Sunday At THE OPERA HOUSE
Two Large Audiences Addressed by
Rev. Bowley Green.

At the Opera house Sunday after
noon and evening two OF the largest
audiences gathered that have yet greet
cd the preacher, Rev. BOwley Green.
AMI they gave such quiet and reserved
attention as would be expected Of any
Sunday morning congregation in any
| of our churches. The fact is evident
that people generally are hunge,ing for
the plain gospel truths of the Bible. and
they APPRECIATE the manly, straightfor
ward and earnest way it is presented
by Mr.. Green.
The topic Sunday afternoon was
Christ's threefold revelation of him.
self to the woman Of Samaria. First
as a polite young Jew. by asking her
for drink Of water at Jacobs we'll.
Second, as a prophet, by telling her
about the sins of her life. Third. on
the Messiah by telling her plainly.
Il am H." Then came her ready re-
Spouse and acceptance and her earnest
work i'm carrying the news to others.
Sunday evening Mr. Green's text was
Behold the Lamb of God who taketh
away the sin of the world."-John
: %. The forerunner was Il preacher
and came to prepare the way for
Christ's coming. Jesus appears i'm the
multitude, and how does John intro
duce Him. Not as great prea cher
though he was the greatest prpache
OF his day or any other time, for he
Spakc as one having authority. Not
as a great teacher. for he was more
than that. Not as a great Unitarian,
l. Il
gave himself freely to others. Not as
the great example though His charac-
ter was spOtless. and his ideal higher
than any could attain to. Example could
not save the world, and the world
needed Il Savior. some one to lf. them
up and put them on solid ground. But
John says, Behold the Lamb of Cod"
Lamb means sacrifice, atOnement for
sin. The name Jesus means Savior.
The prophet said. "They shall call His
name Jesus, for he shall save His peo-
pie from their sins" Behold! Look. by
faith to Jesus Christ, as your Savior,
and be healed. AT the close of the
preaching Mrs. NJ. f. Sawtelle sang as
solo Grace Enough for Me"
During this week meetings will be
held at the Winthrop street BAPTIST
church every afternoon at 3 o'clock
except Monday, and every evening at
40 except Saturday.

WENT THROUGH THE BREACH.
Bath Mans Renaissance of Break in
kennebec Dam in 1899.

The residents of Augusta who re-
member the terrible freshet of Febru-
airy in 1889 are not very numerous, but
there is man in Bath who has reached
the ripe age of 80 years who remembers
the incident well. The great freshet
was stamped indelbly upon his mind
for the day after the west end Of the
dam went down river carrying several
acres of land with it. he went through
the breach with a raft of logs and near
ly lost his life.
The man who has such cause to re-
member one Of Augustus disasters SD
wildly is George McCauseland, a boy
hood resident of Vassalboro and later
of PiltSiield. He, with a companion
came down river in the spring OF '39
with big raft of logs, intending to go
through the lock as usual. When they
reached Il point Il short distance above
the dam, the current was so swift to
the westward that they feared to lose
control of their raft, 50 a line was run
to 4 tree on the bank and made fast
the logs swung around into the cur
rent and the line snapped like yarn.
The other man got ashore, but Nc
Causeland was too late and went
through. AS the logs struck the quick
water the raft broke up and he was
precipitatod into the water. BY dint of
| hard swimming and lodging the big
sticks he got through all right, but lost
consciousness in the calmer water be-
| low.
A crowd Of wOuld-be reScuerS gave
| him up for lost when he diSappeared,
but the river tossed him on the shoals
| below the old fort where he was found.
A little hard work by the river men and
he was on his feet again and ready for
work.
After the water had subsidized some
what. the drivers went through the
breach in their long boat. but Mr.. Nc
CauslanI claims the distinction of be-
| ing the first man to go through and
come out alive.
