for truth and purity and goodness,
men have dared to die. The greatest
weapons are not of roce but of a
more subtle power.
Other affirmatiens of the age of
doubt are the supremacy of spirit
and the ultimate reality of personal

nothing real but personality, no ere

WELLS RIVER TINE TABLE.
Railroads New Schedule Goes Into
Eject June 20 and Contains Several
Changes.

The summer time table, which goes
into effect Monday morning at 12:Ol
has been issued by the Montpelier and
Wells River road and contains some
radical changes in time, so that those
who travel this road would do well to
become familiar with the new time
before Monday. Owing to the fact that
the Boston and Maine adopts earlier
time for most of its trains the Wells
River road trains will leave and ar
rive at the local station earlier than
at present.
The train now leaving here for
Wells River al s o'clock will leave ut
7:45. The train now leaving at ITO
is unchanged. The mixed will leave at
$3.50 instead of 4:1O.
The trains arriving here win SUR
in at $50; 11;15 and 5;22, being ear
lier in each case.
The trains for Barre VII lea e at
$50; $50; 1920; 200; 1893 and
sos, being earlier in most ca es.
There will be no White fountain
train this year, but an extra car has
been placed on the mixed train to ac-
commodate the traffic generally handi-
ed on that train and for the campers
who frequent Groton and Niggerhead
over Sunday.

change in the manner of thought it.
Iself
There are many kinds of doubt
There is superficial doubt, the doubt
of the boy who doesn't know better
of the man who has not found him
tself, of the man who has not digested
the truth. There is another-a shad-
owy doubt, such as followed Matthew
Arnold, unhappy in the experience OF
those who entertain it. Much is
changing. Much has been overturn-
ed. The larger aspects of our time
have been positive Out of the stress
of great interior forces new contin-
ents are being born. What are the
things which are emerging?
The first affirmation of an age of
doubt is the necessity of faith Faith
has not been put out of the reason
able thinking men. Many things
have changed. Profounder adjust
ments have been necessary, but faith
is supreme as ever before
1t has been attacked on all sides.
There have been those who said we
We had no right to raith. knowledge
was the only reasonable realm and
any affirmation outside of that which
we knew was weakness and not
strength.
They We're going to deny our in
heritance in the unseen and eternal
We cannot live without faith We
cannot answer questions with the
things we know and feel by the mach
inery of reason. I believe said
Bernard, because / know You must
believe something before you know
step before you have ascertained
whether that upon which you are
about to step will bear your weight,
you will stand still forever, werever
you happen to be. Faith is coming
back to possess the shores, shores
which are extending to a breadth
they never had before Our little Is
lands of certainty is surrounded by
a sea of mystery, but it is no lonely
sea but the sea of the truth OF God
The second affirmation is the SUI
premacy of righteousness. Right
eousness is as supreme as ever. The
profoundest distinction isthe distinc-
ton between good and bad. When
you go as deep into things that you
can go no deeper you find the roots
of righteousness.
THE third affirmation is what has
been called the cosmic roots OF self
sacrifice Men tell us that unself-
ishness doesn't pay and that the
strongest conquer; that there is mol
place for mothers love and the
Cross of Christ and there is no place
for tenderness and sentiment and ev-
erything becomes hard But we are
beginning not to beiieve in this for
mula of incarnate selfishness. This
is not all battle for self but a battle
for someone else besides. For the
sake of the newborn and the unborn,
for that which is holy and sacrifcial,

The teacher pondered. And Annie

that, another leap in an effort to
shake the hook from his mouth, a
dive to bottom in the endeavor to
wind the leader about a weed or root
the bass knows all the tricks of the
fishes, and is always springing some
thing new on the fisherman.
Almost any large fly is good for
bass-black and white, red, yellow,
green and gray If none of those
prove enticing tie on a small trout
| fly of somber color and that may
serve. 1t is often wise to sink the
fly from an inch to a foot and keep
! it moving through the water. When
the bass are taking the fly they will
continue far into the night, but the
fly used at that time should have
plenty of white in it that it may be
seen.
The bass is so erratic that nothing
positive can be predicated regarding
his haunts, when he feeds or what he
prefers to feed upon. The wise fish
erman goes prepared with all sorts
of bait and flies and then wishes he
had brought more. The writer re-
members seeing a dozen fine bass TAX
en- after 10 o'clock at night, when
the sky was clouded and the wind was
blowing hard, from a boat anchored
not 20 yards from shore in compare
atively shallow water. He has seen
them taken in the same pond in the
same day, with flies, with minnows and
with worms; under lily pads in less
than two feet of water, by trolling
across the pond and still fishing in
20 feet of water.
Bait casting IS becoming the most
popular way of taking these fish,
though lot much practiced in this vi
cinity. The rod used for this purpose
is shorter and SITTER than that used
for ordinary fishing. The bait is cast
with free reel and considerable skill
is required to place it in the desired
running and tangling the line.
" whatever way it is taken, the
bass furnishes the finest kind of sport,
and keeps the fisherman guessing from
the time he vets his line till he lands
the fish.
No distinction is here made between
the large mouth and small mouth
bass. Their general appearance is
much the same. The former grows
to larger size and the latter is con-
sidered more gamy and better eating.
The most noticeable point of differ |
ence is that in the large mouth bass
the jaw runs farther back than the |
eye, while in the small mouth it does
not
The distribution of this fish is al |
most as wide as that OF the trout and
it will thrive in water of too high
temperature for the trout. 1t has
greater variety of names than any
other fish-Oswego or Swago bass, !

The bass canIiO, ~ artificially pro-
pagated like the trout, but it's care
for the spawning bed and the young

centage of fry is about as large as
could be expected from the most care |

stations are simply placed !
in properly constructed ponds with
suitable opportunities ror making
their spawning beds and care is taken
to preserve the old and the young
fish from their natural enemies.

manner Mr.. DeBoer welcomed the

that denomination, when he attended
mission school as a newsboy on the
streets of Albany. Mr.. DeBoer paid
a high tribute to Mr.. Buckham. AS

stronghold of the Congregationalists
We will not fail to have the doctrine
