A Lincoln Day Sermon.

Last Sunday Representatives OF Acton
Post, No. SO, q. A. r. and the Sons of
Veterans attended services at the Baptist
Church when the new pastor H. S. Kidd
preached very able sermon, taking for
his theme the calling of great men to
workout Gods plan of progress in the
development OF righteousness and over
throw Of superstition and evil.
Moses was the great law giver to establish
reason and justice. David fought the
battles against materalism. God sent John
the Baptist to call people to repentance
and Jesus Christ to establish the way of
salvation. Paul, Knox, Wesley and Rog-
er William were instruments in Gods
hands for the establishment of the truth,
justice and lib erty.
Washington was the leader who freed
the colonies from the tyranny. Webster
Was the great e%xpounder of constitutional
law. While William Lloyd Garrison and
Wendell Philips and Henry Ward Beecher
were apostles to combat the right of prop
erty in a Abraham Lincoln was the
great commoner who made the freedom
of the slaves a fact and established liber
ty and equality for the black man before
the law.
Pastor Kidd told his congregation that
plans had been made for the erection OF
a new Baptist Church to seat 200 in
auditorium and 200 in the Sunday school
room which can be opened into the aud
itorium. The cost completed will be 81, 100.
Subscriptions amounting to $1,000 have
been received from out of town contribu-
tors. As soon as $500 more are subscribed
and when the weather becomes favorable
contractor H. 5. Titus will begin oper-
ations. Contributions will be welcomed
from local persons who think the enter
prise a benefit no the town.

by any Official statement of the company,
and disproved by the testimony taken be-
fore the subcommittee OF the Committee
on Appropriations of the House of repre-
sentatives.
Prior to 1897, when the dupont %receiv-
ed its hrsU order Of consequence, one of
100,O 600 pounds, the Government used

manufactured by Admiral Converse and
Lieuteant bernadon was patented and

of it = &aired the international
Smokeiess Powder Company. The presi-
dent Of the lattgr company, Mr.. Watts,
since dead. offered to sell the company's
formulas 81 foreign countries, but the
dupont Conpony was not a party to the
proposal and cannot be connected with
it. Some time ago when the dupont
Company hcane interested in the erec-
ton Of a powder plant in Brazil, its plans
submnlittea n the United States Govern.
