Lindsey, First Reader.

Christian Science: Its Practical Elk
cellence, was the subject of the annual
lecture given in the Auditorium last eve
ming before n good-sized audience by
John c. Lathrop, c. S. r.. member of
the board of lectureship of the Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist. of Boston.
The lecturer was introduced by Mrs
r. +. Lindsey. first reader of the local
Christian Science church, who quoted
sections of the last chapter of the gospel
of Mark, words spoken by Jesus Christ
10 his disciples, adding that as followers
of Him the carrying out of his command
is what Christian Scientists are trying 10
do and to that end the leader, Mary
Baker Eddy, wisely provided for a board
of lectureship, the members of which de-
vote all their time to explaining the
Truth Jesus taught. She then presented
Mr. Lathrop TO the audience. The
speaker said. in part:
Thomas \. Edison says: ITO start
thought going is the highest mission of
mankind" Start thought going. liberate
mans true individuality, andNthe rules of
right thinking will soon be revealed to

pie of these rules have been discovered
in Christian Science, and are advisable
for all mankind to understand and TO
utilize.
The act of using this divine Principle
and these rules discloses the true mean
ing of prayer. In fact. thinking by divine
Principle and rule, and thinking blindIy
according TO material belief. constitute
the exact difference between right prayer
and wrong prayer. the difference between
the prayer that avails and the prayer
that gropes in the dark and fails. between
the prayer that heals the sick as we'll as
the sinner, and the prayer that limits
Gods power. and doubts His willingness
to destroy all kinds of error Most peo-
pie believe that prayer TO God is good
thinking Why not extend the good
thinking. instead of limiting il or stop

actly what Christian Science does Ex-
tend it to the point Of deciding that your.
thoughts shall no longer be governed by
the false belief that life, substance and
Intelligence are in matter, with its sick
ness, sin and death. Extend it to decide
that your Thoughts shall be governed by
the one Mind that was in Christ Jesus. by

Y. w. G.. A. Drive

A benefit was given at the Biiou last
night for the Y, W. c. A. campaign { m
which about twenty-five dollars was net
ted. Specialties constituted an added at
traction. A dance was given by the
Misses Charlotte Slayton and Alma Bat
ten IN costume and was very charming.
A great deal Of credit for this number is
due Miss Thelma Edmunds who drilled
the girls and Porter Greene who made the
very artistic background. Miss Gladys
Dick rendered a vocal solo and quite won
her audience with her sweet voice and
pleasing manner.
A food sale was given last Saturday at
the Methodist Church in connection with
the drive and from this about forty dol
lars was realized. The drive is now at all
end and the girls are only about ten dol
lars short of their quota. 1t is hoped
that some worthy citizens will feel in
spired to donate a bit of silver to help
make up this deficit. Anyone being so
moved, may give their contribution to
Miss Merle Smalley.

Another Booze Seizure

Sheriff Stevens was walking along the
village streets Tuesday afternoon and all
was serene. A car, c Buick, drew up be-
side the curb. Two men asked him the
way to Mansonville. "You mean Morris
ville?" replied the sheriff.
The men appeared confused. And the
sheriff sensing something was wrong, step
ped upon the running board of the iut !,
lifted a blanket, and found booze. He
took hold OF a bottle and stated he was
sheriff.
The men thereupon pushed him from
the running board and darted off.
The sheriff got in communication with
Deputy Sheriff Kelly of Morrisville. But
the men got through Morrisville and sped
on toward Stowe. A phone to Stowe got
out Deputy Sheriff Buzzell. who, with an
other, were ready to pounce on the car
when it appeared.
The motorists, however, swerved into
yard and whirled around and sped up
what is known as West Hill. Finally in
front of Mrs. Julia Jones house they were
caught and readily surrendered.
They gave the names of Edmund Proalf
of Norwich, Conn, and Adelard Couture
Of Artic, R l. They we're brought to the
county Jail here and given hearing this
morning.
They had about 80 quarts of liquor in
the car and were willing o give UP BOOZE
car and everything, in fact, in order to
get out of town. The machine bore a
Connecticut license and the men also had
a Massachusetts license on them.
On them, also, was found carefully
mapped out troute for them to follow from
Connecticut to Montreal and back down.
The directions were carefully typewriter.
At the hearing before Judge Collins
they were fined $500 each, and costs,
which they readily paid and went on
their way sorrowful-minus the above
sum, their car and the liquor. The car ,
and the liquor will be sold according to
law. States Atty Tracy appeared for
the commonwealth.
The credit for this arrest and conEsca-
ton is due Sheriff Stevens, for by his
strategical movement the culpirts were
cor1ered and brought into the
soils of the law.

La Asamblea del Desarme y la

Ell lector quiZas no Sc acuerde de
la segunda Asamblea general de la
Sociedad de las Naciones reunida en-
Ginebra ell primer lunes de septiem-
bre. Y 81 el lector no Sc acuerda,
tampoco hay nadie que Sc 10 recuer-
de. Ese olvido denota la desestima
en- que Sc tiene la Sociedad concebida
por Wilson y que tantos entusiasmos
e ilusiones inspire en- sus origenes.
La Sociedad, copvertida en- verdadera
Liga, no ha sabido salvarse. Los pal
ses a quienes Sc nego su ingreso en-
ella solo lie profesan hoy Indifferent
ca. La intervention del Consejo. en-
las cuestiones internacionales no ha
satisfecho a ninguna parte litigante,
y las difcultades con que lucha para

tampoco aumentaran su prestigio. Las
proXimas deliberaciones de la Asam-
blea revestiran caracter puramente
academico. Es todo 10 que puede ase-
gurarse de ella es 10 menos one pu-
diera decirse.
Mas remota esta la Conferencia de
Washington, que no ha de celebrarse
hasta noviembre, Y assume el interes
que falta la ginebrina. La Prensa
del mundo entero comenta aquel fu
turo ssuceso, porque de el dependera
verdaderamente el porvenir de los
pueblos. BRAND, Lloyd George y Ha-
ra han anunciado su viaje la capi
tai de la America sajona, ese largo
ldesplazamiento advierte la importan-
cia que revestira la reunion.
Como en- Ginebra, Sc discutira en-
Washington ell desarme; pero este
problema Sc 'subordinara a otro no
menos fundamental: el del Pacifico,
que, en- sentir del presidente Smuts,
ha de preocupar a la Humanidad du-
rante un cuarto de siglo, porque con
el esta relacionada la paz del orbe.
Y 81 tanto tempo ha de preocupar,
sin duda es porque no Sc presiente

En- efecto, la Conferencia de Anne
