The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-03-04
CITY OF NEWPORT

A specially interested service was
held at the Baptist church Sunday
night when railroad men accepted
| the invitation of DR.. Frank o. Cum
ningham to listen to sermon on
the Railroad of life" A large del
egation of railroad men turned out
with their friends and the regular at
PENDANTS of the church completely
filled the edifce. The musical pro-
gram was varied and pleasing, the
singing by the chorus choir, under the
leadership of the pastor showing the
result of the training already received,
and giving promise of better things
in the future. Mrs. G.. A. Brown rem
dered a pleasing solo, and there was
duet, at the close of the sermon by
Mrs Brown and Mrs. Harold French.
The sermon held the closest attention
of the entire audience, and was a kind
of running parable of the railroad as
applied to the problems of human
life, from the cradle to the grave. Dr.
Cunningham was employed on loco
motive for a time, many years ago,
and had the background of personal
experience on which to draw.
DR.. George Venn Daniels, who has
been in Government service for over
year, first in the environments, and
later in the efficiency department of
the shipbuilding service, talking to
thousands of men daily, is to speak in
the Baptist church, Thursday even
ing, March at half past seven. His
subject will be "The War and Recon-
struction." He is an eloquent speak
er and should be heard by all who
can be Accommodated in the auditori-
UNI. Admission is free and all are
welcome.

received by Rev. L. A. Edwards last

President in Boston.
Editor w. D. Policy of the Evening
Caledonian of st. Johnsbury was IN
Newport Friday evening and spoke
before the Y. M. /. C. members at
the club rooms. A large audience
greeted Mr. Policy and thoroughly en-
loved hearing him relate some OF the
experiences he passd through, and
sights he saw on his trip into Russia
and Siberia during the war. HIS
talk brought home the horrors OF
war which we can not comprehend
only when we listen to those who
have been at the front and seen with
their own eyes. Mr.. Pelley's trip
took him into places which were not
very pleasant and which most of US
would shrink from going. The mem
bers of the club appreciate the kind
ness that Mr.. Pelley bestowed to
them in giving this talk, and they
hope to be able to listen to him again
in the near future. i
Editor Policy paid the Newport
CITY Office a short visit Friday night
and talked over plans with the local
correspondent how to build up the

very anxious to have a large circula-
ton of the paper in this city and
stands ready to give Newport live
daily paper, and says he will print
an eight page paper daily if New
