ST. j. NOT LILY-wHITE TOWN.
Rev. f. b. Richards breaches Strong
Sermon At North Church On
Subject of Surprising

Rev. F. B. Richards, pastor of
North Congregational church, preach
ed a strong sermon Sunday on the
subject of Surprising" He said that
ST. Johnsbury was not the Lilly
White" town that it was supposed to
be; that large quantities of liquor
were being consumed in spite of the
fact that the town was no license;
that parents supposed their children
were free from contamination when
in reality they were exposed to
temptation as much in a town like
this as they are in a large city; that
the people ignore the fate of Greece,
Rome and Palestine in the suppose
ton that this country has a sort of
divine destiny that will perpetuate
it's greatness; and that this, "the
greatest neutral nation may be get
ting a fatty degeneration of the soul
that may lead to our degradation and
possible ruin
Giving the suggestions from
which he believed the people were
wrongfulIy INDUCING in Rev. Mr..
Richards said:
THE supposition that because this
town votes no-license there is little
drinking of intoxicating liquor here.
are brought in here constantly, and
delivered even to respectable and
supposed Christian families"
He added: MANY citizens sink
back satisfied when a law has been
put on the statute books and sup
pose that it may be left to enforce
itself. Whereas the fact is that,
usually, even the sworn officers of
the law will enforce only what pub
lie sentiment demands; and eternal
vigilance is the price not only of lib
erty but also of clean moral condi-
tons in a community"
Speaking of the danger of contain
ination of the young people of the
town Mr.. Richards said: There is a
false supposition that many parents
entertain; namely that their boys and
girls are free from moral contamina-
ton and temptation because this is
such a Hly-white town; and so fail
to exercise the strong supervision and
restraint which conditions demand. ]
have lived in city and in town, and it
is my conviction that in many ways
that young people are exposed 10
temptation to evil as much in a town
like this as they are in a large city;
and in some ways, temptations are
stronger and more insidious."
Other false suggestions which the
pastor discussed were:
THAT this country has a sort of
divine destiny that will assure its
perpetuity and future greatness, re-
CARELESS of the moral and spiritual
integrity of it's people. Such suppo-
sition ignores the fate of other ma
tions; that Greece, and Rome, and
Palestine, and many others have been
favored nations" in history, and
that they have all gone down, all dis
integrated by their own moral sins
and failures.
1.-The same as for the individual
that national greatness and perma-
nence are assured by physical fatten-
ing and bloated material prosperity
Forgetting that while the nations OF
Europe are being born again through
their terrible struggle and sufferings
we, the greatest neutral nation, may
be getting a fatty degeneration OF
soul which may lead to our degrade
ton and possible ruin

CH1LDREN's DAY. NoTRE DAME.
700 Throng Church for Celebration of
Feast of the Holy Childhood
Four Babies Baptized.

Sunday was Children's day at
Notre Dame Des VICTORIES, and over
700 children thronged the church
for the celebration of the Feast of
Holy Childhood. A large offering was
given by the children at the service
for the help of unfortunate children
and following the ritualistic service,
Father Drouhin presented each child
at the altar with souvenir medal of
the ceremony.
The first part of the ceremony took
place from to o'clock, but was not
on the program. 1t consisted in adj
hitting into the church, through the
rite of baptism, four infants born
during the week, two of them being
twins.
During the baptismal service, ba-
bies and children were gathering
from all over town, and by o'clock
the church was thronged with them.
Scores of baby carriages parked on
either side of the church, testified to
the youth of the worshippers.
After the organ had somewhat
soothed down the voices of the most
enthusiastic, Father Drouhin offered
up a prayer for the health, spiritual
and physical. of all the children of
the parish, and afterwards gave them
the blessing of the church.
The 100 or more children present
walked or were carried in their pa
rents arms to the altar rail, where
Father Drouhin, assisted by his cur
ate, Father LIE Veer, gave each one
of them a souvenir medal of the cere-
mony. At the same time, the children
made their offering for the help of
other children less fortunate than
themselves, and this offering amount
ed to $50.
At the a. m. service, which is al
ways the children's mass, Father
Drouhin complimented the school
children on their spirit of sacrifice
and generosity. Sometime in July he
asked them to save during vacation
time, some of their little earnings,
and candy money toward buying
bricks in the construction of the new
rectory. Up to now they have fur
nished over $4,000 bricks, their con-
tributions beside their ordinary Sun
day offerings amounting to about
5000. The donations varied from 5
cents to SIS apiece.

Charles A Boyd then addressed the
convention on 1.-THE Challenge of a
Chance in Rural Sunday School
Work. Mr.. Boyd said, 1.-The chal-
lenge of chance is three-fold. 1t is
partly in the glory of the individual
work of one, and is a challenge of
chance to teach of God in His work
in nature, and last to make the Bible
real by it's dramatic presentation to
the young"

Two American Beauties

Here are two of the most efficient and
most beautiful cars in America.
These new Cole models are typical of
the modern American spirit. They
have clean cut lines; power and person
atty in abundance; are stunning and
smart; are swift as swallow-and as
silent.
In word they are the vogue.
Each has the giant 10 horsepower eight
cylinder motor. This motor has the
strength of a locomotive, yet all one can
hear is soft, gentle purr.
