Sermon-Rev. w. C. Bernard of Brat

character and which kindled hallowed
memories on the part of many in the
congregation were held in Christ church,
Episcopal, in Guilford yesterday after
noon. when more than 200 persons as
sembled to participate in an observance
of the centennial of the conservation of
the old building. The occasion was in
spring beyond anticipation and added
another chapter to the annals of one of
the most historic towns in Vermont
There is no available data to show
what may have been the attendance
on former occasions in the old church,
except the 18th anniversary observance
when 80 attended the morning session
and 100 that of the afternoon, but very
likely that of yesterday may have been
the largest in the history of Christ
church. Every pew was occupied and
most of them well filed. Many of the
congregation went from Brattleboro,
both from St. Michael s Episcopal par
ish and from other parishes, and good
number of former residents of Guilford
made this a day of home coming

Michael 5, of which the Guilford church
is a mission. officiated and Rt Rev. Ar
thur G. A. Hall, d. D.. Of Burlington,

the sermon in the virile and incisive
way that is characteristic of him. In
addition there was the unexpected

returned from service overseas.
| At 3 clock the bell in the tower
called the worshippers together, and at
that time the grounds on the north.
east and west were well dotted with

ORGAN RECITAL TONIGHT.
Frank M Cram to Give Program in
Baptist Church-Miss Denning to Assist

Frank NJ. Cram, whose record as mu-
sician, organist and director of music
in the public schools is so firmly estab-
lished in Brattleboro, will give a re-
cital on the Baptist church organ this

an organist of surprising ability when
here, and during the past year at Law
renceville, n. J., has had unusual OPP
portunity for organ playing and prac-
tice on a new three-manual instrument.
The recital this evening may be expect
ed to excl all prvious accomplishments
in that direction. The public will be
welcome and in all probability the at
tendance will be large. Miss Katherine
Denning will assist. A silver offering
/ win be received.

The Weimar despatch carrying the of
fetal announcement that Germany would
sign the peace treaty was filed at Wei
mar at 408 clock Sunday afternoon.
Apparently it referred to the decision
of the German government to sign the
treaty with the reservations of which it
gave notice to the allied powers and
which the latter rejected
Paris advices this morning show that
the Germans made an appeal for an ad-
dltional As hours to make known theil
decisions regarding the signing of the
treaty without any reservations. 1t
would thus appear that Germany has
not yet officially notified the peace con
! ference that she would sign the treaty
and accept all of its terms.

PARIS, June 23.-The German government at
Weimar has formally communicated its willing
ness to sign the peace terms unconditionaly, it
was announced by the French foreign office this
afternoon.
The day and hour for the formal signing of the
treaty is uncertain The signing may take place
Tuesday but more likely Wednesday.
The Italian delegates at present in Paris have
been authorized to sign the treaty on behalf of
Italy.
This announcement removed one question which
it was feared might delay the signing. The Ger
man note of acceptance, it is said, is couched in
such language that it maintains the German posi-
tion that the conditions are "peace of violence"
