OPEN DOOR TO OPPORTUNITY.
Is the Christian Life, Said Evangelist
Smith Last Evening.

That the Christian life is an open door
to opportunity was the contention of
Evangelist Smith at the service in the
Congregational church last evening. 1t
is a sad fact that many refuse the OPP
portunity in home training of their chill
dren. Many more refuse to enter the
door of opportunity by refusing to train
the Young in church and Sunday school.
The door through personal evangelism
is neglected by many The door opens
rs refuge from sin. God changes the
heart desire and re-enforces the will.
He opens the door of hope to the i'm
mortal life. Jesus is the great doer to
opportunity, to life and to salvation.
The congregation that listened to the
words of the evangelist and the solo of
Mr.. Hatch was very attentive and re-
sponsive. More decisions to lead the
Christian life were made at this serv-
ice. The boy scouts viii attend the
meeting tonight in a body, special seats
being reserved.

WROTE 1000 POEMS.
Mrs. Nelly Hart Woodworth of ST. AL
bans Died in Florida.

St. Albans, March l5-News has been
received here of the death in Sarasota,
Fla, March IL of Mrs. Nelly Hart Wood
worth, for twenty two years a resident
of st. Adams For several years Mrs.
Woodworth had passed the winters in
Florida. The remains have been sent
north, and it is expected that the funeral
will be held Sunday afternoon at the
home of her nephew, Ernest II. Lewis,
of Bank street. The burial will take
place Monday afternoon in the family lot
in the East Berkshire cemetery beside
the bodies of her husband, DIR. Carlos c.
Woodworth and her son, Carlos Wood
worth, who died many years ago.
Mrs. Woodwork was talented wom-
an. especially as writer She was
deeply interested in birds and had con
tributed many articles on the subject, in
which she was an authority, to maya
zines and newspapers. She was an inti-
mate friend of John Burroughs, the nat
uralist, and as a writer of poems had
verse to many periodicals.
At one time she contributed chiIdren's
stories to the Youths Companion. and
also wrote prose stories for grown ups.

BELIEVE .J4P4N
WILL NOU MOVE
INTO SIBERIA
Think That japanese Could Block
Any Move By Germans To-
ward Vladivostok.

Washington, D. C., March l5.-Aside
from the press dispatches, Washington
had no information to-day on the de-
cision OF the Russian Congress ratifying
the German peace terms. The officials
had no means of knowing whether the
action was taken before or after receiv-
ing President Wilson's message to the
people OF Russia, promising American aid
in obtaining for Russia full independence
from German aggression The message
when sent was regarded by officials here
as the only move that could be made by
the United States in the interest of the
Russian pepole. ..
1t is believed that ratification of the
peace terms win bring an early move by
Japan in Siberia. Any move by the
Japanese, it is believed, will be chiefly
for the protection OF Japanese and Amer
lean supplies at Vladivostok. There is
no real danger, the officials say, of the
German armies moving that far east but
the supplies at Vladivostok may be sent
into Russia and then find their way into
German hands. The geographical loca
tion of Vladivostok makes it easy for
Japan at any time to cut off German
force if one were to move to the east.

POOR OLD BELLOWS FALLS
Saw Red and Yellow Hailstones Fall
Thursday.

Bellows Falls, March l5.--This section
was visited yesterday afternoon by a
severe thunder and hailstorm and the
hail was red in some places and yellow
in others. The atmosphere was dense, as
though filled with smoke, and dark
clouds were rent by lightning for an
hour or more. The surface of the snow
covered with the hail stones. was red or
yellow, according to the locality.
Curiosity and excitement is general.
Some remember their ancestors telling
of red snow 100 years ago but none of
this generation has ever seen the like
before. Those believing in omens think
that the red snow foretels the shedding
of much American blood in the war with
Germany.
