Secretary McAdoo said tho second

America are in the war" and that the
soldiers were showing wonderful
spirit.

their lives, if need be- Mr.. McAdoo
said, but they are lending their
money to the limit Of their ability on

FOURTH OF JULY
IN MANCHESTER

The Fourth Of July exercises, las,
night, on the Village Green, Manches-
ter, were carried out before a large
gathering, and under ideal weather
conditions.
During the day the grounds had
been prepared for the occasion, and
the lighting effects in particular, were
most attractive.
Shortly after s o'clock, Mr.. George
H. Thacher, who presided, assembled
the platform with the Rev. S. X. Per-
kins, who were soon joined by the
Rev. Vincent Ravi-Booth of Cam
bridge, Mass, the speaker Of the even
ing.
The exercises opened with selections
by the Wallineford Band, assisted by
DR., j. l.. Lovejoy Mr.. Thacher brief
ly addressed the gathering, telling of
the purpose and the spirit of the exer-
cises. Then the Community Chorus,
organized by the Misses Hoyt, led in
mastery manner by Mr.. Franz Lor-
enz and accompanied by the Equinox
Orchestra, sang patriotic songs and
hymns, including Kipling's Recession
al and lie Marseillaise Prayer was
offered by Mr.. Perkins. A hymn was
sung. Then Mr.. Ravi- Booth spoke
most effectively on "The Citizens
Debt to the State" In spite of some
distracting frecrackers, the attention
of the gathering was completely held
by this splendid address. AT the close
of the address the chorus sang, most
fittingly and impressively, the Star
Spanglcd Banner. After another pat
riotic song, the main exercises of the
evening were brought to close.
Most of the gathering, however, stay
ed for the band concert, which lasted
till ten o'clock.

from Manchester, Manchester Center,
and Manchester Depot, wish to ex-
press their sincere thanks to all who

assistance in various ways, helped to
make the evening success.

KURN HATTTN HOMES REPRE-
SENTATIVE IN MANCHESTER

Miss L. +. Sessions, financial repre-
sentative of the New England Kurn
Hattin" Homes for homeless boys at
Westminster, VI, and Saxton's River
VT, is expected to arrive in Manches-
ter the 9th inst. She will spend n
few succeeding days calling upon our
towns people in the financial interests
of this practical and very much need
ed charity.
Manchester has for the last several
years had one or more boys in the
Homes. She has one at present, How
ard Elliott, who is developing in
most satisfactory way under the
splendid care and training he is re-
ceiving.
We know the demands for giving"
are legion because Of the various war,
calls but in the midst of all of our
doing, we must not forget our home
needs.
This is what many have done with
1Kurn Hattin" and as result she
has deficit in her expense budget for
the first six months of 1917 OF
$l,500.00. This is due entirely to her
regular contributors having placed
their usual gift to her with some war
relief fund.
Our boys at the front" must be
cared for, but while we are doing
this, is il right for us to neglect the
boys at home whom perhaps We may
need later 10 defend the "Stars and
Stripes"
As Miss Sessions calls upon our
people. il is hoped no one will excuse
himself from giving, but rather as far
as possible will increase his gift that
we may do our "bit" in helping to re-
ducc the deficit Of the Homes.
Miss Sessions is the guest Of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter X. Hard.

a permanent endowment fund for the
purpose Of paying annuities and graf
uities 10 the veterans Of the confer
ence who have borne the burden in the
heat Of the day. and deserve a pension
in the few years of their retirement
from active service.
This action is in line, not only with
the other conferences Of Methodism,
bat also with the other great protest
ant denominations Of the country.
Under the leadership Of one of their
bishops the Protestant Episcopalians
set out TO raise 5000, 900 for their re-
tired preachers and did not stop work
until 100000 had been paid for or
pledged. The Presbyterians are also
doing great things in this line.
The Methodists of the country num-
Der many millions, and have more
churches and preachers than any other
Protestant denomination, hence need
more money for this found Sl6,00u,-
600 is the goal now set for the country
as a whole, and s150,00o for the Yer
mont Conference. But, as the Confer
ence already has $4,000 of invested
funds, the commission now asks for
only the modest sum of $4,000 for
which tremendous drive is now be-
ing organized, and will be put into
operation in the early fall.
At that time several Bishops of the
church, and other able and experienced
clergymen and laymen will come to
the aid of Rev. Mr.. Sharp, and the en-
tire field covered by the Conference
will be thoroughly canvassed for this
great cause. 1t is expected that a
state which more than subscribed for
its allotment of Liberty Loan Bonds,
and is doing splendidly for the Red
Cross work, will not be backward in
forward to subscribe for this
great and growingly important bene-
fcience.
