EXCITEMENT AT WArERv1LLE,-For $

EXCITEMENT AT WATERvILLE.-For some
time past there has been quite an excitement
at the usually quiet village of Waterville,
over gas machine in the cellar of the new
town hall. 1t was rumored that it was unsafe
and would certainly blow up the building, and
the alarm in consequence became so great that
but few dared to attend meetings in the hall.
Those who had charge of the machine declared
it perfectly safe, but this did not satisfy the
people and they threatened to remove it by
force unless it was taken out by the authorities.
AT last it was decided to leave the matter 10
Mr.. Frank L. Bartlett of this city. Mr. Bart,
lett went down last week to make an examina-
tion. He found the machine perfectly safe
itself, but decided that it was rather near the
furnace, and accordingly ordered it removed to
another part of the cellar and bricked up on
each side to prevent the possibility of fire reach
ing it,

SUNDAY SERVICES.
NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.

Rev. Richard Ward OF Cambridge, Mass,
preached from the tenth chapter Of Matthew,
the calling of the twelve. The reason the Lord
assumed the human shape was that way
might be provided to meet evil and overcome it.
Evil has no power over good; but it could ap-
proach the Saviour and he thus could overcome
it. AT first his power was the power of the
Father through the son; but when the human
became fully glorifed then all power was given
him in heaven and earth. The Father is divine
good, the son divine truth, and the Holy Spirit
divine power proceeding from divine goodness
and truth. The mission of the Lord on earth
was to conquer the hells, to redeem men, and
put it in the power of all men in the future to
receive salvation. The new heavens which
were formed after the last Judgment were COM
posed of Christians who lived in the Lord Jesus,
and the children of Christians who died in in
fancy. The Saviour came to show men that
they had lost all knowledge of goodness, that
the Jews had fallen away from the Lord, and
to teach them how to live. 1t is important to
note the order in which the disciples are named
ia the text, and now they were sent two ard
two Goodness and truth and charity and faith
must always go together, and the disciples
were coupled according to the Specification of
their names. Peter, who signifies truth, is al
ways named hrSt, and Judas last. The lost
sheep of the house of Israel whom the disciples
were sent to save, were those good Israelites
who had not followed false teachings; the king
dom of heaven then at hand was his new
church then forming, for it was also new
church in heaven; and if they followed him on
earth then they would follow him in his heav.
emily kingdom. Always he sends his disciples to
them whom he cannot yet call to himself, and
all we who are his disciples are sent to save the
lost sheep of Israel, to help the sick, the poor
and the suffering. The kingdom of heaven is
at hand, it is present in the spiritual and nat
ural world, in the hearts of all where the Lord
reigneth. The Lord to-day caleth all to him
in his glorifed nature, and sayeth to them go
preach the kingdom of Heaven to all the earth.
Mr.. Ward has commenced an interesting
course of Sunday evening lectures on 'The In
spiration Of the Scripture" "Auimas used as
symbols" "Fishing of men, ''The Life IF
Moses" and "The Mission of Swedenborg.''
