Sunday Services.

Services were conducted by Rev. ]. H. Albert
The text; of the sermon was from Matt tx, 9: And
as Jesus passed forth from thence he saw man.
named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of customs
and he saith unto him. Follow me. And he arose.
and followed Him.
At the time of which the text speaks Matthew
was a tax collector. He had proably seen Jesus
before and was even then considering whether
he should give up his bus mess to become dis
ciple of Christ When Jesus came to his Office at
this time Matthew did not stop to further con-
slider the command, but Immediately expressed
his willingness to become follower of Christ
The most noticeable part eff this text is the call
to the individual person. And this is still the
most noticeable point in the Christian religion
Christ calls to all men. yet the call is addressed to
the special circumstances of the individual.
Were you outside the walls to-day you would
see placards at the postoice calling for recruits
for the United States army. read these pacards,
thousands of others read them. and no further
thought is given the subject. Why? Because they
do not interest us as individuals, they do not at
tract u.s. they are not addressed to the individual
person. therefore cannot hold the attention of all
When Christ calls for recruits to the army of
Christian workers He addresses the individual,
He has something to attract each one of US, some
thing to arou e our personal interest.
In further following the thought suggested by
the words of the text. Mr.. Albert cited the words
and works of notable men in history to show that
there is a subtle something in the Christian re.
ligion that is lacking in all other existing beliefs
and that is the direct call to each individual to
embrace it call that interests in worldly
sense. well confirming our belief that there
is hereafter.

How $4,000 Pounds Was Made a Horse
Power.

When men begin first to become familiar with
the methods of measuring mechan ical power. they
often speculate where the breed OF horses is to
be found VIII oh can keep at work raising $4,000
pounds one foot per minute, the equivalent,
which is familiar to men accustomed to pile drv
ing by horse power of raising $50 pounds 100 feet
per minute. Since SO, coo pounds raised foot
per minute is called one horse power, it is nat
ural for people to think that the eng neers who
established that unit Of measurement based it on
the actual work performed by horses. But that
not the case. The horsepower unit es-
tabli shed by James Watt about century ago, and
in his usual careful manner, proceeded to find out
the average work which the horses of his district
could perform, and he found that the raising of
% coo pounds one foot err minute about an
actual horse power. AT this time he was employed
in the m manufacture of engines. and had almost a
monopoly of the engine building trade. Custom
were so hard to find that all kinds of artificial
announcements were considered necessary to in
duce power users to buy steam engines. AS a
method of encourag ng business. Watt offered to
sell engines reckoning 80 600 foot pounds to a
horse power or onethird more than the actual
And thus, says the Manufacturers Gazette what

mote business has been the means of giving false

The Democratic state Convention

The license Democrats had everything
their own way in the State convention yes
terday They adopted platform made by
themselves and nominated candidate after
their own heart. There were some vigorous
protests against their programme and some
solemn warnings of its results, but the
license men had the votes and they were in
exorable In pushing their demands. Prob
ably Mr.. Clifford correctly reflected their
feeling when he said that political suicide
was better than lingering DEATH such as
the party was now dying. The ease with
which the license men accomplish l their
purpose is explained by the character of the
delegations present. The rural Democrats
had their farm work to attend to, and besides
could not easily bear the expense of attend
ing two conventions. So they staid away
and the hall was filled largely by Democrats.
from the cities, and the towns ofthose local.
ties where the license sentiment bias been as
siduously cultivated for some years past An
examination of the vote shows that the license
strength came very largely from the counties
OF Penobscot. Waldo, Kennebec and Cum
berland In all these counties are cities of
considerable size and many large towns. An
droscoggin and York, however, were strong
the other way The rural towns of the
State were very thinly represented, but
such representatives as they had were almost
solid against the new departure.
For convention, in which the party was
no more adequately represented than in this
one, to take so radical a departure was an
exceedingly rash and reckless act. especially
SO In view Of the fact that the same conven-
tion when much fuller than yesterday, re-
fused to take such action. But whom
the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad. The Bangor gen.
gentlemen who went home feeling so happy
last night will probably discover before
many days that a considerable fraction of
their own party is not prepared to take the
dose prepared for them. The rural Democ-
racy are now, and always have been, strong
prohibitionists, and they are not likely to
surrender their convictions at the behest of a
convention in which large section of tn
party was not represented. Looking at the
convention from purely selfish point of view
the Republicans have no reason to find fault
with its performance. 1t will make the Re-
| publican campaign easier and the Republi-
can victory bigger.
