The strong points supporting the use of Fell
lows Compound of Hypophosphites are, that
while it takes immediate hold upon the sys-
tenn, in stimulating the liver, regulating and
strengthening the muscles of the Heart,
Stomach, Lungs &C., it has no facilitating eff
feet under any circumstances and while its
continued use is marked by the general tonng
of the system, without producing constipating
effects, it may be stopped at any time without
the usual disagreeable effect following the
discontinuance of some otherwise valuable
tonics. These characteristics are particular
ly valuable to consumptives and other debili-

In the city of Augusta, as well as in Saco,
on any one day in the week there can be

of those things they should be educated in,
and being educated in those things they never
should learn. They are fitting themselves for
our almhouses and penetentiaries. They are
growing up bane for society. The influence
upon society that these boys and girls thus
educated will excite cannot be estimated.

The Cold Water Temple.
HALLewELL, Oct. 3, 1871.

HALLewELL, Oct. 3, 1871.
DEAR JOURNAL: 1 had the pleasure of
visiting the "Cold Water Temple" in this city
last evening. 1t has been organized about
four months, and now numbers about one
hundred and twenty-five little folks of both
sexes, between the ages of ten and sixteen
years.
They have an initiation fee and pass word,
and are conducted on the same principles as
Good Templars, Temples of Honor, and other
secret temperance organizations.
There was no initiation ceremony last eve
ming, but about one hundred boys and girls
were assembled, and passed an hour in decla-
nation and reading. And 1 thought how
much more profitable than to be walking the
street, or perhaps engaging in some question
able amusement The order was good and
might put to shame some organizations of
older people.
This Temple was organized by Rev. o. NJ.
Cousens of our city, who has been appointed
to organize temples wherever he may be in
vited to do So Such organizations have long
been needed, and they are springing up all
over the country.
Educate the children; let them assume re-
sponsibility in this matter, and they will be
temperance men and women when they grow
up to fill our places, which must soon be va
cant. S.

Rev. Joseph Kicker, d. b., pastor of the
| First Baptist church in this city, announced
on the last Sabbath his resignation of his pas
| torate, to take effect on the first of January
next, closing the sixth year of his ministry
here. DIR. Kicker took occasion to recount
the blessings and the trials that had attended
these six years, the various influences that
led him to settle in Augusta, and the degree
of success that had attended the cause. On
his coming here the congregation did not ex-
coed sixty, the prayer meetings were feebly
sustained, and the church edifce was not up
to the demands of the place. Pecuniary
weakness followed, and it was found simply
impossible to pay current expenses without
aid from the Missionary convention. There
was soon an improvement in all these things;
the people becoming united and hopeful,
looked forward to the erecting of new house
and commenced the accumulation of build.

visit to his friends in other States to secure
funds. About $1,000 was secured outside of
Augusta to aid in tho enterprise. In Augusta

nearly $4,000 in ALL There remains
debt of $4,000 on the church, but the
building is the property of the church, no
pews being owned by individuals The in
fuence of the new church has been to expand
the pecuniary resources of the society. 1t is
now raising more than $500 each year for OBJ
jects abroad, and furnishing $500 more for
home use than when worshiping in the old
church. During the six years fifty have been
added to this church, twenty -one the past
year. DR.. Kicker has accepted the position of
Secretary Of the Maine Baptist Missionary
Convention, and will after the first of Janua-
ry devote his whole time and energies to its
interests. While his heart is in this work he
is partially impelled to take this step on ac-
count of physical exhaustion in the pressing
duties of the pastoral relation. The new po-
sition will require less study and more cut of
door exercise, and we trust may work fav-
orable change. We are happy to learn that
DIR. Kicker will continue to reside in the city,
and the church with which he is so soon to
sever his present relations, will have the ben
eft of his counsel and advice.
