TOWNSHEND.
Weather and Travelling Delay Program

Despite the unfavorable weather an
audience of over 80 was present at the
Congregational church Friday night,
when the final entertainment of the
lecture course was given by the Lib
erty Duo. To add to the handicaps of
the evening the night train, on which
the entertainers came, was an hour
late, the stage sleigh in which they
started for the village broke down and
they had to wait at the station until
another conveyance could be obtained
and lastly, on reaching the church, the
stage facilities were found inadequate
for their programs, no message as to
requirements having been sent the
committee, and more time was spent in
arranging curtains, etc, so that very
weary, though good natured audience
awaited the belated program.
The numbers given were all good
and well received. Among the best
were two original monologues by Miss
EIlouise Pomcroy, At the Drug Store
and The Ford Auto Ride, the latter
being perfect scream. Miss Donia
Case s Interpretation of The Songs Ny
Mother Sang, with songs and piano
accompaniment by Miss Pomerov, was
exceptionally pleasing. The program
also included vocal and piano solos
several child representations by Mis-,
Case, two farces, The Clairvoyant, an(
a Fair Encounter, by both actors, anC
other numbers.

presslve and appropriate sermon for
the occasion.
The pastor had selected for a text,
aThou, therefore endure hardness as
0 rood soldier Of Jesus Christ" Il
Tim. q. He spoke briefly as fol..
ioVS: Paul, frequently made use o.
material things pertaining to q IN
eral warfare to Illustrate and enforce
splr;tdll truths, and. that the anology
between the life Of a soldier In a 1t
eral warfare and a soldier Of the
cross Is a very appropriate and in
pressfye one. First that one desir-
ing to enter q literal army must pass
q critical physical and mental exam
ination.s So In the army OF the Re.
deemed, every one is tested, moi
physically, but Q heart test.
( Second, the lie Of q literal soldiet

drew q graphic picture Of what tne
soldiers IN the union army had to en-
dure bnt 4 was analogous Of what the
