ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE EVIL
Are Those Which Draw Away From
Church Efforts, Says Rev. Z. F. Newell.

The subject of Rev. f. F. NewelPs SER
mon at the Hedding M. E. church last
/ night was, Christianity and Amuse-
ments." The text was from | Thessalo-
mans ll-l2. Mr.. Newells main idea was
should so conduct himself as to be worthy
| of his faith and hts God, and that in so
far as he INDUCES in amusements which
tend to lead him away from the church
rather than toward it, or cause him to
have tendency to make light of the
worship of God, he is doing wrong. A
certain amount of recreation is necessary
to life and happiness, and wholesome
play equalizes our powers. A person
need not always 90 about with a long
face to be a Christian, but he should be
sure to choose the right kind of amuse-
ments. The choice should be decided by
the conscience of the person himself rath-
err than by any stated rule such as may
be found in the Methodist Discipline"
There are some forms of amusement,
not bad in themselves, which have be-
come bad through abuse and have as a
result bad reputation. These should be
avoided
Card playing, when prizes are played
for, is form of gambling; but leaving
that aside for the moment, where is the
gain in a game of cardsH The converse
ton over a card game is certainly not
enlightening or elevating and such men
as Addison have pronounced a card game
at best as waste of time. No card
player is apt TO be an active Christian.
Pool playing at pool rooms is bad
enough so that there is law against |
allowing minors to frequent such places, |
so there must be wrong in It. The gamb-
ling habit is soon formed, and the very
atmosphere of the pool room is detrimen
tai to Christian growth.

vermont's Rifle Team.

Vermonters have reason to be pleased
with the record made by the rifle team
representing the organized militia of the
state at the national competition at
jacksonville, Fla, in which teams from
all the states in the union, from all the
branches of the army, the marine corps,
the navy, and the two government acad-
emies were eligible.
The Vermont team made marked i'm
proyement over former years. The teams
are divided into three classes based upon
their standing in the previous competi-
tion. Vermont was in the last class,
very near at the bottom of the list for
the whole country. This year she
jumped from well nigh the bottom into
the second class. and well up in the list,
which cannot be considered other than
most creditable performance.
Only one New England state did bet
ter and that was Massachusetts,. The
Others trailed behind old Vermont. The
showing is especially gratifying at this
time when interest in affairs military
Is keen and when the people are fol-
lowing such things more than has been
their custom. The cause Of Nermont's
good record Is not difficult 20 find. The
team this year was sent 10 Jacksonville
in time to have several days practice
over the range on which the competition
WAS 10 be held.

tied appropriations TO the National
Guard. cannot be exported 20 equal

the fulfilled figure of life. If you are un-
