Victory for Academy.
St. Johnsbury Academy Defeated Littleton
High School Saturday.

One touchdown, made by Fisk with
but two minutes to play was enough to-
give St. Johnsbury Academy victory
over Littleton High School on the cam
pus Saturday afternoon. The teams
lined up with the Granite state boys
noticeably heavier, but they could do
nothing against the impregnable local
line. The nearest they got to the
academy goal line was the IS yard
mark while St. ]. A. threatened several
times to rush the pig skin over in the
first half only to get over-anxious and
receive penalties. 1t was foot ball of the
old and approved methods throughout,
neither team trying out the new plays,
and the gains were principally PUSHES
through the line with an occasional end
run. The first and only touchdown was
made after Quarterback Frost had
alternately sent Gray and Fisk through
Littleton line and had rushed the ball
from the center of the field. while the
timekeepers were counting of the
seconds in the last two minutes of play
A. Houle directed his team like veteran
while Fogg, Fosdick and Mccarthy also
showed a considerable knowledge OF
how foot ball should be played. This
was the academy teams second game
and the excellent showing they made
against the fast New Hampshire eleven
has certainly put them in right with the
student body. The score:

EDUCATION.


AS agriculture in it's diversified forms
is the basis upon which progress and
prosperity must stand, it is highly essen
tial that the farmer should have broad,
liberal education. THE best school
house in the world" says Yale profess
sor, is an eastern farm where variety of
work goes on" But in addition to this
your commissioner believes that special
training in agriculture is desirable ac-
QUESTION, and to be most efficient, should
be taken up in the public schools. This
gives the farm boy an opportunity to
learn the science of his avocation and
paves the way for higher education in
our State Agricultural college.
Our experiment station is doing well
her part to attract and instruct the
young men in scientific agriculture, and
increased interest in the station work is
becoming manifest throughout the state.
Agriculture is the most noble employ
ment of man and so we, as a state,
should put forth every effort to further
the thought, the culture, the statesman
ship that is rightly ours by heritage from
our Puritan fathers whose brains and
Drawn were developed among the forest
clad hills of old New England

INTERPRETATIONS
OF CHRIST BY THE
REV. H. NJ. MELLEN
Pastor Discusses Various Atti-
tudes Toward the Saviour at
Christ Reformed Church.

interpretations of Christ" with the
text, John Xxx. Is, "%Supposing Him tc
be the gardener" was the topic of q
sermon by the Rev. Henry Merle Mel
len at Christ Reformed Church yester.
day.
1.-The simplicity of this story of long
g argues for it's tr%uthfulness," said
he. More simple and direct manner OF
narrative could hardly be used. The
simplicity, the sincerity, the conviction
and the responsiveness of it all are the
true signs of its authenticity.
1.-THE spiritual sense of Mary Magda-
lene, deadened for the time being, fails
to catch the meaning of the risen Lord
until His voice brings her back to the
promises and purposes of His resur-
r~ection. The spiritual blindness of Mary
M~agdalene is a type of Christian short
sightedness that clings to us all.
THE early church emphasized its
creeds and dogmatic expressions, com

degree interpreted Christ as calling

ma, men stripped Him of His glory as
a personal savior. They presented Hin
to men as a mere dogmatic formula.
They gave to men the stone of offense
instead of giving them the bread of
life.
1.-The church of the middle ages made
a similar mistake. The church idea had
full sway. The Christ was interpreted
as a being relentlessly casting men
into hell-fire like so many dead flies.
The prosecutions, the theological
wrangles, the warping OF mems spirit
ual instincts, were neutrality-suspicious.
of the Man of Sorrows. Surprising Him
to be an exalted pontiff or a regal
spiritual tyrant, they painted Him as
one who was in contradiction with the
gospel picture of Jesus
1.-The Christianity of our day, while
advanced and world wide, is not a unit
in it's conception of Christ-so many
cults and creeds and all manner of
p%latitudinous interpretations. The fun
damental truth of His redeeming power
is lost sight of, however, in the multi
tude of good institutions, laudable
movements and moral efforts in His
name.
However true they may be they be-
come of no effect until we catch the
glimpse of Gethsemane in His face and
the love of the soul over His words.
Surprising Him to be the gardener
merely in h garden of high moral en-
deavor and aspirations, we are apt to
forget that until He is welcomed as
the friend of the soul and the saviour
of men from their sins, we withhold
from Him His heavenly diadem.
Christ is the divine friend, the holy
inspiration from on high. the Saviour CT
the mans sou from sin and spiritual
desolation."

NINELAND, Feb. 1.-The Rev. DR..
John Handley, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church here, held
a special service last night in honor of
Captain Inman Sealby, who comes from
Fineland, and talked of his bravery in
remaining on the steamship Republic

Massachusetts. On the pulpit platform
We're grouped trophies won by Captain
Sealby for bravery on the ocean
I'VE do not wish it to be said that "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his W country" said DR.. Handley,
Tor we felt a thrill of pride and great
delight as we read of Captain Sealby's
brilliant management of the Republic
from the m she was rammed by
the Florida. The more information re-
ceived touching the disaster the more
evident became the captains skill, for
titude and good sense. Surely he was
the right man in the right place.

ONTCOMPROM|SE
YOUR MORALS, DR..
MCDOWELL WARNS
Daniels Life an Example to
Young Men Who Must Fight
Worlds Temptations.

Daniel. the MAJ Whose Surround
ings Were Against Him." was the sub
ject of the Rev. John McDowelfs SER
mon in the Park Presbyterian Church
last night. Mr.. Mcdowell spoke in
part as follows:
Daniel, the young Jewish exile in
Babylon. is a splendid example of a
young man who refused to be con-
quered by adverse circumstances His
record shows clearly hat a man can
live a clean life even in "a wicked city.
No young man ever faced a harder
battle than did Daniel. He was away
from home, away from friends, away
from the common restraints of his as
so~ciations-a full-blooded young man in
a great wicked, pagan city. Notwith-
standing all the inward impulses of his
young life, and the outward tempta-
tions, Daniel won out and his record
stands today as. an inspiration and
challenge to the modern young man.
Daniels history refutes many mod
ern maxims offered to young men by
the school of moral compromise, such
as we must wink at many things
Daniel never learned the wicked art of
closing the eye When in moral danger;
he felt that at such times he needed
unusual moral eyesight.
1T is evident that Daniel took no
stock in hat old inc vicious sugges-
ton, When in Rome do as the Romans
do This young hero could not make
himself believe hat his company ought
to determine his moral attire. There
was nothing of the chameleon in Dan
iel; he was true-blue in all circum-
stances. Possibly no one MAXIM has done
more to undermine the moral life of
young men than this chameleon phil
osophy' of allowing you circumstances
to determine your character. Many a
fine young fellow has begun a down
var journey by yielding to this I'M
worthy principle.
"Moral compromise is the first step
in moral degeneration. 1t is always
taken at the expense of a mans moral
power and as a rule ends in moral
death.
1.-THE secret of Daniels victorious
life In the midst of surroundings which
were against him is found. first, in his
noble purpose, I will not defle myself
and, second, his unfaltering faith in
his God"

SOLDIERS ACTS
HURT MISSIONS,
PASTOR DECLARES
The Rev. 7. Arid Mofiat Speaks
on the Reflex Influence of
Foreign Work.

The Rev. Z. Arid Moffat, pastor of
the First Congregational JUDE Memorial
Church. preached yesterday the third
of his month-end missionary sermons
on 1.-THE Reflex Influence of Foreign
Missions on the Home Churches. He
said in part:
THE contribution of foreign missions
to the life of the home churches ana
the home land include the following
items: A new adventure literature Is
being written and the heroes are not
mock, but real. Its influence Is Whoie-
some, and in these days when the am
of wal is hushed awhile and the sort
voice of peace is being heard, it is we'll
to emphasize the fact that there nave
been other brave heroes than soldiers
and that noble ives have found man
lier service han spreading death n
suffering. Thrilling beyond common eX-
p~ectation are these tales of u modern
missionary martyrs. The homeland Is
indebted to the foreign missionary, too
for the correction of certain bad I'M
pressions of Christendom which have
beer made too often by the soldiery ana
the traders. The Chinese of the Shang-
hal district are not unawar of the
'Foochow Road that great street or
hrothels in the foreign concession of
Shanghai. They are not blind to the
fact that in the town of Tungchow
alone 573 high-class Chinese women
committed suicide after the armies had
passed in 1900, rather than survive
their shame. A trail of rapine and out
rag extended behind the troops from
Pekin to the sea. Down to this day the
Old Chinese families in Chefoo, in the
section occupied by the French army in
1860. will not admit a foreigner across
their thresholds. We have stolen their
harbors from them. We have thrust
our poisons upon them. Are the men of
the West demons? Surely they must so
think of us unless our missionaries car
~ the other story restoring the balance
somewhat. Then the standard of life
and conduct set by the missionary, de-
mands that we shall try to live up to
what they are being taught to expect
of us. This demand is urgent and
wholesome.
"Ine foreign mission work provides a
field of action for the more heroic and
choice souls among us. Under the
growth of their noble qualities the
church is led by them to new heights
of experience and service. The sacri-
fees of the missionary shame our COM
mon complacency and tone our hearts
to the pitch of actual self-denial. The
s~elf-sacrifice of the native Christians in
their monetary gifts stirs us to new de-
Votion. Their faith playing through the
peculiar makeup of their type of mind
adds new features to the concept Of
Christ and Christianity, greatly enrich
ing it"

APOSTOLATE FATHERS
TO CONDUCT MISSION.
Former NeWspaperman to Lead
Services in St. PatriCk's Parish.

Beginning ON February u there will
be a two weeks mission at st. Pat
rick's Cathedral. 1t is to be conducted
by the Apostolate Fathers, and will be
led by a former newspaper man. who
served as Washington correspondent
for one of the New York dailies, but
finally gave up that profession for the
priesthood.
In speaking of the mission .yester-
day, the Rev, Isaac 2. Whelan, rector
of st. Patrick's Cathedral. said:
1t should be clearly understood hat
the mission is for members of the
cathedral parish only, for ours is Il
central parish, and if people came from
outside parishes all of our own peo-
pie could not make the mission.
THE priests who will give the mis-
sion work in all parts of the United
States, and are specially trained for
mission work. They devote all their
ability, energy and thought to it, and
their mo are suited to the great
work they are engaged in, the bring

munion for a long time, and giving Of

POOR

Y is well-known hat the children of
the poor are often made to suffer
at the hands of the children of the
well-t der They are sighted. often
insulted, on account of their poverty.
Their old and patched clothing is
laughed at; their uncouth manner
often make them the butt of those
who's own manners. need mending. But
if the children of the poor would turn
their faces away from those who scorn
them n pursue their way earnestly,
brayely, they may see the day when
they will look down from superior po-
sitions Upon those who have but money
to rest upon. In the pages OF history
we find the glorified names Of heroes,
great geniuses, statesmen. who came
from the lower walks of life. One
great man has told us that genius is
rocked in the cradle of poverty ana
obscurity. Money may give pleasure,
ease, advantages, but it does lot
always prove advantageous to the
youth. Indeed, it often curbs, or
smothers altogether, his ambition. The
poo boy realizes hat with himself
alone rests his future. He works like
q hero to gain his goal. The rich boy
too often let's his money work for him.
And in the end the child of the poor
may prove the master in science. art,
craftsmanship, becoming a leader of
men, while his rich schoolmate may
develop into an ordinary man without
ability to take care of the fortune
which has fallen to him..
Poor children have nothing to he
ashamed of. Every path is open to
them. and the petty trials attending
their earlier school days-the Sights
and insults of their richer classmates
should be to them simply trifles, In
stead of suffering from injured feel
ings. or holding in their hearts envy
or hatred against the children of the
rich. they should feel only pity for
those who so far forget themselves and
their duty toward their less fortunate
classmates that they can stoop t.
such unworthy behavior. The noble
boy and girl never allow money to in
fiuepce them 1t is ability. earnestness
and worth that counts for everything
