A Simple Question.
Ellsworth People are Requested TO
Honestly Answer This.

Is not the word of representative clti-
zen OF Ellsworth more convincing than
the doubtful utterances OF people living
everywhere else in the union. Read this:
Mr.. John Drake, OF Chapel St., an en-
gineer for 30 odd years, and for Ii of them
employed at Halls mill running the en-
CINE, says: ~ had dull aching across
the loins now and then, but / paid little
attention to it, as the attacks usually
passed off. Two years ago the trouble got
worse, the aching more severe and OF
longer duration. About this time urin-
airy trouble set in and developed into
something serious, the secretions being
scalding and at night annoying, breaking
my sleep five or six times. / took remedies
for the complaint but they had no effect,
and as had read of Doan's Kidney Pills
and knew of several people who had used
them and claimed they were good, got
box at Virgins drug store. hoping they
would do as well for me as they had for
others. l continued the treatment until
was well, the aching ceased and the urln-
airy trouble was corrected"

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.

Hopic For the Week Beginning Sept.
a. 1-Comment by Rev. 8. III. Doyle.
IoP1c.--Spirituai acquaintanee.-Job xii, 2l-23.
The three friends of Job, the afflicted
patriarch-Eliphaz, Bildad and 70
phar--went upon the false assumption
chat the affections of Job had come
upon him as a result of some grievous
sin against God This was the Jewish
conception of affection. 1t was ex-
pressed in their question to Christ,
'sWho did sin that this man was born
blindT" Going on this assumption.
they appealed to Job to acknowledge
his sin, to repent Of it and to return
unto God, and assured him Of Gods
forgiveness and favor. This is the
spirit of the appeal of Eliphaz in the
topical reference. He says to Job, "Ac-
quaint now myself with Him" with
God, and shows him how to acquaint
himself with God and the results OF
doing so.
The exhortation of Eliphaz to JOB
to acquaint himself with God is one
that may be applied to us all. The
man who does not know God should
certainly seek His acquaintance. Those
who know God best do not know Him
so well but what they could become
better acquainted with Him. God Is
our Father, and children should learn
to know and to love their parents. God
is our friend, and the beauty and bless
ing OF friendship lie in acquaintance
ship. To know true friend is to make
his friendship valuable and appreci-
able. Acquaintance with God includes
acquaintance with all that is Gods. 1t
embraces all that is contained in the
spiritual realm of life and may be
looked upon as spiritual acquaintance.
Looking upon Job as sinner, sepa-
rated from God by sin, Eliphaz sets
forth how such one may have ac-
quaintance with God. a. Gods law
must be received and laid up in the
heart. Receive, pray thee, the law
from His mouth and lay up His words
In thy heart" No one can know God
without accepting and applying His
revelation of Himself. (2) Sin must be
repented of and return made to God.
eff thou wilt return to the Almighty,
thou shalt be built up" The sin that
makes acquaintance with God impossi-
BILE must be repented of. The sinner
must turn from sin unto God. 90 To
day we know God best through His
Son, Jesus Christ. Through Him we
gain an acquaintance that can be OBJ
tanned in go other way.
The benefits of spiritual acquaint-
ance are many. Eliphaz suggests two
peace and prosperity. "Acquaint
now thyself with Him and be at peace,
thereby good shall come unto thee"
Acquaintance with God brings peace
peace with oneself, peace with the
world and peace with God Himself.
Prosperity follows peace, for when at
peace with God we are always content,
and contentment is the best kind Of
prosperity.

'"There is only one way, after all, to re-
form the world; not by learning to howl
at its faults nor to bark at its mistakes,
but by first beginning the work of refor-
nation with ourselves. We come back in
evitably to the old truth SO often stated:
in order to make the best of Others, we
must first make the best of ourself."
..You have broken your promise,
johnny, said grandmother impressively
to the small culprit who stood before her.
"You said you would not go out of the
yard, and / trusted you, but you have
broken your promise". Johnny studied
the toes of his little straying feet for a
moment and then looked up with asudden,
bright thought. "Never mind il tits
broken, grandmother he said consolingly,
u can make another just as good".
Grandmother opened her lips to speak,
then closed them again and went into the
house musing on the subject Of easily
made promises and what they were
worth. AUNT MADGE.

Only day at time. There may never be a
tomorrow.
Only day at time, and that we can live we
know,
The trouble we cannot bear Is only the trouble
we borrow,
And the trials that never come are the ones that
fret US SO.
Only a step at time. 1t may be the angels bend
DER us
To bear us above the stones that wound our feet
by the way;
The step that is hardest of all is not the one
just before us,
And the path we dread the most may be
smoothed another day.

The Same Williams.

'Now, sir", began the attorney for the
defense, knitting his brows and preparing
to annihilate the witness whom he was
about to cross examine, "you say your
name is Williams. Can you prove that
to be your real name? Is there anybody
in the court room who can swear that you
haven't assumed 1t for the purpose of
fraud and deceit?"
"Ithink you can identify me yourself
answered the witness.
81 Where did | ever see you before,
my friend?"
81 put that scar over your right eye
twenty-five years ago when you were
stealing peaches out OF my fathers
orchard. Pm the same Williams.
Ifyou would be happy you must learn
to live day at time.

Dear Aunt Madge:
/ have peeped into your coy corner
every week and fairly longed to take part
in the discussions, but gardening, sun
shine letters and entertaining visitors have
shut me out OF the M. b. circle. Like
many others, | miss the ever ready pen
thoughts of our little "Flossie", and hope
that she will soon come back restored to
health, to chat again in her cherry way.
aunt Dorcas", that birthday letter was
received and was one among many to cheer
and brighten burdened heart, but why
withhold your name? Had there been
even postmark visible, you should have
had note OF thanks. My flowers are
blooming beautifully in spite of the early
drouth. The poor, thirsty things got their
daily drink at the expense of many back
aches, for il took from twenty five to
thirty pailfuls to satisfy their demands.
/ do wish l could send every NJ. B. sister
big bouquet, Shall we have time and
opportunity in the bright hereafter, do you
think, to carry out our many good inten-
tions? Such is the hope of your dilatory
JANET.
We shall all take pleasure in reading one
of Janet's good letters as well as the poem
and prose article printed above, both of
which were her selections. You are one of
the busy women whose heart prompts
and mind suggests kind and loving re-
membrance of others, while time is not
adequate to the friendly deeds you would
like to perform. am pondering overS he
question at the close of your letter. In
the school readers score OF years ago
there was poetic dialogue and one coupIet
was this:
Eternity, what art thou? Say.
Time past, time present; time to come; to day..
Some way, your query brought those
lines to my remem branee. To those whose
highest aspirations are never realized here,
there is always, or almost always, the
comfort given OF the hope of time and
opportunity beyond. From whence comes
this thought OF comfort? So many am
billions are never reached; but the longing
to help others, to attain to the best in this
life because it is the best, the purest, the
noblest, surely there is recompense for de-
sires like these.
Now l want to tell our far-away Western
friend, formerly of Bar Hsrbor, little
incident. / was enjoying picnic one day
this week, and with group of friends
was comfortably located at the dinner
hour. The green branches were slowly
waving overhead, and through their occa-
sionai openings the bits of deep blue sky
revealed the clear heavens above, but we
were intent on nearer scenes, peering into
lunch baskets and boxes for refreshments
for the inner man. My next neighbor at
the right drew a misunderstanding cake
from her basket, and asked: .Have you
tried that recipe for Golden Loaf cake in
the M. B. column? 1t was sent by the
lady who used to live at Bar Harbor'
l had not tried it, but after eating one,
tw- we'll, never mind, the cake was as
nice as 1t looked, and said must look
that recipe up. The lady little below at
my left was Interested, too, and / wanted
to tell how you were remembered at one
down east" picnic.

LAKE VESSELS WRECKED
SIX VESSELS ARE DRIVEN ASHORE
NEAR PORT HURON.
Crews of Four Are Rescued. but Those
of Two Are still AbOard-StOrm
and Smoke the Cause.

PORT HURON, Mich, Sept S.-To-night
witnesses the result of one of the worst dis
asters on Lake Huron, owing to the severe
gale which has been blowing for twenty
thousand dollars worth of vessel property
and the chances for getting them off are
slim unless many thousand dollars are ex-
pended in dredging.
Strange to say, in connection with this
great calamity there is no loss of life. The
life-saving crew took off thirty-eight peo-
pie during last night and the others were
beyond danger. The barge Amaranth
owned by Captain Kotcher, of Detroit, is a
total loss. She was loaded with lath, as
was also the steamer Pauley. Their car
goes are strewn all along the shore. Ever
since last night the Wawatam has been en-
deavoring to release herself and al o'clock
tonight she succeeded in getting out into
the lake. The tug Sarnia, which went out
TO the assistance of the wrecked boats is
pounding on the bottom, deserted by her
crew. but will be saved. Captain Plough
of the life-saving crew, came ashore at 6
p. m. with eight men and reported no loss
of life but stated that il is the worst wreck
that he has witnessed in years.
Heroic efforts will be made tomorrow to
save all boats with the exception of the
Amaranth from destruction. Marine men
pronounce the scene one of the most re-
markable known without loss of life.
