There is path that leads to God;
All others go astray;
Narrow but pleasant is the road.
And Christians love the way.
1t leads straight through this world of SIM
All dangers must be passed;
But those that boldly walk therein
Shall come to Heaven at last.
How shall a youthful pilgrim dare
This dangerous path 10 tread:
Do l not need a Shepherds care,
To be securely led:
In 1892 the Sunday school barn was
pulled down and part of the hard wood
frame used on the pulpit OF the Greens
boro church. the stairway OF the new
parsonage and various small articles.
The rest was stored away in the peak of
the roof of the new barn. Rev. Mr.. Fisk
on learning the history of Squire Hale
conceived the idea of erecting this mon
ument to his memory. He told the
story before the Vermont Sunday School
Association. presented a gavel made
from the wood of the barn and intro
duced Mrs. Blake. then 81 years old,
who sang the same HYMN that she sang
as a child in 1917. From the wood Of
the barn Mr. Fisk had 40 cane sticks
made which he sold at S1.00 apiece. BY
this means and by telling the story at
various church gatherings, bit by bit,
the money has been raised.

lowing program was given:

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
TOp-DreSSing and Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that in
many cases better results are obtained
on meadows from fertilizers which are
applied in the summer or early fall This
is true both as to top-dressing and
seeding down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that we
can furnish formulas for mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to top-dressing and
seeding down grass land. These formu-
las have not only been approved by the
Vermont Experiment Station, but have
been used with excellent results by a
great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable We
can also furnish the materials for mixing
fertilizers in accordance with these for
mulas. We should be pleased to send
the formulas together with full directions
for mixing, cost of materials, etc, to any
one who will write us, mentioning this
paper. Address CARROLL S. PAGE, Hyde

EXPIRES. Cleveland Dead.

Grover Cleveland, for two terms Pres
ident of the United States, died June "a
at Westland, his Princeton home. His
death was sudden, according to attend
ing physicians, although he had been
seriously i'll for more than a month.
Heart failure was the immediate cause
of death The complications followed
long standing trouble with the heart
and kidneys.
Stephen Grover Cleveland was born in
Caldwell, Essex county, N. Y, March 13,
1887. In early life he was clerk in a
store, taught in New York city, and
afterwards studied law in Buffalo, N Y.
He was elected President of the United
States on the Democratic ticket in 1884,
by a majority of 81 electoral votes In
1888 he was defeated for the presidency
by Benjamin Harrison. He was the
candidate of his party again in 1892
and was elected, defeating President
Harrison. At the conclusion of his term
he took up his residence at Princeton, n.
T., where he has since resided. He was

Stone which Marks Resting Place of one
of the founders of the Sunday School
Movement in Vermont.

Movement in Vermont.
One hundred years ago in the little
town of Greensboro the Sunday school
movement in Vermont had its beginning,
when deacon Washburn gathered his
large family into a class for religious
instruction on Sunday evenings. Other
families joined the class and in 1914 the
school had become so large that it was
forced to meet at the school house and
June % of that year it was organized
with a superintendent and FIVE teachers.
One of the teachers and later superintend-
ent was Squire Ashbel Hale and i'll
his memory a monument was on Thurs
day dedicated. Squire Hale was a des-
cendant of the famous English Judge Sir
Mathew Hale and is a relative Of the
late Senator Hale
His grave has never been marked and
until the Rev. p F. Fisk came to
Greensboro to preach no one had paid
any attention 10 the fact. Entirely
through his efforts money was raised
with which to erect the monument. In
1916 the Moral Society of Crattsburv,
Hardwick and Greensboro with Squire
Hale as president was organized ito
counteract the sins OF Sabbath breaking
protaneness, iutemperauce and gamb-
ling" To further promote the work of
the Sunday school a great exhibition
was held June 25, 1917, in Squire Hale's
barn. The barn was an ordinary
structure 80 ~ f., but was known
always as the Sunday school barn. The
exhibition was a great event in the life
of the community and everyone came
from miles around. Two years old
Esther Huntington, afterwards Mrs.
Franklin Blake of Lawrence, Kansas,
stood on Deacon Washburn's hand and
sang a hymn: There is a path that
leads to Cod.

The Same Old Story,

Another leader in educational pro-
gress in Vermont is lost with the exc
dus of Supt. Clarence II. Dempsey, of
st. Johnsbury, to Massachusetts. 1t is
the same old melancholy story, that,
when far too many Vermonters get big
enough to be useful, the temptation to
leave home for opportunity is Greater
than the inducement offered to remain.

Mr.. Page for Assistant Judge.

Editor CALIFORNIAN
The name of Frank M. Page of Groton
is being very favorably mentioned as a
candidate for assistant judge of the
county court. Mr. Pages name has
been brought forward by his friends, as
he has not been candidate for the office,
and it is another case of the office seek
ing the man.
Mr.. Page has for the past ten years
been clerk of the town of Groton, and
previous to that time was engaged in the
practice of law. He has many friends
throughout the county who hope
he will receive the nomination, and his
candidacy has received the endorsement
of nearly every member of the county
bar because of his particular qualifca-
tons for the office.

A st. JOhnsbury Candidate.

Rev. Edward Taylor Fairbanks, D. D.,
A. B. Yale 1859, Andover Theological
seminary 1862, is a candidate for the
St. Johnsbury senatorship in Caledonia
county.
St. Johnsbury has given him a hand
some send-of, giving him a hundred
majority or more over his competitor,
Harry H. Carr well known in northern
Vermont, so that his election to the
senatorship is assured, humanity speak
ing.
Dr. Fairbanks is man of alert mind,
always thoroughly abreast with the
times, and he is sure to prove one of the
most interesting figures in the Senate.
The CALIFORNIAN expresses the local view:
"The splendid endorsement of the
nomination of Edward T. Fairbanks
makes life worth living and lifts our
politics into the higher realm of states
nianship. 1t is indeed refreshing to have
the Office seek the man and to find the
man who will represent the county so
well at Montpelier. 1t has been happily
suggested by the democrats that they
may endorse DR.. Fairbanks at their
county convention-an act which would
be highly complimentary and eminently
fitting, ~ Burlington News.
Secretary Tatt's ancestors were among
the founders of Jamaica and Townshend,
VT, settling there just before the Rev
dictionary war; and there runs a tradi-
ton from among them that the sound of
the cannonading at the battle of Bunker
Hill was distinctly heard there. This
seems pretty large story, for Jamaica
and Townshend must be distant nearly
100 miles in bee line. Yet Arago, the
French physicist of the early l9th CEN
fury, established the fact that the can
non of that time could be heard at dis
lance of 90 and even 125 miles. Under
favorable atmospheric conditions it is
quite possible that the pioneer people on
the Vermont hills above the Connecticut
valley heard the sound of the cannon of

THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD.
Secular Religion a Feature of Present
Day, Says Professor.

The world can no longer be consid-
cred as a sphere of human life, sepa-
rate from or antagonistic to the
church. Too much religion has got
ten out Of the church into the world
to allow us to think OF all the good
being in the church, and of the world
as being nothing but evil. Religion
is taking on secular, in distinction
from exclusively ecclesiastical, forms
Of expression. There is coming to
be world church, having a religious
consciousness to which nothing that
is common to man IS foreign, and in
sacrificial service tur all the world
We have hlilded better than we
know. Our philanthropies and re-
forms have sanctified the secular,
have manifolded our MINISTRIES. The
religious valuation of the single soul,
sanctity of the one life, worth of the
person above things, is forcing broth
erhood upon business, and making it
the corollary to the proposition of the
fatherhood Of God. The doctrine Of
the kingdom. which is righteousness.
