Mrs. Allen had employed Laura Ferguson
upon the recommendation of the latters
sister, Mrs. King who is employed as

money. I'm telling you the truth, because
I don't intend to get into trouble for any
body
'"Will you repeat the statement if you are
taken before your sister?' she was asked.
She answered in the affirmative and the
officers brought the two together. Laura
Indignantly denied what her sister had stat
ed but Mrs Kings repeated efforts to have
Laura tell the truth brought an admission
from Laura that she had taken the cash
and hidden it in the coal pile in the cellar
at the house of her employer The detec-
tives searched the coal pile and found two
gold watches and the money.
The watches had been stolen from room
ers in the house and Mrs. Allen had not
known they had been lost until they were
discovered with her money in the coal bin.
After the property had been recovered the
woman was placed behind the bars. She
will be given hearing in the Police Court
tomorrow morning.
1t Is stated that the prisoner is also want
ed at Bar Harbor on charge of theft The

SERMON BY CAPT. VALIANT.
He breaches on "Defendless Acts" at
Local Mission.

"Defenseless Acts formed the subject
of the Friday evening discourse by Capt.
Theodore Valiant at the Homeward Bound
Mission. In part he said:
ut has often been observed that the
character Of years can be wrecked in mo-
ment; but there are men who have good
reputation. who are trusted in business,
who hold position in church or missions,
and who receive honorable recognition in
the society of the community, who deliber-
ately indulge in wickedness that If known
and proved. would imperil. If not destroy.
their reputation and character. Men whose
personal sincerity is not questioned, such
as corporations, trusts and politics, lend
themselves to the most fragrant sins. Mem
bers of the church or missions who recog-
nize the evil Of the rum traffic will rent
their property for saloon purposes or sign
applications for license to sell liquor. 1t
Is such things as this that bring religion
into dsrepute and put the profession OF
Christianity to an open shame. Christ is
more wounded in the house of His friends
than by the poniards of his enemies.
eff they did right they have no occasion
to fear publicity; If they did wrong, will
fully and designedly. then to claim to be
a Christian only proves them to be de-
feSSion they make.
1T is impossible to Justify man In the
church and claiming to be a Christian who
signs an application for a liquor license,
makes an assignment with the avowed or
premeditated purpose of cheating his neigh
bors or does any other act that invalidates
or compromises his religious character.
yet men who would not sell liquor who
would not cheat friend out Of dime, or
tell falsehood, make themselves parties
to such things and then try to excuse them
selves by the indirectness of the TRANSACT
ton. Their dishonesty. tnsincerity un-
truthfulness is not supposed to affect the
moral character because it Is concealed in
corporations and politics, or shifted to an
A political knave Is as venal as any other

Gus and unjustiiable as any individual

when their true character is revealed
they begin to cry: Save me. o God, for
the waters are come into my soul. sink in
deep waters where the floods overflow me-
fooishness and my sins are not hid from
Thee then the real distresses come and
they are ready to make sackcloths their
garments.
Yet any man who does right from no
higher motive than the fear Of public opin-
ion Is neither moral nor religious. He does
not remember that God sees him until dis
covery of his wrongs lead to his embarrass-
ment and distress; then he cries unto God,
not In repentance, but for deliverance from
the evils he has brought on himself
Preceding the discourse the audience

and Mr.. George Lauterbach read the lesson.
The meeting was closed with prayer by
