A SUSTAINING DIET.-These are the
enervating days, when, as somebody has
said, men drop by the sunstrOke as IL the
Day of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger to people whose sys-
TENS are poorly sustained; and this leads
US to say, in the interest of the less ro-
bust Of our readers. that the full effect OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest
the propriety Of calling this medicine
something besides blood purifier and
tonic-say, sustaining diet. It makes

refreshing sleep, and will without any

yielding up large amount of treasure

daughter in marriage to Balboa, who
had wife already in Spain, and good
ness knows how many others in the
New World. The story of the next few
years is full of interest, but we have
not space to relate it. The always cruel
and greedy SpaniarGs captured many
rich villages and grew rich beyond COM

the only way to save his precious head
from his old enemy on the charge of
treason would be to accomplish some
great thing for the glory of Spain.
| From his Indian father-in-law he had
heard tales of another great sea beyond

the people were so rich that they ate
from plates of gold. With all his follow

to find that sea on the first day of Sep

visible. Determined to have the first
glimpse of it himself Balboa ordered a

EARLY BAPTIST CHURCH IN WALDO.

To The EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
have in my collection of papers some
historical data regarding an early Bap-
tlst church in the town of Waldo, then
known as the Three Mile Square Settle
ment, and which may be of interest to
the people of that town and the readers
of The Journal.
In the records of the first Baptist
church of Montville, which is also ex-
tinct, find this entry: January 9th
1920, received letter from Baptist
brethren in Three Mile Square Settle
ment (so-called) requesting US to send
assistance to them in order to erect a
church on the twentieth of the present
month. In compliance with their re-
quest we voted to send our pastor, Elder
Job Cushman, Thomas Randall. and
Joseph Chandler to be our delegates"
That church was organized January
20, 1920, and consisted of twelve men,
bers, who held their meetings in
dwelling houses.
L
this little township derived it's name.
1t is we'll known that General Samuel
Waldo of Boston owned much of the
land now comprising the County of
Waldo. In 1859 General Waldo died,
and this Three Mile Square tract of
land was taken on execution by Sarah
Waldo, who was appointed admins
tratrix of the estate of Samuel Waldo
of Falmouth, also deceased. This
settlement was organized as Waldo
Plantation July 6, 1921, and consisted
only Of the Three Miles Square. 1t was
enlarged by land from Swanville in 1924
and by a gore lying between Waldo
Plantation and Knox in 1886. 1t was
incorporated into town March II, 1s45
This feeble church struggled along |
under many difficulties through the un-
tiring efforts of Deacon Gurney. They |
had no meeting house, for many years
holding meetings in dwelling houses |
and for time in the school house. Op-
posing influence operated against them
and they again returned to their former
places of worship. The minutes of the
Waldo Association at that time show
an increase of membership to 80, but |
soon after it went out of existence as a |
church. ALLEN GOODWIN.
