Pleasant Midsummer Meeting at
Barton and Lake WiIIoughby.


The annual midsummer meeting
of the Vermont Press association be-
gan with a banquet Thursday night
at the Hotel Barton in Barton. The
visitors were met at the station by
President w. H. Gilpin, and after a
brief social chat the banquet began,
about 80 sitting down.
Frank Howe, editor of the Ben
nington Banner, was the POSTMASTER.
Congressman Frank L. Greene,
formerly editor of the ST. Adams
Messenger, was the principal speak
er. He gave many "reminiscences and
said he wished the Vermont press
would discuss national subjects more
instead of state subjects.
Frank Howe said more Vermont
money should be loaned at home in
stead of outside the state. Individu-
ais have taken 100000 in new
farm mortgages outside the state
during the past year, but the banks
have not increased their farm mort
gage loans. He said that loaning
more at home would help develop
our state.
W. H. Crockett of Burlington
spoke of the Publicity Bureau, say
ing that there should be a book
showing Vermont to be a good state
in which to establish homes.
Walter J. Bigelow of the st. Johns
bury Caledonian responded to the
toast to the ladies, speaking espe-
cially of the work of the newspaper
women of Vermont.
The program also included the
reading of an excellent original
French dialect poem by Donald To-
n In Of he
Special entertainers were Frank
French of ST. Johnsbury, with songs
and James P. Thrasher of Natick,
Mass, with dialect recitations.
Friday morning the visitors had a
delightful ride on Crystal lake. Autos
conveyed the party to the head of
Lake Willoughby, where, following
dinner at the hotel, was held the
business meeting that had been plan
ned for the evening.
A letter was read from President
Guy Potter Benton of the University
of Vermont, in which he said if the
association would hold its winter
gathering in g Burlington, the Uni
versity would be glad to tender it
banquet, and he also offered the
use of the Billings library for their
meetings. The invitation was accept
ed, and the meeting will be held in
Burlington some time in January or
February.
Later the party repaired to the
hotel veranda, and James P. Thrash
er of Natick, Mass, gave number
of dialect recitations, including Sc
lections from Rowland Robinson and
DR.. Drummond.
The gathering then boarded a
steamer and enjoyed a ride down
Lake Willoughby.
Automobiles then took the press
men to the Hotel Barton, whence
they started for their respective
homes, after one of the most enjoy
able trips the association has ever
had.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Edited By Careless Jane

pect him to ask us to return. If
this spirit of disrespect and lack
of reverence for the things which
we really hold most dear would
only rebound to the hurt of the in
dividual by whom it is practiced
lit would soon find its own rene
Idly, but aside from becoming more
or less contagious, the whole body
is so adversely affected that it be-
comes us to consider awhile.
How much good we all could do
by changing our manner toward
sacred places and showing some
regard for our minister and the
thoughts he is trying to teach us,
and by proper spirit Of rever-
ence to him and to his God and
our God and thus encourage him
to his best efforts, allowing our
neighbours mind to remain in a
mood to receive the thoughts he
is trying to impress.
This does not mean to discour-
age an atmosphere of brotherly
love and kindness to the stranger
within our gates, but we can make
the stranger feel that he is well
come without wringing our necks
to watch him. The poor peasant
OF Europe, with all his ignorance,
is made almost sublime by rever-
ence for his religion and his God.
The attitude of reverence does
so much to place the mind of man
in a receptive mood that teaching
or preaching to people without
this spirit is utterly lost, and par
ents can hardly expect children
to honor them who do not regard
their creator and his house with
a heart of reverence.

Reverence

"More than any one thing, A
merica today needs spirit OF
reverence. f."
Let us think about this state
ment from one of the ablest prea-
chers of today and we will agree
that America, especially in our
small towns, is drifting into an at
titude of disrespect to our most
cherished sand honored institu-
tons; and we meet it as well in
an ever growing degree in the at
titude of children to parents, of
the young to the aged, and of pu-
pills to teachers.
The people Of no other country
in the world, perhaps, are so thou
ghtless in their daily behavior as
the people of America, and in con-
sequence we are so much the los
ers.
The church better illustrates
our growing lack of reverence
than any other of our institutions.
This is not intended to criticise
any of the modern methods used
to advance the cause, nor for the
consideration of those who do not
regard it worthy of respect, but
to consider what we may do to
correct the evils resulting from
our thoughtlessness. The ordi-
nary church service has become so
much of a social function that all
reverence for God, the church, the
minister or his sermon has been
lost.
We approach this shrine taking
with us all the small talk and Cos
| sip of the week; take with us
small change to pay for neighbor-
ly purchases and borrow and re-
turn books and small articles.
If an individual has a thought
of reverence for the day, the in
stitution, or for the minister and
his sermon or to his God, it will
most surely be dissipated by our
rude and thoughtless behavior,
and the effect is most plainly seen
in our disordci1y dispensing.
We would not violate the con-
iventional rules of polite society
by approaching our neighbor s
house in the manner that most Of
us go and return from divine wor-
ship; if so we should hardly ex-
