When any young woman can stanc

men and women. Doubtless hel
name will never reach the Hall o1
Fame, to be sure some shall have for
gotten her name, subject and lllustra
ton, but the indelible impression for
good left in this community by her
will be everlasting to her credit.
The Rev. Miss Evans, scarcely 70
years of age, used all the magnetic
power in her persuasive and conv1nc'
ing, yet unique, lecture upon the Holy
Land Monday night. While her mar
rative was a lecture, at no time did
she leave an opportunity slip to press

bright and CHEEKY narrative made
you see in your minds eye, be In
faith and move in spirit with our
Savior Jesus, travel with Him, sit
down by His side, eat and pray with
Him and view the beautiful surround
ings like as He, and taking only
spectacular part in His activities.
Her enthusiasm made your imagina-
ton vivid, faith strong and your spir-
it ardent.
You went with her to New York
and for eight days Travelled to Bo-
logne, France, thence through Swift
zerland to Rome, Italy, communed
there at Mars Hill whence your jour

thence to Constantinople, Turkey.
Hurrying into Asia Minor, we soon
came into the Bible lands. You re

devout Turkish Mohammedan, the
desert, the mode of travel, Jerusalem
Bethany, Nazareth, Bethlehem, Jappa

with her, rode with her, kneeled with
her, prayed with her, and when yor
found yourself you had returned
across the Atlantic ocean, seasick
and safely landed in Denver from
three months trip, all for rs cents
But what inspired you most was tina,

Miss Jennie Hicks and accompanied

But in emphasizing industrial educa-
ton for Liberia l do not wish to be
understood that 1t should in any Wise
supersede or he given greater promi
nence than the higher or intellectual
education. The republic needs and
must have literally men to conduct in
telligently the affairs of church and
state. The aim OF education in I4iberia
should be, as In the past, to qualify
men for this as much as any other
service in national and private life.
The future of this republic would be
seriously jeopardized and its progress
imperiled if for any cause we should

Editor Of The Manchester Journal
Manchester, VT
Dear Sir:--It is not my desire to
enter into lengthy argument, but as
4 have occasion 10 travel our roads
practically every day in the year, and
as ! find many Of them in most de-
plorable condition, would, through
the columns of your valuable paper
ask few pertinent questions.
LIST. What is being accomplished
with the money that is collected each
year for the maintenance Of our high
ways?
End. II a 20 per cent highway tax
gives up such roads as we now have,
what would be the result If the tax
rate were higher? Would we have
better highways? Or would we be
compelled to tolerate more half-work-
ed thoroughfares; more roadways fill
ed with stones, large and small, and
covered with scattered sods that are
scraped across the roads and left there
untouched; more waterbars a foot or
more high on hills where they arc
absolutely unnecessary and where
their construction amounts to nothing
but a menace to the people who are
compelled to travel over them?
3rd. Is there any good reason why
the highways of this town should not
be as good as the roads of surrounding
towns? 1t is certainly quite evident
to anyone who has occasion to ride
over the roads Of this and nearby
towns that there is something sadly
lacking here.
;. 4th Is there any laudable excuse
for piling gravel onto our roads every
year in midsummer when the chances
are that the rainfall will be insufiic-
lent to pack it before it is showed
into the bitches by heavy vehicles
or blown away? What does such road
work amount to? Ii not only proves
that there is a sad dearth of ability
somewhere, but it also costs the tax
payers of this town an immense
amount of money every year for al of
which they in return receive only dust
in their eyes and nostrils and hard
bumps from the numerous stones that
are the only remaining signs of such
long before fall.
9Th. Is there no solution for this
most exasperating condition of our
TAXPAYER.
