence,
the classical, and the third or Roman
period when he painted such as this
the noblest product of the artists
brush.
I'm the traditional period he lived
among the sweet and gentle Madonnas
of Perugino and painted innocent, un-
developed women, badly drawn, lacking
in life. Out of this atmosphere of
medieval piety he went to Sienna and
to Florence, where the newly discov-
cred works of pagan Greece were being
studied. His whole mind broadened
and he paints life, with enthusiasm, the
joyous, free open air. earthly life of an
cient art. The sincere by traditional
religious spirit seems to have been lost
He began to study anatomy, even dis
setting muscles that he might draw
The spirit of modern science in It's
relentless search for the true became
his passion. He was great enough to
b long to the greatest of his time
while he never lost the new found free
dom he escaped missing the powerful
religious motive. In this group before
us we have all the wild, glorious free
dom of body in his visions of Ezekiel
where Jupiter like Jehovah rides
upon the winged beasts, surrounded by
infant angels. all moving amid the
clouds, the very picture OF untrammeled
physical liberty.
Man Made Free
I'm the Sistine he is the man made
free in the study of that which made
the art of the italian Renaissance and
yet with soul illumined by the mystic
spirit of medieval faith The great
ness of his art grew out of his power to
unite that which he learned from
Perugino, the painter of saints. and
that which Greek marbles taught his
facile mind. and then to build the two
together This picture is one peculiar
ly fitted to our time and our need.
Every great age has these three
phases. When he acts in accord with
traditional ideas is constrained into
narrow and unprogressive ways This
is followed by an era of liberation, the
old hampering. outworn ideas are
broken and for a time It looks as If the
new was to learn nothing OF the past

HENRY X. FIELD.

Henry X. Field died suddenly from heart
disease at his home in Alameda. Cal.
on the 18th inst. He was a son Of the
late Charles X. Field. one OF the fore
most lawyers of his time and grandson
of Gen. Martin Field. The latter was
born in Leverett, Mass, but after his
graduation from college he studied law
in Chester, Vt, and in the year 1900 be-
gan to practice law in Newfane and pass
ed his life there. He was a man of ele-
CANT personal appearance and of great
force of character. His wife. Esther
Smith Kellogg, was a sister of the late
Daniel Kellogg. formerly a judge of the
supreme court. His son, Roswell NJ
practiced law a few years in this county
but afterwards moved TO St Louis and
became one of the ablest lawyers in the
Southwest His sons were the distin-
guished and beloved literary men, Eu-
gene and Roswell Field, first cousins of
the subject of this sketch and his boy
hood companions. The Field family was
one of the most talented and prominent
families in the county.
Henry X. came to Brattleboro with his
fathers family in 1861 and for several
years attended our public schools He
fitted for college at the Washington
county grammar school in Montpelier
making his home with his sister, Mrs
r. p. Jewett; entered Amherst college
in 1865, graduated in 1869, studied law in
the office of Field & Tyler and was ad-
mitted to the bar of this county in ISL
He soon went to Montpelier and formed
partnership with the late c. j. Gleason,
with whom he was in practice several
years. While there he became greatly
interested in life insurance and soon de-
veloped such an aptitude for the business
that the New England Life Insurance
company became interested in him. and
about 1880 employed him to go to Cali
fornia and take the general superintend-
ence of its business in that state and
oregon, which position he has held ever
since, proving himself an efficient mama
ger of the agencies and promoter of the
business of his company.
In 1872 Mr.. Field married Kate l.. Dam
Tells of Hartford, Conn. who. with five
children, and his sister, Mrs. Henry c.
Willard of Greenfield, survives him. The
oldest son, Charles *, has become
hrst-class insurance man as well as
writer of excellent verse.
Henry X, like all the Fields. was Of
strong personality; he was strenuous
business man, a steadfast friend, kind
ana indugent husband and father. The
home at Alameda was ideal

New Horses for Fire Department.

The board of baiiffs bought last week
a pair of heavy black horses for the fire
department to replace the span of bays
which has been used on the chemical
engine. The new horses were secured by
G. f. Gilman in the West about six weeks
ago For long time it has been realized
that the bays We're not exactly suitable
for the fire department work and Mr..
Gilman, Henry II. Brown and others have
looked far and wide for the right kind
of team to take their place. The
search has occupied more than two years
The horses which We're at last selected
are believed to be the best pair of fire
pounds when in running condition The
old pair weighed nearly as much but were
shorter and too fat for the heavy work.
They had to be kept up to that weight in
order to do anything with the heavy
chemical engine. The new horses will
be kept in training by much exercise and
VIII always be in condition to take the
chemical up any hill in town Before
selling them to the bailiffs Mr. Gilman
tried them on the chemical engine and on
heavy team They ran with the engine
from the engine house on Eliot street to
the top of High street hill and with the
heavy wagon from the iron bridge to the
top of the Esteyville hill. In neither case
did the horses show any signs of fatigue
and they were evidently able to do twice
that distance without difficulty They
are Michigan bred, six and seven years
old, and perfectly broken. Since they
were taken to the fire station they have
been seen and admired by many horse
men. The bays were sold to f. z. Dick
inson. They will make a very handsome
driving pair, and are desirable as safe
horses, as they have no fear OF steam
cars, electrics, automobiles or other con-
veyances
