Middlebury, Sept. l3.-That clergy
men as well as laymen believe in the
adage, "All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" was indicated yester-
day afternoon when the 100 and more
ministers from all parts of Vermont who
are attending convention of Congre-
gational ministers put aside work and
participated in game OF baseball on
the diamond of Middlebury college. In
seven-inning contest the team repre-
senting the ministers OF the east side
of the state defeated the west sides by
score of II to 6.
The chimes in the Mead chapel yes
terday were used in playing religious
airs in honor of the towns guests. Last
evening after supper the graduates of
the various theological schools among
the ministers gathered in groups and
gave college yels and closed with sing

The addresses that are being delivered
at the conyocation cover a wide range

the purpose of encouraging the modern
ministers to take a prominent place in
all the activities of the church and state.

one day of anywhere near rough weather.
