the services held in the Hedding church
We're most interesting, helpful and in
spring. A large congregation gathered
at the morning hour OF worship. The
music was well rendered and Mr.. Stew

/ The speaker held his congregation in the
uplifting vision he presented of the
larger life, lived not for self but for
God. Argument. description, Illustration,
the grip of the appeal to reason and
conscience held the attention OF everyone
present until the last word was spoken.
Again in the Sunday school, with a help
ful song by Mr.. Stewart and another in
teresting and practical address by DIR.
Stewart on, Getting Ready to Live"
the days influences for good were telling
in their effect ON young and old. Such
bright, breezy, helpful address in theSun-
day school should have found every
scholar there, and next Sunday, when DR..
Stewart speaks again to the school,
every member should plan to be present.
Again at the mems meeting at 2;45.
after fine selection by the Hedding
male chorus and Mr.. Stewart had given
another splendid solo, DIR. Stewart gave
practical inspirational address on
Success or Failure" More of our Barre
men ought to have been present. With
such a speaker and our needs in Barre,
as in every city, what an opportunity
might be seized for good if, next Sunday
afternoon, there might be mass meet
ing worthy of the occasion at the opera
house, when Dr. Stewart might give an
address on "The Present Crisis in Ameri-
can Public Life" We trust there may
be an opportunity for such meeting.

fourth service of the day. The Mont.
peier seminary orchestra and a number
of the seminary students were heartily
welcomed at this service. Over 450 peo-
pie were present notwithstanding the
