hatred. Our forefathers in.
tended this land as the home of
civil and religious liberty. They
had fed from their own land to
escape religious persecution.
Here no law of caste binds a
man down, religious disturb
ances are practically unknown,
every man being allowed to
worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience.
The wisdom of the trainers of
our constitution being shown by
the embodyment into that docu-
ment of these words: Congress
shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or pro.
hibiting the free exercise there.
of" The foundation of this
great republic was builded upon
religious principles, hence this
motto: In God we trust. !"
Christianity opens the doors to
education. Throughout the
length and breadth of the land
we have the church and the
school, the great churches whose
spires tower into the heavens
and the great schools with their
thousands of students, both do.
ing their part in preparing the
rising generation for the great
future of the nation. During
the last one hundred and twenty
years this nation has produced
more great men than any other
nation on the face of the globe.
We have had our poets, our great
preachers and evangelists, our
statesmen, our orators, our
writers, our inventors, our mar.
tyrs, our philanthropists, our
financiers. What nation has
produced greater orators and
statesmen than Daniel Webster,
Rufus Choate, Abraham Lincoln,
Henry Ward Beecher and Robert
Ingersoll?
One of the most marvellous
achievements in our nations
history was accomplished when,
after months of debate, our
present constitution was pre-
sented to the people for their
ratification. Marvellous wisdom
and foresight was shown by the
trainers of this document for
today, after one hundred and
twenty two years, it still stands
as the supreme law of the land.
That foundation laid in 1857 has
stood the test, and today tower
ing over all similar structuers
our government is the pride of
the world. Through the mar
velous wisdom of Washington,
Hamilton, Jay, Madison and
others, we have had handed
down to US, not legacy of silver
or gold, but one oil far greater
value, a country and a govern

proud. And have not the young
men of today a far greater duty

fiuence on human life. 1t may
seem like a rather broad state
ment but it is nevertheless true
that more inventions have been
made by Americans during the
lifetime of people now living
than in all the age of the world
before. Eighty years ago there
were but twenty three miles of
railroad in the United States.
Fifty years ago there was not a
rail west of the Missouri river.
1t is a remarkable fact that the
United States has now more
miles of railroad than all the
other nations of the world COM
bined or enough to completely
encircle the earth more than
eight times. This fact alone
marks us as a marvel among the
nations of tie world. Some of
the inventions along electrical
lines have been among the most
valuable. Edison has tanned the
monarch of clouds, electricity,
harnessed it to the earth, and
through its agency turned night
into day. The moon and the
stars almost shrink from sight
when this product of American
genius, the electric light, bursts
into view. Edison and other in
vehtors have utilized the power
of electricity until our country
is a network of wires, but these
will soon be partially displaced
by the most wonderful develop
ment of all, wireless telegraphy,
and the wireless telephone, when
messages are conveyed, as it
were, on the wings of the wind
to the distant seas, warning the
befogged or storm tossed vessel
of danger thus saving hundreds
of lives. The American engi.
neer is making the streams which
have tumbled over rocks and
pebbles for ages bend to his
will, this wasted energy is being
harnessed and turned into cleo
trical power, turning the wheels
of industry, it lights cities, runs
cars and railroad trains, banish-

Sullivan Is training out at Fort

up against It just now, owing to the
fact that there is no one training at
the Orpheum at present, and consc-
quently sparring partners are few

W. c. Sanders, one of White River townships most successful farmers and best citizens, was selling cotton in town a few days ago, and remembered The Journal in a pleasant and sul- stantial manner.

 An exchange says that "one-third of the fools in the country think they can beat lawyer in expounding the law; one-half think they can beat the doe tor in healing the sick; two-thirds of them think they can put the minister in hole in preaching the gospel; and all of them think they can beat the editor in running a newspaper.

THE WAY IF WILL WORK

The Centennial History of Norway says
on page l69, THE town of Norway was
not granted for settling purposes, con.
sequently there were no reservations for
schools or minister. The early settlers
petitioned the General Court for grant
for these purposes, but their request was
not complied with"
The petition for the Incorporation OF
Norway, dated Nov. 20, 1895, did ask fol-
such grant from the southern part OF
Greenwood; this was not given them be-
cause the greater part Of 1t had already
been laid out for James Mosher, John
Haskell, and John Akers, being what
has since been known as the Mosher and
Haskell Grant. But grant of six hun.
dred acres was made to the town "fol
the use of the ministry and schools, aud
for the first settled minister" This was
laid out between Gray and Raymond ad'
joining Windham, instructions having
been issued to the state surveyor,
Lothrop Lewis. May I, 1904. Mr.. Lewis
caused the grant to be laid out by Johr
K. Smith, who, with his chainmen,
Moses Hodgdon aud Ebenezer Smith,
took the customary oaths, 10 December
1905. The return made by Lewis was
dated Dec 80, 1903.

It will be seen from this statement OF
facts that the last clause quoted from

probably by the burning of the towr
