CONGREGATIONAL HISTORY
Valuable Book Written by John Nj.
ComstOck. Now For Sale.

The promised history of the
Vermont Congregational churches
has lust been published by The Gale
DOMAIN Company of st. Johnsbury
and is a volume of nearly 200 pages,
the only illustration being the por-
trait of the author, John M. Com
stock of Chelsea. Mr.. Comstock has
been for many years the statistical
secretary of the denomination in Yer
mont and this book is the only one
of it's kind that has been printed.
In the foreword the author acknowl-
edges his Indebtedness to two earlier
historians, Rev. Pliny H. White and
Rev. Azel w. Wild, both of whom
had collected much material for
history of the denomination in Yer
mont In fact, Mr.. Wild had pre-
pared the copy for such book, but
its probable size precluded ready
sale and his project was reluctantly
abandoned. Mr.. Comstock's book is
of much smaller scope, less than 16
pages being devoted to the history
of the denomination in Vermont, and
the balance a complete and accurate
list of the pastors of every one of the
.214 churches, and others that have
since disbanded, an alphabetical list
of every ordained Congregational
minister in the state, and Vermont $
contribution to the ministry arranged
by towns. While no one expected
that this. book would be one of the
hest sellers it's purpose has been
fulfilled in preserving for all time
the personal record of the denomina-
ton in Vermont. The compilation
of the book has involved a vast
amount of patient research on MI.
Comstock's part and he deserves the
thanks of every one interested In
perpetuating the historical matter
which the work contains. 1t is pup.
Iished at $3.50 plus the postage Oh
six cents.

EXPRESS For Russia

That the present situation prom
ises well for a closer relation be-
tween manufacturers in the United
States and the Russian Empire Is
indicates today by George G. ray
lor, president of the American Ex-
press Co. in announcing the extern
sion of the company's activities 70
that country by the appointment OF
Edward F. Wales-Smith, for many
years traffic agent for the express
company at Paris as commercial
agent at Petrograd.
"Our present step in this 1mpor-
tant field" said Mr.. Taylor, lis tax
en- after full conference with the
Honorable G. J. Medzikhovsky, com
mercial attache of the Imperial Rus
sian embassy in the United States:
Already the undercurrents OF
trade point to new and well defined
connections between the commercial
interests of Russia and our OWL
country and in view of the cordlal
feelings which have always existed
between the two governments, the
time seems expedient for progressive
action on our part.

An Old CaledOnian.

A copy of the Caledonian for
April 10, 1912, has been forwarded
to this Office and is most interesting,
particularly when contrasted with.
the modern county newspaper. The
news is entirely national with
small amount of local advertising.
The st. Johnsbury Female Seminary,
taught by Miss Mary Gilman, with
Miss Charlotte Paddock as instruc-
tor in music, is advertised; patent
medicine was as much in evidence
as now; the Fairganks Co. offered
for sale elegant parlor stoves !;
Danville furnished the tailors ana
lawyers for the county; farms and
real estate generally were better ad-
vcrtised than now; probate court
notices from Orleans county were
published; the Boston dry goods
houses as now offering tempting bar
gains to country trade, and the death
column was much longer than the
marriage. The political news is in
teresting and shows the tariff was
as much discussed then as now.
