determined to devote unremitting
energy to that purpose up to the last
minute.

Orchid Photos at Athenacrlm.

A matchless collection of photo
graphs of the orchids of Vermont viii
be- placed on exhibition at the Ath-
enaeum Monday. Dec. II, to remain
through the holidays.
These photographs were made by
William Everard Balch Of Lunenburg
the well-knoWn naturalist, taxldcr-
mist and artist. Besides being uneA-
ccfled from an artistic standpoint
they are scientifically correct, each
species being shown in it's natural
habitat. Prof. Cakes Ames OF the
Arnes. Botanical Laboratory, the nc-
ccpted authority on orchids in east
ern North America, pronounces this
the finest collection of orchid photo
graphs in existence.
II is hoped that everyone will avail
themselves of this unusual oppor-
tunity to see life-sized pictures OF
flowers so rare that only months of
patient searching might reveal the
hiding place of a single species.

THE GIFT

America, my country,
| give my life to thee.
My gift is as nothing =.
To thy gift to me.
To all the world thou called
Not to me alone,
To come and live and love,
To make thy fair land home.
For centuries, Emperors, Kings and
Cars,
With unholy power.
Crushed human kind:
Then God struck the hour.
Revealed to egar tear-stained eyes
Thy land across the sea,
That welcomed all and gave to all
The gift of Liberty.
No heart that beat in slavery
And in thy land set free,
Can love enough and give enough
OF sacrifice to thee.
Long centuries of sorrow
In thy land were wiped away.
America, tbs only by my blood
Thy gift. can l repay.

Churches Can Aid Greatly.

To assist in the accomplishment of
the purposes of the country and to
realize the ideals for which we are
striving. / feel that the churches can
play prominent part, and that, in
these times, the unessential clements
which previously nave produced
sects and keep bodies of worshfppers
apart should now be ignored and
that the spirit of true Christianity as
well as of true Americanism should
now be manifested on the part of all
church people. Consequently, | hope
that all church going people will
fully recognize their opportunity to
render a patriotic and christian SER
vice and will devise means by which
they can economize OF coal and thus
assist the Government in it's present
crisis. sS
