The new United Presby teri n
church at East Craftsbury was dedl-
Gated Wednesday, Jan. 26. The day
was ideal for such an occasion and
the house was crowded to it's full ca
pacity. 1t was a memorable day for
the congregation of this church as it
marked the completion of task,
which, two or three years ago would
have seemed we'll nigh impossible to
accomplish in so short a time.
Rev. j. A. McKirahan of Ryegate
preached the dedicatory sermon which
was masterful and impressive dis
course. His text was Psalm 48
verses IL and Is. Besides the pastor,
the following ministers took part in
the services, Rev. d. M. McKinlay
of Peacham and Rev. W. A. Pollock
of South Ryegate.
The musical part of the program
was of very high order. Two an
thems taken from the Psalms were
beautifully rendered by the choir in
addition to the songs that were an
nounced and in which the congrega
ton took part.
The report of the building commit.
tee was presented by Alex Shields.
chairman of the committee, who stat.
ed that the total cost of the church
was $3.50 and that the entire amount
had been provided for so that the
church was dedicated free of debt.

Joe shifted his eyes from Morans

gled uneasily in his chair.
"Why-er"- he stammered.

other man, with ominous calm.

lence, with a new determination in his
watery, wavering eyes. His fabby
mouth was drawn in a tight line. Joe
was startled again. but again mas
tered himself He looked back bold
ly. steadfastly, resolved to keep to
himself what he knew.
MOran's next action startled him still
more. The old man took his keys out
of his pocket. unlocked the drawer,
took from it the revolver and slipped
it into the pocket of his overcoat.
Then he left the office without a
further word.
Joe got up and walked up and down.
He was now deeply disturbed, far
more so than he would admit even to
himself. This sudden demonstration
of frmness by the fabby, vacillating,
mounting Moran-weI1, he did not like
it. No man is so dangerous. he knew,
as coward with a gun when he
screws his cowardice up to the stick
ing point.
For whom was that revolver meant:
He cast about in his mind, but
could settle on no particular person,
Moran's hatreds were so all inclusive
social and economic in the aggregate
rather than particular
Or course John j. Haggleton was to
Moran the incarnation of all the evils
of society, including the evil whose
victim Jenny was. But then John j.
was away on his yacht for a three
months cruise, and Moran could not
reach him with pistol across the At
lantic ocean at Gibraltar.

This. was one of the most thrilling
moments during the services. The
congregation was plainly and deeply
impressed by the statement that the
church was being dedicated free from
debt. In closing his report Mr..
Shields expressed the appreciation
and deep gratitude of the officials and
members of the church for the gener-
osity of all the church's friends and
helpers who made it possible to meet
the entire expense. He then formal
ly transferred the keys of the build
ing to James N. Uric. who represent
ed the board Of trustees.
The concluding part of the program
was the solemn and formal service of
defeating the building to the worship
and service Of Almighty God. the Faith
er, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The prayer of dedication was then
offered by the pastor. After singing
the last two verses of the seventy
second psalm to the triumphal tune
of Coronation. the service was dis
missed with the benediction by Rev.
]. A. McKirahan.
The ladies of the congregation then
served light dinner free of charge

WIZ oC9In ouTNcy WoTk. ....-...t
That work ON the survey of the
Des Moines river will be started
within ten days is the belief of prom
inent waterways men interested in
the improvement of the river. Major
e. A. Rowse, who will have charge
of the survey, has practically COM
pleted his preparations and it is ex-
pected that he will commence opera
lions before the end of the month. Ac-
cording to rumors being circulated
among the river enthusiasts Major
Rowse will probably make his head
quarters in Des Moines during the
time taken for the work. The survey
will start from the mouth of the river
and work up the stream to Des
Moines. On March 20 a meeting of
all waterways men in the Des Moines
river valley will be held at Farm
ington. Plans will be made to assist
the engineers in their work. Steps
will be taken to attract as much in
terest as possible on the part of resi-
dents of towns on and near the river.
1t is expected that every town in the
valley will be represented at the
meeting.

by the restrictions of the Iowa code

Big Gain in Bank Deposits.

les MOlneS, Iowa. nat pros
perity has spread her great protect
ing mantle over the old Hawkeye
state as never before is evidenced by
the bank report made public by Aud
itor Bleakly. 1t shows that from Feb
ruary 20, 1909, to February 16, 1910,
the people of Iowa were able to in
crease their deposits in state and saw
ings banks and trust companies by
s27,479, 1888, a record that has new
er been equaled in the history Of the
state. Since November 3 there has
been an increase in the deposits
amounting to over s13,000,000, while
the overdrafts have decreased nearly
half a million dollars. The total as
sets of the bank show an increase Of
over $14,000,000.
At the close Of business February
16 the state and savings banks and
the trust companies owed their de-
positors $250,64S,32S.92, and they had
undivided profits amounting to over
100000. The net increase in banks
since February 20, 1909, was SO, while
the net increase since November 8,
1909, was 10. The average reserve in
all the banks, state and savings, and
trust companies, February 16, 1910,
was 81 per cent. The undivided prof
its show an increase from November
8 to February 16 of $259,209.01.
The fact most pleasing to the state
tFnking department is the big de-
Crease in overdrafts. The department
has constantly preached against over
drafts as dangers, and that the banks
have seen the wisdom of the argument
is a source of qualification to COM
missioner Roberts, Auditor Bleakly
and Chief Clerk Ellis.
