1t is often asked if the Gospel Mis-
sion on upper Water street does any
good. and to answer this question
best, an example can be shown that
will drive all doubts from the mind.
and even if it We're the only case that
happens once in year. and it is MOI.
the mission would be doing a grand
good work. Before the mission was
started. there was a family living in
the city, whose head would upon every
Saturday night come home drunk, and
afterWard blows were exchanged he
tween the drunken husband and the
wife, who lived in constant misery, as
many a poor woman does in like cases
One night. the husband saw the crowd
in the mission rooms, and although he

said, out of pure curiosity He became
interested in the meeting, and re-
solved to so again. which he did. and
visit after visit ne made. each time
becoming more and more interested.
One Saturday evening he returned
home sober. as he had since he began
to visit the meetings. His wife asked
him what had come over him, and he
told her. She could hardly believe it,
and to convince her, he invited her TO
go to the next evenings meeting with
him, which she did. They soon be

Special Gospel Services

The plan of Salvation was plainly
and beautifully illustrated. last evening
The theme may seem thread-bare to
some. But the announcement of it was
sufficient to draw very large company
together. The attention given to the
speaker would indicate that men today
do not tire of this old story.
1t would be difficult to report Sucn an
address. Mr.. Taylor is a very suggestive
speaker. His aim is to inspire thought
and action in others. His great familiar
ity with his Bible gives him advantage.
He has no unkind word for any man.
He has no poisoned arrows to shoot. If
they are used they must come from the
ranks of the enemy. and his shield of
faith can quench them all.
The word of God is sufficient guide.
He proclaims this with undated earnest
ness To know that cit is written is
enough for him. Many passages will
shine with new light he turns them
about. He does not profess or care to
speak with the wisdom of the wise. His
great purpose is to have the mind and
spirit of the Master. He is helping
many to see their privilege and is guild
ing to a larger and broader conception of
the Christian life.
On Sunday morning he will speak on
1.-The Power of the Word" There will be
no meeting Saturday night. On Sunday
evening at o'clock. he'will speak again
and the ordinance of baptism will be adj
mnistered.

THE AUGUSTA TEACHERS
Listened To Paper by Professor George c.
Purin9ton

The Augusta Teachers Association
had the pleasure, Friday afternoon, of
listening to paper on Educational
IDEALS" by Principal George c. pur
ington of the Normal school at Farm.
ington. The speaker began by say
ing that no one could rise higher than
his ideals. He contrasted the ideals
and accomplishments of some of the
best schools in the past, with those Of
the present, showing the force of this
truth. Today, i is recognized that
the work of education is to develop the
whole man. and teachers must have
standards that will attain this result
They must be careful of the physical
well being of the child and see that the
conditions of the school are such as IN
improve and not retard healthful phys
zeal growth. The surroundings of =,
pupil have much to do with stimular
ing his mind. Pictures and other
works Of art not only make a school
room more attractive but are a DOW
erful aid in educating a child. Intel
lectual and moral education are closely
united and if moral purpose in teach
ing is kept in mind the results will be
greater than if the purpose be merely
unitarian. Honesty and thorough
ness are the first reurjramaptc -,
teaching. Pupils should be trained to
think and to know that the aim of
study is to find truth. Good citizen
ship is based on good fellowship, ard
the training of child for citizenship
can best be accomplished when it is
happy in its surroundings. and sus-
tains pleasant relations with it's teach
ers and fellow pupils

srAIe HOUSE MATTERS.
The West Wants Some Of Mains.s s,....
Tree Seeds.

several calls have been received at
TIE iand office from parties in tho
west asking for the seed of the Maine
spruce to plant in the Northwest Tb..
agent has referred them all to d;ffar
eht parties in the State. who are in y
position to get the seed.
This may lead to new industry for.
certain people in the State to furnish
spruce seed for the burned and c,earad
districts in the Northwest, where tho
second growth does not spring up $,
readily as in Maine. There is plenty
OF spruce in Maine to do quite a bust
ness in this line.
when the pulp business was started
in Maine, there was a general crv tina !.
1T would soon strip our forests of RI.
spruce trees, but good authority upon
such subjects, such as Governor Pow
ers and others, say that there is MOI
the least danger of such a calamity.
Spruce is wood that grows quickly.
ana when tract of timberland is cut
over clean,it is only cleaned in the wav
of all trees that measure above s inches
IN diameter at the base, so that in II
or IA years another cut can be made
over the same land. and so on. if

Interesting 10 the Geolosist.

To the geologist the east coast of
Florida is one of the most interesting
portions of the earth's surface In the
eyes of science it was but yesterday
when the surf beat on what is now the
western shore of the St Johns. t.
the eastward of this line the coral
built long bar, gradually this caught
the earth washed from the shore and
on this plants grew and then trees
This made of the St. Johns exactly
what Indian river is now. a long salt
water lagoon. AS the coast widened
and the coral worked the lagoon filled
in as Indian river is doing. and drain
age from both sides made it fresh
Still the coral is at work. and again
a long bar stretches southwark almost
continuous now from Cape Canaveral
to Key West. When all the inlets on
Indian river are closed but one it will
soon become a fresh water stream and
fill in with the remaining inlet for the
mouth of river Then the space be
tween the shore and the coral reef will
be another lagoon and another strip of
habitable land will arise out of the
ocean.
The accumulation of alluvial soil in
the valley of the upper St Johns is
full of the bones of marine monsters
and shell fishes-the substratum of
clay is still distinctly salt. Are there
monsters yet alive in the great marsh?
There are tales that would go to prove
it. In that tract of 81 miles in length
sometimes Is in breadth. without forest
growth. still a mixture of earth and
water--a wilderness of plants and
graSSeS-there is room for many
strange forms of life that man may
never see in our generation.-Jacks
