given up to the young people. A
prize speaking contest was held with
eight speakers which was conducted

All of these addresses were excel
lent. Mrs. Seberry and Mrs. Pear
son, state president, were both a
great inspiration and help to the
convention.

tary, Mrs. NJ. E. Campbell, Barnet;
corresponding secretary, Miss Laura

with this declaration
In conclusion I wish to state that
having found the American Fidelity
Co. legally solvent, financially SOL
vent, and solvent in every way, and
having no reason to believe that such
a condition will not be continued,
and maintained, should his Excel
lency the governor, seek to break
down by direct attack, or indirectly
by insinuation, innuendo, subter-
fuge or in any other manner, this
solvent Vermont institution he will
obtain no assistance from me in such
pursuit, for as long as l hold any po-
sition of trust or responsibility I'M
der the laws of Vermont | shall do
everything in my power to uphold
the good name of the state and her
sound and solvent institutions in
trusted to my care.
Mr.. Deavitt's statement shows
clearly that no further agitation is
needed for the protection of the
state in the matter. But the gov
ernor has taken the matter into the
courts and the question will be set
tied according to law.

exercises, after which the Organiza-
ton was effected by electing Rev. J.
J. Hutchinson of LyndonVille, mod
orator, and Rev. T. A. Carlson of
Peacham, scribe. Miss Miriam
Woodbury. of New York City deliv-
cred an address on 1.-The Problem of
the Immigrant" bringing out the
fact of the immigrants need of a
friend when he first lands here and
the work of the missionaries
who visit him in his home in the min
ing and Industrial towns of the mid
die west and bring him the Gospel
in his own tongue. She referred es-
pecially to the work of our repre-
sentatives at Ellis Island
Rev. DIR. F. B. Richards of st.
JOhnsbury North Church preached
the annual sermon, taking his text
from Judges 5: %, and his theme,
1.-THE Curse and Misfortune of
Striking" 1t was a helpful and
practical message and was finely de-
livered and illustrated.
Wednesday morning after devo-
tionals Rev. Chas. B. Bliss of McIn-
does delivered an address on 1.-THE
Psychological Moment" in which he
called attention to the favorable and
unfavorable times for religious con-
Victions and the need on the the part
of religious workers of watching for
the right occasions in winning souls.
Rev. A. v. Fisher of East St. Johns
I,s
Evangelism, brought out the i'm
portant place that the pastor occu-
pies, both as a preacher and as a
man among men in evangelization.
Rev. F. S. Goodheart read a very
interesting paper on THE Philoso-

clear analysis of the system of this
great German philosopher and
writer on spiritual themes. The
paper was discussed by the mem
bers present.
In the afternoon Rev. DIR. Merrill
gave an address and answered ques-
tions in regard to the every member
canvass, which is being employed
with good success wherever tried.
VIM. Danner, representing the mis-

with physical, mental and spiritual
help. Personal Evangelism was
treated by Rev. J. ]. Hutchinson,

1t looks as though Charles A.
Prouty had dropped the progressives
good and hard although they do not
make his letter public. This is no
surprise to those who know Mr.. Prou-
ty as he never has been inclined to
some of the progressive doctrines.
He is, as he always has been, live
republican and is satisfied to con-
tinue the great work of making the
physical valuation of railroads he
has undertaken. With his open de-
claration that he will not be can
didate for the Office of United States
senator for any party we believe the
best interests of the party and the
people of Vermont demand the clos
ing of the ranks in solid line behind
Sen. w. P. Dillingham; who is a can
didate and well qualified in ability
and experience to serve another term
of six years.

Progressives Are Responsible.

To intelligent Americans the pres
ent quietness in industrial circles,
the sending out of this country of
millions of dollars more for goods
than we are receiving for American
goods, the disturbed and distressing
conditions in Mexico and the tear
ing down of the diplomatic service,
are very unsatisfactory. These con-
ditions are all due to the democratic
administration now in power. They
are conditions that large majority
Of American citizens desire changed
and which they might change if
they would act togtther. But the
bosses of the progressive party, the
party that made the election Of
Pres. Wilson possible, declare they
will not unite with the republican
party and make his reelection i'm
possible.
The Springfield Republican, a pa
per bound by no party tie, says
Mr.. Roosevelt's plans for intense
political activity the coming summer
and autumn cannot fail to be re-
garded with genuine pleasure by
the leader OF the democratic party
in the White House. Mr.. Roosevelt

The MOrriSville Papers Loud In
Praise of st. JOhnsbury Musician
The Morrisville Messenger for May
81, in speaking of the Musical Fes-
tival there said in part: 1.-THE piano
solos by Miss .Maude E. Brown of
St. Johnsbury were favorite numbers
with the audience, and she was
heartily encored at each of her ap-
pearances. Miss Brown is a veri-
table mistress of technique and ex-
preston, and showed herself an ac-
cOmplished musician, both in her
solos and in her work as accompan-
list, in which latter task she com
pletely effaced herself, forming a per-
feet background for the singer and
proving her thorough understanding
of the art of accompanying. Her
numbers on Wednesday afternoon,
lie Papillon", by Lavalee, and
"Pierrette", by Chaminade, were
most daintily executed and on We'd
nesday evening her rendition of
Romance, by Sibellius, was
warmly encored."

The Centenary of Peace.

III the original plans of the inter
national committees having in charge
the celebration of 100 years peace
between England and the United
States are carried out, we shall soon
be hearing much about that subject,
as It was planned to inaugurate the
celebration on Christmas Eve 1914
These opening ceremonies will be in
the form OF religious services where
ever Anglo-Saxon people are gather
ed. This is to be followed by a
formal banquet at Hotel de Vile in
the city of Client, given by the bur
gomaster and the municipality, on
January 5, 1915, in memory of the
banquet given to the British and
American commissioners on that
date 100 years ago to celebrate the
signing of the treaty that closed the
last armed conflict between the two
countries. 1t is also planned to re-
store to its original condition the
banquet hall of a century ago.
The erection of a free information
al bridge over the Niagara as
peace memorial, the erection of a
Lincoln statue in London, a Queen
Victoria statue in Washington, iden-
tical monuments in London and
Washington concentrating the
hundred years peace, and peace mon
uments along the border between
United States and Canada and in
other cities are also a part of the
program.
Only a part of the proposed plans
are given but enough is mentioned
to show the immense project the low
ers of peace have under way. If all
planned is accomplished millions of
dollars will be spent, not by the two
governments, but by the people of
England and America. But large as
the sum will be it will be small ex-
pense compared with a conflict of
arms between the two nations. 1t
will also tend to make war between
the English speaking races impos-
sible. So it promises to be worth
all it costs. To meet together and
become acquainted with the purposes
of each other, to learn how much
there is is in common between the
two peoples cannot help increasing
our respect for each other and the
union of forces give greatly increas-
ed strength to all good causes in
which they are engaged. The pos
sibilities of this celebration were
well expressed by the Hon. w. T.
White before the Canadians when
they organized for the purpose of pre-
pairing for the celebration. He said:
II venture to say, without dis
respect to other great nations, that
the United States and England to-
gether could keep the peace Of the
whole world This celebration
should do much to impress not on
ly the people Of the United States
and Great Britain, but of the whole
world, with the advantage of peace"
With such possibilities before him
it is the duty of every citizen of this
country to prepare himself to prop
erly observe the centennial of peace
between England and the United
States.
