Greeting:
Dear Friends-Your recent COM
municatiOn relative to the union of
our two churches has been engaging
our careful attention. We are i'm
pressed with the fact that this in
PRODUCES a question of serious i'm
portance, that should be considered
candidly and prayerfully.
You have expressed the opinion
that our union would be for the
best interests of the community,
tending toward greater religious
efficiency. If we could be assured
of such result, it would be our duty
to look favorably on the PROPOSE
ton. Our view of the situation in
clines us toward the contrary
opinion. We fear that the sense of
personal responsibility would not
rest so strongly, nor upon so mary,
as it now does; and that the stimu-
lus to religious activity would Suf-
fer relaxation. Unless some more
decisive indication of divine PrOvi-
dence points toward reunion, we
think it would be unwise to change
present conditions.
For more than so years these
two churches of the same family
have carried on with friendly coop
Grafton the one work given us to
do. With kindly interest in each 9TH
er's welfare, we trust that each, in
our own place as heretofore. may be

Blacksmith shop IS Miles Away

10 AWAY
Gaysville, VT, July 20. The an
nouncement that the blacksmith
shop would close soon, caused
good deal of excitment among the
towns people, as the shop is the
only one between Bethel and Roch-
ester, a distance of Ii miles. Until
last winter the shop was owned by
inexperienced men, causing trouble
and worry to the people. e. L. Os-
good purchased the shop and tools,
stocked it, and hired good black
smith. Business came in such a rush
that Mr.. Osgood has had trouble in
keeping men, although he pays the
highest prices, and furnishes a two

blacksmith shop, wheelwright shop,
stock aud tools, hen houses, ice
house, garden, apple trees, pasture
for COW, ETC., rent free.
The six lumber camps are wonder
ing what they viii do. The farmers
say they can not go Is miles. Mr..
Osgood is urged not to close his
shop, but he has other business and
has decided to sell or rent Adv.
