received the full truth she found
she did not have the Holy Ghost like
as they did in the days of Pentecost.
But after the light came, said she,
| threw open every avenue Of my
soul, and He-the Comforter-came
in and took up his abode in my soul,
and when he came in He testified
for himself according to st. John Is:

But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name. He shall teach
you all things, and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever
| have said unto you. Peace leave
with you, my peace l give unto you;
not as the world giveth, give | unto
you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither'let be afraid.")
The devil tried hard for me to
begin singing while she was
speaking, for l feared that she
would get started and go off into
the unknown tongue speaking; but
after testifying for some time she
quietly sat down. Then little girl
with red hair jumped up, and before
anyone could interfere, began to talk
in other tongues, as we then called
it. All began to sing but me.
was so scared could not sing. There
was something about that little girl
and her testimony that put silence
on my tongue. That night l visited
man who had been sanctified, but
who now felt he had failed to walk
in the light, and therefore had lost
the spirit of God. | told him these
people who were calling Pentecost
were of the devil, and that he had
already got Pentecost when he was
sanctified. But-'oh! said he, have
been reading Acts 2: II; also Acts
2:37-40. (Look to these chapters
Then says, If you don't quit fool
ing around in this way you will go
crazy sure" Then he told me how
they had Knocked on the day of Pen
tecost, and had called them drunken
people. So / left him and told my
wife of the experience. Next day
at the tabernacle one of the tongue
people was put up to preach. He
went into the tongue movement so
we all began to sing the song SER
vice. Then others testified. The
tongue people, as we called them,
testified that the Lord had first
saved them, and then had filled
them with the Holy Ghost with
Bible evidence of speaking in
unknown tongues, just like they had
on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2: IT.
The convention was success, but |
did not enjoy it. There was lack of
something in my soul. Soon wife

There will be no hay crop" Going
around the different sections at the
present time we find in most places
the heaviest crop in years. Grass is
heavier in the east part of the coun.

rain has fallen over east. Vermont

question will be answered by a plat

In a short TIME the Redpath

desire to avail themselves of such

The original Chautauqua was held
in New York state more than forty

not until recent years has the move

Davenport, Unrequited Genius.

~~''~S'
The tragic story of Thomas Daven-
port of Forestdale, this county, re-
vived by the Edison Monthly and
reprinted elsewhere this morning,
suggests the truism that real genius
does occasionally die unIecognized.
In Davenport's case, he was de-
rided as a harebrained crank and
died broken-hearted and yet he in
vented practical electric motor
and model railway system years be-
fore even the steam railroad was
known in Vermont.
His records and models on file in
the patent office proved so conclu-
sively the pure genius of his inven-
ton that it was tardily recognized
by modern science over 100 years
after his birth and nearly that
length of time after the probable
perfection of the motor which made
his little railroad possible.
This was nearly 40 years before
the invention of the dynamo.
AS the Monthly truly says, Daven
port was full generation ahead o.
his time.
Vermont has done signal honor t,
brave soldiers and wise public men
but surely, there should be table
in the state capitol to commemorate
the genius of this almost forgotten
blacksmith's helper, who .antedatet
Edison's marvels by nearly four de
cades.- Rutland Herald.

Burned the Canoe.
The burning of the canoes at a
summer camp is a good example.
The use of these extremely frail, un.
stable and therefore dangerous
craft should be everywhere restrict.
ed to expert swimmers. Any others
who go out in them risk their lives
since the least incautious movement
is likely to cause an upset even
when the water is quiet. While
canoes may still be used by those
who are fitted and ready at any
moment to swim ashore, it would be
better If they were put out of use
altogether. There is always the
danger, as long as they are kept at
hand, that boys who cannot swim
may seize an opportunity to venture
out in them. They serve no pur-
pose that is worth while. An ex,
pert may derive some pleasure from
padding canoe about, but to per.
sons who want to enjoy ride upon
the water they offer neither security
nor comfort. = Rutland News.

THE NEW RELIGION.

After preaching in another city.
with troubles similar 20 those al
ready mentioned, Buckalew went
back to Nashville, Tenn, to attend
the annual convention of the Pente-
costal Mission and also to attend the
training school. At this convention
were some who came from Birming-
ham, and other places, who claimed
to have the Holy Ghost with them,
with the Bible evidence of speaking
in unknown tongues as they did ir
the days of Pentecost. So. the ques
ton arose at the convention what te
do with them, as their religion was
not in accord with the Church OF
Holiness. 1t was finally decided t.

One Vermont Girl.

The remarkable record of one of
Northfeld's young women given in
this issue is something of which the
town may we'll feel proud and again
proves the sterling worth of the in
habitants of our little Green Noun
tain state. Miss Maude Benjamin,
as she was Familiarity known here,
had no unusual advantages, she was
simple country girl. By her own
efforts she completed her high school
course graduating as valedictorian
and while so doing took additional
work outside which enabled her to
pass the advanced Greek examina-
ton for entrance to Radcliffe.
She has now graduated at the
head of her class in Radcliffe, and
not only that, but she has received
the highest honor the college could
bestow. Miss Benjamin's brilliant
intellect and studious disposition
have won fame and position for the
girl who went from her little coun-
try home only a few years ago. Her
rapid advancement reads more like
story than the record of a very
charming and unpretentious Yer
mont girl-TNorthfield News.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, recognized as
one of the strong, forceful men of the
United States senate, has made state
ment in support of woman suffrage which
effectively disposes of most of the argu-
ments against that coming reform.
Senator Borah speaks as one who has
watched the effects of woman suffrage in
his own state for twenty years and is,
therefore. qualified to present expert
testimony.
The Senator says: II am believer In
woman suffrage. While am opposed to
proceeding by an amendment to the nat
jonal constitution. because think it a
matter which the representative states
should determine, am, nevertheless,
fully committed to the belief that woman
suffrage is not only right in theory. blu.
beneficial in practice.
I'VE have had woman suffrage in my
state for more than twenty years. / en-
terrain no doubt that its tendency is all
for the good, for the advantage and
benefit of the body polite generally. /
am quite sure that none of the evils and
none of the tendencies which the oppo.
uents of women suffrage so often prophesy
and seem greatly to fear have resulted
from suffrage in our state. On the other
hand, can see much good resulting
from it,"
