A BOLD BURGLARY.

Mr.. Fred Curtis, who lives q short
distance from this city on the road to
Gorham, had his house burglarized Sat-
urday morning. Mr.. Curtis is an I'M
married man and lives all alone. Satur-
day morning he closed up his house and
started with his team to haul load of
dirt for Mr.. Pride, who lives on Pleasant
street He was away about an hour, and
during his absence some person or persons
broke into his house and ransacked it
from top to bottom. Heshad;a chest in
his house that was locked. This they
stove open with an axe and pulled the
contents out and scattered them about.
They evidently thought there might be
money in it, but there was not. They left
without finding anything of much value
as Mr.. Curtis was not in the habit of
leaving his money in the house. The
parties escaped.
There will be meeting of the citizens
tonight at Valentine Hose house to make
final arrangements for the parade next
Wednesday to the Cumberland County
Fair. Everything promises to make this
a grand occasion, one that the. city Of
Westbrook can we'll feel proud OF. Every
one interested Is earnestly requested to be
at the mceting tonight.

AT CONGRESS STREET METHODIST
CHURCH.
A Special Sermon to American Mechan'
les Yesterday.

At the Congress street Methodist
church yesterday afternoon, there was
special services for the Washington
Council, No. 8, A. W. A. NJ. About
thirty members attended in body. MIR.
Lindsay took his text from the Book of
Romans. 1t was the following sentence
But yet would have you wise unto
that which is good and simple concerning
evil"
The text seems to suggest both develop
ment and expression. The mind, heart
and soul should be stored with all that
would minister to the highest and
noblest wisdom, in order to secure this
development.
Mr.. Lindsay spoke of the lessons OF
development that nature affords, but de-
clared that the great book OF nature does
not teach the necessary lessons OF moral
development, that can be found only in
the Book of God.
This Book can be studied without
profit, by those who seek only to criticize.
We need to study it without prejudice,
and with clear vision and understand
ing This clear vision is the result OF
prayer.
Only when prayer has become the habit
Of the soul can man come into closest
understanding of Gods word Prayer is
the breath of the soul and faith Is the
breath of prayer. We must throw over
board the idea that any belief is COM
mendable, provided the believer is sincere.
Mr.. Lindsay contrasted the difference
between Christianity and the other great
religions of the world
He said that an ounce of fact is worth
a ton Of theory. You may not be able to
meet all the arguments of the enemies OF
Christianity with other arguments, but
the facts of Christianity will overwhelm
all adverse arguments.

SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS PROCEEDINGS
Another Vigorous Talk on Temperance by Mrs. Beauchamp-The Beautiful Services
 of the Sabbath.

Talladega, July 2O.-(Special Corre- spondence )-Mrs. Beauchamp this morn ing gave the last of her Woman's Chris tian Temperance union talks, which have been throughout blessing to those who have come under their influence, @ bless ing which will continue in ever widening circles. Her subject was Juvenile Work" She began by speaking of the Encouragement the women suffered when it was charged that so many men who sign the pledge afterwards fall back. Enough to make them lift their hearts in joyful gratitude to God is the fact, proven by actual statistics, that 97h per cent of the children who sign the pledge keep it until they are 21, and 99 per cent of those who keep it until they are that age never begin to drink. An apt illustration was that of the one man who walked over Niagara falls on tight rope; yet thousands and thousands are every year walking the tight rope of total abstinence over the settling whiri- pool of drunkenness.
 One reason why the world is not con- verted is that most Christians always remain babies. If we as Christians would lift up Jesus Christ in our daily life and walk it would be an irresistible power. What is it that makes Christ the Sa- yior, the Redeemer? It was his willing l1ess to come down from his home in the skies and lift up fallen humanity.
 Many people say "I'd like to be in the Woman's Christian Temperance union work. It's a grand work; but the fact is it's very unpopular" Women, stop a moment and think.
 The Woman's Christian Temperance union is not divorced from the church; it is a part of the church. I may repeat many things I've said to you, but I couldn't possibly beg you too much to do this work for God and home and native land Women, when you want prayer answered rise and work on Gods side. You must raise men of the type you want. Don't be so much occupied in making garments for your child's flesh that you neglect his immortal soul. And though you may be able to protect your own child, have you no duty toward the great number of motherless little ones, and that greater number of those worse than motherless, having mothers without the mothers heart? The saddest thing my eyes ever rested upon is the little child that never had chance.
 As Mrs. Beauchamp finished MT. Sam Jones went forward, and said he'd like to add a word 10 what the good woman had said.
 By instinct, birth, education, affilia-
