enough TO moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most il not all of your

more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of il. no matter how
much dandruif you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair win be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel

the historic so-called "eight-day'
matches redolent with acrid fumes.
The era of the sulphur match is
well-nigh completely passed, but this
country consumes annually 100000
tons of sulphur, and as a matter of
fact, it has become virtually an es-
sential commodity in many different
direct Ons. Furthermore, it is a COM
modify in which the United States
has come to dominate the world
Prompted by such considerations.
the United States National Museum
has arranged an exhibit calculated to
present at a glance just what sulphur
is, where it comes from and the uses

our childhood in all probability came

The exhibit now to be seen in the

model which shows the occurrence Of

it melts and flows practically into

RE-MEMORIAL SUNDAY
Rev. Alfred Poole Grint the Speaker
at the Sunday Service.

The annual memorial service for
the Grand Army of the Republic by
the united churches of st. Johnsbury
was held at the South church Sunday
evening, the sermon being delivered
by Rev. Alfred Poole Grint, rector of
ST. Andrews church. Only 10 veterans
of the Union army and II mem bers
of the Woman's Relief corps and one
Son of Veteran were present, but the
church was well filed with townspeo-
pie. Another feature of the service
was the excellent singing Of the Acad-
envy Glee clubs, also a solo by Miss
Edwina Blodgett with violin obligato
by Marjorie Cramton. Apple bios
SONS and the national co1ors were
used for decorations of the pulpit
The Rev. Paul D. Moody and Rev. E.
P Lee, G. A r., assisted in the SER
vice.
The sermon by DR.. Grint was able
and a masterpiece in diction. He used
the word remember" spoken by
Christ in the parable of Dives and
Lazarus and a verse from the song of
Moses, THE Lord is my strength and
my song; and is become my salvation.
He is my God and I will praise him;
My fathers God and will exalt him."
as his text. He would have the people
remember that selfishness in a nation
is detrimental the same as in an in
dividual. All nations of the world be-
long to one family and the suffering
of one becomes the suffering Of the
others. The sufferings and wrongs
of Belgium and Armenia are world
wide in their effects. The nation that
passes these nations by will surely
suffer the fate of Dives.
The children of Israel were very
grateful to God when they were de-
livered from the hands of the Egyp-
tians and broke into praise. But as
their wealth and prosperity increased
they forgot God, worshipped idols
and were punished by being taken
captives. Then they turned again to
God. The lesson for us is that right
eousness exalteth a nation but when
its religion decays disaster follows.
The supreme duty of Christianity is
sacrifice. Patriotism is sacrifice and
if nations patriotism is taken away
the soul of the nation becomes dead.
The possibilities of patriotism and
sacrifice were shown in this country's
early history when the fathers were
ready to sacrifice themselves for the
country's good and again in the great
Civil war.
On an occasion like this patriotism
should be emphasized. But other
things suggest themselves. Support
ed by the bayonet and tremendous
military power the principles are be-
ing upheld that international agree
ments are only scraps of paper and
military necessity is the excuse for de-
stroying nations and massacring in
nocent people. These principles are
alien to our sense of justice and in
these conditions preparedness is the
primary necessity of the hour. We
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1916-05-31

have become the richest nation of the
world but we would be a very feeble
nation in the presence of any one de-
string to pick a quarrel with US. Pa
triotism demands an adequate prepar-
edness for the possibility of war.
He then quoted from Frederick
Robertson of the things that are
worse than death, the decay of man
hood, loss of enthusiasm, no generous
hearts and the mere calculation for
the almighty dollar. He spoke of the
failure of the members of the Texas
militia to respond to the presidents
call for service on the Mexican border
which indicates a decay in our ma
tional vigor, of the enormous wealth
of the country and the pretentious lux
ury of the times as features of present
day life. During the past 80 years
