The Revival
At Monmouth,

Monmouth, Me, Dec. 1a-(SreciaD.-
by one Of the largest and most repre-
sentative congregations which has assem-
bled in Monmouth in a long time The
subject. as announced. was Some Hin
ORANGES Business Men Find in the Re-
laious Life The announcement secured
the attendance of large percentage OF
the business and professional men and
mechanics Of the town. Many new faces
We're seen in the congrega ton. Mr. and
Mrs. Ronald Mcclroy OF North Monmouth
We're present and sang 4 duet. There are
q few sentences from Mr.. HofsteaC's SER
mon:
The being of God binders 4 good
many, but God is and the difficulties of
belief cannot eliminate Him. The unbe-
| levers position is Gntonable, for an I'M
believer must believe in creation without
| creator; must believe in laws without
q law-eiver. Tho reason why :, good
many do not embrace Christianity is the
materialistic spirit of the age. Men can
neither see. handle, weigh nor measure:
| can neither buy nor sell God. Again
| they do not take time to consider the
| facts. Lord I.ittleton agreed to overtime
Christianity by proving the conversion Of
st. Paul a myth, and Gilbert r. West by
proving the resurrection of Jesus Christ
4 myth, but being eminent legal minds
they searched the evidence and became
convinced of their error. Lord Littlcton
himself was mraculously converted and
West in his endeavors TO keep Christ in
tn" grave was himself raised from the
dead. This will he the inevitable exneri-
encc of all those who honestly deal with
the facts
"Contentmcnt binders some, hat from
the very nature of the case contentment
cannot abide. Father Time will remove
the color from the cheeks. sciatica will
invade the side. rheumatism will tie up
the joints, the Heart grow weary and
stop. We will occupy our graves in the
city of the dead. Where is contentment?
Gone. Twenty years for training and -
years for sleep. We all siumber rs long
as Rip Van Wrinkle. but we. unlike Rip.
take it on the instalment plan. Twenty
years for work and it is all over. How
speedily does contentment vanish as we
near the end. Nothing but hope in God
can make the dim vision bright.
Now is the time for action. The day
closes at Sundowr." The evangelist then
went on to speak Of the sacrifices of ordi-
nary business men and developed the fact
that sacrifices are essential to every good
in life, emrha sizing especially the law of
sacrifice in Divine nercics.
"a sicrifice,' said the preacher, yes.
drop from us and an ocean from God"
The interest in this sermon reached sew
eral degrees higher than that in any pre
viouS service. The remainder Of the week
promises a great influence for good COM
ing from these services. as the congre-
cations have been continually increasing

John Prout's section crew which
looks after the Maine Central track in
Augusta and vicinity. was at work
yesterday on the platform at the pas
Senger station with view of making
an Improvement so that the planks be-
tween the rails will not lift. as they
usually do during the winter months
This is due to the snow and ice getting
under the edge of the planks and
throwing them up until they get high
enough to be caught by the pilots Of
the locomotives, and causes no small
amount of work on the part of the crew
to keep them in shape. To avoid this
the plank next to the inner side of each
rail on the eastbound track for the
greater part of the distance in front of
the station has been taken up and
turned rail set in, which is expected TO
do away with the trouble caused by
the lifting of the plankS.
