Whereas, the Great Head of the Church
in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to
transfer from the Church militant to
the Church triumphant our highly es-
teemed and well beloved brother and
fellow laborer in the gospel, Rev. Chand-
Ter n. Thomas, therefore be it resolved
by the Conference of Congregational
churches of Addison County, Vermont,
assembled at Salisbury on this Goth day
of May 1908,
First, that Brother Thomas, having
been for nearly quarter of a century
member of this body and pastor of
churches within our bounds, gave us
abundant opportunity of knowing HIM
well in all his qualities of character and
capacities of service, we have the privil-
eye of bearing the testimony of our
united appreciation of the precious
Christian life he spent with us and
among US, and the imperishable service
he rendered the cause of our Lord in
this county and State. We gratefully
remember him in his unstinted faithful
ness, in his uniform perseverance in
manly conservation to his high ideals, in
his abundant laboIs through all the years,
giving to all notable example of what
Christian gentleman can be in the
ministry of Jesus Christ.
Resolved: That we rejoice in our
knowledge of him and his ministry and
hereby make it matter of permanent
record in our conference book But,
more, that we would express to Mrs,
Thomas, his efficient helper, and his
honored son, the Rev. DR.. John NJ.
Thomas, the president-elect of Middle
bury College, our profound respect for
the husband and father.
We rejoice with them in their assur-
ance that our Brother Thomas has gone
into his eternal inheritance as a redeem
ed child of God. Neither they nor we
can mourn as those without hope. We
commend them to the consultations Of the
Word and the grace of God, and pray
that they may be blessed richly in the
memory of their beloved, and in their
hope of the immortality of God that
awaits them in the common inheritance
of the saints Of God.
Resolved: That a copy of these senti-
ments be sent to Mrs. Thomas and DIR.
Thomas, that they may know in what
esteem and appreciation their beloved
was held by all his associates.

A Splendid Chance.

Everybody who is weak, delicate or sickly
wants 10 get well. DR.. Greene, Of 81 Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, makes a specially Of
treating patients free through letter cores
pondenoe. The wisest thing all suffering
people can do is to write Dr. Greene, stating
Just how they feel, mentioning every symptom
Of which they complain, and he will answer
the letter, explaining each symptom and de-
scrlbing the case so thoroughly that patients
understand their complaint as well as though
they had talked with the Doctor. lie makes
his explanations so clear that they cannot
help but understand just what ails them, aud
he tells exactly what to do to get well. It
saves a journey to the city and doctors fees,
and costs nothing. DR.. Greene is the most
successful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. He is the dscoverey of that
wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. Thousands are being
cured through his perfect system Of letter cor
respondence. 1t has been proved successful.

An Excellent Report.

The report to the Village Improve
ment society, by MIR. F. A. Waugh, will
be of great interest to all having the
welfare of the town at heart. While his
stay here was short, Mr.. Waugh's re-
port shows thoroughness of detail that
is commendabe. And while few of
his suggestions as to improvement may
seem to some at this early stage to be
difficult of accomplishment, it should be
borne in mind that with unity, under
good direction, advancement may be
made that few years ago would seem
almost impossible.
One eminently practical suggestion is
that the intersecting walks and drives
through our parks and plots may be
reduced with no inconvenience and but
comparatively small expense; this move
ment has already been started by the
village officers last year, but more re-
mains to be done.
1t has long been matter of much dis.
comfort to everyone that the railroad
station surroundings are veritable eye
sore, and would very naturally lead a
person unacquainted with the village to
form an unfavorable impression of the
place. 1t is to be hoped that an effort
will be made to secure the cooperation
of the Rutland Railroad company, on
whom, naturally, much of the expense
of this work will fall.
Many needed changes are suggested in
the report of Mr.. Waugh, which should
be carefully read in order to reach full
appreciation of some of the needs of our
village, which, though naturally beau
tiful, may, by concerted effort, be made
model town from every standpoint.

Fifty years ago it was thought en-
tirely proper in many sections of the
country for deacons of the church to be
distillers and liquor sellers. Those were
what the liquor drinkers of our present
age refer to as the good old days
when there was no tax on rum and
when there were no internal revenue
laws to increase the price of liquor and
thus create temptations for its adultera-
ton. That was before the days of the
gilded liquor dens, where the youth of
the present generation are lured to ruin
and death. The effort toward the sal
walton of the land from the drink curse
was then a distinct temperance effort.
Men were admonished not to indulge in
the drink habit, and without doubt,
much good was done in laying the found
atoms of the various organizations that
have been perfected against the liquor
traffic.
1.-THE next development was in the di-
rection of local prohibition and laws
looking to the protection of the school
districts from the liquor dives. The
present generation is familiar with much
of the work that has been accomplished
along this line.

Tomorrow is to be the day set apart
for the commemoration of the lives and
deaths of those who have borne arms in
the defense of the nation; and it is sim
cerely TO be hoped that the citizens gen.
orally will turn out in goodly number
and do all in their power to carry out the
exercises of this important day.
There is principle back of this day
which is enshrined in the hearts of the
people, and this principle is vastly more
than the hearts that enshrine it, for it
holds within its grasp the destiny, the
welfare and the manhood Of succeeding
generations" There is no nation on the
earth in which this patriotic impulse is
carried out more completely than in our
own United States.
Vermont contributed her full share of
those who have gone willingly and
fought in the nations wars, from the
days Of the minute-men to the present
time. In our humble cemeteries sleep
men as brave and as true as are found
entombed in costly mausoleums. And
it is but our duty to see that the fast
lessening line of veterans does not 90
but poorly escorted to decorate the rest
ing places of their comrades who have
gone before. Every year marks a sad
decrease in the ranks of the slow-march-
ing files of old soldiers; it will not be
many years before the time when they
will all be gone. May we never forget
what these men HAYS done for the gener-
alton of today, as well as for those to
come.
