Heb. 2:iS.
Three things deserve special notice
in connection with the scene Of the
baptism of Christ: The baptism it
self. the descending dove, and the
heavenly voice.
The baptism Of Christ is connected
with the fact that Christ was thirty
years old. This was tie age when Le-
vitical priests were set apart and con-
secrate;i to tLe:i, Office. The baptism
therSfore. has reference to the priestly
Office Of Christ. BY submitting to bap-
. tism Jesus identifies himself with the
worlds sin.
Christ's Baptism Jl:en was not per-
sonal-for he himself was siEless
The lesson tells Us that while others.
after their baptism, stood confessing
their sins in the Jordan, ne immedi-
ately went Up out CT the water. for
he had no sins to confess-but Official
and representative Christ submitted
to tie same baptism which the genera
ton Of vipers had received. not be-
cause he vas one Of them, but because
he was their representative, and had
core to take upon himself their sins.
Christ, in submitting to Johns ba2-
tism. set his seal upon the divinely
appointed ministry OF John as the fulss
fl!ment Of the Old Testamen1
prophecy. He recognized in Johns
baptism Gods plan for him, and he
submitted to It without questioning.
If any nian il his own right did not
need baptism, it was Christ. BY this
act. Jesus set his seal upon the rite

the past few months he had been unable
to obtain much work and on Nov. "a he
left home, telling his wife that ne was
going to Sielburne Falls to look for
work as he understood men were being
hired in that town and he had a cousin
employed there. Before going he bought
each member of the family new shoes.
Going to Shelburne Falls he stayed over
night with his cousin. Learning that no
extra help was being hired there, he
went next morning to Colrain, his cousin
going to the station with him, and that
was the last time he was seen alive by
anyone who knew him, so far as is
known.
When he left home he told Mrs. Dom
ovan that if he found work he would
write and if he did not find anything to
do within a few days he would return to
this town. When nothing was heard
from him in more than two weeks Mrs.
Donovan communicated with his broth
err, DR.. j. E. Donovan, who came to
Brattleboro with an officer and obtained
a description of the missing mans cloth
ing. No notice of his disappearance was
given to the Brattleboro police.
John E. Donovan was born in st. AL
bans n was a son of John and Jane
(HalD Donovan. He lived in st. Adams
until after the Spanish-American war,
when he enlisted in the army and served
three years with the 10th infantry in the
Philippines. Upon his discharge he re-
turned home and 10 years ago this month
married Miss Hattie Sickle, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Sickle of
Swanton. After their marriage he work
ed in st. Adams and then moved to
Jamaica, where he was employed on the
steam shovel while the West River
branch was being changed from narrow
to standard gauge. He came here five
years ago and since then had lived with
his family on Clark street. Besides his
wife he leaves a son, Ralph f. Donovan,
3, and a daughter, Ethel A. Donovan, 8,
both pupils in the Canal street school,
four sisters, Miss Marion. Miss Mildred
and Miss Alice of st. Adams and Miss
Anna of Montreal, and four brothers, DR.,

PIONEER IN SOCIALISM.
Mrs Samantha H.. Mortified Was Active
In Work In Behalf of Labor OreanIza-

Mrs. Samantha II. Merrifeld, labor and
Socialist pioneer, who died in RoXbury,
Mass, Dec. %, was born in London
donderry, VT, on Oct. %, 1884, of New
England stock, reaching back to inc be-
yond Revolutionary times. Her maternal
grandfather, whose name was Reed, was
a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Her
father was at first prosperous but then
lost his property, so that while still a
young woman she went to Lowell to
work in the mills. She was married in
Boston to Charles H.. Merrifield, and
after her husbands death, through an
accident not many years later, she re-
turned to the Lowell mills.
This early experience opened her eyes
to the condition of the working class and
decided the bent of her life. With two
young daughters to support and bring
up, and with no one to aid her, she
faced the world in Boston where she was
to remain the rest of her life. From
that time on she kept a rooming house,
always earning her own living even
while she was in the thick of the labor
battle, and constantly making public ad-
dresses.
1t was in the middle eighties that the
most active portion of her public career
began. She Joined the knights of Labor
and acquired great influence in that or
ganization in Massachusetts. She worked
Will tne tTdut unions anu lutHtlhtu ntr-
self with every radical social movement
in its beginning. Yet it was in socialism,
when it took organized form, that she
found her true mission and did her
greatest work. She was a member of
the Socialist labor party, and of one of
the Boston Nationalist clubs founded
under the influence of Edward Bellamy,
and later Joined the present Socialist par
ty, one of whose candidates for school
committee she was for several years
She was absolutely fearless and her
whole soul was in the cause for which
she worked, with no thought of per-
sonal ambition. Every cause which she
took up was at the loves ebb of unpop-
~ularity, when she championed it. Her
speeches for socialism which were de-
livered In every part of New England,
and which apart from their moral pur-
pose were powerful efforts of oratory,
commanded respect and won belief be-
cause of her intense conviction.
