Arthur S. Redfield.

Arthur Sidney Redfeld, who has
been i'll during the last year. died
Wednesday, Feb. 4. For some time
recently he had seemed to be improve
ing but a sudden change for the worse
took place and he died suddenly of
heart failure. Mr.. Redfeld was born
in Coventry Oct. "a, 1852. He lived
there until he was 20 years old when
he was married to Miss Lillian Gray of
Lyndonville on Jan. %, 1881. After
his marriage he went to Rutland
where he was foreman in the Vermont
Marble company's mills for several
years. Closing his labors there he
moved to Bloomington where he lived
until 1896. He then came to this place
and made his home on the May farm
until his decease. Mr.. Redfeld was
a man who by his genial disposition.
kindness, readiness to accommodate
others and helpfulness to the poor,
made many friends and was much re-
spected by the whole community. His
loss will be felt by the many people
he has befriended. He leaves his wife
and an only daughter, Marion. The
funeral was held at the home Friday,
Rev. w. A. Warner officiating and the
burial was in the w. o. Brown ceme-

LETTER FROM PRISONER

pIirnents Prison Administration.
Mr.. EditOr:-.

Mr.. EdltOr:--
Having read with interest the arti-
Gle published recently in the columns
OF your valuable paper entitled ''The
Community Church." the writer takes
the liberty of addressing you, thinking
that you might perhaps be interested
to know of the deep impression which
the article named has made upon one
who makes bold to assert that had he
had the advantage of such an associa-
ton IN earlier days, he would not now
be numbered among those whom socie-
ty has seen fit to incar cerate from
Gods sunlight, and the haunts of the
free man.
1t is. indeed, a sad state of affairs
When a man has to be sent to States
prison, to learn, for the first time. the
truth OF Gods teachings. and this is
the situation, exactly, in the writer S
case. and also the case with great
number of others, who. like the writer,
have been confined in this institution
and have had the opportunity of learn
ing that truth with the humane treat
ment accorded them by the present
administration of Vermont state prison.
In the rural communities of Vermont
Tin one of which the writer was
brought up) sectarianism is, or has
been, far too pronounced as a usual
thing. The aristocracy-so called-of
small community jealously guarded
and put barrier around the doors of
their church through which none but
those with proper credentials may
enter. thereby making the church in
actuality not church of God. Others
must of necessity drive. or, in the case
of the poorer classes walk number of
miles to attend church services at
