I have laid down tho book and said:
Now, where have seen that In the
Bible7''-Robert J. Burdette.
The Bible has ennobled every Ian
guage into which 1t has been trans
lated. Its thoughts are SO lofty that
the moment they are embodied in
human speech. whatever that speech
may be. it is exalted, and glorihed.
When 1t came into the Greek and Latin
languages 1t largely regenerated even
the vehicle which communicated its
thought. 1t necessitated the creation
of new words; and 1t gave new and
nobler meanings to old words. 1t IL
not too much to say that 1t almost Gre
ated a new Greek and Latin tongue.
1t has given noble themes and
thoughts to our greatest writer's. Go
through a library and count the num-
ber Of the books which the Bible has
suggested. You will at once put into
the category Dante's Divine Comedy"
Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered" Spen-
ser's "Faerie Queene." Milton's Para
disc Lost" and Paradise Regained," :"
Pollok's Course Of Time." Pope's
Messiah" and many others of like
character. -l
1t has often given the idea Of the
characters which are the subjects OF
many books. In this way, we are In
debted to It for striking features In
Scott's 'Ivanhoe," Mrs. Stoves
Uncle Toms Cabin" and for many
characters in George Eliot, In Tenny-
son, In Byron, in Shakespeare, and in
many other writer's. 1t 10 said that the
Red Cross knight, in Sponsors "Faerie
Queene," is but Paul's armed Christian

the Ephesians; that Pope's Messiah"

seraphic passages in Isaiah; that the

Methodist Episcopal Church Notes.

Christmas exercises by the children
are progressing finely under the eff
cient leadership of Rev. and Mrs
Ranney and F. w. Cutting. Sunday.
Mrs. Adams played for voluntary the
famous sextette from Donizetti s
Lucia" every note of which breathe $
the highest spirit of devotion. The
choir sang the anthem, Il Will Extol
Thee" in very spirited manner,
while hymns appropriate to the occa.
sion were sung in way to give zest
and appreciation to the sermon which
was to follow, based on the text found
in Deut. %: IS, when thou buildest
a new house then thou shalt make a
battlement for thy roof" etc. On
oriental houses the fiat roof was often
used for gatherings of various sorts,
making the battlement Or parapet
necessary to the safety of life and
limb. He gave this as an illustration
of the need of the prohibitory law
which is soon to be voted upon as a
nationwide issue, the most forceful
and convincing talk on the subject we
have ever heard. In the evening he
preached on 1.-The Man who Failed to
Go to Meeting and What He Missed"

Bank Makes Christmas Distribution.

The Barton Savings Bank and Trust
company is this week making distri-
buttons of the Christmas funds to
those who availed themselves of the
opportunity last season to join one of
these Christmas saving clubs and over
100 people did avail themselves of this
opportunity and are now wearing that
much pleased expression of receiving a
lot of easy money. The small savings
of each week show how easy it is with
out any great self-denial to save a
considerable sum- These clubs were
started last year by the bank. whereby
YOU might save very small sum each
week and find at the end of the season
you had accumulated to your credit
sums ranging from $25. so to $63. rs.
You were permitted to start payments
at either end of the period. that is
with the smallest or largest payment
first. the sum increasing or decreasing
at the rate of to cents per week.
The bank will again conduct this
Christmas savings plan. and everyone
who went into it last season will with
out doubt do so again, while large
number of local people will join the
clubs this season who were not men,
bers last year. The clubs are now
starting again and it is to you.
interest to get in at once. You
will be much surprised to find how
easily you can save these small sums
out of your weekly earnings and still
more agreeably surprised next holiday
time to find yourself possessed of
very sizable check. There is no
objection to your joining several times
if you are sure you can keep up the
payments. and you may be able to
have several large checks at the end
Of the season instead of one These
clubs are really much more valuable to
our local people than to those who
have to spend money for postage, but
there are several hundred people who
would find this a splendid and easy
method of saving,

SavtoNAcademY AND SraAed School
A Department for School News

An opportunity. which is greatly
appreciated. has been given the men,
bers of Barton academy and graded
school to present school notes in the
Monitor every week. This is not an
innovation. School notes have been
printed in the Monitor at various times
before this but never with such COM
pleteness as they are to be given
from now On. The question of a
school paper has been in the minds of
many pupils for some time For various
reasons the academy is not able at
present to issue school paper of it's
own but the school does intend to
handle this space in the Monitor as
though it were a separate paper, to
present to the public from week to
week school news, items of interest.
announcements, jokes, letters from
alumni. etc, thus letting the public
know exactly what the school is doing.
In short this space is to be school
paper and handled as such.
This work will be done by the men,
bers of the high school and thus ex-
perlence in practical newspaper work
will be gained by nearly all, not all,
the members of the school. The school
believes that the public will heartily
welcome this new feature of the Moni-
tor. The printing of school news
every week will be the means of bring
ing the citizens of Barton and surround
ing towns into closer touch with the
school. of interesting the pupils of the
school more and more in the public
life and lastly. of increasing the inter
est and value of the Orleans County
Monitor to all its subscribers.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The teachers and pupils of the high
school and of all the grades are plan
ming to give an exhibit Of school work
some time during the third week in
January, to which the public is cor
daily invited, only invited but
urged to attend. This is not to be an
exhibit of work especially prepared for
the occasion, but rather it is to be an
exhibition of daily work. The aim and
purpose of this exhibit is to show the
public exactly what work the school is
doing every day. Each grade is to
exhibit its work in its own room and
the work of the high school will be
exhibited ill the assembly hall. Each
department Of study and every class
will probably have some work on exhi
bitlon, while the elocution class, glee
clubs and orchestra will give an ex-
hibition of their work in the form
of an entertainment. The domestic
science girls will serve light refresh,
ments. Those in charge of the exhibit
earnestly hope that it. will prove sue
cess and this can only be brought
about by cooperation of the public.
Therefore let everybody keep this
exhibit in mind and help to make it an
inspiration to greater work by the
pupils, teachers, and public.
| The public is cordially invited to
attend the Christmas exercises at the
high school on Wednesday Dec. %, at
o. clock. The program will be short
and probably interesting, but not
elaborate. The program will be as
follows: Song, 'Bethlehem - read
