HORSE BROKE SHOULDER IN FALL THROUGH BRIDGE. Delayed Central Vermont Passenger Train an Hour—Animal Had to Be Shot. The Central Vermont pa: that left the Norwich s 4. m. Saturday was held up at the failroad bridge in the rear of Yantic | cemetery for about an hour because a horse obstructed the passage of the train over the bridge. The horse be- longed in Norwich Town and had been pastured. It is thought that the horse left the pa re and made its way down the railroad track, passed safely over the bridge, and went down to the end of the spur track on the opposite side. The spur track ends at the foot of the rather steep hill in the rear of | the Falls fire station, and the hors being unable to go farther, returned up the track and started to recross the bridge. When about hal? way back the horse slipped and one of its legs went down between the ties.

In honor of the guests the church | was effectively decorated with flags by the pastor, assisted by James E. C. Leach, who loaned the flags used in | the decoration.

Special music w¥8 sung by the reg- ular choir. A pretty feature of the ser- vice was a patriotic hymn sung by the junior church, Mrs, F. O. Cunningham accompanist. Fight the Good Fight. The pastor, Rév. F. O. Cunningham, spoke from the text I Timothy 6: 12, | “Fight the good fight of faith; lay hold | on the life eternal, and said, in part, as follows: We are today reminded of a strug- gle, nearly a half century in the past, whose fruits we now enjoy. Then the land was baptized in the blood of her | noblest sons, that national honor and unity might be preserved. The labors, privations and struggles of the Grand | Army of the Republic resulted in gi ing freedom to a race and peace to a continent. The questions of slavery | and the right of secession have been | ettled. Human beings are no longer | considered personal property. Rut the | oration of Memorial day will deal es- pecially with reminiscences of soldier life and a discussion of the great issues of that stryggle. We are here today more especially to engage in Divine worship, to render homage to that Om nipotent Ruler through whose prov dence the war of 1861-1865 has accom- plished these beneficial results. All war is the result of sin, for sin| is In its essential nature divisive. It| separates man from God, and intro- duces the elements of discord into the | relationship of men. World a Battlefield. So long as human hearts are enmity agalnst God, so long will discord and | strife hold sway in the world. The business world of the day is one vast | battlefield. Men meet defeat and dis- aster, while others are victorious at| their expense. The moral world is also | convulsed with conflict. The eternal battle between right and wrong tween truth and error is on. This is real, not imaginary. It does | not exist merely in the mind of the theologian, or the realm of rhetoric. | | Oil and water de not mix. Light and darkness have no fellowship. Christ| and Belia]l have not patched up a truce. It is still true that one cannot serve two flage, not be loyal to two com- manders. Religion is more than a suit of clothing—it is a life. A popular suit | with many is reversible, On the side that is outward on Sunday appears the emblem of Christianity—a cross; on the other side is the dollar mark, which | is in evidence for six days in the week. | The slogan of this kind of a man is | “business is business.” When I hear that said, I vwsually take a rapid inven- tory of my personal possessions, but- ton my coat and move along. . We need men who will take their religion into all their business transactions and per- sonal relations with men and women of { this community.

The leaders are Christ and Satan. Hach is at th head of a well organized army. One of the most dangerous delusions of our mod- ' ern days is that there is no devil. Any arm {8 in peril when it relaxes vigi- lance under the mistaken impression that there iz no enemy near. It is still important that we “stand against the wiles of the devil.” 1n this fight we| are of ultimate triumph for the army of Christ. We also need faith and loyalty and courage. Those who faced the storm of shot and shell’in the war of the re- bellion know one meaning of this word. The men who willingly went where it| was almost certain death to go, the| scouts of the army, those who went to positions of greatest peril to draw the fire of masked batttries all exempli- fied one kind of courage. We need the kind that has the manliness to stand and face danger and criticism and e erything else when there are no hur- rahs, no rattle of musketry nor waving | of flags, and perhaps no one looking on to give assistance or cheer. Physi courage is a quality men share with lions and bears. Moral courage men share with the angels. It is nearest| to the courage of Christ, who stead-; fastly went toward Jerusalem, know- ing that the agony and ignominy of the cross awaited him there.

We are too apt to lim- | it the exercies of this grace to a few | officials of the church, when it is a cardinal Christian virtue, and must be practiced by all who would be true dis- ciples of the Master, Singleness of purpose is needed. Perhaps we need faith in our com- | mander most of all. The dynamic tffect of the famous ride of Sheridan is an illustration in point. When he | arrived the tide of defeat was turned back into a tidal wave of victory. The Captain of our salvation has never suffered defeat. The stars in this blue, field remind us of that etar of Bethie- hem which pointed to his birthplace, and became a star of hope to the world The blue rminds us of his un- broken loyaity to the purpose of his incarnation and the will of the Father: the white suggests the unimpeachable purity of his life, and the red stripes recall the agony of His crucifixion, and the blood shed for many for the remis- sion of sins.
