The annual meeting of the Willough-
by District Sunday School association,
which comprises all the schools in the
towns of Westmore. Barton and Glow
er, met Saturday at Evansville. with
representatives from every school pres
ent. The program as = printed last
week was carried out in full and all
the papers and addresses were good.
Mrs. Edith Balch Wright gave COM
prehensive talk about the work ina
statewide aspect and also spoke of
the Bible and it's necessity to the
home and the Sunday school. The
conducted by Rev. I. A. Ranney of
Barton, brought out the fact that
many new ideas are good and worthy
but the fundamentals of teaching
the Bible truths must be adhered to.
This same thought was enlarged upon
in a most excellent paper by Mrs.
Allen S. Gilmour of West Glover.
Rev. C. l.. Wells of Irasburg spoke
very urgently upon the need of the
right men and women for class teachers.
Rev. NJ w. Hale Of Coventry, presi-
dent of the county association, used as
a subject, "20th Century Goldsmiths,"
and brought out the thought that gold
smiths worked in a metal of enduring
quality and so the Sunday school work.
er wrought in things of enduring
value, the character of the Individual.
Miss Clemma Seaver of Barton spoke
of the need of temperance teaching in
the Sunday school. A roll call of the
delegates brought out many interest
ing facts from the various schools.
The usual formalities of welcoming
and response were performed but the
welcome worn on the outside of the
Evansville people and fine repast were
evidence enough that they were glad
to have the workers meet with them.
At the close the resolution committee
presented concise set of resolutions
upholding the work of the anti-saloon
league of the state and thanking the
local people and church for their hos
pitality, which was adopted. The

Baseball Again.

We learn from former Barton man.
now member of the North Troy team,
that the Troy team is looking for
games It would be very easy matter
for Orleans and Barton to get together
and give this team at least three good
games, one at North Troy. one at
Orleans and one here at Barton. We
have material enough in the two towns
to make very good ball team, and
even though we did not care to con-
tnue team all season, this would
give us at least three good games.
We learn too that the semi-professional
team known as the "Boston Reds"
will again tour northern Vermont in
July and this would afford chance for
a few more good games. It would not
require big subscription to make q
go of this. probably $50 would cover
the expenses outside the gate receipts.

At the Methodist Church.

Rev. I. A. Ranney gave a very
interesting sermon Sunday morning,
the theme of which was. "Cheapness
in Religion" He spoke of the ten
dency of US all to offer to God that
which involved no sacrifice or cost on
our part The text was II Samuel.
"a "a.
In the evening he gave an address
on, 'Half Baked People," showing
that through a one-sided development
a person becomes mentally, morally
and spiritually warped and unable to
attain that strength of character
which might otherwise have been
possible.
