people had identified themselves with the cause of the empire.
 The viceroy spoke of the surprise with which he had read various ar ticles in American papers, represent ing India as laboring under an op pressive rule and shaken by revolu- tionary and seditious activities. "The British government" con- tinued Lord Chelmsford. "has not deigned formally to repudiate such calunnies. Perhaps this has been s1
 mistake but for my part the reply which I give you is this: Go Where- ever you please throughout the length ! and breadth of India. Study our Work ! and study our difficulties. No sentry
 will be in the way and no secret agent
 will shadow you. Talk to whom you l please; see what you please; do what
 you please. and then write what you
 please. In India we have nothing to l conceal. Will you tell your country 1 men that?"
 The correspondent called attention
 to the changing policy occurring in
 Inda and to the fact that certain
 Indian politicians were advocating
 that still more of the affairs of gov ernment be turned over to them. No doubt at the present nom ent 1 political problems are attracting the greatest attention both in and out of India," replied the viceroy, "but none the less 1t is mistake to suppose that these are new problems which have recently come up, or even diff i ferent problems from those on which we have worked in the past The po- litical development of India has al- ways commanded our anxious at tention and has always been pro- gressive.
 British statesmen have always conceived in a generous spirit their responsibilities to India and the h. dans. However, the rate of definite political progress has been slow, but constitutional development can hard ly be other than slow. and I have little doubt that whatever the future of the Indian policy may be. the h. dian historians of it's later growth will ascribe no blame to the power which has, with due deliberation, guided their country through the early and difficult ways of political development

 FOR A. L. MINISTER
Rev. J. ". Denton Accepts InVi- tation to Remain in PlainVille
MAY BUY VOTING MACHINES

{ Adjourned Special Town Meeting Ex- l pccted to Decide Against Returning to Australian Ballot-Former Pas ! Rev. J. William Denton yesterdav i formally notified the members of the ] Advent Christian church of his ac- ceptance of the invitation to remain 1 here as pastor for another year. Ap- i Dreciative of the excellent results he has obtained since coming to Plain vile, the congregation was anxious to have him continue in the pastorate. and they extended a unanimous call to him, voting him an increase in sal
 ary of $10O a year.
 Since MT. Denton took charge of
 the affairs of the church, it's growth
 has been steady and today it has 1 large mem bership. It's financial con- dition has improved in remarkable fashion and is now regarded as ex- cellent.
 The church is self supporting and through the eIIOftS or the pastor has
 been able to pay all it's debts without seeking aid from the conference Until MT. Denton came here, part of the pastors salary was paid from the con- ference appropriation for missions. The condition of the treasury, how ever, recently caused the members to vote against asking for help, and they
 expect to continue paying expenses entirely through their own efforts.
 MT. Denton announced yesterday that he will spend the next seven days in Sharon where he will assist in revival services in the Advent Chris tian church of that place. His pulpit will be supplied next Sunday morning by Rev. w. s. Bezanson of Bris- tol, Rev. Frederick Viggers of Spring field giving the sermon in the even ing
