Insurance Settled.
The agents of the insurance companies
have settled the insurance with the trus-
tees of the State Hospital for the Insane
at Waterbury and the checks in payment
will soon be received. The loss amount
ed to SIS, 1920 which is about 51a pei
cent of the total insurance, which was
$685. 1888. According to the policies
this insurance is payable to the trustees
and the question was considered by the
trustees whether or not they could not
| take the money and go ahead with the
repairs. The matter was called to the
attention of the attorney general, who
| has given an opinion that the money
should be paid into the State treasury
| like any other income in the hands of tn,
| hospital authorities. The trustees were
of the opinion that this clause in the in
surance policies had escaped the atten
ton of the attorney general.

Congregational Club of Western
Vermont.

The fall meeting was held at Burling-
ton. Monday. Dec. 20, afternoon and
evening. At the afternoon session there
was discussion of "What the Lavman
Wishes of the Minister" opened by Pro-
lessor c. B. Wright of Middlebury Col
lege, and followed by Professor Emerson
and President Buckham of the Univer-
sity of Vermont.
Among other things Prof Wright said
that "any sermon is a good sermon
which makes men listen and then mend
their lives" He said that the minister,
in his opinion, should be like the poet,
listening to the beating of the heart of
things and speaking to the people out of
eternity. Our need today is for preach
ing that points forward and does not
necessarily look backward to the inalities
of Calvin and Edwards.
Professor Emerson thought that def
niteness is the great lack that the ordi-
nary laymen finds in the utterances from
the pulpit. The expression and terms of
theology and of religion have become
more and more indefinite in the last
century or so. The pew does not now
demand authority from the pulpit but it
does demand reality. And this reality
can only be secured by the abnegation of
authority and the substitution of real
experience.
President Buckham delineated the two
opposed types of ministerial character,
the American priest and the great
preacher. He said that the layman
wants both types in one, but he seldom
or never gets his desire. The one is ever
present in the affairs of every day life
with rich sympathy and the other,
from the pulpit, appeals to the intellect.
The address in the evening was by Rev.
Burton w. Lockhart, D. D., upon why
People do not go to Church"
He said that the outstanding charac-
teristic of the: modern era is the aliena-
ton of the community from the church
and there is therefore something wrong
with the modern "Zeitgeist." That
trouble he characterized as a lack of
faith. He did not agree with the
Christian socialists. that socialism
might furnish a solution of society s
modern ailments, and he said that moth
ing is more certain than that Christ was
not socialist.

A Clever Acrobat.

A diverting anecdote is told in can
nails of the Liverpool Stage" of an
unrehearsed episode that occurred at
the Hop. a cheap but popular place Of
entertainment. A troupe Of acrobats
were engaged. and one of their num-
Der gave single turn in which he
displayed his skill as a champion

mischief bent. changed one Of the fif-
ty-six pound weights for one made of
cardboard. The strong mans vision
was impaired by the loss of one eye,
but in this instance not unfortunately
so. He took the first and second
weights, and after having manipulate
ed them he took the third, the one
made of cardboard. Realizing in an
instant what had been done, he as
quickly decided to turn it to his own
advantage by throwing three Zip
flaps" while holding the dummy
weight He was greeted with a per-
feet round of applause. and the audi
ence declared it to be the greatest
feat they had ever witnessed.
