A Thanksgiving Sermon.

ihe slnon delivered at the North Church
Thanksgiving Day by the pastor, Rev r. 7 Hack
Was one of the abiest and most vigorous temper
anre addresses delivered in Belfast for many
day the church fairly wen filed, but the
sermon deserved larger audience. The speaker
handled the advocates of high license liquor law
without gloves.
The Grices opened with prayer by Rev G.. b.
ChatNiel> Of the Methodist Church, who then read
me l13tl psalm For Scripture lesson Mr. Hack
read til 2>th chapter Of Isaiah. which begins
"Woe to the crown Of pride, to the drunkards of
Ephraim" ana Is a warning to the drunkaris of
The day Of the great prophet. The text was from
the l7th verse Of same chapter" Judgment also
VIII | lay to the line, and righteousness to the
p.umme;; and the hail shall sweep away the ref
uge Q. lies, and the waters shall overflow the hid
ing piarc.' The speaker said the people were
paitering with the liquor question 1t is not Il
question Of politics but question OF morals He
SAID the people Of Maine had been asked to give
ur the pEohibitory law and to enact a high license
law In its place Mr. Hack said that prohibition
does prohibit, and that high license law was no
better enforced than a prohibitory law LIQUOR
selling Is q crime, and crime should not be H.
ctnsed. The speaker wanted no part of any money
obtained from such a source. He said that SIG
per capita il the price paid for liquor In the United
States, while in the State of Maine it is only - per
mhaIhtant. This is the difference between free
rum and prohibition. Prohibition is great saving
TO the people of Maine. Who is it that are chm
oring for high license in Maine? The saloons and
lluor dealers some temperance men want a high
license put the speaker said ne never knew a TO-
tai abstinence man to want high license Crime
has increased l20 per cent. in Massachusetts under
high license

A Thanksgiving Reunion In SWanYl!iP

Thanksgiving Day What blessed, hullowcd
memories are associated with this season of the
year. For many years has this day been observed
at the hospitable home Of Mrs. Abigail Nicker,nn
of Swanyie Four years ago the beloved father
Emery Nickerson, was removed from his devoted
family by death, and a gap was made which can
never be bridged. Two others, sweet Sisters who
filed so great place in the family circle that
thoughts Of them almost drown the ioyfulncss III
bitterness, have been taken from US to swell the
nksgiving chorus of Heaven. Notwithstand
Ing these sad remembrances the gool On home
presented most attractive appearance. An the
living children We're present and nine grand
children presenting a merry, earnest company Of
twenty three when seated about the dinner table
spread with all the substantial variety common to
Thanksgiving dinner. IN her usual place sat the
mother who through long lifetime has been con
stantly sowing good seed, as a well reared family
can well testify. She looks about her, filed with
thankfulness and satisfaction that her sced.time
has brought to her such a rich harvest in her chill
dren and grandchildren. The evening was passed
III pleasing conversation and music and all retir-
ed at late hour well pleased with the Thank sgiy-
ing Day Of 1890, and hoping for repetition Of the
same for many years to come.
