In . certain volume that has come
down to rs from the venerable past,
we'll recommended, and which many
people even dare to deem rather reliable,
having been written By holy mon of old,
who spoke - they were moved BY the
Holy Spirit, - It 10 claimed, there stands
this Injunction: Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God - . and thy neighbor as
thyself.
Then follows the lawyers question:
Who Is my neighbour And afterward the
beautiful parable of one who was s0rely
In need of . friend, and to whom came
friend indeed-not In tho person OF the
priest and Levite, who had the curiosity
TO 90 and look on him who was wound
ed. and the inhumanity 10 pass BY on
the other side, but tho friend was one OF
the lowly and of . race despised. The
conclusion of tho whole matter In the
lawyers mind Was, that he who sho WED
mercy was the neighbour. II would seem
to require but little exertion to start up
. tolerably warm regard for neighbor
Of that type.
Should We preach sermon from the
text: Love thy ueighbor! Taking no
thought OF the context, we might satisfy
10 few of our intelligent congregation
that we are not morally and Biblically
bound to love only him who discovers q
wounded man by the wayside, pours oil
into his wounds, carts him to the nearest
hotel and pays the bills. That would be
literal enough to suit the most literal
loving.
But the context corners us: Go thou
and do likewise. And when all OF US,
near and remote, do an equivalent thing,
and keep on doing as occasion requires.
then have we all become neighbors and
are Biblically and logically bound to love
all creation.
Remoteness enters not into the calcn
lation at all. "The sea Is His and He
made It," but he did not make It line
OF division between neighbors, and the
dividing line between nations and pep
pies and tongues is not line Of division
between neighbors. If In the mind OF
any there be q line It Is simply an imagi.
nary one. Many are the times that our
nation has proven herself to be verit-
able Samaris among the nations and has
gone and done likewise.
Not in vain did furnishing Ireland, not
in vain did starving India stretch out
pleading hands to the land that the Lord
has blessed. And who shall say and
who can know that the blessings have
not been multiplied because of the hast
ing to be a neighbor indeed. Certain II
Ia that It could not be cause for with
holding blessing and benediction.

Our little village received hard blow
Sunday night. 1t was the worst fire
since 1877, when the Bartlett store,
dwelling and stable were burned. The
Sunday night fire was close call for the
whole village south and east of the
hotel property. Great work was accom-
plished with what we had to do with,
until the Norway and Locke's Mills fire
companies arrived. Their presence no
doubt saved one side of the main street,
and our citizens fully appreciate their
kindness and assistance In their hour of
distress.

BATTING AVERAGE.
FIELDING AVERAGE.
oxFoRp 8: SOUTH PARIS U.

South Paris base ball team went to
Oxford Saturday and met the team there
for the FIRST time this season. The Ok
ford team, like the other teams In this
vicinity this season, was composed Of
local players with the exception Of
Bearce, and all who know this player
will realize that this one exception made
q great difference In the final score of
the game.
The change of the lineup of the team
was made because Of Ford's return
home, Lowell refused to 60 to Oxford
and Parlin preferred West Paris to bis
home team, after being the one who ex-
pressed the strongest desire to meet Ok
ford. The vacancies were filed BY Cole,
who has returned from Bates, and mem.
bers of Paris High School team.
The game was interesting and sharply
contested throughout, being pitchers
battle between Delano of Oxford and
Cole of Paris. Both pitchers did fine
work, each side getting but two hits
during the game. This was Coles first
game In the box this season, and he
was trifie wild, one of his bases on
balls developing into run. Clark
caught Cole In fine shape, and Became was
the only ono who succeeded in stealing
on him. The other high school men did
clean work and showed that they can be
depended on to strengthen the team.
Both pitchers received good support,
Paris only error, however, cost q run
while neither of Oxford's errors did any
damage.

Johns Letter.

1t is an evidence of faith in the farmer
that he plants anything this year. Well.
We have to ''go il" blind In this world
and climate, or any climate, as it is
pretty much all world, and trust in luck
or providence. 1t is quite certain IL we
do not plant and SOW we shall not gather
into barns. Seed time and harvest never
yet have failed. o, the time has never
failed but sometimes the harvest has
somewhere. Perhaps 1t Is our turn this
time. The fruit trees are beautiful with
blossoms and promise abundance when
they arrive at maturity along about
Christmas.
We have to thank the Rebekahs for an
invitation to meet with them in Odd
Fellows Hall, an invitation We accepted
and were glad TO accept and We have no
special reason to regret II, although We
do feel q little below par to-day. We
have seen the day that We could carouse
from sunset to sunrise, eat two plates of
Toe cream and some cake and come up
smiling.
The visitors were from Norway-good
looking ones too. The Buckfleld Re-
bekahs furnished very toothsome sup
Dor and later on ice cream and cake.

readings and tableaux, under stage

Green wood.

Yes, our Maine climate is one of ex.
tremes. 1t was hardly expected that
there would be occasion to speak of an
other frost this spring, but that is an
other hint of how little We know of the
future. On Wednesday morning the
lower field was white with frost, which
in lighter form extended into the door
yard. Perhaps 1t was not so severe as
to do much damage, but it was no small
fry for almost the middle of June. At
ten O'Clock on the same day the Their

The other day Wesley Ring drove his

examining it to learn the cause he found

nail which made the trouble.

Those two Mormon elders called here
yesterday and resulted in rather lively
discussion for a while, although no un-
pleasant words were uttered by either
party. OF course they undertook to
vindicate their religion in various ways,
and when told that if one quarter of
what had been said and written about it,
including its founder and leading men,
bers, was true, it was a mass of iniquity
like the teachings of the Koran, ''only
that and nothing MORE" to this they
answered that all those writings and
sayings were from their enemies, and
utterly false. No meetings were held,
nor Mormons made about here 80 far as
known.
A letter arrived here recently contain
ing baby photo, and on the back side
of the card these words: "Richard
Cummings Dunham, aged three
months" The same letter contained
two cards. on one of which was writer
"Mr. and Mrs. Harry K. Bumpus," an
smaller one, the name of "Doroth,
Pearl Bumpus. Born Februry nine
teenth, nineteen hundred and seven."
Perhaps 1t will be recalled that the
mothers of those two babies are sisters,
one living in Albany and the other in
Auburn. and the children were both
born on the same day.

Many people In Paris are slowly

Mona stomach tablets are for the
special relief of such sufferers. They
quickly cure the worst cases OF indiges-

disappear. -
Mi-O-na stomach tablets cost but 10
cents a box and do more good than o
