ly of B. L. Bobroff, of Milwaukee, who

of pleasing the vanities of those who
may be generally conceded as great.

the tiny trichina worms which had
bored into the lungs
DR.. j. NJ. Allen of st. Johnsburv was
called in consultation Wednesday after
noon, but was unable to give much hope
for the recovery of Mrs. Heath owing
to the rapid advance made by the dis.

serious effect upon the mother and

VT. CONFERENCE
ENDOWMENT FUND
The Goal Is $3.50, O0O-Campaign Part
of General Movement Throughout
Methodism,

The Vermont conference is engaged
III campaign for raising an endow-
ment fund IN behalf of its retired min
listers and their families. The goal is
$l50,000, $4,000 of which is already
raised and safely invested. This cam
palgn Is only part of general move
ment throughout Methodism for secur-
ing SlO,O00,000 for the same general
purpose. The appeal is made upon the
basis that the contract made at the al
tars of the church is for life. and that
misfortune or old age does not inyaIi-
date the claim. Intelligent and gener-
Gus laymen are responding to that APP
peal. a splendid Illustration of both
intelligent intarst and catholicitv of
spirit is found in the provisions of the
will of the late Mrs Willis James of
New York city by which the Congrega-
tiOnal, Presbyterian and Methodist
Episcopal denominations will each re-.
ceive $750,000 for this worthy cause.
In the Vermont conference the cam
paign is being directed by a commits.
sion of ID members, with Rev. l.. DIN
Sherburne Of Montpelier. as campaign
manager. The conference territory is
divided into three districts, and each
district has its own committees that
work in their own way. but in harmony
with the plans of the campaign mana
ger. The general plan is to have all
the churches visited with an appeal.
which will be followed with an inten-
sive canvass for offerings and the secur-
ing of aid through deeds and wills The
Vermont conference at the present time
has As claimants. The number of
claimants, the needs which they repre-,
sent is constantly changing. These
worthy men and women are in no sense
mendicants but are either broken in
health or nearing the sunset of life,
and are regarded by their associates
with reverence and love. To make adc-
quate provision for them will take
time. but the aroused conscience of an
intelligent and devoted laity will not
rest until the task is accomplished.
