Ell from the whole world to do the work for
their State, or country. What we need now
is not man for a city, State or even a
nation, but world man. If We have the
true religion we have the power that shall
move the world. This is an age of indus
try. Great problems are t. be met in the
immense fortunes of a few and in the trusts.
But great as are the industrial problems,
true religion is strong enough to meet them.
Christianity is to meet and solve all these
problems They will be solved by charac
ter, built up by true Christianity. The OBJ
ject of Christianity is to make nobler and
better men and women. We are not here to
accumulate wealth, but to acquire charac-
ter We are losing our belief in the super
natural, God is ever present with us Mr..
Wilson closed by expressing the hope that
newer and wider Christianity shall be
with the people in their new relation with
the pastor.
After the close of the public exercises a
reception was held in the church parlors,
which were very handsomely decorated
with festoons of oak leaves, banked flowers,
lace curtains, etc. Two hours We're very
pleasantly spent in congratulations and gen
eral good fellowship. Ice cream and cake
were served.
Mr.. Lutz is a graduate of Waynesburg
college and of the Meadville Pa, theolog-
ical school. He began his work as pastor
in Belfast last January, coming here from
Rockland, Mass, where he had been pastor
for eleven years.
The decorations of the church were much
admired. The pulpit was covered with
white, banked with poppies and sweet peas.
An arch of green, with Baltimore Belle and
other roses spanned the alcove behind the
pulpit and a wreath of 1000 panses was sus-
pended from the centre. Festoons of oak
leaves extended to the galleries on each side
and across the windows. The vestibule
was also very neatly trimmed. The decor
! ating committee consisted of Mrs. J. W

The Belfasts went to Wateryille Saturday
accompanied by an excursion party of more
than 200 people, and the Watervilles tied
the games between them by defeating our
boys by score of II to 3. Each has now
won two games from the other Miller,
who pitched for Belfast, was not able to
keep up the record he made in the previous
game and was batted hard, the Watervilles
getting Is safe hits. Goode had his nose
broken in practice before the game, but was
able to play innings, after which Colcord
took his place. There were many unSatisfac-
tory features about the game, and Water
vile correspondents roasted Belfast hard in
their accounts, but we have the satisfaction
of knowing that disintereSted spectators
from Fairfield and Skowhegan sided with
the Belfast men. The most charitable view
is that the umpire had an otf-day and that
something blinded his eyes SO that he could
not properly judge of balls and strikes.
