in praise Of the good times they had III

1t is also instructive. because 1T proves

Rev. c. G. Mosher preached his first
sermon at the Free Baptist church,
Sunday morning. before a large audi
ence. Mr.. Mosher took his text from
Acts, xix: 30. so mighty grew the word
of God and prevailed" The discourse
was very interesting and forcefully de-
livered. The central idea was the su-
preme importance of the church over
all other orga niZations, and without
disparaGing the good that other organ
izations do socially and otherwise. he
laid particular stress upon the neces-
sity of the church and the need of
bringing all to it. Mr.. MOsher was very
cordially received. and from his re-
marks of yesterday gave very strong
impression of ability as a preacher.
Mr.. Mosher comes here from Bangor,
where he was pastor of the Free Bap-
fist church for seven years. While
there he was held in high regard by all
who knew him.

The volume of water coming over
the Kcnnebec dam in this city has been
varying TO Il considerable extent dur
ing the past few weeks. and the cause
has been uncxplainable to those who
have noticed the unusual rise and faH
that has occurred at intervals. Some
times a rise of - inches would be no
iced. which is an extraordinary event,
considering that no rain of any amount
has fallen. Ernest w. Elwell, the YARD
foreman at the Edwards Co, has now
discovered the cause of the periodical
rise Of water. He says that new
dam is being built at Indian pond, 1T
the headwaters of the kennebec river.
A Golfer dam is in use and when TINS
gets filed "a sluiceway is opened and
the water is allowed to run away Thls
water comes down the river in vast
volumes and when it arrives here the
Indicator on the dam goes up with
great rapidty. Mr. Elwell says that
in his 10 years experience in charge
at the dam he never knew an instance
of this kind and naturally he was
anxious to ascertain the cause. Now
that he has done SO the information
is given to the public.
