OUR LECTURE COURSE
At meeting of the church lecture
course committee the officers of last
year were elected to serve for the
coming year: President. Rev. E. R.
Gordon; corresponding secretary, Rev.
G.. E. Garvin; secretary and treasurer,
Mrs. Martin Sawyer; chairman ticket
selling committee, Rev. E. r. Gordon.
Rev. E. r. Gordon, who has been
chairman of the lecture course COM
mittee for several years, resigned and
Rev. G. E. Garvin was elected to the
Office. The committee then proceeded
to select the course for next year, and
decided upon course of six numbers
at a cost $50, which will be the best
course that Craftsbury people have
ever seen in their own town. The

ments will be the same as four years
ago when we paid only $3.50 for the
course, 81 for adults and IS cents fol-
children and students Probably there
are few places in the United States
where the tickets for such an expen
sive course are sold for such small
sum of money. Last year we were
proud to have such a man as DR.

this year our course will open with
lecture by Rev. Newell Dwight Hills

was the greatest preacher and orator
ever produced on this continent DR.
Hills is regarded as the creates
preacher-orator in the United States

read SO many books as Dr. Hills. The
