Tho prettiest play of tho 'gftmo was a

CXIO.V FAST UAYSr-HVICES.
l.'nion Fast day exercises were con
ducted iu the town hall this morning at
10 80. A good audience was present and
tho meeting opened with prayer by
Revs. L. D. Temple and Bough and were
followed hv adnresses by Kevs. C. O.
Dav, A. J. Hough and Hal 1). Maxwell.
Rev H D Maxwell had "Leader
ship" for his subject and he found
tho power of every great movement in
history centered in prominent leaders.
Tho greatest force in tho world is per
sonality. Principles or systems of
teaching sol.tom posess redemptive
power until centered or impersonated
in some individual. Men aro not at
tracted by abstract theories or prin
ciples, until some one incarnates I hem
and makes them concrete. Then when
not half a dozen would be attracted by
tho idea, multitudes will rally about tho
man enthusiastically animated by it.
Jesus was tho great example of this
fact. He taught, nothing new, brought
no fresh intellectual light to tho world.
His system of ethics was old. Ho
simply repeated what his own country
men or prophets of other religions had
taught. But Ho was original in that.
He represented them all in life. So
with every great crisis. So with the
Reformation, with Luther, Calvin.
Knox. So with our American ideals
We refer not so much to tho spirit of
freedom and equality themselves as
to their association with such names
as those of Washington and Lincoln.
Many a great movement has failed for
want of leadership, notably the French
Revolution.
Tho need to day is for men of lead
ing and commanding personality, in
local as well as national affairs of men
of independence, and self reliance in
thought -men whose thought ami life
shall be so clear that tireat streams of;
truth sliiill pass through them and I
be diffused in brightness and bene- j
ficence, men who will take the Ser
mon on the Mount fur their text book
on questions of sociology, pnlitiesnnd
moralit"
Rev C O Day spoke upon'' "Our
First Duy," which relates '',to the
moral life of this town. In tho town
is held the answers to the larger ques
tions Every leader is nurtured un
der some l.ical environn ent, and every
nation is the organized aggregate of
towns. But each town s life is deter
mined bv the character of individual
citizenship. The governor's call for
"confession of sin" points to tho pow
er and defect of personal living) under
rhe law of character. Each li fo is a
