Congregational

The pastor occupied the pulpit at the
Congregational church Sunday taking for
his text Romans S:37, "Nay in all these
things we are more than conquorers
through him who loved u.s." Emphasis
was placed on the fact, substantiated by
the history of nations and by human eX-
perience, that the greatest glory does not
always belong to the conquorer. Quite
often it is a greater glory to be conquered
than to be victor. To be righteous vic
tim is preferable to being an INSCRIPTIONS
conquorer.
1t was greater glory Paul insisted to
suffer tribulation, or distress, or persecu-
ton, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,
or sword; indeed to be killed all the day
long than to be nefarious victor and be
separated from the love of Christ.
On Friday afternoon the annual Thank
Offering service of the ladies will be held
at the parsonage at o'clock. All the
ladies of the parish are cordially invited
to this service.
The Sunday school session was inter-
esting, as usual, there being 1872 present.
AS there were Sc absent, it will be seen
that the enrolment is slightly increased.

UniVerSaIiSt

A representative congregation assem-
bled at the Universalist church Sunday
morning. The music of the service was
in charge of the regular choir. The ser
mon by the pastor. Rev. Otto S. Raspe,
was preached from two texts, both taken
from the story of Christ's TRANSPORTATION
as reported by Mark and Luke. Mark 9:2.
" And he was TRANSPORTED before them.'
Luke 9:29, "And as he prayed the fashion
of his countenance was altered and his
raiment was white and glistering." The
subject was The TRANSPORTATION of the
Soul-Translucent to the Divine" In
the course of the sermon Mr.. Raspe
said: 1.-THE mountain of TRANSPORTATION
has its spiritual analogy in every human
SOUL 1t is intensely real. Man was
never made to grope in the darkness of
the valleys; his face is fairest when H.
Illuminated by a monday sun. He is
happiest when his soul is radiant with
the celestial light which beams from the
mountain heights of truth and love, We
rise spiritually from the valleys of error,
superstition and sin when we allow the
Eternal Will to guide, strengthen and
beautify our lives. To become conscious
of our divine selves is to experience that
subtle transformation which marks the
man over the brute. Inherent in the
soul of every weary wanderer upon the
face OF the earth is that religious senti-
ment which when once awakened flows
continually from the human breast
towards God. Love, true justice these
are the harmonious notes that shall bring
humanity into sweet harmony with the
spiritual life and shall transfgure the
souls of men. rendering them translu-
cent to the Divine"
In the evening a larger congregation
than in the morning assembled to hear
the boy choir. Eleven boys took part all
being fully robed in white surplices with
black skirts. The pastor gave short
talk on Love-" The boys who took
part were: Harold and Lyle Tillotson,
Edward and Elwood Emmons, Herbert
Towne, Seth Peck, Wendall Gill, James
Billings, Kenneth Hughes, Edward Sea-
yer. Ballou Towne and Harold ODER
also belong to the organization. The
choir was in charge of Mark Cutting.

F" Move On " MorriSville

Hardwick people are joining the towns
which have been struck with the "move
on" spirit and at largely attended
meeting held last Wednesday night, Or
ganized village improvement associa-
ton and also discussed means of making
Hardwick "move on" with the process
sion. After reading reportof the meeting
it is evident that the granite burg means
business and it is also easy to imagine
that hustling village at the head of the
lire of march.
The band lent their services for the
occasion and the clergymen, business
and professional men, stone cutters, and
last, but by no means least, the ladies all
were actively represented at the meeting.
The different needs of the village were
presented and intelligently discussed by
representative citizens, after which COM
mittee of five, two gentlemen and three
ladies were chosen to perfect the organi-
cation.
Morrisville has village improvement
in the past few years. 1t is a department
of the Woman's Club. The good work
of the ladies through this medium is too
well-known to need emphasis here.
Morrisville also has Board of Trade
but at present it reminds one of the boy
who said his father was a Christian but
wasn't doing much at it lust now,
Now these organizations are both good
and are naturally composed of men and
women who would like to place and
keep Morrisville in the "move on !"
column. Why not consolidate or form an
independent Village improvement Soci-
ETY.? There is much still to be done in
the improvement line in Morrisville and
a concerted movement by the community
is sure to produce more results than any
efforts put forth by single organization.
Talk it up.

Per Diem Charges by Vermont Officials
Barre Times)

Former Railroad Commissioner George
| II. Howard, while not completely trium-
phant Ia his contention with the state of

he probably feels great deal of satisfac-
ton. In its opinion handed down yester-
day, the Vermont supreme court has
settled 1t pretty effectually that" junket-
| ing" by state officials outside of the con-
duct of the affairs of their office, Is not
permissible, but that state official is
Justified in charging the state Of Vermont
a per diem and expenses for time spent
in going to or from his residence to the
place of his work under reasonable con-
ditions of transportation, as we'll as for
the time that he actually spends on his
official work. That is, when an official
Is forced by circumstances of location to
remain away from home over Sunday he
is to be allowed the regular charges
against the state treasury. Likewise,
when residing off the railroad lines he is
not required to drive during the light
time to the nearest railroad station in
order to start from home ON the same
day that his official work begins; but he
is to be allowed to start from his / ONE
the day previously and drive on that day
, the nearest railroad station to take the
lain the next morning, while at the
SINE time charging for tie day that he
| actually starts ION home.
Shere are few instances in which this
particular question will ever arise again,
because there are few towns SO situated
IaS Craftsbury, the residing place of form
er railroad Commissioner Howard; but
somewhat similar cases might, and do,
happen where state officials residing in
ithe extreme southern part of the state
pave to come to Montpelier to transact
their business. In order to be in Mont
pelier on stated date they are required
20 leave their homes on the day previous
ly and they should be recompensed for
the day that they start from home. The
same principles applies to Mr.. Towards !
