en9Hr turn to trace In the study Of
Dl(DA the last chapter Of tho proph-
wv ecy Of Hosea the hand Of God
in Israers history. During a long period
commencing with Jereboam II, who made
Israel to prosper. Hosea became the lead
ing personality of Israel. He was not de-
ceived by the marvellous development OF
Israers resources and the expansion Of
the limits Of the kingdom until its pres
tige. power and prosperity equaled that
of Solomon. The prophet realized that
the glory Of Jereboam's administration
was in eclipse. The prosperity that had
attended his reign was full Of peril. The
people had become self-conddent and for
gotten God. Hosea saw the handwriting OF
God in the affairs Of men. In the darkest
hours Of IEaers history the prophet
kept the light of hope burning because
Of Gods love. before Israel. Hosea saw
Israel Fastening rapidly toward the rap
ids of destruction. 1t was rent by fac
tons, dismembered by wars. losing under
weak rulers dependencies one after the
other. Samaria, the proud capital city,
became a suppliant before the army Of
Assyria. His own sad domestic expert
ence led him to understand the cause OF
Israel's threatened destruction Through
bitter family trials he came to understand
the love of God. Filled with the hope for
his nation that this knowledge gave him,
Hosea sounded the note OF recall and
sought to turn the nation from its path
way of doom.
Anarchy that revealed itself by rap
idly changing dynasties was not the
cause Of Israel's doom. but revelation
of the source Of the nations weakness
The cause of anarchy and the threatened
national peril was Identical. Sin was the
root of the evil that produced 1srael's
calamity. From the days Of the Jere-
boam who made Israel to sin" unto
the end Of their history not one OF her
kings trusted God to keep his throne.
The turning away from God. and failure
to return to him. the prophet taught. was
the cause of Israei's waning power.
s'Thou hast fallen by thine iniQuity." Sin
was Israers undOing.

Special Halloween Attraction.
The merry musical extravaganza,
'sThe. Cat and the Fiddle will be
offered at The Colonial on Hal
lowe'en night, Oct. 81.
1t is astonishing how few people
know that many of the Mother Goose
rhymes, so familiar in the nursery,
were not originally written to amuse
the little folks. Take for example
the celebrated and familiar legend
THE Cat and the Fiddle" It was
FIRST written and published to hit
at the extravagances of the nobility
and the foremost men in politics in
the reign of Elizabeth The Virgin
Queen" too, is not spared in the sa-
tirical handling of the simple little
nursey rhyme. 1t is a matter of his
tory that Elizabeth's Court was cele-
brated both in speech and in living,
The plain people looked upon these
scenes of festivity as Vaccinations
of the devil, and dancing especially
was viewed by them as one of his
slyest arts to Wean people from the
rightful course. The cat in those
days was looked upon as a creature
symbolical of witchcraft and evil,
and hence as one of the workers of
the devils Wiles. In the lampoon.
which our present nursery rhyme
really originally was, the Cat was
the personification of the Wickedness
prevailing in Court circles. The Cow
also aimed at the person of the
Queen herself and was a thrust at
her vaulting ambition and vanity,
as is expressed in her jumping over
the moon. The Little Dog, who
laughed to see the fun, was bitter
thrust at the sycophancy of the
couriers who danced attendance at
the feet of their sovereign. "And
the dish ran away with the SPOON"
was meant to convey the result of all
this wicked waste and extravaganza,
signifying that the working people of
England would go hungry for por-
ridge, or that the porridge dish and

WOMAN'S CLUB HOUSE.
improvements at Club House
Stockholders Meeting.

The board of directors and the
special committees of the Woman's
Club House association are busily
engaged in efforts to bring about the
completion of repairs at the club
house and visit to the house shows
that much has already been accom-
plished. A few partitions
have been changed, an arch
way made between the two south
rooms thus throwing three
good sized rooms together, paint and
paper have freshened a number of
the rooms and the house is fast be-
coming ready for occupancy.
The northwest corner room on the
first floor at the left of the entrance
is to be used for a rest room and it
is expected this will be ready for use
the last of this week. It is hoped
this will be freely used by any wom-
en- of the town who desire such a
place to spend some time when shop
ping or otherwise engaged on the
street, also by women coming to
town by train who wish to spend
some time in comfortable place.
It is the plan of the association to
have three chambers to rent to
young women, who wish for pleasant
rooms in house in charge of a COM
petent woman.
Mrs. Frank Eaton, former we'll
known st. Johnsbury resident, has
been engaged as care taker and will
make her home in the house where
she is getting settled this week. She
will have charge of the house and
expects later to cater for small gath
erings that may be held there.

stockholders of this association be-
come interested in the house and the
work that is being done by those. who
have been so actively engaged in it
and by attending the meetings of the
stockholders and taking part in the
discussions for ways and means eacl
one can be of great help to those Wh(
have the work in hand.
A meeting of the stockholders wa
held Thursday afternoon at the c1ul
house, with not very large attend
ance. The matter of the Thanksgiv
ing dinner was considered and thu
support aof the stockholders wal

The success of the recent rummagt
sale was reported and it was sug
gested that all club members reserve
any garments suitable for. such 6
sale as there is a possibility that il
may be made a semi-annual affair. Il
was also suggested that old papers
| be saved by members Of the club
arrangements for the collection o.
which would be made later, and 6
market would be found for them
when a carload was secured. AL
these enterprises are being consider
ed with a view to repair and make
the house ready for occupancy ant
it means much work for those who
are giving of their time and talent
1t is hoped to make this club house
of great benefit not only to the cluI
and club members but to the village
and town in general.

That this achievement by the asso-
citation is an important one VII be
seen from the fact that all Y. M. ..
AS. in the six New England states,
in towns of ten thousand population
and less, only<one according to the
year book for 1901 had over 400
members A membership of 500

the average. Only the splendid work
of the five teams could have
made this result possible.

growth of the membership during
the past seven years. La 1905 there
were 123 members reported; in 1906,
81; in 1907 no report was made; in
1908 there were 245 members; in
1909, 302; in 1910, 325; and in
%, 1911, $50 members.
