THE GREAT rIEDIcINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular citizen, Says:
After the Use OF Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best OF Health"

The greatest OF modern physicians, Prof.
5dward Z. Phelps, NJ. d., IL. D., after years
4 long practice and close scientific study, gave
suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
onvieiion and positive knowledge that it had
secular virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands OF the strongest testimonials from
he best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully Sustain the claims
made by Df. Phelps regarding his incompar.
,ble Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
,omes recently from a gentleman widely
,nown in the capital city OF the Dominion Of
'anada. We reier to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81

1t proves, too, that the great medicine main.
aims more fully than ever before It's unryaled
place in the estimation OF people OF wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.


copic For the Week Beginning May
24-Comment by Rev. $. IL. Doyle.
Topic.-Power and prayer.--Acts i. 10,
"a; II, Id. Il.
That there is an intimate relation
between power and prayer cannot for
q single moment be doubted or denied.
The arm that moves the world is the
arm of God. and the human agency
that reaches the arm of God is prayer.
@Ask and We shall receive. seek and ye
shall find, knock and it shall be opened
unto You" Thus we have Gods en-
phatic promise through His Son that
he viii answer prayer, and prayer
thus becomes the means of our obtain
Ing powe% from God.
The topical references in a striking
manner illustrate the relation of power
and prayer. Ia them we see the cause
and the effect. Like links in a chain
of consequences, they follow each other
until the results are manifest They
begin with prayer and end with power.
.aThe 1.-THE apostles and the womenl
all continued with one accord in prayer
and 8upplica ton" praying undoubted-
ly fer the Haly Ghost, who had been
promised. And as n result Of their
prayers, "when the d2y Of Pentecost
was fully come, they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost" Peter IN
der the power Of the Holy Spirit preach
ed to the people, and then they that
gladly received his word were bap-
tized, ana the same day there were
added unto them about 5000 souls"
Thus we have the story of the great
Pentecostal revival: First, prayer; sec
ond the Holy Ghost as a result of pray
er; third. 5000 conversions as a result
Of the presence and power of the Holy
Ghost.
Power and prayer go together in our
personal lives. If as individuals we
want spiritual horsepower with God,
power with ourselves and power with
others - 1t must be obtained at the
throne of grace. Prayer was the secret
Of Jacobs power. Persistent and ear
nest In prayer. he would not let the an
gel of the Lord go without his blessing
and received the name of Israel, for
as q prince thou hast power with God
and hast prevailed" Prayer was the
secret of Elijah's power. By believing
prayer he controlled the very elements,
causing the rain to be sent or TO be de-
aayed The Master Himself spent much
time in prayer and especially when un-
usual manifestations of His power
were desired. The throne of grace is
our source of strength. If we would
grow in grace, increase in power to re-
sist temptation and be of personal eff
s1cient service for Christ, we must
spend much time in prayer.
Prayer and power are also associated
In our church life. 1t was the church
chat prayed and received the Holy
Ghost and power. The church's power
today comes from the same source and
In the same way. at is not by might
NOR by power, but by My Spirit, saith
the Lord of Hosts" And Gods spirit,
as on Pentecost, comes in answer to
united, earnest prayer.

WINTER HARBoR.

tries New Town Hall.
Winter Harbor is one OF the thriving
towns OF the southeastern section OF
Hancock county. 1t was formerly part
OF the town OF Gouldsboro, but few
years ago it started out on its own hook
as a separate municipality.
SuppIementing the year round business
OF the village proper is the summer re-
sort business done at Grindstone Neck.
As to this place, IL one wants to know
more in detail about it, a request TO Bed
ford e. Tracy for brochure wi bring
batch OF facts and illustrations of this
smart resort.
Winter Harbor is historically old, but
to the casual reader il msy be said that 1t
Is now very active, and quite distribute
ing point for a number OF smaller villages.
The Industries are fishing aud catering
to the summer patronage. stage-li
goes once a day overland, connecting with
the eastern stage route at West Goulds-
bore; another outlet is by steamboat to
Bar IIarbor.
II scheels aud teachers rank high, and
the coming generation shows be merit o.
the foresight OF tbe t41-p payers and par
ents.
The road business Is large factor in
the place, as from necessity the business
/ and summer patronage demand good
roads. The town has on excellent water
service from April TO October, and prob.
I sf fe !car.rau otA Ia
attractions fer summer sojourners are
among the best.
While Winter Harbor is not overrun
with lodges or churches, it is far from
without any. The Masons and Order Of
! the Eastern Star are at present without
| an established lodge home, having lost
their belongings when fire swept a fine
| block last summer, but construction work
is now going on for a block worth five
times the value OF the former one, and
when this is finished The old lodges, and
perhaps new ones, will enjoy as fine quar-
tiers as may be found anywhere in eastern
| Maine.
The year-round hotel is now closed for
want OF landlord, but the travelling
public find the residence OF l. b. Foss,
town treasurer, a comfortable stopping
place.
The town officers for the present year
are: F. E. Weston, James NJ. Gerrish,
Jesse f. Smallidge, selectmep; Joseph NJ /.
| Gerrish, town clerk; Ira B. Foss, collector
and treasurer; L. c. Hammond and E. w.
Written, road commissioners.
The school system is under the direct
supervision OF II. j. Tracy, superintend-
emit, and a competent school board.
DIR. and Mrs. A. L. Small are actively
identified with the grange lately insti-
tuted here. Its twenty-eight charter
members are full of hustle and good fell
lowship, aud this order, which is gaining
such headwsy In Maine, will do It's best
to prove q worthy one.
The town has lately been the recipient
OF piece OF land on which to build q
town hail, generously donated by Mr..
Hammond, OF Boston, who takes this
means of showing his good will toward
his native town.
The lumber is now on the spot or In
transit, and as soon as the mason work Is
completed the superstructure will be
pushed to completion.

sous court.
As to "worldly goods" as some Of
the new religionists call wealth, l was
very comfortably off. having inherited
from my father, one Of the counselors
OF Henry VII, very competent for
ftune indeed. How my worthy father
acontrived to save, from the greedy
ihand of that rich old miser so great a
fortune I am sure I cannot tell. He
was the only man Of my knowledge
who did it, for the old king had reach
as long as the kingdom, and, upon one
~pretext or another, appropriated to
himself everything on which he could
slay his hands. Ny father, however,
swas himself pretty shrewd in money
matters, having inherited along with
his fortune rare knack at keeping it.
His father was goldsmith in the time
Of King Edward and enjoyed the mark
ed favor Of that puissant prince.
Being thus in q position Of afauence,
I cared nothing for the fact that little
i.or no emolument went with the Office.
