Quoted by Prot. Hill, in which hundreds
heartily joined last evening, DR.. Brush
ingham spoke on "The Uniyersality 81
Gods Call" the vast audience hanging
on his words with breathless interest.
The speaker declared that he had never
seen so much genuine unaffected religious
interest In any other conference he had
visited thus far. He then proceeded TO
make an impressive appeal to the Chris
tlans present to get nearer to the Lord
and get ready TO at once lead others TO
him. Passing on, he described the yari-
Gus ways in which God calls men to-
serve him. Sometimes by calamity, as
with Jacob, sometimes by the recollec-
ton Of a prayer az mothers knee,
sometimes by the voice OF conscience as
with Jean Vatican, sometimes BY the
memory Of the crucifxion as on this
Good Friday afternoon, and by the love
messages found IN the Bible The al
dress was gemmed with apt quotations
and Illustrated with telling story, and
did much To deepen an already profound
religious interest. He closed with an
appeal to those not yet Christians to
take the step settling their relation to
God here aud their presence with HIM
hereafter. Several responded,

a PROPOSED NEW RAILROAD.

F.. I.
The Hinesburg railroad to connect the
town of that name with Burlington has
been constructed so many times on paper
and once few rods Of it actually on
the ground, that people have grown to
become skeptical every time the subject
il mentioned. The actual efforts many
years since resulted in the laying OF a
certain section Of the road out Of Bur
Hngton and then the project fell fiat.
Like truth, it has occasionally risen
again; and it now comes up again in
the proposition that if Hinesburg will
bond for $4,000 the road viii actually
be built The natural skepticism as to
the likelihood Of promises being fulfilled
is somewhat dispersed BY the fact that
two such reliable men as Chauncey NJ.
Brownell and City Judge Z. c. Mower OF
Burlington stated them. If the proposed
railroad would be likely to eyentuate
in another bankrupt concern, however,
similar to one or two others in Vermont
At the present time, Hinesburg people
viii do well to think twice before they
bond. This business of building rail-
roads for sentimental reasons is poor
policy. But perhaps the business be-
tween the connecting points is sufficient
q warrant an even break on the receipt
and expense accounts-The Times is not
acquainted with the exact situation and
Il It is there ought to be no reason for
refusal to bond Nevertheless, it should
be remembered that the section which
such 3 railroad would tap is not an ex-
tremely favorable one as regards indus

Jots and Jottings Of Interest to Regular
and Special Readers Of the Daily
Times.

| Among the interesting characters al
conference is Rev. A. w. Ford Of West
Enosburg, sweet singer whose voice
often is heard above the multitude. Mr.
Ford is an evangelist by both nature and
training and many hundreds have beer

meeting held at Granville. a young man
named Frank Lewis was led to Jesus in
his meeting. That young man is now
the secretary OF the conference aud the
popular presiding elder Of st. Johnsbury
district.
A First-class Choir.
Mention should be made of the choir
at Hedding church, which has furnished
the music for most of the afternoon and
evening anniversaries. This choir Is ably
led BY Mrs. Richard Bradley, who has d
reputation throughout all this section as
an excellent soloist and an able leader.
Quartettes, Duets and solos have supple
mented the large and we'll trained chorus,
which furnished the basis. This music
has greatly helped to make the public
services generally attractive.
A Generous Act.
The withdrawal Of Secretary Lewis
from the contest for delegate to the gen.
eral conference at the close of the fourth
ballot, and at time when his vote was
increasing, was most generous act, as
the result was then in doubt and he was
backed by body Of loyal supporters
who were determined To land him at
Baltimore. This il Int another indica-

Who Yields Most Power.

In the smoking room OF popular
West End club the other afternoon a
group of men suddenly raised the
query as to which six men WELD the
most power In the world. apd very
considerable diversity of opinion was
expressed. BY general consent King
Edward was placed at the head Of the
list, but It seemed impossible to ar.
rive at any agreement as to the re-
naming five. After some considerable
argument It was decided to canvass
the whole Of the members then in the
building and ask them to write down
the names of the six they considered
the most powerful. The following was
the result, with the order Of voting:
First, the king; second, the pope;
third, the car; fourth, the sultan Of
Turkey; fifth, the president Of the
United States; sixth, the emperor Of
China. Among others who were voted
for very generally were the emperor
Of Japan, the French president and

for every obesity cure known to mod

Even at top weight Aunt Martha
doesn't go over 154 pounds, but she

Presently the muscle goods arrived,
and next morning about daylight Aunt
Martha jumped on board the rowing
machine and bore away to the north

She was about four miles up the
river and going hard when a strap
broke, whereupon Aunt Martha went

most of the furniture in the room and
knocked her manicure set down be-

Bunch, she was the shortest circuit
that ever happened.
For a couple Of minutes that room
looked like q thunderstorm, with
Aunt Martha playing the thunder.
When Uncle Peter finally got the

wires out Of her hair, Aunt Martha
collapsed on the sofa, screaming:
Take II away! Take II away! Now
know what q hard life the third rail

cured Aunt Martha.
