the subject will also be distributed.
This practical free dental treatment
is absolutely new in this country and
the experiment in which Vermont
leads will be watched with keen inter 1

In again coming TO Almighty Goo

scarce three centuries have passed
since our New England fathers insti-
tuted this festival, meant to gather up
in thought all the mercies of twelve
month, all the bounties of the harvest
all the many gifts of God. In this
brief period we have made our history
and this history shows us people,
blessed with great material and social
progress, devoted to industry and the
betterment of mankind, united and
with common purpose. And now has
come to us the supreme test, for in
the crucible of war we are testing the
quality of our ideals, firm in the faith
that when the metal is poured it will
be found pure.
As people let us acknowledge to
Almighty God the many and great
blessings of the past; let US implore
Him to continue those favors which He
has long vouchsafed; let us humbly
beseech Him to steady and strengthen
us through this, the greatest crisis in
the worlds history; let us implore
Him to watch over those who have
gone beyond the seas to fight our
battles; let us commit to His care
those who may become widows and
orphans and mothers who may be
called upon TO give their sons to their,
May He soon heal the |
wounds of all the world and guide us
from the paths Of war and desolation
again to those Of peace and industry.
Let us remember that
