6 THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 27. discussion, but went on to offer means for more vigorous prosecution and a greater enlargement of the missionary spirit. First- -Our duty to furnish more men and money arises from the vastness and impor- tance of the work. God has made rich provisions of saying grace for the fallen sons of Adam and He has not made an exexception for those of foreign lands.

There are now nine hundred millions of souls in the bonds of sin in those lands. How could they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? This vastness was not confined to the mere future welfare of the beathen but to his social condition and elevation, They were found by missionaries to be in a state of degradation far below our comprehension, and it was their first duty to improve them in that respect. Second -A due appreciation of our condition and prospects as American Baptists demands greater consecration of men and means for foreign mission work. The Baptists were considered as having great reasons for gratitude to God for their situation and should therefore do all in their power to extend the knowledge of God. Third -Our duty arises from our ability to do so.

God has done much for us and in proportion to our ability and means we should do all possible for Him. The membership of our church now numbers 000. Twenty-five cents a year from each member would give the sum of one penny a week for a year would give $780,000. A large number of churches possibly could not do this. Let them see then what they can do.

With a membership of a million and a half suppose that one in twenty were young men, giving 000 young men in the church. Of these suppose one in seven are studying for the learned professions, one-third of which were preparing for the ministry, and onesixth should be fitting themselves for foreign mission work, the latter of whom would number 611. What an array that would make for carrying the gospel to that benighted world The church certainly ought to be able to send as many as that every year, being only one in two thousand four hundred and fifty-five of the entire church membership. Rev. R.

M. Luther, of Bennington, followed with an essay on the "Evangelization of Heathen nations possible within the present This paper was preeminently valuable, its author being once 8 missionary in foreign lands and knowing well concerning the subject treated. His interesting and logical manner of treating it was in itself commendable and enlisted the admiration of all hearers. He stated his belief in the statement made in the subject, that all could be converted to God in twenty-five years. Every year made the solution of the problem, how to do it, more easy.

First. By evangelization we must understand the proclaiming of the gospel to those who have not heard its teachings, and in such a way that it might reach every man. This was as far as we are required to go, to publish to every man so that he can believe it it he will. This we can do and less we should not do, while we can do more by persuasion, entreaty and the use of every power of our mental and 1120- ral forces. Second.

What is the legitimate field for mission work Three places were cOnsidered Central Asia, Central Africa and Polynesia, containing heathen to the number of 1,000,000,000. In Asia there were 807,000,000 inhabitants 713,000 of whom were Protestant christians, 4,695,000 Roman Catholics and 793,407,634 heathen, at the close of the year 1870. Could they be reached by the gospel in twenty-five years? Doubt said Hope said "By God's grace," while Faith pointed to the many like examples of great revolutions in the scriptures. The author then took up three leading points to be considered 1st. The number of missionaries already in the field.

2d. The average duration of their labors. 3d. The number of native helpers. There were 515 American missionaries now in the field or about 1,000 in all, and in 1872 America sent to help them the sum of $2,132,364.

The average duration of the missionary's labor was considered to be less than ten years. The great and untiring efforts to be put forth were such as to need fresh hands every ten years. An interesting statement was then made in regard to the native helpers, in which was related many points touching the author's experience. At the conclusion of the valuable essay of Mr, Luther the audience joined in singing a verse of the familiar "Missionary Hymn." Rev. W.

S. McKenzie then read a paper prepared by Mrs. Dr. Train, of the 'Helping Hand," on the subject of the Aim, and Progress of our Woman's Work in Foreign Missions," which was interesting to all present and more especially to many ladies in attendance. The paper remarked that it was little more than sixty years since the heathen work was thrust upon the Baptist church, which, although of unexpected, was accepted gladly, and then referred to the great pressure brought to bear upon the wives of the missionaries.

Woman's societies were organized in Boston, April 8, 1871, and in Chicago the May following, for Baptist missionary work. The eastern field embraced the New England and Middle states. The first year reits ceipts amounted to $9,175, the second year in over $20,000, and thus far in the third year more than $17,000. Five missionaries have been sent out, five schools regularly supplied with funds, and ten Bible women supplied with books. Five hundred missionary circles have been formed whose members save two cents per week for the work all and a hearty interest had been awakened.

The paper closed with an earnest exhortation to the women to join in the movement. Rey. S. T. Brown of Cavendish followed with a valuable paper on "Foreign Mission Effort in the 'Apostolic The paper to was Alled with interesting historical facts concerning missions in that age -which a were made especially calculated to give a a a good idea of the comparative work done re- then and now.

Rev. Charles Hibbard of Chester, the and president of the meeting, then read an into teresting paper on "The Gospel adapted to every kind and grade of Heathenism." as This essay, like that of Rev. Mr. Luther, mis- WAS who great had value as giving the missionof ideas of one had experience 08 a ary in Burmah for a number of years. Over 800,000 converts attested to the power and adaptiveness of God's power to satisfy our moral natures.

Interesting experiences were then related on by both Rev. Mr. Luther and Rev. Mr. Hibbard, and short and pertinent remarks were made by Rev.

W. N. Wilbur of Saxton's River, Rev. R. R.

Prentice of Townshend, Deacon Mial Davis of Burlington, for and Rev. W. 8. McKenale, the latter of whom made an earnest appeal to the ministry to sow the seed gathered at this meetin ing among their people. The meeting then adjourned until halfthe past seven o'clock for evening service.

Among the converts to the new temperance movement in New York city, is Rufus S. Andrews, surveyor of the port under President Lincoln. He was secretary to Governor Williams during his governorship. Senator Edmunds has been advised by his physicians that he must seek relief from his active labors, for awhile. He is proposing to go south, by sea, and try the effect of a change of climate, and life in the open air for a few weeks.

We are sorry to hear that the health of Senator Dorsey, of Arkansas, is a Vermonter by birth, is rapidly failing. His friends are very much alarmed at his condition, and do not think he can live many days. The claim of Marcus P. Norton of Troy for the invention of a postoffice stamp is still before the house judiciary committee -or rather his bill is there. He asks that his claim may go before the court of claims and be settled there.

The usual croakings about the failure of of the fruit crop begin to be heard. The heavy wind Monday night broke up the ice in St. Albans Bay and there is no crossing to North Hero from that point. A sharp canvass is going on in relation to the coming March election. Both the temperance men and liberals have tickets in the field, and both are confident of victory.

Mark French, sentenced to nine months' imprisonment at the U. S. District court at Windsor in July last, for smuggling, has been pardoned by the President. The remains of Lieut. L.

H. Robinson, formerly of Swanton, who was killed by the Sioux Indians on the 9th near Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territory, was buried on Monday last with military honors at Hartford, Conn. On Thursday the United States Court at Burlington was occupied principally in bankruptcy proceedings. The Manchester Mirror learns that W. W.

Storrs, the thieving bank official, is in Montreal. A correspondent of the Burlington Free Press suggests the name of Horatio N. Bull of Hancock in Addison county for Governor, as a gentleman favoring retrenchment and reform and living on the Green Mountain range midway between the east and west line of the State remote from and above all railroads and railroad influences. Ladies' Temperance Mass Meeting. A very enthusiastic meeting of the ladies' temperance association resulted in a complete arrangement for a womens mass meeting, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, accepting Rev.

Mr. Austin's courteous invitation to gather at his church. We would most cordially invite every lady in sympathy with the persistent enforcement of our state liquor law, to present themselves ready to cheer and encourage in the good cause. AN INFURIATED Last evening, between seven and eight o'clock, Patrick Haley went into the barber shop of James E. Smith, in the Central House block, in an intoxicated condition.

After sitting awhile, it was notieed that he acted strangely, and his brother Capt. John Haley, came in to endeavor to have him go to his home, at which he became infuristed, breaking a window and throwing about spittoons, succeeding in creating stampede of bystanders on the double quick. About this time officer Wheeler appeared on the scene. Haley caught lantern from the hand of his brother, with which he made a furious assault upon the officer, breaking the lantern in pieces over Wheeler's head. The officer parried blow by raising his arm, or he might have been seriously injured.

Policeman Wheeler then struck him a blow with his "billy" which brought down the maddened Haley, when he was handcuffed and taken to without further resistance. The Liquor Crusade, The excitement which has been prevalent for several days, in consequence of liquor seizures was more subdued yesterday, and there is but little to note beyond two seizures made by deputy-sheriff H. 0. Perkins at Centre Rutland, which consistel of a half barrel of ale taken from Mrs. Ann Foster, and jugs of whisky from Phineas R.

Gleason. 8. J. Loop, on a writ of replevin, received back the liquors and wines taken from his establishment on Saturday, for which, after being duly appraised, bonds were given to cover any damages and costs that may accrue. The officers appointed to make seizures have performed their duty energetically and faithfully.

It is the purpose of the movers in this work to make it effectual and vindicate the laws of the state by rigid enforcement. restraining so far as possible the indiscriminate sale of liquor in our midst. The prevalent movement which is exterding over the whole country has infused a spirit of enthusiasm into the temperance people of Rutland, who are evidently in earnest in this matter. The ladies have taken hold of the work and will hold a mass meeting of women of Rutland at the Methodist church on Saturday afternoon next to consider their duty inthe present crisis. The Destroyed Fire water.

On Wednesday Justice B. W. Marshall held an inquest on the liquor seized since the raids commenced. We append a list of the condemned, destroyed, and delivered to the town agent. The reporter of THE GLOBE made a civil application to the justice for a list on Wednesday evening, but it was not turnished bim, although the official was in hot haste to furnish the same to our contemporary.

Consistency and civility jewel, and certainly it ought to be one of the crowns of an officer of the law. When a proper application is made for information, one party is by courtesy as much entitled to it as another. Are the scales of justice evenly balanced DESTROYED. One forty-gallon cask of whiskey, one keg of wine, one pail of whiskey, one jug of gin, taken from J. T.

Seventeen casks, eighteen quart bottles, one gallon jug and seven 2 gallon jugs of liquor taken from John and Thomas Caden. DELIVERED TO TOWN AGENT. Two casks of gin, one cask of sherry wine, and one cask of brandy taken from the freight depot. Readings of Prof. Raymond.

The Shakspearian readings given by Prof. R. R. Raymond of Brooklyn, N. at the Congregational chapel last evening, may be rightly placed among the best entertainments which the season has afforded in Rutland.

The audience was quite large, filling the spacious hall of the chapel nearly to repletion, and was composed of our best and most cultivated citizens. The entertainment was graciously opened by a piano solo from Prof. George A. Meitzke, after which the reader of the eyening was introduced by Rev. J.

Gibson Johnson, who took occasion, in a fitting manner, to allude to the compliment paid Prof. Raymond by Henry Ward Beecher in the remark that "the superintendent of the Sabbath school in his church had often favored him with readings from Shakspeare, which had given him a better idea of that writer than anything else had eyer done." That superintendent was Prof. Raymond. The reader, in the outset, aunounced that he would give extracts from two of Shakspeare's plays. He then began with the reading of extracts from "The Merchant of Venice," taking first the 3d Scene of Act where Bassanio asks the loan of three thousand ducats from Shylock, the Jew, and in the course of which, after the entrance of Antonio, the bond, whereon hangs the principal plot of the play rests, viz, in the words of Shylock: Go with me to a notary seal ine there Your single bond; and in a merry sport.

If you repay me not on such a day, In such a place, such sum or sums, as are Expressed in the condition, let the forfeit Be nominated for an equal pound or your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken In what part of your body pleaseth me. In this scene was shown at once to the discrimination and delight of the audience the great dramatic force possessed by the reader, especially in portraying the acts and language of the Jew. The Professor then read the second scene of Act II. which was, as suggested by the reader, given to relieve the audience, and intertwine a neat little bit of comedy betwixt the lines of the tragedy. This brought before us the great adaptability of the Professor for comedy, in depicting the character of Launcelot Gobbo and also that of his father.

This was one of the best enjoyed portions of the evening's entertainment and was capitally enacted by the reader. He then turned to the first scene of Act III. where the plot thickens and in which the news of Antonio's loss at sea is conveyed to Shylock; also by the same messenger, Tubal, is given him news, from comforting, of his runaway daughter. Here was shown the consummate skill in facial expression, depicting the changes undergone by Shylock in hearing good and bad news alternately. The reader then read the first scene of Act IV.

giving the account of the trial by the court of justice of Antonio, Shylock demanding "the penalty and forfeit of the bond." The fair Portia here appears in disguise, making one of the most admired and charming characters to be found in Shakespeare's entire works. The reader, as must have been observed, was suffering 8 under a severe cold, consequently his reading of Portia's lines was hardly in keeping with the standard of his other representations, owing to hoarseness of voice. a An intermission of a few minutes was then given, which was well Allled with another piano solo by Prof. Mietzke. At the re-appearance of the reader the scene changed and the audience were conducted into the fairy enchantments of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The reader took up only those portions of the comedy relating to the rehearsal and presentation of the play of "Pyramus and and commencing with the rehearsal, in the second scene of Act I.

This scene, 88 well as the selections from the comedy throughout, was highly enjoyable, Indicrous and inexpressibly funny. Each character was given a particular look and speech, peculiar to himself, each of which had much of the ludicrous therein. The scene was then changed to the meeting the "amateurs" at the wood, as described in the first scene of Act III, where the irrepressible Puck 18 introduced as charming the queen Titania, who on awaking falls in love with Bottom. This was extremely laughable situation and highly enjoyed, the audience vociferously applauding the imitation of Bottom's singing. The reader then took the last part of first scene of Act IV, when the players awake, which was made particularly laughable by the gaping of the Professor and the lines of Bottom; then taking scene second, where Bottom appears to Quince Snug, after being duly eulogized "gone before." The first scene of Act omitting the first portion and commencing with the entertainment by the Duke, and bringing out the great and ludicrous play of "Pyramus and Thisbe," as presented to the Duke and party.

Nothing can be imagined in the role of a reader, more brimming with laughter and enjoyment than was this scene made by the Professor, and the two hours spent with him by the audience will be long remembered and pleasantly cherished by all who were present. FOREIGN MISSION MEETING RUTLAND. Thursday's Session. The Baptist foreign mission meeting which was inaugurated at the Baptist church in this village on Wednesday evening was continued on Thursday, the services commencing at 9 o'clock in the morning. A half hour was Spent in a season of prayer, after which the meeting was organized by the election of Rev.

Charles Hibbard of Chester, as President, and Rev. W. I. Rugg of Perkinsyille, as Clerk. The first paper read was by Rev.

Mark Carpenter of Windbam, on the theme; "the grand motive to mission work-the love of the disciple for his Lord." This was a well grounded and logical essay showing much power and thought upon the subject. It treated directly upon the ground work of the theme -the motive power of the missionary, and gave many interesting instances of self-sacrificing devotion of the missionary in his labors. A brief address was then delivered by Rev. Foster Henry of North Bennington, the foundation of which was "the missionary concert, the best channel through which to aid the cause of foreign missions." Ile dealt clearly and forcibly with the subject, giving many strong and wholesome views upon it, and eliminating his points with well digested remarks. Rev.

W. S. McKenzie, the agent of the missionary union, of Boston, then gave a short, address on the objects of the executive committee in holding these meetings, the purposes for which they are called and the great and material good they have done in other States of our Union. Mr. Levi K.

Fuller, of Brattleboro, next read a paper on christian use of money." Mr. Fuller is of the well known firm of J. Estey and was therefore well able to form an opinion and express the same upon the subject--that firm being one of the most benevolent as well as successful companies in Vermont. The paper was practical in application, well worded and adapted itself unmistakably to the wants of the convention. Dea, Mial Davis, another successful business man, of the large lumber firm of Shepard, Davis of Burlington, read an essay upon the same subject, taking perhaps a broader view of the subject, and at the same time failing not to elicit the attention and fullest sympathy of the audience.

Rev. J. S. Goodall, of South Londonderry, followed in an address upon the responsibility of the Christian to improve his abilities -and time to the best advantage in behalf of Christ and the spiritual necessity of the world. He brought up many trite examples of men who had sacrificied much for the up-building of God's Kingdom and paid them an earnest eulogy.

The next paper was read by Rev. T. H. Archibald of West Cornwall, on "A scriptural missionary spirit the test and measure of an enlightened piety." This was one of the soundest essays presented before the convention during the day, and was listened to with marked attention. He took up the earlier leaders of the Papal church as examples, and traced down to the present time the instances of those who had done the most in the 1 missionary field and who were found to be endowed with that enlightened piety and also with an understanding of the great merits of the missionary work.

An essay was then read by Rev. Richard Nott of Colchester, on "The home work of foreign missions," which was a clear and well written production on this great and important branch of the work, after which the morning session was closed with prayer by Rev. McKenzie of Boston. AFTERNOON SESSION. In the afternoon the church was well filled with the ministers and the public generally, and the exercises were made especially interesting throughout.

Opening prayer was offered by Rev. R. R. Prentice of Townshend, who prayed especially in behalf of the stricken tamily, from whose number one had been suddenly called by death. The first paper of the afternoon was read by Rev Rugg of Perkinsville.

Subject: "Mission work, the chief aim and duty of a christian church." The paper took aggressive ground upon the subject and claimed that a church was not a church unless she attempted to carry out the design of redemption of all the world. The labors of the pastor must be extended and he must endeavor to imbue the minds his hearers with the great and superior importance of the work for foreign missions. Rev Farrar of Ludlow, then read an essay on "Mission service requires and deserves the best talent in the ministry." The best were considered as none too well qualified for the work. Every good enterprise deserved the best talent adapted to needs and he should say with another calling for volunteers for the war "If you have men you cannot spare, send them." He referred to the career of the Apostle Paul who, inspired with the Holy Ghost, was able to oppose all fallacies, remove doubts and overcome every obstacle except that of sheer persecution. The christian world, too, should work in harmony with divine economy.

Inter -communication with other countries was rapidly increasing and we should doubtless soon be able read the events of the whole world in day. God was indeed setting wide open door for great usefulness. The service quired the best intellectual attainment discipline as the heathen always wish know whereof the missionary affirms. of Organizing talent was also considered nowhere more desirable than in the sionary feld, while sound physical constitutions were. also of positive avail.

Rev. W. 9. McKenzie read a letter from an Rev. H.

N. Hovey, of Lowell, regretting his inability to be present at the meeting account of prostration by illness. Rev. E. Mills then read paper upon the "The duty and ability of American Baptists to furnish more men and money Foreign The paper commenced by remarking that the duty of Baptists this direction had passed beyond dispute and so it therefore would not reopen Chittenden County Temperance Convention.

The annual meeting of the Chittenden county temperance convention was held at Burlington, Feb. 25th. The total membership of the society is 153, including 7 ladies. The additions for the year were 59. The name of the society was changed to the County Political Temperance Society," and its constitution provides for committees to question candidates set up by the other political parties, etc.

The following are the leading officers of the society: President--John Liscum. Burlington. Secretary- J. R. Forest, Winooski.

Treasurer- Mrs. E. C. Robinson Fin. Sec.

-Mrs. S. J. Bishop. Among the vice -presidents were Hon.

A. B. Halbert and Amos Hobart of Essex, who did not approve the basis on which the society was now formed and other gentlemen were substituted in their places. The convention for the nomination of county commissioner was also held Wednesday. Rev Beeman of Milton, presi dent Andrews of Richmond, secretary.

It was a delegate convention upon the basis adopted by the republican convention of that county. James Squier of Charlotte was unanimously renominated for county commissioner. Mr. Squier submitted a report which gives the people some idea of the sales of liquor at the town agencies, and as it is a model we take his statement of sales, as an item of interest and may, perhaps, serve as an example to those commissioners who give their constituents little or no idea of the traffic in liquors under their supervision.

He had not received so much aid from temperance men as he had a right to expect. The convention was a full one composed of such men as E. Mason, W.

Western and Canada butter is pretty closely bought up. Every indication promises that the coming season will be a prosperous one to dat- rymen.
