were right in not giving him their sup
port, Not only was the man narrow in
his theology, as were many of the
strongest and best men of that day, not
only was he highly emotional as many
evangelists have been, but he was UNI
charitable, censorious, rude, and super
fetal, His sermons are without intel
ectual force and void Of moral appeal
The only motive he presents is the
fear of punishment, He is direct,
earnest, skilled in popular appeal, but
his sermons are on IA distinctly lower
plane than that Of the high tradition Of
the New England pulpit, Many men
who shared his beliefs have left US ser
mons Of real dignity and power, filed
with cogent reasoning and lofty ideal
ism. There is nothing Of this in Bur
chard, but only cheap sensationalism,
appeal to fear and the lower emotions,
and endeavor to make religion popular
by the language of the street,
1t took Middlebury College nearly
half century to regain what was lost
through the unfortunate controversy
over this travelling preacher. There is
no one living who knew the college in
its early prosperity and strength, as it
was before the blight Of the Burchard
controversy nearly took away its life,
The tradition of the college is Of the
feebleness in which this disastrous cpl
sode left it, 1t is something to know
that there was an earlier tradition of
far greater relative strength and pros
perty and that the weak position Of the
college for many years was not due to
its location, nor to any cause inherent
in its form of government or system of
education, but only to mischievous
troubler of Israel whose apparent zeal
and effectiveness carried away the
judgment of men who in many respects
were great leaders,

NEWFANE SOLDIERS MONU
MENT.

A pamphlet has been published con-
tanning the oceedings at the dedica'
ton of the Soldiers Monument at
Newfane on Memorial Day. The prln-
cipal address was delivered by Judge
Frank l.. Fish of Vergennes. 1t is a
model of what such an address should be-
The contrast between the present war
in Europe and the great American con-
flict is drawn skillfully and the senti'
ments which should now govern our
country with reference to Prepared
ness are portrayed periodically and yet
judicaly. But the most valuable part
of the address to the citizens of New
fame must be the recital of the deeds OF
her soldiers. Everyone is catalogued
and his place in the army or navy put
on permanent record. 1t is proud
story for the brave little town OF New
fame This is the kind of pamphlet
which would have rejoced the heart OF
the late Horace Bailey, and he would
have promptly catalogued it and given
il a place in his Vermont collection, as
must now be done by those who have
succeeded to the guardianship Of his
treasures.

ATTRACTIONS IN AMERICA.

The wonderful beauty of many parts
of our country and the marvellous
natural phenomena from Niagara Falls
to the Grand Canyon are the subject of
the National Geographic Magazine for
April. 1t is an eloquent and timely plea
by the editor, Mr.. Gilbert H. Grosvenor,
to the American traveller to become
acquainted with the attractions of his
native land before spending his time
and money in other lands. Before
the war 100 American tourists crossed
the Atlantic to one who crossed the
United States. Starting from our
Eastern coast he calls attention briefly
but suggestvely, to every place OF
special interest, ending with Mt.
Mckinley, which towers nearly one
mile higher than the loftiest peak IN
Europe" An entire lifetime could be
spent in seeing natures masterpieces
in our land. The great pleasure given
by the text is greatly enhanced by the
beauty and interest of the numerous
illustrations, many of which are in
color.

LIRRARIEs FOR RURAL READERs.

The Knickerbocker Press, an Albany
N. Y, daily enforces the responsibility
Of town and village libraries to bring
books to the doors of farm houses on
rural routes by a quotation from the adj
dress of President Thomas at the dedl'
cation of the Bixby Memorial Library
at Vergennes, which was published re-
Gently in "New York State Libraries
The press says,
In recent address at the opening
of new town library in Vermont,
DR., John NJ, Thomas, president OF
Middebury College pleaded for rural
library routes, delivering books free
of charge to the farthest homes in his
State DR., Thomas said'
"Think of the loneliness of the
farms way out on the hills, The peo'
pie have become accustomed to IT,,
but that means they have steeled their
souls to deprivation of any large and
active share in the throbbng life Of the
world. look to see the time when
every farmers wife can have a novel
less than year old deposited in her
kitchen at least twice month, when Il
man tilling his few acres way up on the
mountainsde can receive from some
central library the most attractive
magazine bearing on farm life. ~
Work of this kind is already being
carried on in some regions, AT Hagars'
town, Md, there are sixteen rural
routes, over which books are taken by
wagon to the country homes on a regu-
lar schedule New York States travel
ing libraries serve the same purpose to
some extent. Last year the State sent
out in this way 60, 6lO volumes, in col
ectons averaging thirty-eight volumes
each, to !, 6l2 institutions or groups OF
persons. OF these libraries, public
schools received 1872, local study clubs
29l, small public Libraries 1872, other or
CARNATIONS 1879, groups of rural read
ers 1870 and private homes l2I Since
Melvil Dewey originated the plan, the
circulation of travelling Libraries in New
York State has amounted to COPS, 4Os
volumes. This is splendid record, but
its development, with particular refer
ence to the rural home should be urged,

FACTS OF INTEREST FROM CON
SULAR REPORTS.

Commerce Reports" is the title of a
daily publication by the Department of
Commerce which contains accurate in
formation of conditions in all parts of
the world often of much interest and
value. 1t consists almost wholly of eX-
tracts from reports sent to Washing
ton by our consuls, relating of course
mostly to business matters. But they
also call attention to everything which
shows progress or growth of the country
in which they are stationed. For In
stance in one of the most recent num-
bers the commercial attache of our
Chinese embassy writes OF what is
being done to restore the forests to
treeless China. An Arbor Day has
been established and the people every
where have been exhorted by the gov
eminent to observe it by planting trees.
On April G the Minister of Agriculture
and number of officials went to hill
near Picking and there set an example
to the rest of the nation for the observ-
ance of the day by personally planting a
number of trees. In one of the last
numbers our consul at Victoria tells of
what is being done in British Columbia
to promote agricultural education in
the schools, which is worthy our atten-
ton. The Provincial Government, cor
responding to our State government,
"has decided to make special grants for
the improvement of school grounds and
farm education conditional upon the eX-
penditure of equal amounts by the re-
spective school boards. If they have
done the preliminary work on the
gardens, which must be not less than
$500 square feet for each one room
school with an average of Is pupils, and
each room of graded school, and have
provided set of garden tools for each
scholar, then they will receive the
special grants. These can be used,
among other things, in purchasing flower
seeds and plants, ornamental shrubs,
vines and trees. There are also to be
given "bonus grants" to teachers who
have attended the rural science summer
schools.
