The state board of library COM
missioners has accepted the resigna-
ton of Miss Frances Hobart, who
for six years has been secretary OF
the board. Miss Hobart's many
friends as we'll as the members OF
the board regret that the state has
lost the services of one who was SC
interchangeable in her zeal to advance
library work. The vacancy has been
filed by tho appointment of Miss
Rebecca Wright of Montpelier. Miss
Wright is graduate of Radcliffe
college and of the library school in
Albany, and has had experience both
in the Boston Athenaeum and in the
Seattle Public library. Recently
Miss Wright reorganized the Aldrich
library in Barre. Vt, after which she
accepted the position of cataloguer
in the Kellogg-Hubbard library OF
Montpelier.
The General Theological Library
Of Boston will send free to ministers
books ON religion, theology, philoso-
ply and sociology. The library offers
to pay postage both ways on books
borrowed by clergymen in the
smaller towns and villages. A guar
terly bulletin published by the
library gives the main facts in regard
to this excellent work. Application
should be made to Miss Mary Pills

puaussne,a First Eiaht.

Admiral Duquesne, the famous
French naval hero, was the son of a
shipbuilder and at the age of sevenl
teen was placed in command of one
of his fathers vessels. He sailed
forth, espied a Dutch vessel, board
ed it, compelled it to surrender and
brought it into port. Not until he
had been carried through the streets
in triumph on the shoulders of his
fellow townsmen did it occur to the
officials that France and Holland
were at peace. That fact being ad-
mitted, legal proceedings had to fol
low, as the result of which the
youthful captain was warned to be
more careful another time. Richie
lieu, however, heard Of his exploit
and, without considering the COM
ity of nations, offered him COM
mission in the navy.

Real Church Unity in Proctor.

In the village of Proctor, Rutland
county. VT, the problem of church
unity has been practically solved,
says Suburban Life. Previous to it's
organization there had been no Prot
estant church in Proctor. There had
been chapel in which had been
held Sunday school services for
Protestants, but in 1889 the chapel
burned and the people faced the
question OF rebuilding.
They felt that the time had come
for church organization and the
question arose as to whether they
should separate and seek to build
up Methodist and Congregational
churches, those two denominations
comprising the larger part of the
communicates, or unite organically
Having worked together harmoni-
ously in the Sunday school they de-
cided to attempt real union church.
That church was organized, has been
in existence ever since, has been
supplied by clergymen of both de-
nominations and was. never 80 har-
monious, united and aggressive as it
is today.
There is modern church edifice
built of marble valued at $35 900,
and plans are now under way for the
building of a parish house, for which
a fund has been raised. The church
policy is independent and undenom-
national.
The financial organization is an
Incorporated body whose member
ship includes some who are not
members of the church. The regu-
lar business of the society is done
through board Of six stewards, per-
petuating an Office and title peculiar
to Methodism. Thus there is per-
feet blending of Methodist and Con-
gregational methods in the governing
board.
Proctor is cosmopolitan village
and there is in consequence a gath
ering of nationalities like that in
Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost.
These people come from the utter
most parts of the earth, and that they
are influenced by this model church
is seen by the fact that i'll the mem
bership are to be found English
Welsh, Manxmen, Hungarians. Ger
mans, Swedes and Spanish, besides
native born Americans. Yet they
live together in unity. The Sunday
school enrolls, besides those already
mentioned, Italians, Poles and Fin.
landers; and the parish includes
with this heterogeneous aggregation
Norwegians. Bohelnians and doubt
less other nationalities.
