Yesterday was a day of much en-
cOuragement to the people Of the Pres
byterian church. A large number of
worshippers took part In the saCra-
ment and witnessed the reception Of
eight new members. The service waa
peculiarly impressive,
In the evening the pastor spoke on
What VIII 1t Mean TO You?'

"Where is the man or. woman who
docs not hope for progress along some
/ line this new year.. Is he within the
church If So bring him out and let
us see him and we will give him thu
Apostle Pauls exhortation, Examine
yourself and see whether you be il

First, let us remember that thing
do not just happen, but that they oc

with merely hoping, but let us wor

ence OF an elderly gentleman provok-

quoting her temper and she left the

mysterious visit. The city dads ex-
pressed their opinion that the woman
was mentally unbalanced.

Compliments Vermonters

In an extended write-up of Camp Bart.
lett at Westfeld, Mass, the Springfield
Union gave the following complimentary
reference to Vermont boys. "There was
much instruction today in extended order
work by Companies. Formal ceremonies
were limited to guard mount and battal-
ion parade in the 104th Infantry, and
guard mount by the First Vermont In.
fantry in the camp of the Depot Brigade.
The Vermonters went through their task
in brisk, saappy mauser, and their band
proved a revelation to those who heard
it. 1t is without doubt the best musical
organization on the field and Massachu-
setts. New Hampshire and Connecticut
oflcers who heard the musicians gave
them full praise for their efforts"
Two Mortisvile bows, Heber Best and
Raymond Ellis are members of this band,
the former as Drum Major.

$50 o'clock.
Prof. Whippen was delegated to have
charge of the Lamoille conscripts, with

BIG MASS MEETING! :!
Lamoille County Turns Out en-
mass and Gives the Army
Conscripts a Rousing Send
ff--Eyery Town in County
Represented Fine Music and
Stirring Speeches

The reception and send.off that La
noble County gave at Hyde Park last
night to the fourteen of her sons who
had been drafted to GO to the front was
splendid event. 1t was the large st
gathering of public nature ever held in
the county Except, OF course, the annual
tair.) The opera house was crowded, in
fact packed and all standing room taken,
with large crowd at the entrance and
on the outside, 1t is estimated that 500
were in the building and hundred or
more on the outside.
A large flag was suspended over the
stage and numerous plants and flowers
decorated the platform on which was
seated the speakers and other representa-
tive citizens. Patriotic music of high
order was furnished by the Morrisville
and Stowe bands jointly. which was
heartily applauded.
w. D. Strong, chairman of the County
Examining Board, presided. Prayer, and
a very patriotic one it was, was offered
by Rev. Mr.. Hamlin, and after a few ex-
acknowledgements concerning the work
of the draft board by Capt. Waite, the
following speakers were introduced:
States Atty Maurice, w. E. Tracy, Esq.
Sec'y of State Fleetwood, Lieut. Gov.
Hulburd and Judge Powers. All spoke in
a very enthusiastic and patriotic manner,
giving ADVICE and encouragement to the
boys and appealing to the people at
home to give their best assistance to the
great cause in which the nation is now
engaged Each speaker was heartily APP |
plauded and the large audience gave |
close attention to the several addresses. |
1t was certainly an inspiring event and a
glowing tribute to the boys called to SER
vice.
Prof. Whippen of Morrisville, one of
the drafted number, spoke for the boys
and himself. He was glad that he was
among the number and while thankful to
for the effort its school direc-
.ors maze 70 have him exempted he was
,lad theis Efforts had failed.
Franz Hil, the JeffersonvilIe boy, who,
although an alien, declined to take ad.
yantage of that and seek exemption. was
lsked to stand up and let the audience
ret look at him, which he did, and he
vas received with cheers.
The splendid occasion closed with the
inging OF America, every verse, which
vas heartily rendered by the big audi
nee. Then followed hand-shaking and
iod-speed to the boys and the great
vent passed into history.
