HsLENA. ARKASsAs, Oct. 9TH, 80.
Special TO the Planet:
Rev. w. +. Graham Of Richmond
Va, has been spending part Of his
vacation in East Arkansas, his old
nome. at Helena he has been reeeiv-
ed with enthusiastic pleasure. Cen
tenRial Baptist pulpit was occupied
by him last Sunday morning and night.
The morning sermon was = rare treat,
the subject being The Goal OF the
Christian Race" text Hebrews II :1-2.
After portraying most vIvidly the an
cient Olympic races from which Paul
drew his great comparison, the speaker
exhorted the Christians so think On
the importance of the contest in which
they weEc engaged. They should lay
aside all sinful weights aud run the
race with patience. All eyes should
be fixed op Jesus who sits at the right
hand Of the Father.
THE RACE AND HAPPINESS.
This race must be happy, the run
Ders must be enduring Not for q day,
not for . month, not for q year,
but as lonY as life lasts, this
race must be kept up. Said he, "ro-
day there are so macy people in the
church who will not give the whole OF
sunday TO the Bervice OF the Lord, will
not attend every service OF the church, J.,
because thsy have themselves deluded
as to the Christians duty on the race
course.
on, l can't always be in church;
want some pleasure is the plea of
thousands Of young Christians to-day.
No time for resting" he showed thast
the Christians had pleasure in God a
house. Not only are Christians COM
passed about" bv earthly witnesses,
bat the souls OF the departed saints and
loved ones are looking On to see wheth-
er or not the race is we'll run. This
should give impetus to make better
showing in the Christian race.
Evening services as we'll as morning
services were very largely attended,
and the discourse at this time was not
lacking in any essential of well deliv-
sred, revivIng sermon.

Kennebec Steamboat News.

In view Of the prevailing open wealth
cr the Kennebec & Boston Steamboat
60. would have had no difficulty in
Keeping their line in operation had they
50 desired. during the present week. 1t
is claimed, however, that il is not wise
to keep steamer running after there
is danger OF a freeze on the river, as
freight might be accepted in Boston
which could not be brought up the
river, and the company would be-
obliged to pay freight On it BY rail To
its destination. The Sagadahoc. which
has been on the ways at Boston re-
ceiving new boilers. will run to the
Kennebec within few days and the
Boston management is after cargo of
freight to bring to Bath 50 she will not
have to come down empty. 1t is said
that the steamer krnnebec will remain
on the Providence Line several weeks.
A stakeholder, in considering the sub
ject of the proposed new boat for the
Kennebec x Boston Line was emphatic
in his opinion that she should be a sea-
going craft in all respects. one capable
OF weathering any storm. He would
discard the river boat pattern. which
is now followed in the steamers plying
between Maine and Massachusetts
ports, and substitute the regular model
for the open sea. cutting down the
size of the superstructure. He notes
that the gulf Of Maine is one of tho
most stormy seas on the earth's sur
face. and thinks that every steame
added To the fleet should be able t.
navigate the sea in all weathers.-LeW-

my building in order that the plan may
be carried out
The gentlemen interested in the new
plan are some who have financial stand
ing that is of the best. among them be-
ing Hon. John F. Hill. Hon p. o. Wick
cry and Hon. George +. Macomber. the
three gentlemen who own so much real
estate about Augusta under the firm
name of the Augusta Real Estate Asso
citation.
DR.. Hill in speaking of the matter TO
the Journal said thai nothing had been
done definitely, though 1t was true that
he had conversed WITH General HAYNES
and had suggested That possibly if the
building could be pure based at a reason
able figure, a company in which he would
include himself might buy /; and CON
struct an opera house.
Hon G. +. MacDmber, though he said
nothing had been done. had thought the
matter exceedingly plaust |. and believed
in it, if a satisfactory Arrangement could
be brought about.
Another plan Of securing the much
wanted opera house has been discussed
for a few days past in u small way until
Saturday. ii was heard to 4 great extent.
1t is that of forming stock company and
constructing an opera house building To
cost about $4,000 on lot south Of the
Augusta Steam Laundry. Here IS room
for a large opera house and il can be Oh
tanned. SO Purnton Brothers. the origi-
majors of the idea, say.
The plan in the first place was suggest
ed by c. +. Purinton in a casual manner
1 he q N, h., .
constructing a large building south Of
their present block for the plIrpose Of
using il Tor their wood business. There
would be all the room they could use in
the deep basement of such a building. He
suggested that an opera house would be
the proper thing t. 60 on top Of this. The
entrance would lead in on the ground
Moor, the house to be Of sufficient height
for such a purpose, Of steel roof plain
though pretty. clean and comfortable in
terror finish, To be constructed on the
plan Of perfect ventilation. fire proof, ana
for nothing bu, an opera house.
This idea grew to be something more
than mere plan, for WITHIN the next few
days MIR. Purinton received calls from
many OF Augustus business men Offering
to take stock in such Il company. and al
ready promises for nearly one-half Of the
amount suggested have been made. To-
grthcr with this is promised ala III secur
ing the rest. Some III those Interested he
li,vc that they could raise the amount in
a very short time.
With the plan taken 50 seriously by the |
people, Mr.. Purinton and his friends are |
beginning to think seriously Of it.
