Monument to Deacon Hale,

monument is to be erected and dedi-
Gated here this summer of more than
local interest. 1t is to mark the last
resting place of a man prominent in the
FIRST Sunday school work in Vermont.
In 1908 Deacon Asabel Washburn began
to teach his large family, as class, on
Sunday evenings to recite scripture,
hymns, and catechism. At the end of two
years a leading woman of this town
asked to have her own children ioin
eacon Washburn's class, the first en-
couragement he received from any source.
In 1911 Rev, Samuel GODDARD of Concord
preached one Sunday at Greensboro and
went home and organized lin 1912 the
hrst regular Sunday school in Vermont.
In 1914 January PSI Deacon Wash
burns house having become overfull. he
went with his class to the schoolhouse
and organized, with a superintendent
and three teachers, Ashbel Hale being
one of them.
In 1917 the Moral society" of Green's
boro, Craftsbury and Hardwick conclud.
ed that Deacon Washburn had found
the best means of promoting morals"
and decided to promote his ethics. Ac.
cordingly, June %, 1917, the first "exhi-
bition" of Sunday schools was held in
Mr.. Hale's new barn, 400 children
marching there to music from the school
house. The influence of that gathering
led to the formation of Sunday schools
in all the surrounding towns. Deacon
Washburn was general superintendent
over many of these, and Mr. Hale became
superintendent of the original school, in
which capacity he served until his old
age.
Mr.. Hale died more than three score
years ago, and his grave here has been
unmarked all these years. Some time
ago Rev. P. B. Fisk we'll known all
through northern Vermont, discovered a
beech "girt" and a birch "brace" of the
old Sunday school barn. He caused
them to be cut up, and he made them in
to canes, which he sold at dollar a
piece the proceeds to be used for the
erection of a monument over Mr.. Hale's
grave. By his energy and perseverance
Rev, Mr.. Fisk raised the required sum,
and the monument has been completed
and paid for, and will be dedicated ap-
propriately during the coming summer.
For the present generation and for years
to come it will be as much of monument
to Rev. Mr.. Fisk as to the Sunday school
pioneer of three-quarters of century
ago.

Mrs. Melvin over Sunday.
