event Members OF the brotherhood,
with saw and hammer, with persuasive
tongue and active personality, had al.
lowed no time TO be lost in careful
preparation and when nj o o'clock last
evening, the marshal, George Mills, saw
TO the seating of the company, II was
found that the large dining rooms was
almost completely filed with people,
there being scarcely chair unoccupied.
There was unanimous approval OF the
excellence OF the supper, TO which each
one did ample justice. The people OF
Vermont are noted rs good cooks, and
the ladies OF the ladies and pastors un-
ion, who had this in charge, most GER,
tainly did their work well. Y
About O'Clock, the toastmaster, Fg
d. Hathaway. in neat speech, intro
duced the first speaker. Attorney y. X.
Davis, who responded TO the toast, "A
Happy New Year of 1919. 1t was well
put, with strength of thought and well
worded; the spiritual should have its
place amid the necessary material. With
regret it was learned that Attorney Nj.
NJ. Gordon was called out of town and
could not be present to respond TO the
toast of "The Past OF 1872.
With most happy introduction for
zach speaker, Mr., Hathaway called on
the following: c. S. Cushman spoke
on Currents, not only those relating
to electricity, but life and influence cur
rents. Vivtor Smith told of "Opportu.
nityp that can be seized and utilized for
good. DIR. L. d. Martin spoke Of "Ad.
justment", bringing in many excellent
Illustrations to show how life may be
lived at its best. w. II. Goodfellow
followed on Harmony, not only in
song. but in life j. H. Bishop made
strong appeal for the mems Bible
class. the need in these days for Bible
study.
John Sowles, on Sport, told what
appeared to some hearers as somewhat
exaggerated fishing stories, but all those
who fish and hunt are so likely to do
this. Charles II. Wishart, on 'Our City,
with an optimistic speech, made all
feel glad they lived in Barre and stirred
them to what better Barre might be if
all worked harder for its prosperity.
Rev. +. f. Newell pastor OF Hedding
church. was the last speaker. He spoke
on Fishing. There are different kinds
OF fish to catch, different hooks and
different kinds of bait. There are differ.
ent kinds of men to meet and different
ways in which to catch them. He urged
men to try to catch men for what was
good. and closed with a fitting poem,
Illustrating how Christ can help men
to catch men.
The occasion was most enjoyable
one and will be long remembered for
its harmony and the splendid spirit OF
good will.
The members of the brotherhood are
greatly indebted to O. III. Silver for his
readiness in supplying the excellent
light; to the ladies who cooked, pre-
pared and served the supper; the Camp
fire Girls and others who saw that all
needs were supplied; those who gladly
donated chickens and other food and to
those who put in hours and days OF hard
work to make it a success.
The Methodist brotherhood, chapter
$50, invites all men of the church and
others who may wish to do so to unite
with the organization in taking up the
many departments or interesting and
needed work. Increased attendance at
the mems Bible class is especially urged.
