Vermont Editors Coming to Barton.
Editor Gilpin of this paper has in
vited the Vermont Press association to
meet at Barton for its annual summer
meeting and outing, August 5 and 6
and it is expected a large representa
tion of Vermont editors and their
ladies will be present. The outing
opens on the evening of Thursday,
August 5 with a banquet at Hotel
Barton at which Ex-Lieutenant Govern
or Howe, editor of the Bennington
Banner will preside. Among the
speakers will be Congressman Frank
Lr Greene, formerly editor of the St.
Albans Messenger and an honorary
member of the association; Arthur
Pratt Howard, the new editor of the
Advance and others. Frank O. French
of St. Johnsbury will entertain. On
Friday morning the delegation will go
to Willoughby lake by automobile and
spend the day there. They will dine
at Pisgah lodge and spend the day in
sports, and a trip on the lake and other
recreation. On Friday evening the
association members will assemble at
the house of Le Beau Lac Boat club
where a business meeting and social
dance will be enjoyed,. This is an
opportunity for Barton to place itself
upon the map by showing the Vermont
quill pushers that we have a live mod
am town and that our people are
anxious to make strangers feel com
fortable and at home. The impression
of a town left upon the minds of all
these newspaper men is really of some
importance. State conventions seldom
meet here and now is a good time to
show the newspaper men what we are
made of up here. Mr. Gilpin is serv
ing his second year as president of the
association.

The subject of the pastor's sernaon
Suriday morning was "Appreciation"
taken from the s:ory of the prodigal
son, making t-pecial mention of th
elder brother. To do your best you
must put your mind on your worfcand
alao love it. Duty has nver turneo
out a master workman. The mai;
who biings things to pass is tne one
vc bo puts hia heart ir to it. Thy pr -igal
ton is a splendid picture of G jd'e
love, but one virtuous man is bettt j
than all the prodigals It is when i
man is struggling that he needs iu
helpful word, not after be is leac:.
Do not criticize President Wiieon
these are trying times tor him and n
nteda your prayers. Tne sharped
critic a singer meets i3 one wh coui
not carry a tune iiitnself. Notbiug
spurs a man to work like good whole
some praise. No one has ever been
spoiled by praise but many Jike the
e der brother have been emoittereJ
by lack of it. Jesus showed hia ap
preciation of everyone. Appreciation
is a Christian grace to be cuitivateo,
lifting up of Jesus Christ and appre
ciation of our fellowmen.
