IN GODS FIRST TEMPLES.
Report Of the Advent Campmeeting mt
Waterville.
THURSDAY.

The meeting opens with lovely weather and
under very favorable circumstances. ID. NJ.
Canright, leading minister in this denomi-
nation. arrived yesterday from Michigan.
He expresses himself much pleased with the
appearance of the grove, especially the speak
ers' stand which is beautifully trimmed. 1t
is covered with white cloth draped in front to
form an arch, on which is printed in brilliant
letters the texts, BLESSED are they that do
His commandments" and ''Can We not discern
the signs of the times ?'' Upon the desk is a
large rustic cross with flowers and grass ar
ranged upon it which is much, admired.
Thirty-two tents are now on the ground and
more will be erected. At 10. 80 A. NJ. Ed.
Canright preached, taking his text from John
3.l6. "For God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten son." In these words
Christ, whose authority is unquestiOnable,
tells the Fathers feeling toward us, one OF
intense love which the whole Bible breathes
forth. He yearns to help, not harm. Loves
us because He made us in His own image.
Our weakness appeals powerfully to Him.
Christ by coming to earth, and suffering
here. and then by His return to the heavenly
mansions as mediator, has Joined humanity
to divinity For the Sons sake mortal pray
er is heard and answered. But. although
God is SO loving and the author of love. He
cannot make heart to love Him. l nat
must be our free gift which He tries in every
way to gain. giving His Son. asking to be
called by the tender name of Father Believe
W hen you have come to God earnestly and
honestly, that he does help, love and pardon
and pity now. and so go on from grace to
grace, from strength to strength.
Ed. Canright preached again at 7. NJ.
from I'd Peter 3 Is and 9. Peters argument is
that the Lord will come again. still the time
before his coming will be so long that many
y ill think God has forgotten his word But
God does not count time as men do. What
seems of long duration in our sight because
of our short life is nothing in His sight, for
his wears have no end. His promises never
fail, although long. long DELAYED. The
promise to Eve, ''Thy seed shall bruise the
serpent's head" those to Abraham. the one
concerning the giving of the promised land to
the people of Israel, and many others, are
striking illustrations of this fact, viz: God
never forgets, but waits in love and mercy
So Christ's coming is sure, and even now
draws near.
Ed Butler from Iowa is expected this
evening. Eds Goodrich, Weber and others
in Maine are on the ground. l. :.

terrible Explosion in the Warren pova.,

~ne nan Blown Across a River
Instantly Killed.

Inc heaviest explosion that ever occr--.,
at the powder mandatory of Watson pn,
NIL & Co., at Warren, took place Tbur,a,,
at lilo A. NJ. There are some six ~ ..
buildings. and work was going on in al, q,

anu tnat neither exploded is little
Tess than miraculous. There was one
man at work in the coming mill. named Sam.
ual Mank of Warren. He was thrown 400
feet across Georges river and Instantly k;l,ad
bis body seems to have struck the ground
some fifty fest short of where it stopped. be.
ing blown along horizontally for that dis.
lance. His heart, torn from the BODY. was
found near the place where he first struck the
ground The body was otherwise horribly
mangled, being almost unacceptable as a
human being, and little else than a mass Of
bloody, quivering flesh. One arm was miss.
ing and has not yet been found. Mr.. Mank
resided in Warren, and leaves a widow
and two children. The cause of the
explosion cannot be definitely ascertained
Those nearest the coming mill say that min
ute or two before the explosion the machinery
stopped and did not start again. 1t seems
probable that this machinery became clogged
and stopped, and that in trying to free it Mr..
Mank used some iron implement to PRIV on
the machinery. A very slight friction
would strike spark which would
cause an explosion, and this one NAV
have occurred in that manner The de-
molished eSl contained 1876 pounds of the
finest sporting powder, which is very valuable.
The machinery destroyed is not very costly
NOR are the buildings, which are made as
light as possible. The aggregate loss is, how
ever, quite heavy. Considerable damage was
done at the village. A great deal of glass in
the shoe factory, the wooden factory and 9TH
er buildings was broken. The conclusion
was so heavy in West Camden and Thomaston
each five miles distant, that glass was cracked
and doors blown open by it in some in
stances. Watson, Burrill & Cos loss will be
about $4,000, exclusive of the damage by the
interruption of their business. All the mill
buildings are more or less damaged.

woMEN's NEW EMPLOYMENT.

Speaking Of the new employments in
which women have of late entered into
competition with men, the New York
San says: ''rhey study medicine; a
few of them have entered the less con-
genial profession of law, though for that
the feminine temperament and intellect
seem to be little adapted; and many Of
them have gone into departments Of in
dustry from which they weie formerly
excluded and from which they them
selves would once have shrunk. In
Germany they are found in orchestras
of theatres and opera houses, and here
they are telegraphers, artists, postmis-
tresses and cashiers, while in France
they have long been important assist
ants OF their husbands in the practical
conduct Of business or trades. Whereas
not many years ago there were compar-
aiively few saleswomen in New York,
now they are counted by the thousand.
Cultivated women put themselves in
training to become professional nurses,
business or profession at which hand
some wages can be earned. Others have
employment in newspaper Offices, and
there are many women engaged in com.
posing rooms. Much Of the artistic
work for many industries is also done by
feminine hands, and the occupations
open to them are yearly increasing in
number. Another calling into which
women entered of late years is the
Christian ministry. Some of them have
become regular preachers and pastors,
and some OF them, like the Widow Van
Colt, are evangelists of the Moody and
Sankey sort. They are most frequent
~ seen in the Methodist and Universal
ist churches, and il cannot he denied
that they are generally very popular
preachers, and able to make their full
share of converts. They are fluent,
sympathetic, enthusiastic and tireless,
and in some cases have succeeded in ex-
citing religious interest where preachers
Of the other sex have failed to draw an
audience.
