tional church read the scripture lesson
from Matthew >, Rev, Robert A. Num-
of the Methodist church offered prayer
and Rev. Dclmar +. Trout of the Uni
vcrsalist church offered the closing
PRAYER and pronounced the benediction.
Rev. Mr.. Brownell took for his text
Matthew 5:47: "What do We more than
others!" He spoke of the superior adj
vantages which young people have by
reason of their educational privileges,
especially here in Brattlcboro, and on
that account they should be superior
people. In time when large portion
Of society seeks by every means to do
less than Others it is of great Importance
that we give consideration to this high
er ideal of service. The measure of
ones service should be to do more than
Others not to be content to be as good
as the average. This is the ideal by
which all progress is made and is the
secret of winning success in any under
taking.
Custom is the enemy of progress. 1t
