AT THE CHURCH
OF THE ADVENT
Bishop Johnston breaches Two Sermons
and Administers Confirmation.

Although the inclemency OF The
weather yesterday prevented many
from coming out, yet both morning
and evening services at the Church
of the Advent were we'll attended
The sermons at each service by
Rev. Bishop Johnston were listened
TO with much interest, both being
able and eloquent addresses render
ed in his usual forcible style.
A very interesting confirmation
ceremony was held at the evening
service. The rector, Rev. r. II.
Woodward, presented a class OF
sixteen candidates to the bishop TO
receive the Apostolic rite of laying
on of hands. They were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Hinkley, Misses Josephine
and Beatrice Hooks, Gladys Rent
fro, Gertrude Scrivner, Lupe Flor
es, Mamie Smith, Ida Smith, Mary
Thorsell, Louisa Kozle, Pearl Els
tun, Messrs. Arthur Bates, B. c..
Stegman, A. B. Cole, George H.
Smith.
After the confirmation the bishop
gave a very practical and helpful
address. In the course of his re-
marks he drew attention to the
fact that confirmation had nothing
to do with joining the church, as
many people supposed, but that it
was a service first used by the
apostles of Samaria and continued
without interruption by the church
fromsthat day to this, for the pur-
pose of seeking the gift of the holy
spirit according to the promise
of the Christ. He also referred TO
the fact that the advent of the rail-
road would probably bring into the
community a spirit of denomina-
tional competition, and warned the
congregation, against the sin and
danger of indulging in unfriendly
rivalry and controversy. The
church has been here for more than
half a century, he pointed out,
holding up the standard of Jesus
Christ, and endeayoring to estab-
lish His kingdom of righteous
ness among men. If there was any
of that work that the old mother
was unable to do, we should be
glad if others would undertake it,
or if they have any methods that
are better than the methods that
the church has used for nineteen
centuries, by all means we should
give them welcome and wish them
God speed.
The mission of Christianity, the
bishop continued, is to save the
soul from the power of sin in this
world, rather than from the penal
ty of sin in the other world, and
the church that comes nearest to
accomplishing this result is the
church that will receive the Divine
blessing.
The music at both services was
Of unusual excellence.

BEWARE THE REGISTER DUST

Have the furnace fiues been cleaned
this autumn? Have the registers been
examined and secured? Have all the
accumulations of dust been removed?
If these precautions have not been
taken there is danger that sickness
may closely follow the starting of fires
in houses heated by the direct iot-air
system. This is an annual warning.
and it is necessary to repeat it now.
The dust of many months has fallen
or been blown into the registers and
lies there and in the flues waiting for
the first rise of the heat to bring it
forth into the living rooms. This dust
contains disease elements, chiefly dis
eases of the respiratory organs. 1t is
very common to find half a family suf-
fering from "cold" soon after the fire
has been started in the furnace. This
affection is attributed to the change in
temperature, or perhaps to the over
heating of the rooms, but it is far more
likely to have resulted from the inhala-
ton of the. dust from the pipes
If it is impossible to clean the flues
and registers, an excellent plan is to
start the furnace at brisk pace and
then throw open all the WINDOWS and
doors for few hours. Waste the heat
regardless of the coal cost. II is better
to burn few pounds Of coal thus use
lessly than to spend many times the
cost in doctors bills aud lost wages, to
say nothing of the suffering.
There is nothing more harmful to
the health than dust accumulated from
all sources and blown directly into the
living rooms of a house, and there in
hailed by all the occupants. This dust
has come from the carpets, to which it
has been borne from the streets, by the
shoes. 1t has blown in through win
dows and doors all summer. Even the
most careful housekeeper cannot pre-
vent the invasion, and unless the hot
air tiues and registers are tightly cover
ed so that the dust cannot enter them
it is certain that autumn will find these
recesses we'll lined with fine particles.
So be wise in time and have the flues
and registers cleaned, or else let the
first heat pass out of the open windows.
This may save dangerous cases of sick

DEATH OF GEORGE c. SHELDON.

The many friends of George C. Shell
don were grieyed to learn of his death.
which occurred at 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, Nov. Sth, after long illness
from liver trouble, at the former home
of Mrs. Sheldon in Sidney, where he
had been during the greater part of the
summer and fall. Mr.. Sheldon had
been on two weeks visit to his
mother in Morrill,, and on returning to
Sidney last Friday took his bed, to
which he had since been confined.
George c. Sheldon was born in the
town Of Waldo, in Waldo county, Sept.
1, 1862, and was the son of Ephraim F.
and Helen NJ. whitney, Sheldon. He
received his early education in the
schools of his native town, afterward
taking a course of study at the Castine
Normal school. Later, he entered the
Coburn Classical Institute, from which
he graduated in 1888. After gradual
ing from the institute he entered Col
by college and graduated in 1898. De-
Gliding to adopt the practice of law as a
profession, he entered the law office of
Judge w. C. Philbrook of Waterville,
and in 1895 was admitted to the bar of
Somerset county. He then opened a
law Office in the town of New Portland,
where, in addition to his practice, he
served as superintendent of schools in
1895 and 1896.
In 1897 he came to Augusta, and on
May 1st of that year opened an office in
the city. He succeeded in building up
a good business, and April 1, 1899, he
took a partner, NJ. E. Sawtelle, who
has since been associated with him
under the firm name of Sheldon & Saw
telle.
On July 3, 1898, Mr.. Sheldon was
united in marriage with Miss Alice NJ.
SaWtelle OF Sidney, a sister of his law
partner, the union resulting in two
children, daughter, Bertha s., who
died May "a, 1903, and one son, George
c. Sheldon, Jr., who, with the widow ",
survives. In 1901, Mr.. Sheldon was
chosen member of the common coun-
Gil, where he served two years, and was
then chosen member of the board OF
aldermen, serving one year
MI. Sheldon was member of the
Sons of Veterans and past captain of
Henry G. Staples Camp of Augusta,
having been chosen captain in 1902 He
was also member of Highland Lodge,
\. Q. I. W., Asylum Lodge, |. O. O..
F., of the Royal Arcanum, and of the
kennebec Bar Association
In religious preference he was Uni
tartan, and in politics a Republican.
He was strong worker for the party,
and did work on the stump in New
York during the Mckinley and Roose-
welt campaign in 1900, and also in the
same field during the Roosevelt and
Fairbanks campaign in 1904.-kenne-
