Those who know Mrs Cannon are
not other than pleasantly surprised
even though Mrs. Cannon has been
confined to her wheelchair for some
time. She is noted in the village as
an excellent housekeeper, conducting
her household duties with but little
help from Mr.. Cannon.
Confined to a wheelchair for IA
years. several times a surgical patient
and only few months since submit
ting to the amputating of a limb at
the knee, her courage is still I'M
daunted and she again takes up her
work. She is an inspiration to all
who visit her. Socially she is popu-
lar, her pleasing personality calling
about her friends who feel they are
fortunate in sharing her friendship.
She loves company, seeming to be
always ready with a we'll filled larder
of her superior cooking
Mrs. Cannon might well be called
Farmingdale's "Pollyanna" so cheer
full is she at all times. Friends and
strangers alike. who go to see Mrs.
Cannon and talk with her, catch the
spirit of cheerfulness and feel that
it's a pretty good world after all
The fact that she is taking the dis
trict schoolteacher to board is but
another example of Mrs. Cannon's de-
sire to be comfort and an asset to
her community,

CIVILIZATION is
GAINING IN GEN.
TRIAL AMERICA

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Sept. TO-
(By Mail)-Liberty of thought and
free exercise of all forms Of wor-
ship and teligion are to be recog-
nized by the Constitution of the new
Central American Federation, which
is being discussed in the Constituent
Assembly meeting here. The pro-
vision was adopted after fierce con-
tention led by the representatives of
the Catholic clergy of Guatemala,
Salvador and Honduras. (The Fed
Grafton is composed of those three
countries).
The new constitution proclaims
advanced principles. 1t declares the
inviolability of the human life. This
has been a tendency Of the Latin
American republics, death penalty
having been abolished in the laws of
Brazil, Costa Rica, Columbia. Ecua-
dor, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara-
qua, Panama, Uruguay and Vene-
zuela.
Liberty of thought and of con-
science is guaranteed. There can be
no legislation on religious matters
and all the forms of worship not op-
posed to morals, good customs and
public orders are allowed. Religious
associations which compel a person
to an unconditional obedience or es-
tablish confinement in cloister. are
prohibited.
A religious act cannot be presented
to prove the civil status of man.
This provision is meant to do away
with the ancit-.t principle of Span
ish legislation which recognized the
religious certification of birth, mar
riage, or death as valid and good as
the state certifications.

Capt. Van Zandt's
Interesting War Work

The Swans Island correspondent
of the Rockland Courier Gazette in
recording the departure of Capt. f.
7. Van Zandt to his New York home
after passing his vacation on the is
land, speaks of the local peoples ap-
probation of his activities in the en-
tertainment line and efforts to Sc
cure cable connection with the main
land and then adds bit Of personal
history that will be of interest to
many. 1t follows:
Captain Van Zandt was born in
New York, coming from old Revolu-
tionary Army stock. in fact his fore
bears were among the original pur-
chasers of the island of Manhattan
who each bought for about $24 farm
blocks. Among his relatives were
Gov. Van Zandt of Rhode Island
For 20 years before the war he was
engaged in New York in manufac-
turing and financial affairs. For sew
en- years he was in the Seventh
Regiment of New York National
Guard. At the beginning of the
World War he was commissioned as
captain Of infantry in the United
States Army and assigned to the
18th Regiment. Then he was
assigned to the LIST Provisional
Regiment. an organization whose
existence has been kept secret from
the public, and was ordered to the
environs Of New York City to guard
the long line of works protecting the
waterfront water supply system for
the port. There he had strenuous
work to perform and although it
was not known that there was any
actual warfare near the city, vet it
amounted to that, for as far back as
1910 plans were known by the United
States Government of plots arranged
by Won Tappen, German attache of
the embassy at Washington whose
headquarters were in New York. for
destroying this water-supply system.
Through this guard many plots and
many actual attacks were frustrated.
There was much actual shooting. and

Will Consider Pro-
gram ofEXpansion and
Missionary Work

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 30.-The Doth
biennial meeting of the General Con-
ference of Unitarian and other Chris
tian Churches, the first national
gathering of the denomination since
the campaign of last fall when So,
100000 was raised in the United
States and Canada, will open here
Tuesday.
The conference will devote four
days to the consideration of recon-
mendations for a program of eXpan-
sion and missionary" work as the
next logical step made possible as
the result of the financial canvass.
The ministers and lay delegates from
more than 400 parishes will consider
also, as deliberative body, the
stand of this church of no written
creed on ultra liberal tendencies on
the part of some ministers toward
"atheistic humanism." The Chris
tian Register" the official organ of
the denomination, has taken the
position cditorially that "the only
heresy is immortality"
AS president of the conference,
Chief Justice William Howard Taft
of the United States Supreme court
has issued a call to Unitarians of
North America, urging them to at
tend the sessions and support the
Unitarian program for curing that
destructive Indifference to religion
and the church which threatens the
re -,
ton" The Detroit call reads:
II think every Unitarian who real
ly believes in his Church and it's fu-
ture usefulness should make an eff
fort to go to Detroit. There is a re-
vival among Unitarians, having the
purpose to make the Church more
useful than it has been in the past,
as means of curing that destructive
Indifference to religion and the
church which threatens the moral
fiber of our present civilization and
/ urge, therefore, that every Unitar-
ian, or anyone, having an interest in
liberal religion, should support the
conference by his presence"
A prominent place on the program
has been given over to the Unitarian
Laymens League. This organiza-
ton has built up membership of
IL 400 active members within the
last three years.
The defects and remedies of con-
gregational polity, Standardization of
public worship in the Unitarian
/ Church, the obligations of 1.-THE
Church in schools and colleges, pro-
hibition and temperance and instruc-
ton of the young. are some of the
subjects which will be presented at
the sessions.

KENT'S HILL NOTES

Mrs. Fred E. Eastman of Portland.
who is a guest at the seminary, gave
a very interesting and entertaining
talk at joint meeting of the Y. NJ
and Y. w. c. A. Thursday night.
During her trip around the world
several years ago, Mrs. Eastman
made a memory chain and it was
by the aid of this chain that the
audience followed her through her
visit to foreign lands. Each country
visited was represented by a coin
along with other unique miniature
souvenirs.
The first stop was at Madeira. and
at Gibraltar the first Moors were seen
in their native costumes and pic
turesuue setting. For Madeira, the
chain held a bulock's cart and for
Gibraltar the Moorish lucky hand
The travellers then sailed to the
beautiful bay of Naples. At Naples
they visited an active volcano ana
were told that the ground upon Whlcn
they walked was but eight feet deep.
From Italy they went to the valley
of the Nile and viewed thePyra-
mids, the Sphinx, and Cleopatra's
Needle. For this particular visit the
memory chain displayed tiny bas-
ket containing Moses. whom, Mrs.
Eastman explained, the natives call
Mr.. Moses when talking with Amer1-
cans.
At Bombay the party saw the tall :
est minaret in the world and the
wonderful Taj-Mahal While in In
dia Mrs. Eastman said she had but
two drinks of water. being unwill-
ing to drink the river water. Lepers
in this country are not segregated
and roam the streets, endangerlng
the lives ofthose whom they meet.
The banyan tree which covers an
acre of land was an object of inter-
est at Calcutta. Here the tourists
had a chance to see the Black Hole
of Calcutta. where the hundred Eng
lishmen were imprisoned one night
and where most of them died from
asphyxiation.
After a visit 70 Singapore they
crossed the equator and here Mrs.
Eastman related the amusing incl
dent of the woman who was so an
xious to see the equator. The sap
tain adjusted the telescope and aft
ter telling the lady to look through
the telescope he pulled from his head
a hair which he held across the glass.
When he asked her if she saw the
equator she exclaimed. "Oh, yes, and
there is an elephant walking across
it."
In China a visit was made at Hong
Kong, which is under British rule.
Canton was visited by few of the
party in spite Of the fact that they
were warned to keep out of this city
ewing to the dislike for the Ameri-
cans Of the Chinese. Other places
