do not make an army, else heather
China and tawdry India would rule
the world. The strength of an army
lies deep in the people from which its
soldiers spring. The secret of tle
of our Vermont soldiers is that they
came from homes strong and pure,
uncOntamnated and indebted. Hered-
ity and environment make the man and
as we dedicate this monument to New
fame soldiers we should fail in our duty
if we did not also remember that it
likewise a tribute TO the people who
produced those soldiers
Mr.. Howe said that the generation
of men and women who preceded the
Civil war were remarkable people.
They lived in the days before the emf
grafton of the young and active began
to sap the lifebood of the rural towns
Every man worked, and in the sweat
of his brow did he eat his bread. They
had the spirit that knows no fear, and
it is no wonder that the sons proved
equal to the task. lie called attention
to the fact that the average age of
tlose who enlisted in the Civil war
was only 20 years, while hundreds of
thousands were boys of l6, II and IS,
and some even younger. at was the
striplings who went to the war and
fought the battles that saved the
Union"
In an effective word picture Mr..
Howe traced these boys in the service
and closed by saying: "These were the
boys to whom we dedicate monument
today. The generations of the future
will think of them always as boys
In the idealism of memory they can
never be anything but young and brave
and strong and true. The rest of us
may grow old and pass away to be
remembered again no more, but SC
long as this shrine shall stand and this
flag endure the children of the future
will remember them as they were and
honor them for the glorious service
they rendered"

STATUE OF VIRGIN CROWNED.
Procession of Over 200 and Reception
Of Members Into Sodalities in Ro-
man Catholic Church.

The ceremony of the browning of
the statue of the Blessed Nergin and
reception of 10 young women INTO the
senior Sodality and 10 little girls into
the junior Sodality took place Sunday
evening in St. Michael's Roman Cath
Ollie church which was crowded with
an appreciative congregation. The
procession numbered over POO, which
was the largest and most beautiful in
years.
Promptly at 80 the cross bearer
accompanied by two acolytes and the
st. John Berchmans sanctuary boys,
headed the procession which filed in
to the church in the following order:
May queen, Miss Alice Long, with her
attendants, the Misses Mary Scanlon
and Gertrude Austin; the pillow, upon
which rested the handsome new crown
was deliberately trimmed in white ana
blue and was carried by the Misses
Monica Mann and Mary Stoite, the
streamer bearers being the Misses
Mary Riley, Catherine lIeaphy, Jennie
Masajada and Ellen Anderson. Next
follows 60 garland girls, some carrying
baskets others bouquets of lilies and
choice flowers.
Passing up the aisle singing My
Own Dear Mother Mary, the process
sion separated, while the queen with
her attendants and flower bearers en-
tered the sanctuary to crown and dec
crate the statue.
The choir and members of the Soda
ity sang Unfold, Unfold, MS the crown
was placed on the head of the statue.
Immediately after the browning the
new electric star blaZed forth adding
beauty and light to the scene. The
altar steps from statue to floor were
banked with cut flowers. ferns and OF
chids.
Following the browning the new
members were received into the Sodal-
ity, and as the sweet, clear tones of
the Act of Conservation penetrated to
the farthest extremity of the church
many present were effected to tears.
After the reception the pastor, Rev.
j. p. Rand, addressed the Socialists in
touching language, pointing out to
them their duties as Children of Mary
and the obligations they were under of
following their Mother in the virtues
which characterized her life-humility
purity and charity.
The rendering of Stearns's Magni

Speaking from a national point of
view, he thought there would be little
of honor or glory for any of the coun-
tries engaged in the European struggle
when the accounting comes, and said:
'What n contrast to all this was the
part our soldiers-you vcterans-took

Judge Fish said that when Lincoln

the South, failing to comprehend his
kind and generous purpose, rashly con
cluded that he would seek to overthrow
slavery. They adopted the principles
OF state rights that had been taught
them by the fathers, and inspired by
their leadership the cotton states Sc
ceded from the Union. In the anxiety
for the Union slavery was for the time
