might be a great deal more than he

Other jitney men do not take quite as
optimistic a view Of the possibilities of
the business as is possessed by the man
who furnished these figures, which GER
tainly seem to make jitneying a most
profitable occupation.
Can Pare His Profits.
Receipts of S15 a day mean that 800
passengers have to be hauled at cents
each, and 1t takes a great many trips a
day for a six or eight passenger jitney
to carry 800 passengers. when many Of
the trips are with no patrons at all.
The expenses per diem as given by
the man who supplied the figures above
do not agree with those that have been
given by other jitney men. Some of them
point out. among other things. that no
allowance is made for casualty insur-
ance.
In the matter of gasoline. for instance.
one jitney manager has said that $50
day. while a high estimate might be
taken as the cost of that necessary ad-
junct of automobile running. Few of
them figure on using less than 81 worth

would cut the jitney mans annual net
profit to s.. o33.l5. If he runs the machine
himself.
So. after all. the matter may still
be said to be an open question. There

FEAR GREATEST
EVIL OF today
Every Century Has Some
Mental Plague, Says Chris
tan Science Speaker.
WORLD IS RESTLESS NOW
Deliverance of People from This Fear
Is Most Wonderful Thing that
Can Be Done.

William p. Mckenzie. c. 8. B.. de-
livered a lecture on Christian Science
at Polls Theater yesterday afternoon
before an audience which taxed the
capacity of the house. He WIS intro
duced by Maj H. NJ. Lord.
The speaker is member of the
board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, and the lecture was the sixth in
the series of seven being given this
season under the auspices of the local
Christian Science churches.
Blessed by Gods Kindness.
In opening his lecture the speaker
have been blessed by the kindness of
God. and. continuing. said. among
other things:
Christian Science enables US to see
very clearly that the second COM
mandment must not have a material
Interpretation. The drunkard in his
cups may believe that he is fulfilling
it by inducing his neighbor to become
as besotted as he is himself. A neigh
Dor is often disconnected and OPP
pressed by the effort to force upon
him the preferences of another. 1t is
not love. however. that seeks to gov
ern with evil habits or anxiety and
fears.
The first command should be first
in thought, and when 1t is obeyed
fear is cast out and peace reigns. The
best service one can do for another Is
to reveal and prove to him the truth
concerning a good God. To do this a
man must first know this God him
self. If he knows God Alright. he
cannot refrain from loving with his
whole heart a perfect God. The next
step is to realize what this God does
for him. Consequently. fear. care, and
and joy of heart Then only is he
ready to love his nelghbor by realiz-
ing for him the same love whereby
he himself is blessed. When man
loves himself from the standpoint of
first loving God with all his heart. SO
that in his life Godlikeness appears
and the opposite qualities disappear.
he is able to show the neighborly
love which brings no burden of anXi-
ETY. and expresses no interference, be-
cause il is love which reveals the

divine love has provided for man.

DeIiveranre from Fear.
THE greatest deliverance that can come
to men is deliveranCe from fear and
nothing is a final remedy for human fear
except the divine truth of being. Ten
thousand remedies are proposed by NOR
tails who divide fears into classes. and
give them names. Each century has its
outstanding fear. which is it's plague;
and think of the myriad remedies pro-
posed by superstition and pseudo-science
for the plaques of past ages. But age by
age the people of God have lived apart
from the fears. of the multitude BY
their trust in the Highest they have been
comforted, that is made strong. Their
house has been on the rock. and the
winds might blow and heat upon their
refuge, but ii fell not. Christian Science
today is offering to all the peace which
has been participated In by the few.
Before us today is restless world
seeking for its Messiah. its message of
highest light. There is tumult of voices
as many leaders urge upon the attention
their varied panaceas. Some of them are
blind leaders of the blind. They follow
impulse and riotous feelings. and are not
guided by the light of a fixed principle.
The Master said, If the blind lead the
blind. both shall fall into the ditch
lone theory presented to men today is
based upon the premise that good Is lin
tied; that there is not enough to bless
all; therefore. there should be a scram-
BILE for what Is desirable SO that il may
be taken away from those who have it.
Another theory is that evil is domi-
nant: that every wrong is the fault Of
the other people. and that it is therefore
right to devise ways whereby to injure
the other people so as to make things
even.
THE premises of Christian Science are
that good. or God. is omnipotence, and
evil Is that which good overcomes.''

population has been inside radius Of a
few miles of which Roxbury and Brook
field are a part. In 1900 the center was
located Just across the Washington coun-
ty line in Brookfeld in Orange county,
while in 1880 and 1890 the point was in
the town Of Roxbury, in the extreme
southern corner of Washington county,
having varied just trihe northward be.
tween those two latter years, presumably
because OF the rapid growth OF Barre in
the interval from 1880 TO 1890,
Having those facts in mind, glance
at the geographical map of Vermont will
reveal that the center Of population IS
practically identical with the geographi-
cal center Of the state. The southern
part Of the somewhat extended town OF
Roxbury is almost equidistant from the
northern and the southern boundaries of
the state, as well as equidistant from
the eastern and the western borders.

DIED IN WATERBURY.
Justin W, Moody Not Considered criti-
cally Ill Till Few Hours Before Death.

Waterbury, Feb, 5.--The funeral OF JUS
tin w. Moody, who died at $3.50 last
evening, will be held on Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock, Mr.. Moody had been
suffering for about three weeks with
jaundice and blood poisoning, but his
condition was not considered critical UNI.
til yesterday afternoon, when DR.. 7. T..
Insolvency. Of Burlington was called in
consultation. Many knew not even that
he was i'll, and even by his immediate
family the seriousness of the case had
been felt only for O short time. Post
master for 20 years, he had a very broad
mountaineering which was intensified
by his kindness and courtesy OF man
ner. 1870
Justin w. Moody was born in Water
bury 80 years ago, the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. William Moody. He was educated
in the common schools and when young
man he was assistant postmaster and
clerk in the store of N. X Brown, having
full charge for the last few years. He
then received the appointment of post
master, bought the store and was faith
full servant to the public for "a years.
His administration is remembered by
many as particularly efficient and many
of the young men who received their first
business training from him are now hold
ing responsible positions.
Mr.. Moody married Miss Harriet +.
Brown of Montpelier and their married
life has been spent here. The widow
survives and two daughters, Mrs. II. G.
Whitehill and Mrs. Charles Perry, both
of this town. One sister Mrs. Frances
Atherton of Burlington, also survives
him.
Since retiring from the postmastership,
Mr.. Moody has interested himself in va
rious lines of business and the building
up of the large Moody farm on Blush
hill. He was, at one time, director of
the local bank and has been helpful in
the settling of many estates. He served
as school director for many years.
Quiet and unassuming in his tastes he
made firm friends, and his death came
with a suddenness that appalled, people.
His life was in his home, to which he
cordially welcomed all who came. For
number of years he had been constantly
in the Waterbury Record Office with his
son-i law, but for three weeks had not
been there except for short time. How
ever, it was only four or five days since
he had been confined TO the house, when
jaundice developed and his death was
caused by the results of that disease,
probably blood poisoning.
DR.. p. G. insolvency of Burlington
came last evening for counsel, but Mr.
Moody was unconscious when he arrived
and all hope Of relief from an operation
was abandoned. He died later in the
evening.
The deceased was very active In the
good work OF the Methodist Episcopal
church, of which the Moody family has
for years been one of the strong fam
lies

Moreover, the governmental center OF
the state is located only II miles north
Of Roxbury, the capital city being, IN
turn, located about the center OF Wash
ington county. So, TO all intents and
purposes, Roxbury-Roxbury OF 6l5 peo-
pie and 23,63l acres, Roxbury of the
steep railroad grade, Roxbury OF the
narrow but picturesque carriage road
is, in fact, the hub of Vermont. II is
true, however, that no one would sus'
pect the same in passing through the va.
cant acres whether in midsummer or In
mid. winter.
