In The Religious World
SUNDAY LEssONl
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.)

"Go.to.C Church" Sunday has spread
all over the land. Great cities and
small villages have entered into the
plan, showing versatility and re.
! sourcefuness for propaganda that is
notable. The advertising of the church
has become new movement in pre-
sent day religion. All this Is helping
| the world to perceive anew the pro-
! found considerations which underie
| church attendance.
7 Here we find. in the story which is
the basis Of this lesson, Jesus in at
tendance upon the synagogue, the
church of his day. That was his prac-
tice. He stood for the best evidence
of organized religion in his time. He
found grave fault with some Of it's
shortcomings. but he stood by it. He
; never broke loose from the synagogue
From the vantage point Of its services
he proclaimed a nobler type of Wor-
ship.
Nobody can find warrant in the
words or example of the Master for
spending all of Sunday on the golf
links or in automObilng or in putter-
ing about a garden. He was found ar
rayeG with those who met for the wor-
shir of God on the Sabbath. That IS
the first testimony anybody can offer
to the church: lack of it nulifes all
other witness. Despite all he may say,
the nonchurch-goer is understood as
not being on the side of God and re-
ligion.
The Scandalized Ecciesiastics.
Our own days deep social sense is
firmly buttressed in the practice and
teachings of Jesus. He put human
welfare above ritual. Churchly ell
ouette meant less to him than the we'll
being of living men and women. His
conc option of the Sabbath was OF day
that is beautiful in ministry to man.
Tradition counted for nothing as
against helpfulness Our own Sunday
should be a day so helpful to all sides
of mans nature that it will bind So
ciety together by a powerful spiritual
tie.
The aristocratic ecclestiastics OF
Christ's time had ritualized religion to
death. The minute matters Of rites
and ceremonies and prescriptions and
regulations had displaced the essential
yah. OF course their successors are |
with us today. as they have been in |
every generation. The minutial OF al
tar lamps and altar trimmings. wheth- !
err prayers shall be read from a book
or uttered extemporaneously: whether
the minister shall wear a gown or dis
play his own tailor's wares-such !
minor matters as these have always
shown tendency to assume major i'm !
oortance in organized. institutionalized
religion. Conformity to these non es-
sentials has often been made test
If orthodoxy Then along comes the
reformer with the vital word and the
vital deed and the ecclesiastics are !
while the people rejoice.
So it was in this story. Jesus
smashed into atoms the finely spun
'ituelism Of the pharisees by healing
sick woman on the Sabbath in the
How he loved people and
sought to help them! Over against
human need. the rules Of the church
party weighed nothing And moreover
o their utter confusion. Jesus proved
rom their own deliverances that this
-ital helpful social and really religious
york on the Sabbath was entirely
light

Caspian Lake
From Montpelier Tournal)

Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Kinney have gone
to Greensboro whore they are to pass the
summer at their cottage on the east side
of Caspian Lake. Mr.. Kinney will travel
around the state as usual, on his business
of organizing Sunday chools.
Caspian Lake or Greensboro pond is
becoming more and more popular each
year as a sumner resort. There are now
about 1856 cottages and five or six are be-
ing put up this spring. Quite colony
of Yale University professors have settled
on the lake shore and about 10 ministers
pass at least part of the summer at this
spot.
Bliss Perry, a professor at Harvard col
lege, and formerly editor of the Atlantic
Monthly, has cottage at Caspian Lake,
as have also quite a number of other lit
erary people.
The altitude of the pond is 800 feet
above sea level. Ole place little ways
back from the pond, known as Barr Hill,
has an altitude of 2, 400 feet above sea
level and is said to be the highest cult
waited piece of land in the states. Few
mosquitoes make heir headquarters
around this pond and the air is pure and
balmy.
From Barr Hill arises the water supply
of the camps, pure. cold, sparkling spiiug
water. From this same hill may be ob.
tanned a wonderful view of the surround
ing mountain ranges.
On the canadian side Elephantes, Owls
Head, etc, appear. Further around,
Bear Mountain Jay Peak and that whole
range stand out in clear profile, Still
further around are Mount Mansfield and
Camei's Hump and on the east the White
Mountains of New Hampshire throw up
their rugged backs
The finny tribe abound in the lake, 100
pounds of fish having been caught the
first DAY of the season. Lake salmon,
brook, steel head, rainbow, German
brown and other kinds of trout may be
caught, some of them weighing as high
as 20 or 81 pounds.

GREAT FAMILY RECORD.

A remarkable record Of family serv-
son Grange, No. II, of Hudson, n H.,
where Chester A. Andrews, who has
just been elected master, is the fourth
of the name of Andrews to fill the
executive chair if that Grange. His
uncle, Arthur S. Andrews, served in
that position for several terms, after
which the latter's son, Allen b. An
drews, filled the chair two years and
was elected for the present year, but
declined to serve. The present Mr..
Andrews father, William A. An
drews, in the early days of Hudson
Grange was master for several con-
secutive terms.
1t is doubtful if there has been an
other instance in Grange history
where two men, who are brothers,
have each had a son to succeed them
in the masters chair in the Grange,
and all four engaged in tilling the
soil upon adjoining farms in their
native town.
Chester A. Andrews is a well-known
resident and an extensive market
gardener in Hudson and will make a
capable and progressive master of
Hudson Grange. The latter is in a
flourishing condition, with more than
300 members. Its 10th anniversary
was recently celebrated with very i'm
pressive exercises.

A COOPERATIVE PROGRAM.

The section around Eastport, n. Y,
proposed trying out a cooperative
scheme that is quite unique and in
cludes an extensive plan of Co-Opera-
ton among the farmers, designed also
to lower the cost of living.
The project contemplates the estab-
lishment, by municipalities, of receiv-
ing terminals, with capacity for cold
and general storage, with a likelihood
of local retail markets later on. The
plan also calls for a state OF mu-
nicipal food and market commission
to supervise the distribution of food
stuffs and to assist in carrying out the
details of the municipal market equip
ment.
The whole project is based on the
idea that the national gov eminent
shall aid in the organization of pro
ducers, in better methods Oh produc-
ton, grading, packing and transporta-
ton. and shall issue weekly or daily
bulletins giving information about
supply and demand. quotations. trans
portation rates. etc. An effort viii be
made to induce other agricultural or
CARNATIONS in New York to unite with
the grange in giving this plan a thor
oGEh trial.

TACKLING A BIG QUESTION
New Jersey State Grange Has Opened
Fire on the Grade Crossing
Problem.

That the Grange is always made to
tackle a problem that needs tackIng,
even though it be a big one, is at
present proven in New Jersey,
where the State Grange has opened
up the grade crossing system and nrO-
poses to stir things up in lively fash
ion.
New Jersey is cursed with hundreds
Of railroad crossings at grade, most of
| them unprotected by either fagmeu or
| gates, and a great annual toll of death
is the result. Previous efforts 10
either have the crossings aboli' i
| or proper protection enforced, hive
met with failure, chiefly because
there was no organized force suili-
eient to overcome railroad opposition.
Now the Grange has taken up the mat
ter and will make it a live issue dur
ing the coming year, with all that
means when the Grange gets after d
question of this sort.
State Master George w. F. Gaunt set
the agitation going by vigorous de-
claration, in his annual address,
against continued federation Of these
railroad death traps; and the matter
has been very generally taken UP by
The Oranges throughout the state, In
part, Mr.. Gaunt declared:
The grade crossing question has
been widely discussed during the past
year and many plans, some good some
absurd, have been advocated for heir
elimination. | am strongly OF the
opinion that the further sacrifice of
human life should be avoided at grade
crossings by the installing of gates or
some mechanical device that would
positively warn of the approach of
trains. This protection could be given
the highway travelling public immedi-
ately by the railroad companies at a
far less cost than the total elimination
Of all grade crossings and at the same
time relieve them of vast amount OF
censure that they now receive. The
question of humps and depressiOns
that would be necessary in the climb
nation of these crossings is one that
wants to be carefully considered by
the farmer who is compelled to use
the highway as business proposition.
In many cases increased grades would
mean increased disadvantages, hence,
we must consider this problem Sc
riously and not become advocates Of
methods that would initiate against
our best interests. This will no dOubt
be legislative question at the coming
session of the state legislature, and |
would urge that it be given full dis
cussion here in order that the Grange
representatives may act authorita-
lively and intelligently in it's advocacy
or opposition to plans that may be
submitted"

1HAW LOSES OUT
IN SUPREME COURT

Washington, Dec. 22.-The right OF
the state of New York to extradite
Harry Kendall Thaw from Newhamp-
sire was held by the supreme court i'm
an unanimous decision reversing
Judge Aldrich of the federal district
court of NeWhampshire. The court
declared the case "too clear for
lengthy argument" and with few
words swept aside as irrelavent alE
the contentious of Thaw's counsel.
Conspiracy to escape from the Mat
teawan insane asylum to whion he was
committed after the killing of Stan
ford White in 1906 is the charge or
which Thaw stands indicted in New
York. On this indictment when ThaH
is in the hands of the New York au-
thorities again, will begin anew
Thaw's battle against being returned
to Matteawan.
Just what line of action will be TAX
en- is not known tonight. ThaW's
counsel intimated the ordering of the
extradition is by no means the end
of the fight. After 30 days, unless the
counsel of both sides join in asking
the action earlier the supreme court
will issue mandate to Judge A.
bridge to set aside his decree in Hab-
cas- corpus, proceedings ordering
Thaw's release by the Newhampshire
authorities,
