as of old. Friendship is the morning and
evening star that never sets.
The order of knights Of Pythias was
organized In 1854 when Am erican society
was in chaotic state. 1t is OF distinct
" American origin. being organized at
the native capitol, Washington, ID. O. In
ancient times the knights were clothed
in armor and went forth to battle for
greatness and fame. As In dream,
said the speaker, a new star blazes In the
east and from the ashes OF blood and
tears, of ancient days, the dawn OF q
new day comes. With 1t one can see
families united, human associations and
friendships formed and all thought of
blood and war vanishes, as dominant
thought OF life. Today the true knight,
clad In his armor of truth goes forth to
battle for truth and the right. II there
fore you would be well prepared you must
be clothed with an armor of faith and
love. Be honest In business, and obey
the matchless laws of God. Do noble
things and work for the elevation and
needs OF mankind, as you are striving to
do in your order.
In conclusion would recommend the
friend ship of Jesus, which alone is the
kingd ON of heaven in the hearts of us
all.

HEARD ELIJAH KELLOGG.
Party From Portland Listen q
Venerable Preacher al HarpsweiI.

The steamer Corinna on its trip to
Harpswell yesterday was crowded to Its
utmost capacity, and about fifty people
were turned away on account Of lack OF
room. The steamer landed at Harpswell
Center where an opportunity of having
the venerable preacher, Rev. Elijah
kellogg, who preached q special sermon
for the occasion, for the accommodation
Of the steamer party, who went for the
purpose Of hearing Mr.. Kellogg.
Saturday afternoon the steamer Corin-
ma was chartered by Mrs. Fred Dudley Of
this city who entertained party Of
friends ON sail down the bay, landing
at simpsons point, where they enjoyed
the day.
The subject of Mr.. Kellogg's sermon
was the story OF the betrayal Of Jesus by
Judas Iscariot and its lesson. His text
was from Mathew XXI, verses go. The
sermon was plain clear statement OF the
facts. written in his inimitable style,
with well rounded sentences, which kept
the interest of his listeners to this end. He
gave a vivid picture Of the treachery and
baseness of Judas, and held the character
Of the betrayer up to scorn, as few preach
ers can. 1t was q treat for those who
heard him. He said the precious oint-
ment, poured by the woman on Jesus
head, cost forty dollars and seventy cents
and Judls betrayed him for eighteen
dollars. The love Of money was the mo-
tive which he characterized as the
''meanset Of human affections. At the
conclusion of his sermon he said that If
the light had been as good at the begin
ming as 1t was then, he could have read
the sermon as well as he could at twenty
one, and added that If they came to hear
an old man they must stand the conse-
auences. He then said sit was old age
not my fault" After the sermon many
went forward to thank him and to speak
a kind word to, as one said, "the dear
old man."
The old church and cemetery were Wis
tied and many called upon Miss Eaton
and Mrs. Randall who kindly exhibited
relics of the former ministers Of the
church, the two Rev. Mr.. Eatons, father
and son, which kindness was appreciated.
1t was day proftably spent and there is
reason to believe that 1t was enjoyed by
him who is so well and favorably known,
the country over, by the old and young
boys who have read his many interesting
books. He is wonderful man at eighty
seven.

leadership of ths great martyr OF ancient
days, David, and OF his strong attach
ment and friendship for Jonathan of the
army of the Phillistinss. II the story of
Jonathan and David filled the world
with love, no less has the story of Damon
and Pythias made Flea for the strongest
ties of friendship and love. Mr.. Town
send related the story of Damon and Py-
thias In a vivid manner and alluded to
the strong friendship OF Pythias who
became a hostage for Damon, the senator
of ancient days, who had been condemned
by the king to die. Damon had been al
lowed brief respite that he might go to
his home and say farewell, while Pythias
remained to suffer In the event that
Damon did not return.
At the time for the execution Damon
had not returned, and Pythias assembled
to the scaffold to meet the death of Da-
mon. At the last moment Damon APP
peared and proved true to his word, ready
to suffer his own sentence.
Friendship Is not thing Of ancient

love. Examples Of heroism are with us

Great Northern Improvements.

Engineer Peter Hervin of the. Great
Northern has two parties of engineers
at work on the St. Cloud & Willmar
branch of the Great Northern putting
up cross section stakes for reducing the
grades of that branch. The stakes
are being driven now and arrange
ments are being made with the view to
beginning the work of improving the
line just as soon as the frost has left
the ground. The lar gely increased
business, from the southwest to the
head of the lakes means that the Will
mar line will be made to submit to the
heaviest kind of freight traffic and
there is a report Of a passenger train
being put on from Sioux City, Iowa,
to the lake ports. 1t is to better and
more cheaply to handle this business
that the improvements will be insti-
tuted. The work of laying the new
~ pound rails on the st. Cloud and
Willmar line was just completed only
month ago, and the work that will
be inaugurated this spring will be a
reduction Of all the grades on the line
to q four-tenths grade, and the track
will be ballasted and surfaced to the
highest degree that gravel and expert
enced supery yision will permit t IS
expected that two steam shovels and
accompanying train crews will be kept
