Captivity.

Comments on Sunday School
Lesson. BY Mrs. Sallie Lyttle
Hatton. Sunday Oct 14th 1917. }
Jehovah hath done great things
for us whereof we are glad"
The Jews were chosen to do q
mighty work for God. They
we're his servants and they were
to show to the world. God and
his righteousness. They were to
uphold and proclaim to the world
the true religion with all his bless
ings. Nothing short of their
captivity could break them of
idolatry and bring them back in
line. Many great things had been
done through them in the past.
Greater thing were yet to be
done, just ahead was the advent
of the Saviour, the supreme bless
ing for mankind. The seventy
years of bondage and suffering
taught them to worship God in
spirit and in truth. They had
suffered doubly but they were
now purified, more consecrated
and closer in touch with God.
Their spirit had become as a lit
tie child. as is shown in t h e
eighty fifth Psalm, of last Sum-
days lesson. They gave more
thought to Gods work and wrote
their books of history and prophe-
sy and did important transcript
tons, all of which was necessary
for the completion OF the Old
Testament and to link it to the
New. The captivity spread the
true religion in all the Gentle
world and laid the foundation for
the spread of the Gospel OF Chriti-
anity. 1t was also a sitting of the
nation when they were taken
captive and a sitting when they
returned, for Cyrus, the King,
called for volunteers to return to
their land and build the Temple,
and that call brought out the truly
religious and patriotic Jews. An
other good result from the cap
tivity was when they started
home all the tribes of Israel were
reunited as they were in the days
of King David. Now is it not
great to know that their leader
Zerubabel whose name means,
born in Babylon. was a descend
ant of King David and also an
Lancaster of Jesus.
| Where this lesson of today ap-
plies to our lives, is in the fact
that our Heavenly Father rules
over human lives and controls
human governments. He works
them out in tenderness and mercy
for the best. He raises up men
lof purity like Cyrus, and gives
the power to defend the weak
land friendless who look to him
as their Shepherd. He made
lCyrus ruler over all the nations
of the world. He took Cyrus in.
to Babylon without lifting q
Sword by showing him how to
drain the Euphrates river into
la lake and to walk in to Babylon
land take Belshazzar and his King
dom of Chaldea by surprise. He
is the same yesterday, now and
forever.
God moves in a mysterious
! way.
His wonders to perform,
| He plants his footsteps on the
sea.
Ard rides upon the storm"
| What God demands of us is
purity, purity of appearance and
purity of purpose, he wants our

at Il regular plumber s rate of 80 cents

the surrounding towns and range from
$3.50 in some sections of Guilford and
West Brattlcboro to 81 at South Yer

of sending for the doctor every time

over their symptoms with some one

PUBLIC REQUESTS
BY DR.. H. D. H0LT0N
First Baptist Church to Have
Parsonage and Parish House
Leland and Gray Seminary Willed
,000-Annual Income for Church -
Local Institutions Remembered.

BY the will of DR.. Henry D. Holton,
president of the Vermont National
bank, president of the Brattleboro
Home for the Aged and Disabled and
president of the Austinc Institution
for the Deaf and Blind, the First Bap-
fist church of Brattleboro will come
into possession of Dr. Holton S valuable
residence property at the corner Of
Main and Walnut streets, the residence
to be used as a parsonage and the
large carriage house TO the east of the
residence, facing on Walnut street, to
be converted into n parish house. IN
order that the carriage house may bo
built over for the purposes specified a
special bequest of $4,000 is made.
The church has a special need for
just the provision that is made by the
will, and DR.. Holton was in a position
to fully realize it. The present parson-
age is not used as such, not being in q
desirable location for parsonage use,
and the church has abundant need for q
parish house.
DR.. Holton S will was filed i'll the
probate court yesterday afternoon by
Henry Bond of Tyler street and Robert
G. Clark, who are named in the will as
executors 1t was executed March l,
1916.
A variety of stocks aggregating from
100000 to $4,000 at par value, but
which are worth considerably more
than par. are bequeathed to relatives,
including his adopted daughter, Mrs.
Edith TTolton Sherman, and her two
daughters.
Leland and Gray seminary, in Town
shend, of which Dr. Holton was pres
ident, is given $4,000, to be invested
and the income used for the general
purposes of the seminary.
/ Further provision is made whereby
the Baptist church will receive annual
ly an income from the estate to help
carry on its work. The will directs
that the income of 100 shares of the
Vermont National bank stock shall be
divided as follows every year: To
the First Baptist church for running
expenses, 800; to the family fund of
the church, 800; to the Bible school
for the purchase Of books and helps
! $10O; to the Vermont Baptist state
convention, 800; the rest of the in
! come from the 100 shares to be divided
equally between the Baptist Home mis-
, sionary society and the Baptist For
, eign Missionary society, to be applied
ON the quota of the First Baptist
church.
The College of Medicine of the Uni
vcrsity of Vermont at Burlington is
given all of the tcstator's books,
pamphlets and instruments.
The residue of the estate, including
the reversion of any of the trust funds,
is to be divided on the basis of one
third to the Home for the Aged and
disabled and two-thirds to the Austine
Institution, to be invested and the in
come to be used for the general pur-
poses of the institutions. Under this
last bequest, although no estimates of
the amount of the estate are available,
it is expected that the two institutions
named will receive substantial amounts.

Mr.. Metzger's Suffrage Bill.
(St. Adams Messenger.

The Rev. Frazer Metzger. represent.
alive of Randolph in the general assem-.
bly,, who in 1912 led the Progressive
party in this state as candidate for
governor, has introduced o bill which
would confer on Vermont women, with
some minor qualifications, the right to
vote for presidential electors. In brief
he would confer on the women of this
state the privileges that the women
have in so many Western common
wealths. There is nothing unreason.
able about the measure, as the Messen-
ger looks at it, and there is much that
can be said in its favor. The West
is outvoting the East, and the fact that
women have the presidential ballot in
that section will by its own force even
tually overcome all objections and Sc.
cure for Eastern women the privilege
of voting for candidates to the elec
toral college.
The equal suffrage question cannot
be lodged at this session. There is
considerable difference of opinion al
Montpelier as to just what the Repub
lican platform really said about this
matter, some claiming that the party is
pledged to giving the vote to women,
Others maintaining that such was not
the case. Let that dispute be put
aside, and let the legislature give this
question its full consideration regard
less of what some can read into the
platform and others can read out of it
quite as easily. The question has
passed the joke stage here in Vermont.
Neither ought it to be a football be-
tween the two houses, the one passing
it this session, confident that the other
will kill it, and so on. If the legisla-
ture does not want to make the final
decision, why not let the question 90 to
the people on a referendum?

Over 100 cases of scarlet fever have
developed in Rutland since last sat

The contagion in large part has been
traced to n "carrier' who was con-

forbidden entertainments of all kinds
which might draw people together in

ports have been seized and that no Ger

profession. In the great national medi-
cal organizations he was for years a
conspicuous figure. Perhaps the most
notable honor which came to him was
election as president of the Ameri-

as the executive officer of the Vermont

Our Militant Colleges,
(Barrc Times. }

With the formation of military com
pany among the students of Middlcbury
college, Vermont has three military col
lcges for the time-being. Norwich and
the University of Vermont have had
military departments and have followed
out a military regimen more or less
closely. If the dire need should come
the three colleges unitedly might put
out as many as half a regiment of men
fairly well trained as far as the ma
iority of them are concerned. 1t would
be possible, too, to secure complement
of officers from among them for all the
military formations that could be sent
out of Vermont, excepting, perhaps, the
commanding officers. Norwich and the
University of Vermont have been teach
ing the rudments of military training
for many years and yet have not turned
out class of men enamored of Prussiar
methods. 1t is possible to make soldiers
and still not develop the Unsuitable de
sire for war.
