lows:
The work that a minister of the Cos
pei does for the community is as infan-
gible as electricity, which has been in
the world from the beginning but was
never properly harnessed until some 30
years ago. Ii the world would take the
gospel as seriously, there would be still
more light in dark places and still
greater convenience in making our lit
Tie journeys through life In these
columns we have told of manufacturers
and merchants, of physicians and advo-
Gates, of artists and artisans. Let lis
be fair to those who carry burdens
which are concealed but none the less
heavy-to those who are putting a
deeper meaning into life than those
who I'LL material wants. One OF these
Is the Rev. Guy c. Lamson, d. D., who
has just been made general secretary
of the American Baptist Publication
society, succeeding the Rev. A. J. Row

take up the larger work of general
secretary his talents will be given am
pie scope and the best wishes Of his
host of friends should prove a sustain

'But why doesn t Hughes admit he

Gently elected, and for almost two
years he has been president of the
Greater Vermont association. In both
these organizations he has taken much
time from his private business in order
to give them all they required. The
duties of both positions have required
him to spend much time out of town
to the natural neglect of his own af,
fairs. He has done this with the great
est good will and has accepted it as a
necessity of the offices.
