A FoRTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY

June 1918. 1864

- RANT opened the ball at Peters
burg with the desperate charge
of Badly" Smiths corps June
10. This was followed by
charges of the Second and Ninth corps
June 16 and II. In ten minutes on
June IS the First Maine heavy artil-
lery won immortal renown in one OF
the bravest as well as one of the most
hopeless charges of the war Tie regi-
ment went in alone and lost more men
than any other regiment in any single
engagement during the War The cir
cumstances were peculiar. The First
Maine belonged TO Hancock's corps
1.-THE Second), that had borne the brunt
of the hard fighting of the previous six
weeks in Grants Wilderness campaign,
including the battles of the Wilderness.
SpOttsylvania and Cold HarbOr, and
had lost in these conflicts over $4,000
killed and wounded out of total of
10000 engaged. At Petersburg on the
10th and 18th of June, the corps lost
heavily and on the 18th was ordered to
push forward where the COnfederates
had, as it transpired. planted their
last ditch
The point where the First Maine
charged was a salient built 10y General
COlquitt's troops, part of Beauregard's
defensive force, and known as Col
quits salient 1t was bare ridge
called Hare's hill and was in front of
the site of the Hare house. where
the Union Fort Stedman afterward
stood. A Union officer has said that
he did not believe another spot on
Gods green earth of equal size had
drunk up the blood of so many men
slain in battle as the field in front of
Hare's ridge.
Several attempts had already been
made by troops of the Second corps to
carry the salient, but Notwithstanding
the fact that repeated trials and fail
ures had reen noted ut army head
quarters word came to General Ger
shom Mott to try again with his Third
division. Mott protested to his supe-

sheer murder, repetition of the
slaughter of Cold Harbor. MY orders

gratifying to know that Jesus had so
large a number of men attached to
His cause who were competent for
such a commission. It is a gauge OF
growth in the kingdom.
Lesson | V.
The Apostle observed Jesus in the
act and attitude of prayer. In some
oratory of nature, perhaps, they saw

cessity of eternal vigilance. 1t re-
mains, however, for the Divine Teach
err, divesting the subject of quaint
fiction, to define the ethical principles
involved, and ground the necessity
upon moral basis. This Jesus does
when He reveals the truth that man
is Gods servant. What he has he
holds in trust for his Maker. He is
not an original, independent proprie-
tor. He holds nothing in fee-simple.
He is to occupy, use, and increase.
But an account of stewardship is ever
impending. This accounting-t time is
the assize of the soul. 1t is to be
kept always in view. One is to be
instantly ready for it.
Lesson VI.
The primary use of the para bic of
the Prodigal Son must not be lost
sight of in its evangelical and modern
applications. By it Jesus sought to
justify His kindly and familiar bear
ing towards publicans and sinners, at
which the Pharisees and scribes were
so outraged. He showed the veriest
renegade of Israel as still the object
of Divine compassion, his restoration
possible-a thing He earnestly sought.
In its universal, gospel application
this pearl of parallels pictures sin

emily Father, whose law is right and
just and good. Here is mirrored the
freedom of the will. The son has his
own way. He is not let or hindered,
except by the pleadings of love and
its faithful warnings. The folly of
SIN has no more startling exemplifi-
cation. True as startling; drawn to
life! How swift the "descensus Aver.
no." How soon the fool and his mon
ey are parted! How irrevocable the
last estate! Remedies. In the mire
with swine Who shall ever number
the sinners to whom this parable has
been the "open sesame to new
life? Blessed be the day in which it
was spoken! II will arise!n Father,
| have sinnedn" The Heavenly
Father meets the returning prodieal
in the way.
lesson VII.
This sad incident of James and
Johns ambitious request illustrates
wildly the small progress Jesus had
made in teaching them the new ideal
of life. Three years instruction
seemed to go for nothing. They
thought the kingdom" something
objective and material. They were
hungry for the spoils of office. With
infinite patience Jesus began to
teach the lesson all over the again,
and unfold the essential principles of
His kingdom. He could be charita-
BILE to His tardy disciples, for He was
founding a commonwealth, absolute
ly unique-the like of which the
world had never seen before-a king
dom of the heart, entirely subjective,
ethical, and spiritual. Well coul d
Jesus say, "Ye know not what We
ask" Within a month they saw
those coveted places at His right and
left hand occupied indeed, but by
crucified thieves Can you drink
of My cup?" So far from being able
to drink of the cup of His calamity,
they did not even dream, in spite of
all His teachings, that such a cup was
soon to be expressed to His lips. There
was no room for the cross in their
conception Of His kingdom. Again,

What He Thinks of Kansas.

George Schultheis, formerly a
book-keeper for the Producers
Torpedo company, but who has
been similarly employd at indie
pendence, Kan, for the past two
months and half, arrived here
yesterday. He has learned much
of the Kansas oil fields, and tells
of Marietta people who are in
that section of the country. All
went well for some time, and bus
mess in Kansas was booming.
Many good wells were struck and
also plenty of dry holes, the terri
tory being very uncertain. Pro-
duction was found at about TOO
feet, and in the Mississippi line,
at 100 feet. Business is quiet
now and has been for a month or
', six weeks. The torpedo compan-
les are doing practically nothing,
and the tool dressers, drillers and
others are idle. 1t is due to the
fact that he Standard Oil COM
pany cannot handle the oil pro-
duced. The law of Kansas is that
! all oil produced in the State must
be refined there. The Standard
is slow in erecting it's refneries
and maybe they have no desire
to hurry as it is said the concern
wants to freeze out the independ-
ent producers and get possession
of the territory itself.-Marietta

DEATH TRAP.
Two Men Drowned at Marietta
Dam.

Charles Moore, tank builder,
and James Thompson, a torpedo
factory employee, were drowned,
and John Kerr had a narrow es-
cape from like fate while fishing
below the Marietta Island dam on
Sunday morning. They were in
a skiff which was drawn into the
back lash caused by a broken
place in the dam, which allows
the water to rush through with
terrific speed. The boat was ov-
erturned and Moore and Thomp-
son were thrown some distance
away. Kerr kept hold of the
boat and after some time was
washed ashore. Eight men have
been drowned in the same place.
