The Community Church.
G. A. Prouty.

Editor Monitor: One of the most
agreeable surprises of my life was
the reading of the editorial in your
late issue entitled, sfThe Community
Church" with particular reference to
the church in Glover under the charge
of the Rev. 6. w. Douglass. interest
ed, as [ have ever been, in the welfare
of the state, sensing as | have for
many years the moral decadence in
our rural communities, and firmly
believing all of the time that the best
and true remedy lies in the recognition
by the church of it's true relations to
the community at large, it certainly
sent thrill Of cheer and hopefulness
through my soul to read your editorial.
Indeed denominationalism is dead in
usefulness and we want no more of it !;
and when we see in our smaller places
several churches weak. struggling for
existence, enviOus of each other,
jealous of one another's influence,
! powerless as regards any broad, far

effort. we can only wiring our hands in
anguish and pray God for a church

sensible way, we can, at least. begin
to take courage. The people. the

Christ endeavored to reach, and it is
what the church must endeavor to
reach in order to accomplish it's
mission.

By invitation through the mail the
Progressive leaders met in Montpelier
one day last week to talk over the
affairs of their party and make plans
for the future. The question rising in
our minds is this: Who appointed the
Header" from the various communi-
ties who met in this conference? Did
the rank and file of the Progressive
party have a hand in stating that
these men were their representatives?
And why was not the invitation to
this conference general to the Pro-
gressives? To come down to the facts
of the case how greatly did this con-
ference vary from political conferences
that have been held in this state for
so years by leaders of the old parties?
Will the Progressives of the various
communities represented at that con-
ference speak up and tell us whether
they received an invitation or not and
when they delegated representation to
the following men, who adopted reso-
lutions stating the attitude of the
Progressive party on various matters
of general interest and concern?

Newport Express and Standard, G. A.
Prouty says:
Newport, Vt.
Dear Mr.. Editor MANY persons
from all sections of the state have
urged me to become candidate for
the United States senate at the next
election. My own inclination has been
to accept that suggestion, and | have
delayed a definite answer beyond what
is seemly in the hope that [ might reach
that conclusion. have, however, been
obliged to conclude that | must decline.
Some three years ago l was upon
the verge of a nervous collapse, and
while much better and improving, my
doctor advises me that the excitement
of political campaign would be
almost certain to bring on recurrence
of that condition with possibly per-
manent results. Since I am of some
service in my present position, and
since I feel that my physician is
probably right, [ have determined to
accept his advice.
In this connection wish to express
my sincere appreciation of the kind
expressions which have come to me
from all quarters. The one regret in
my work of the last seventeen years
has been that it was altogether away
from my native state. 1t is extreme
ly gratifying that nevertheless sc
many of my fellow Vermonters have
to some extent followed that work and
are ready to approve the motives ano
purposes which have prompted it.
| Very truly.

for United States senator from Yer

great disappointment to the people of

WHY DO YOU SHAKE HANDS?

To the war-like practice of carry
ing swords may be traced the peace
promoting habit of hand shaking. In
the days when "knighthood was in
flower" and every man carried a
sword and was ready to use it on the
slightest pretext it was customary for
a man to extend his right hand when
he met friend, the open hand show
ing that his intentions were friendly.
Swords went out of fashion, but long
before they did hand shaking as an
expression of friendship and good will
became general among men and wo-
men.

 The boys struck the aged man on the head with an iron bar while robbing his store, and there is nothing that can be said for them, other than their youth.

Almost every woman Ill the church contributed good things to eat or money for cer- tain expenses and time and la bor in preparing and serving. And beside this a number from other churches voluntarily sent trays of tempting pies and other things. The merchants and business men co-operated and assisted in various ways and the members of the Fair Asso- citation were courteous and help ful. Indeed, there was such a spirit of liberality and good will universally shown and such generous patronage bestowed, that the women of the church feel they owe debt of grati- tude and appreciation to the community and county and wish it were possible to express their thanks individually to everyone who helped make a success of the 'Methodist Lunch Stand"
