Want to Know about Maine

Col. F. E. Boothby, general passenger
agent of the Maine Central railroad, is
having an unusual number of calls from
magazines, newspapers which issue illus
trative supplements, railroads in other
parts of the country, lecturers and others
asking for photographs of the Maine
coast, lake and interior scenery, and fish
ing and hunting scenes.
Mr.. Boothby says that the Maine Cen
trail management has pretty wen exhausted
its resources in obtaining these, and as all
such help much to advertise Maine, he
would be pleased If photographers, either
professionals or amateur, who have photo
graphs which they would be willing to
sell or loan would let him have the use OF
them.
If such are sent as gifts they will be
much appreciated and put to the best use.
OF course he is willing to pay market
price for such as can be used. With all
the cameras that are owned in this beauti-
full State, there must be a lot of nice
material which could be used in this way
to spread still wider the fame and popu-
larity of Maine.

The first large edition OF "Hurricar e

nance, was exhausted before publicatio ion

The third large edition OF Thomas Dix

Doubleday, Page & Co. have acquired
the stock and publication rights of Agnes
c. Laut's novel Lords of the North"
By many people this is considered the
best work OF an author who has vigorously
interpreted Canadian Northwest life.
"Lords of the North" deals with the
struggle between the Hudson Bay Co. and
its young rival, the Northwest Co. for the
control of the fur trade.
George Horace Lorimer has signed a
contract with Charles Frohman for play
founded on sold Gorgon Graham.
Paul Potter is collaborating with Mr..
Lorimer. The play will be produced next
autumn. II is said that NJ. H. Crane is
being considered for the part of the cpl
grammatic Chicago pork-packer.
In ''Tommy Carteret", which Double

2, Justus Mills Forman has written his
most ambitious book so far. 1t is more
serious than his first success, "Journey's
End, and deals with the extraordinary
career of a man, who while engaged to a
beautiful young girl, becomes possessed
by vision which becomes shockingly
real and which makes possible story of
startling incident.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAyOR.
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning April 2.


Topic.--The making of Christian; his
food.-II Tim. iii, All: John vi, Ass.
In the making of a Christian we have
already considered his birth and speech.
We come in this topic to his food, a
very essential element in his develop
ment. No sooner is a child born into
this world than it must be fed. The
unfed child would soon languish and
perish. This is essentially true also
of the child born into tie kingdom of
God. Its life viii be supported and sus-
tanned by that which nourishes and
develops spiritual life.
Growth whether physical or spirit
ual, is gradual. Therefore food to pro
duce the desired results must be regu-
larly partaken of and be adapted to
the age and condition OF the one fOT
whom it is intended. Irregularity il
eating is very injurious to physical
health So it is to the spiritual LIE
We must be regular in tie exercise o.
the means of grace by which the soul
grows if we are to produce the hes,
kind of spiritual life. Adaptability Is
also an essential factor in the develop
ment of spiritual as well rs physical!
life. Each age has that which is more
particularly adapted to it. We do not
feed meat to babe, but milk. In the
spiritual realm also there should be
"strong meat for men and milk foI
babes This fact is sometimes over
looked and the good things Of the Cos
pei are indiscriminately dispensed. But
this is unwise and unnecessary. God $
word is a storehouse in which suitable
truth may always be found. Here
young and old, weak and strong, wise
and unwise. may find the word in sea
son that will meet the want and need
Of the soul.
But of what does the Christians food
consist? a. He feeds upon the Scrip
lures. The Bible is the inspired word
Of God and is profitable for doctrine
for reproof. for correction. for instrac-
ton in righteousness, that tile man OF
God may be perfect, thoroughly fur
nished unto all good works" t21 He
feeds upon Christ Il am tie bread OF
life" says Christ That is. what bread
is to the physical life Christ is u the
spiritual life, He is our model and t.
become like Him we must have col-
slant fellowship and communion with
Him, must daily sit at His feet and
study His words ana acts and work
them out into our own lives.
