Pres. Thomas Delivers
Baccalaurate Sermon

| In spite of very unfavorable wealth.
er the seating capacity of Grace
Methodist church was severely taxed
| last evening at the Baccalaureate SER
| mon by President Thomas of Middle
bury College for the graduating class
of, ST. Johnsbury Academy. President
Thomas in his sermon emphasized
forcibly that despite temporary ap-
pearances to the contrary, religion is
the predominant force of the present
age.
Following the opening hymn by the
Congregation, DR.. Bendict, principal
of the Academy, led in responsive
reading. The Academy -Glee Clubs
rendered the anthem, 1.-THE Vast Uni
verse;" in excellent manner. DR..
Benedict read the fourteenth chap
ter of Exodus, and Rev. c. G. Mer-
rill offered prayer. President Thomas
was then introduced by DR.. Benedict.
In opening DR.. Thomas quoted from
the thirteenth chapter of Exodus and
said that the journey of the Hebrews
into the wilderness was doubtless to
be compared with any vast pilgrimage
of later days, accompanied with the
same sufferngs and the same pur-
poses. President Thomas said that
the reason for this exodus of the Heb
rews into the unknown land was their
desire to keep their religion. From
these great migrations new countries
have sprung up, and civilization has
been brought to unknown places
President Thomas brought out in
his sermon that religion has done
more for the world than any other
"a
great things for the physical COM
fort of man; that science had improv-
ed man externally. But that the soul
and high ideals of all peoples are
formed by religion.
The speaker claimed that the slim
illus and competition of business had
also fallen short of mans estimates,
and many evils which man had roped
to overcome; through this medium,
still existed. DIR. Thomas said in ref
erence to the present war, that at the
best. Man has made a mess of things
for humanity.''
President Thomas added that there
was one power alone which is and mas
been propelling man along the path
of progress, and that sooner or later
religion would make itself known as
that power, Notwithstanding mans
theories to the contrary. Speaking
directly to the graduating class Presi-
dent Thomas clearly emphasized the
fact that every member of it must be
prepared to fight back at the world.
He expressed the wish that all would
enter earnestly into the great tight
for progress, that when religion
should be recognized as the propelllng
force in the great struggle for the re-
demption of the world, each might be
present to look into the face OF Cod
Rev. Clarence L Eaton pronounced
benediction after the closing hymn.

JURY FINDS
PILVER GUILTY
State Wins Conviction;
Fined 5000, Sentenced To
House of Correction

Joseph Pilver, of st. Johnshurv
was found guilty, by Jury FRIDAY
In the Municipal Court, under Judge
RYE, on the charges of selling intox-
lcatlng liquor, and of keeping intoxi-
eating liquor with intent to sell. He
was sentenced to pay a fine of $500
and costs, and to serve a term of not
more than ten months and not less
than eight months in the House of
Correction. The House Of Correction
sentence was suspended.
States Attorney James B. Campbell
fought the case for the state, while
ID. r. Porter, of the firm of Porter,
writer's, and Harvey, pleaded for the
defendant. The States case was one
iof great difficulty to prove, because
OF the fact that the witnesses pre-
scented gave, in several cases, contra
.dictory evidence. 1t was necessary
at one point to call the court stenog-
'rapher, Miss Mabel L. Spencer, to the
stand to read previous testimony.
The trial began at nine O'Clock in
the forenoon and the verdict was not
returned until 1870 o'clock in the
evening, after the jury had been out
two hours and half.
In Their testimony Mr.. and Mrs.
lPilver claimed that the whiskey,
creme de menthe, and other alcoholic
beverages, which were on exhibition,
was used, by Mrs. Pilver for bathing
purposes.
/ The State presented the following
witnesses: Napoleon Reno, Bert Mar
tell. Ernest Beck, John Liberty, and
Chief of Police John Finley, while
witnesses for the defense were: Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Pilver, Harry Bel
vile, Fred Mclaughlin, Carl Murphy,
and Annie Gold.
The States witnesses, excepting
Reno, who claimed he bought ia
maica ginger of Pilver, would give no
discriminating evidence, repeating time
after time, Il don't remember Chief
Finley told of the manner in which
the search of the house was made at
the time of tho raid, and in what
rooms he found the liquors. The
court adjourned after Finley's testi-
money, until o'clock.
At this time Martell, who had pre-
viously testified, was brought back to
the stand. After some fruitless en-
beavers to obtain information, the
State rested it's case.
Mrs. Pilver was then called to the
stand, ana emphatically denied that
any of the liquor in the house had
ever been sold. She claimed that she
used it sometimes to drink, and some
times to battle with. She also testi-
fed that Jewish people were brought
up from childhood in the use of liqu-
or, and that she drank mostly creme
de menthe. Mr.. Pilver on the stand
also denied that the liquor was sold
or kept with intent to be sold. He
claimed that there was no Jamaica
ginger on the premises and that none
had been sold to Reno. Annie Gold,
Mrs. PilVer's sister, caretaker of the
store owned by Pilver, corroborated
the testimony Of Pilver and his wife.
She claimed that she had repeated
ly refused to sell Jamaica ginger to
Reno, though he had been in the store
many time in quest of the liquor.
1t was claimed by the State that
Reno, who short time ago, was

|SMILEFOR Health
| SAYS BEN Bruins

"Cheerfulness is the first station on
the royal roal to success In business
life or social affairs" said Ben Bruins
the B. B. C. Man, at his headquarters
Kekaulike and King streets, opp. the
fishmarket. He has stirred storm OF
comment by his unusual theories In
health matters. He believes most
chronic ill-health is caused by nothing
but stomach trouble. He crfsply ex
pounded his opinion as follows: ."
Happiness il the birthright and
duty Of every man and woman. Not
only does IL pay greater dividends than
any other investment, but it is abso.
iuteIy necessary In our dealings with
other people. We must smile to re
tain the respect of the world and to
win new friends. We must take hard
knocks with o laugh In order to con
quer them. We must meet the pretty
vexations OF social affairs and domes'
tic life with good humor, or we are
defaulting In the debt we owe our
Creator.
Health hinges directly on our men
tai attitude. Bad terper, wrong
thoughts, jealousy, envy or too much
seif.pity result IN disordered liver, bad
blood. headaches and nervous irrita'
biiity. We become soured toward the
world, face It with q GUM gaze--and
the world, in the persons of our friends
and associates, is sure to return the
sour looks, ugly glare for ugly glare
with q little added venom.
"In just the same degree this rule
works both ways, II our physical bod
les get out Of order, q mental reaction
is sure to follow. Overeating and toe
little outdoor exercise is the curse OF
our modern Civilizations. We stuff our
bodies with all the food We can eat
with no regard to the demands to be
met in the physical system. The man
who works indoors all day, and the
tight-corseted woman whose principal
task is household or social affairs
think they must eat as much as the
day laborer. -.
when the stomach Is overloaded
the digestive machinery gets clogged
and won't work, and all kinds Of dis
eases follow. A bad liver means a bad
temper. A brace of balky kidneys
means gloomy outlook on everything.
Impure blood causes Is headaches,
wrecks our mental poise and peace OF

Chronic constipation often causes
