Five-Year Campaign Under Way.

The subject of the morning discourse
at the Baptist church was The Five
Year Program, and the goal set by the
convention. The Jamaica church s
share is to baptize four or five new
members annually, to keep one person
in college, to contribute $130 per
member for missionary or ministerial
aid, to increase the benevolences Is
per cent, and during the five years to
send forth one as minister or mis-
sionary. One year closed last May.
There have been II persons baptized,
one young man is still in college and
the benevolences have been increased
so that the future looks encouraging.
Plans and methods for further work
were then talked of and urged, includ-
ing prayer groups, family prayer, per
sonal work by the members and sub
scribing for UNCONVENTIONAL papers.
Committees will be appointed soon for
the various lines of work.

MAKING LIST CT FARMS.
State Publicity Bureau to Help Fill De-
mana for Vermont Summer Homes.

Several thousand inquiries having been
during the past few months regarding vari-
Gus phases of the summer tourist business
IN Vermont, ard the number Of tourists
visiting this state in 1916 apparently hav-
ing been larger than III any preceding year
The time seems opportune to devote more
attention to the advantages Vermont
offers as an ideal location for summer
homes The three principal attractions
which the state offers in this respect are:
Beauty and variety of scenery.
Neamess to large centers of population.
Moderate prices for suitable sites.
In order to reach large number of per
sons who may desire to purchase sites fer
summer homes, the state publicity bureau
proposes to publish for free distribution a
list OF small farms and cottage sites for
sale. and any person owning such property
in Vermont and desiring to sell it NAV Sc
cure the insertion of an advertisement
without charge in the proposed book, by
sending description of the property to

locations on the slope of a hill or noun

! limited number, and most property of this
kind at the present time brings to the
owners very little revenue

exists an opportunity very largely to in
crease Nemont's wealth and prosperity

peals to many persons employed in bust
