of McGill university preached two
exceptionally fine sermons. In the
morning from Col. 81, eff We then be
risen with Christ. seek ye those things
that are from above " In the even
ing he spoke from Mark 2:3, "And
they came unto him bringing one sick
of the palsy borne of FOUR" empha-
sizing the thought that if the world is
to be brought to Christ each one of US
must be ready to take up our corner
of the burden, as determinedly as did
these four young men who brought
the palsied man to Christ. Mr.. Booth
is a young man Of fine ability, showing
that the Dominion must provide the
best of training, although he has also
been to Harvard.
At the morning service the choir
sang the beautiful anthem, Just AS
Am without One Plea" music from
Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana. -
One of those devotion-compelling,
never-to be- forgotten airs.
The Gospel songs of the evening led
by the choir were, very enjoyable. :.

superintendent of st. Johnsbury, will
preach both morning and evening.

The Piilsbury Baldwin Company.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian of
last week contains the following. The
PilIsbury Baldwin company has filed
petition in bankruptcy with Clerk F.
s. PIatt Of the United States courts.
The petition gives liabilities of $751;
845. 81 and assets of $34, ,279.41.
This petition is the result of a suit
in chancery brought by the receiver of
the original company in Barton re-
straining the ST. Johnsbury company
from dIsposing of its assets. In this
suit the claim is made that the origi-
nal company Of Barton was ins0lvent at
the time it sold its property to the St.
Johnsbury company and therefore had
no right to dispose OF its property.
It is simply an effort of the common
stock holders to put through their
schemes of mulcting the preferred
stockholders in this town in the deal
of establishing the factory here. 1t
will result no doubt in closing up the
affairs of the company at consider
able loss to those who invested money
in the company for the purpose of
helping develop st. Johnsbury manu-
featuring.

J. c. Rockwelps Sunny South Company

That uncommonly strong combina-
tion of colored talent, known as the
J. c. Rockwell "Sunny South" CON-
pany, the show that never disappoints,
the one that never misrepresents. is
announced to appear in the opera
house. at Barton Wednesday evening,
Oct. 18th. This company was seen
here two years ago and at that time it
made good every promise. delivering
the goods just as advertised. This
season Mr.. Rockwell claims to have
the newest. freshest, most artistic and
thoroughly equipped colored show ever
sent on tour. He backs his claim and
arrests public attention by presenting
an ideal musical performance that has
more up to-date novelties and ORIGINAL
ideas than any similar organization.
AS on it's former visit it will be found
to be clean to fault and during the
entire performance there is not a line
nor an action to which exception can
be taken. The fun. which will be
handed over the footlights, is all new
and needs no arrow to point the way
to the laughs. There are twenty jolly,
catchy and brilliant musical numbers
and the olio is replete with several of
the highest class vaudeville stunts
The action is spirited and there is
plenty of sweet. catchy music, dances
and features sufficient to make the
most fastldious seeker after amuse
ment, sit up and take notice. The
organization is accompanied by sole
concert band and a superb orchestra
The band will head the "Koontown''
parade, taking place at noon. The
! prices OF admission have been placed
at 35 and SO cents. Seats are now
selling at Pierce's.

Congregational Church Notes.

The home missionary meeting will
meet with Mrs. Borland Tuesday
afternoon Oct. 18th. A short program
will be given.
The Christian Endeavor topic Sunday
evening was, "How to Make This the
Best Year in the Society's History" :"
and the meeting was one Of much
interest," and enthusiasm, of the kind,
we are sure, that must bring results.
1t was decided that, humanity speak
ing, IF should not be considered in the
years plans. A mission study class
was formed and determination
shown to use some of the energy for
Christ that has formerly been expend-
ed for selfish interests.
The G. E. society has purchased and
placed in the vestry new tungsten
lights which makes it much brighter.
