The age of railroads and the telegraph gives
rise to fast living, and increases the desire
for making rapid fortunes-some wishing to
outstrip, and others to be at least equal to
their neighbors. In order to keep up with
this eager and unequal contest, the brain is
taxed to its utmost power, while humanity is
rendered an easy prey to disease. The
Heart. Liver, Stomach, Lungs, or Nervous
System becomes afflicted, and sickness, in
the form of Heart Disease, Jaundice, Dys-
pepsia, Bronchitis, Consumption, Paralysis,
Mania, is the result The use of Fellows

Free Baptist Anniversaries.
FIRST DAY.

The Anniversaries of the Free Baptist Be-
nevolent Societies of New England are now
being held at the Free Baptist church in this
city. There is a goodly number already in
attendance, the denomination throughout New
England being well represented.
The Anniversary Convention was held last
evening, the President, Rev. c. o. LIBBY of
Dover, n. H., in the chair.
Prayer was offered by Rev. John Stevens
of Biddeford. The records Of the last meet
ing we're read. Treasurers report read and
accepted.
committee consisting Of Messrs. Curtis,
Smith and Rand was appointed to nominate
board of officers for the ensuing year. The
committee reported and the officers were
elected as follows
President, f. Knowlton; Vice President,
c. +. Penney; Secretary and Treasurer, l.
ID. Stewart; Committee of Arrangement, c.
o. Libby, /. d. Stewart, G. II. Ball, W. II.
Bowen.
The Anniversary sermon was preached by
Rev. ID. W. {. Durgin, of Hampton, n II.
His text was in Matthew IA, "Ye are the
light of the world" He considered the dark
ness that brooded over the new born world
and the great contest between darkness and
light, until the sun became the great illumin-
ator. There was a time also when darkness
brooded over the moral universe. The Sun of
righteousness dispersed the shadows and
made glad portion of the moral world.
Christ illuminated the world with his words
of truth, and fully revealed the character of
the human heart. As the physical sun will
never cease to shed its rays upon the earth, so
the Sun of righteousness will ever shine
on human hearts. He is the only light
Should the physical sun go out how dreary
and barren and death-like would be our earth.
But thousand times more dreadful for the
moral sun to refuse to shine. The personal
presence of Christ we cannot have, but his
work on earth must be carried forward by the
men whose hearts He has touched and taught
they are to be the light of the world The
following thoughts suggested by these words
the speaker took occasion to notice: First
i " tiIS CIuIIIl III SellcIdl anu W lHc
ministry in an emphatic sense, is committed
the work of enlightening the world. Second
The intensity of the light reflected, and
consequently the efficiency of the church
or the minister will be in proportion to
their purity. Third-As the light of the
world, the christian is to shine constantly.
Fourth-We should be ready to reflect Christ
with just that power that God has given US
and from just that position in which Provi-
dence has placed US. The speaker, in clos
ing, thanked God for the lesser lights for the
feeblest man whom Christ has commissioned
to go forth and preach His gospel. Get such
a man thoroughly stirred, on the upward
grade, fairly fronting God, and he will exert
an influence and accomplish results that will
cause the world in wonder to ask, whence
hath this man this power?'

Another name must be dropped from the
list of aged citizens published by US few
weeks since. Charles Keene died at his resi-
dence on Winthrop street in this city, yester-
day morning at three O'Clock, in the seventy
seventh year of his age. He had been con-
fined to his house about five months, the most
of which time he has been great sufferer.
Mr. Keene came to Augusta from his native
town, Bristol, when about eighteen years
of age. He was apprenticed to Ephralm Bal
lard, who had the reputation OF being the best
carpenter on the river, and assisted Mr. Bal
lard in the construction of the present Ken
nebec bridge. He became master of his trade,
and was one of the most finished workmen
and builders in this community. He was mas
ter carpenter in the erection of the arsenal
the hardware business, under the firm of
Keene & Weston. Their store stood on the
spot where the Cony House now stands.
Mr.. Keene was one of the oldest Masons in the
city, being corporate member of Bethlehem
lodge, which was chartered in 1922, and ad-
herring to the fraternity through sunshine and
storm, not losing his interest in Masonry even
during the famous Morgan excitement The
funeral services of the deceased will take
place on Thursday in the Universalist church,
Keene, by Rev. Messrs. Drew and Moor.
The body will then be taken in charge by the
fraternity and buried with Masonic honors.

The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun-

fan less cost, with the additional advantages that it
is portable and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
1t promises in immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention
