The Annual Parish Meeting was
held in accordance with the new Di-
ocesan Canons on Monday, January
18th, at 1880 p. M, in the church
basement. There was quite a good
attendance, and the women of the
parish took full advantage of their
privilege to vote in the elections.
This being the Rector's first Par
ish meeting in Island Pond, he took
opportunity to state that clergy
mans first aim and object apart
from the strictly spiritual side of
the work, was to clear off, or re-
duce, any debt that might be at
tached to the parish. He therefore
gave out as the motto for the year
"TheDebt," and urged every society,
and every individual, of the church.
to exert all their efforts to substan.
TALLY reduce the rectory debt. To
this end a very good start has al
ready been made, which, the Rector
said was most encouraging.
ALI reports showed the church to
be in excellent condition, each soci-
ETY. reporting a fair balance in hand.
Appointments and assessments are
all paid up to date, and the parish
toner's of Christ church, Island Pond,
can feel that they are starting the
new year with very bright outlook.
The annual convention of the Do
cese meets at Rutland on February

May Almighty God bless both
priest and people in their endeavor
to advance His Kingdom here on
earth, and may priest and people do
all to the greater glory of God.
Rev. H. M. Simpson, Rector.

Come to Groveton, N. H.

A great many men from various
parts of the Green Mountain State
have already come here to work, in
the pulp and paper plant of the Odell
Manufacturing Company, but there
is room for more,
More than twenty Vermont famil-
les have moved to Groveton within
the last month. Although the mill
employees went out on strike last
May, and the strike has never been
declared off yet the mill is runn-
ing as usual many of the former
employees have resumed work, and
enough new ones secured so that
about the same number are employed
as before the strike. But, owing to
the change in hours, the three eight
hour shift system having been in
augurated, more men are needed.
Those who have come here have
found conditions better than repre-
sented; and are contented to stay.
Good positions, at good pay, await
the right men. There are also
chances for several intelligent girls.
On request we will give you the
names of some of the Vermont people
who have come here, and are now
working in the mill, perhaps some of
them from your own town, and you
can write direct to them and see
what they have to say about the
situation.
Write me or come and see me, and
| will secure you a position, and also
rent if you want one.

Thousands Spent In Securing
Battle Scenes

Perhaps the most realistic, vivid
battle scenes ever filmed are offered to
the audience at the opera, house, when
Vitagraph presents 'Womanhood,
The Glory Of the Nation, the soul-strring
patriotic spectacle by ]. Stuart Backton,
starring Alice Joyce and Harry Morey.
As far as the human eye can reach
is the battlefield strewn here and there
with the heroes who have fallen in honor
that their country might live The air
is dusky with the smoke OF conflict and
bombs burst, continually rising clouds Of
dirt as they tear up goodly portion Of
the ground.
Then the trenches with their men
leaning upwards rifles at the approach
ing foe are seen-airships encircle the
field, dropping poisonous gas bombs and
other deadly missiles on the men fighting
beneath.
Then come the decisive naval battles
after America has concentrated every
energy and prepared herself for the
terrific onslaught of the foe. The fleets
move seward in majestic line, every
gun manned by an expert marksman
and every boiler attended by devoted
men. Now shell sent from the enemy's
ships finds its mark and shoots through
the water, leaving behind it the dead
white trail of foam. Finally it comes
into contact with the ship and in few
moments hundreds have been claimed by
watery grave. The men in the boiler
room fight one another like rats in hole
as they feel their vessel give a lurch side
ways and realize their means of escape is
cut off.
When war visit its horrors upon any
land its inhabitants become crazed and
sacrifices untold are suffered by the peo-
pie. THERE'S no limit-in this murderous
slughter and the side conceiving the
most effective instruments of destruction
is naturally victorious.
Then Uncle Sam plays his trump
card-he sets his 'frebugs" loose amid
the enemy's ships and in another few
minutes victory is recognized. These
"frerbugs" are small boats steered by
wireless so that no men are necessary and
filed with gasoline which is set afre
when they reach the fleet of the enemy
and turn the waters into curtain of fire.
Mr.. Blackton spared no effort or ex-
pense that these scenes might be anthem
tic to the minutest detail in order that
the proper atmosphere be secured and
he was generously given the cooperation
of the U. s. Army and Navy as far as
practicable.
Therefore, all the battle scenes
graphically portray just the conditions
were invaded by powerful enemy.
Special music score. Dance After, the
show, music piano drums and bells. Best
