BILLY" SUNDAY COMMENDED
Barre Thinks More of His Enthusiastic
Spirit is Needed.

A few OF the outstanding features of
the Sunday revivals in Boston were dis
eussed by Rev. b. j. Lehigh, pastor of
the First Baptist church, in brief ad
dress before the Sunday school yester-
day forenoon. Mr.. Lehigh, along with
Revs. j. f. Piani and n. C. Edwall of
Barre, was among the Vermont clergy
and laity who passed week in Boston.
returning home Saturday evening. Rev.
Mr. Lehigh probably echoed the senti-
ments of his brethren in the denomina
tion when he said that Boston, New
England and the world at large needs
more of the militant evangelism which
the ex- x-baseball player is preaching. There
were unusually large congregations at
the First Baptist church Sunday morn
ing and evening, but the pastor touched
but lightly on his observations of the
week.
Practically all of the Vermont visitors
concurred in the opinion that a good bit
of Sunday preaching would do world
of good in Vermont The delegates to
the winter conference of the Vermont
State Baptist convention met each fore
noon in Ford hall and then usually ad-
iourned in the afternoon or evening to
the tabernacle of Sunday

"ORGANIZED EMOTION
Cannot Take the Place of Brains, De-
clares HadIey of Yale.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. ll,---In reaf-
flrming his belief in military prepared
ness, President Hadley Of Yale, in his
annual report, made public yesterday
says:
Il believe that organized emotion can
never take the place of brains; that
Yale's first duty in preparing American
citizens, whether for peace or war, is to
adhere to rigid standards OF discipline
and scholarship and well developed sense
of proportionate values.
'1f our students have these things as
basis" the report continues, "the more
they prepare themselves for the possible
requirements OF military service the bet

NO MEDIATION OFFER
Or Suggestion for Peace Being Made By
United States.

Washington, Dec. ll.-Offerings of me-
diation or suggestions of peace to the
European nations have not been made by
the United States, they are not being
borne across seas by Ambassador Gerard
and will not be broached by this govern
ment in the near future unless there is
some quite unexpected turn in world
events.
These facts are stated authoritatively
bv one of the highest officials of the gov
ernment to counteract reports to the con
trary which have been generally pub
lished, much to the embarrassment OF
the administration and to the mislead-
ing of foreign nations. The facts set
forth and the details following may be
said to express the administration views
of the situation as affecting prospects
for peace.
In official circles it is felt that the in
creasing and apparently authoritative ru
mors that the United States is planning
some move for peace are calculated above
all else to destroy chances of peace, and
no matter what their origin, to defeat
their own ends.
Indeed this misunderstanding has ~be-
come so serious that an official denial has
been completed, probably through the
state department. The president, how
ever, has preferred to disassocate him
self entirely from any such announce
ment, no matter how made, in order
that he might stand untrammeled on his
original offer of mediation at this begin
ming of the war.

peace advocates. also will cross to the op.
position said. thus creating a visible
split in the labor party. In this opinion
on current issues the Nationalists will
decide their attitude at meeting to-
morrow Probably they will press the
Irish claims with emphasis, demanding
immediate changes in the Irish admins
tration and the release OF the Irish
men arrested during the rebellion.

NEW ORGAN CAMPAIGN.
Has Been Started at st. Mon'ca's--Fine
Instrument to Be Secured.

Parishioners of ST. Monica's church are
turning to the new year with high hopes
of replacing the antiquated organ IN the
choir loft of their church with new in
strumcnt before many months. In re-
sponse to suggestions made from the pull
pit Sunday morning by Rev. FIR. Z. NJ.
Mekcnna, a representative number oil
men and women of the church met in the
Knights of Columbus hall in the after
noon and completed preliminary plans
for the new organ campaign. There was
a general feeling that the time is at
hand for equipping the church with an
up-to.date instrument and to the end
that subscriptions may be received and
accounted for as rapidly as they come in,
a committee of five men and five women
was appointed to take charge of the
work. As part of the organ campaign
it is proposed to devote the income from
public bazaars, etc, to the organ fund
1t is thought that an instrument costing
$4,000 and possibly more may be pur-
chased.
The organ now in use is a splendid spc-
cimen of the organ makers art in other
days but it has nearly outlved its use
fulness and the need for new instru-
ment is described as imperative. The
present organ has been used in Catholic
service for upward of eighty years al
though not always at st. Monicas church.
Around twenty five years ago it was pur-
chased by Catholic laymen in Barre with
the assistance of the priest in charge
Prior to that time, it had been used in
the Roman Catholic cathedral of the
Holy Cross in Boston. 1t is rich in as
socations with Catholic history of New
England in the past eight years, but
rapid strides have been made in organ
building since it was produced and the
parishioners OF st. Monica's feel that the
days of its usefulness are about done
Some years ago an expert organ repair
man worked on the instrument and the
sum of $500 was expended in the work,
but it has steadily relapsed to its for
mer condition.
