Charles H. Wastes Buildings Burned.

Charles n. Wastes Buildings Burned.
A little before 4 o'clock Wednesday
morning our people we're awakened
by the cry of fire, and the flames were
then shooting 40 feet into the air
from the. barn of Charles H. Waste.
The heat and smoke were so dense
that nothing could be saved from the
barn, even the pet family horse, car
riages and hens fed the destroying
flames. The barn was Joined to the
ell of the house, so that all the build
ings were burned. Some of the fur
niture and clothing was saved. We
have not learned the cause of the
fire, and understand there was no in
surance on the personal property but
there was an insurance of 500 on the
buildings. 1t was a remarkably quiet
morning or the loss to our village
would have been very much greater.
The buildings of E. L. Fuller on one
side and S. G. Eaton on the other were
so and "a feet distant respectively.
The damage to these places was slight
| as the men and women, too, worked
we'll to save them. Mr.. Eaton was not
at home and Mrs. Eaton found herself
completely overcome as soon as the
| buildings we're down.

A. A. Smith on Theology in Life" or
do the evangelical churches of New
England generally maintain that their
members must posses a Christ-like char
acter here on earth to have a ration Of
hope of entering heaven" The sermon
was very carefully prepared and ably
presented in all its points, and ought to
be PREACHED in every church and heard
by every person in the land. The great
sin of hypocrisy was very clearly pointed
out, and instances were given of its
practice by some prominent in church
and society towards others, especially
toward those of less means than them
selves, showing the shallowness of the
mere profession without the real spirit
of Christ in every transaction and act
of life. The question what are my rela-
lions to myself, my brother and God was
brought up. Character was spoken of
as a distinguishing feature. Mention was
made of the devotion of the Catholic
church. The lack of the church in its
influence in reaching out was shown.

An Exclamation.

The Phoenix has always been gener-
Gus in giving its space to affairs re-
lating to Leland & Gray seminary, be
lieving that the institution is a great
factor for good in the life of Town
shend and Windham county. a year
ago the long account of commence
ment was received on the Thursday
following the week in which the eX-
ercises were held. This caused great
inconvenience and late night work
for a part of the force of The Phoenix
office, the matter being put in type
less than "a hours before the time of
publication. In order to prevent a re-
currence of the inconvenience, a letter
was sent Saturday to Principal Edge
comb, asking that the account this
year be sent to this office on Monday
when it could be handled easily. No
reply was received from him, until this
Thursday, morning, when copy for an
article of more than a column in
length was received. The delay ac-
counts for the incompleteness of the
report in this issue, the existing con
ditions compelling a condensation of
the excellent account which was re-
ceived too late.-lW. E. H., managing
editor.
