We're so young they could hardly be
blamed for thus trifiing with the hon
orable intentions of one who was
seeking only to find an object on
which to bestow the love that beams
from his affectionate brown eyes,
Fierce widows came after him and
wrote letters in such fast succession
that TO have answered them all would
have bankrupted him In order to

CLAIMS GREAT DISCOVERY

Rudolph M Hunter of Philadelphia claims to have discovered the secret for which man. kind has been seeking vainly since the days Of the ancient Egyptians, that of the transmutation of the baser metals into gold. What the process is he alone knows; for even to his sons he has conhded only a part of it. It is his intention that the secret shall remain in his own family If MT. Hunters claim be justified and he is rec ognized as a responsible man with wonderful inventive genius. he will demoralize the curren- cy systems of all the countries in the world; they will have to find a new metal as the basis of their currency, for if gold is produced in large quantities it will depreciate in value more than even silver has done. It will be no more vau- able than copper

Suggestions From an Old Resident

The condition of Royal H. Peck is suf
ficiently comfortable to admit of his walk
ing out short distance on fine days. AL
though Mr.. Peck has been in very poor
health for long time, he still retains a
remarkably lively interest in all matters
pertaining to the welfare of Morrisville
and few days since took occasion to
suggest few ideas to the local reporter
which he felt would rebound to the profit
and enjoyment of Morrisville and her
| people if carried out. 1t is well known
that Mr. Peck has always taken lively
and progressive interest in Morrisville's
new Lake-in fact-to him belongs the
credit of first proposing Lake Lamoille,
which has been officially adopted for a
name. His interest, however, did net
! cease with the completion of the new
! dam, and he hopes for great things for
Morrisville, as a result of the enterprise.
As a fitting celebration of the compile
ton of the dam, which made possible
the lake, in which all of Lamoille County
is interested, Mr.. Peck proposes that on
July 4, Lamoille County Picnic" be
held on the shores of the lake, when a
! general invitation be issued for everybody
/ to come and see the new body of water.
He would not object to other features
usually found on a Fourth of July pro.
gram, but would rather combine the two.

the argument of tho first great class of

The second section struck n word of
warning. 1t was directed to church
members themselves. In an optomistic
way, which is majestic in itself, they de-
clare the church to be in wholesome
condition; that she is steadily conquer
ing her way. Careessness creeps in
when man is too confident. Much must
be done. There is no end of the work in
the vineyard. We are all duty bound to
iend our forces in multiplying the vital
virtues and soul saving principles for
which the church so unfiinchingly stands
The third section discussed the church
as being the light of the world, but that
IL is experiencing decline. This opin-
ion demands our attention. The church
is the light of Christi in the world but not
until her message is so filed with His
Holy Spirit can we hope to reach the I'M
churched. We, as church, must bridge
the gulf that separates the church and
christianity. The spiritual growth of
the human race has not been commensu-
rate with the spread of the church. This
is our opportunity.

Aside from the regular service the choir

At the Universalist church, Sunday
morning, the pastor, Rev. Otto S. Raspe,
preached an optomistic sermon concern

ton church. His theme Vas, "Three
Opinions Concerning the Church." The
first section of the discourse dealt with
the pessimistic contention that the church
has been useful in the past, but has long
since outlived its usefulness and is now
in state of hopeless decay. That it is
a relic of Mediaevalism, which has no
place in an enlightened age and which
can assert no authority over reason or
keep abreast of the intellectual advance
ment of the Century, is the substance of

Advent Christian

Last Sunday morning Pastor S. M.
| Wales spoke from texts found in Nix.
14S and Lu. 10:42. Subject "Mary and
her virtues" This Mary was one of a
family of three where Jesus loved to 90.
They oftened ministered unto Him, lis
tened to the gracious words as they fell
from his lips and received of his blessings.
Mary seemed to grasp in large measure
His great purpose in life, and was liberal
in her devotion and gifts. "She hath
done what she could" was the commen-
dation of Jesus. Can he say as much of
us? Do we set our affections on Him
and show our love by our works ? The
fragrance of a consecrated life is greater
than that of much ointment, and to-day
this story of Mary amounting Jesus is told
in over 400 languages and dialects. Do
and give your best for Him who gave
His best for you.
The evening service opened with
praise service. The pastor spoke upon
Expectation" Heb. 1913, and was fol-
lowed by an excellent conference meet
