tage. He spoke of the splendid
gifts of the people to benevolencea
in the past and explained how the
budgets of the various benevo-
lences of the seven societies were
made up. He gave many striking
illustrations during his address Of
the splendid work that is being
| done by the various societies
among the American Indians, the
Cubans on Tampa bay and the
mountain whites in North Carolina.
The methods to be adopted in
raising the apportionment were
presented by Rev. C. C. Merrill and
informally discussed by those pres
ent. The goal set for the churches
in Caledonia and Essex counties
was $4,000 and the quota last
year was $12,725. This amount was
practically subscribed and it was
decided to haze practically the
same amount as last year as the
quota. This was distributed around
the churches As follows:
McIndoes $400, Barnet $500,
East Burke $500, Danville $1,000,
Greensboro $3.50, East Harwick
5000, Hardwick $3.50, Kirby $50,
Lyndon 500, Lyndonville $1,000,
Pcacham $1,000, St. Johnsbury
Center 500, st. Johnsbury North
$4,000, st. Johnsbury South $1,000,
st. Johnsbury East $3.50, Lower
Waterford $50, Waterford S160
CRANKY and Victory $50, Guildhall
$3.50, Luncnburg 500.
The canvass for this appoltion-
ment will start on Monday, April
30, and continue through the first
week of May.
The closing address of the con-
ference was given by Secretary
Merrill upon some disqualifications
of ministers. While this was full
of friendly criticism it was also
made a splendid tribute to his as
sociates in the ministry from the
speaker who is leaving the work
as the executive head Of the Con-
gregational conference for Il broad
er field in the great state of Hi
nois.
At the close of his address all
came forward and wished him
much success in his new work and
expressed their personal apprecia-
ton of what he had accomplished
in Vermont in the past three years.
