Sundays Services.

Sunday was the grand climax of the
whole week of the conference. In the
forenoon and again in the evening City
hall was filled to it's capacity, and the
great congregations which assembled
there carried away the inspiring men,
DRY Of two of the most powerful SER
mons Of their lives. In the afternoon
the Methodist church was crowded at
the beautiful memorial service which
was followed by the impressive cere-
mony of ordination. 1t was the first
real spring Sunday of the year and no.
body seemed able to stay at home.
The first service of the day was the
conference Love Feast" celebrated
with true Methodist enthusiasm at City
hall at 9 o'clock. The meeting was led
by Rev. John r. Clifford of Gardiner
and great number participated in the
hour of prayer and praise. Following
it came the service of worship with
sermon by Bishop Hamilton, which
filled every seat in City hall, floor and
galleries. The united choirs of the
Methodist churches of Augusta, Halo
well and Gardiner furnished music
and there was also beautiful solo.

spoke briefly, thanking all the people
of the city for their help and hospital
ity in entertaining the visitors during
the week.
Bishop Hamilton's subject was Il
Have a Message from God Unto Thee,
finding his text in the third chapter
of Judges where the story is told Of
Ehud, who delivered the children of
Israel from Eglon, the King of Moab.
The sermon was built around three
propositions: First, God is in this
world; SECOND, it is the supreme duty
OF man to be the messenger Of God,
and third, the messenger must be the
embodiment of his message. .Enlarging
upon these topics with pertinent illus
trations, convincing logic and forceful
eloqucnce. the bishop preached such a
sermon as few in that great gathering
had ever listened to before. 1t was a
very long sermon, occupying fully an
hour and quarter, but from the re-
cital of the act of the lefthanded son
of Gera in Staying the fat king of the
Moabites, to the closing story of the
sublime faith of the Southern noun
tainecr praying by the side of his fe-
ver-stricken child-a simple tale of
personal experience SO effectively told
that thousand pairs of eyes in the
congregation were wet with tears-the
speaker held the rapt attention Of all
in the crowded hail., and most Of them
would gladly have listened for anoth-
err hour. .~.-

Saturday Evening.

Not even the fog and midst of Sat-
urday evening could prevent a crowd
ed church when Rev. Edmund M. Mills,
d. D., of Cincinnati spoke. DR.. Mills
is the field secretary of the several
organizations of the Methodist de-
nomination which are doing education
al and missionary work in the South,
the Board of Education, Freedman's
Society, and he is widely known, not
only as leader in this great work.
but also as very eloquent speaker
His address Saturday evening dealt
wholly with the conditions among the
colored people of the South and it was
q most interesting and instructive dis
course. 1t was full of striking illustra-
lions of the substantial progress the
black man has been making.
Said DR. Mills: Senator Tillman
says that Booker Washington is one
man among 100000, but thank God
there is only one Senator Tillman
among the S5,OOO,0OO Americans. Till
man, Vardeman and Bailey are nor
representative of Southern white sem
timent toward the negro. There ire
black scamps in the South just as
there are white scamps, and the on,y
way to solve the whole race problem
is to make good men out of both of
these classes of scamps. There has
been complete change in Southern
sentiment regarding the education of
the negro Those noble Southerners
who are helping the black men are
little heard of in the North. but they
are many in number and the results
of their work are seen on every side.
The South does not want to get rid of
the negroes. 1t needs all the labOrers
il has now and more too. Nobody has
a better right in America than the
negro for the invitation which brought
the race here was very pressing one.
The race feuds of the South usually
begin in whiskey, but the South is
now coming in line for prohibition.
Only those political leaders of the
South, Tillman, Watterson and Francis
now stand for the saloon. The educat
ed negro boy goes to the front in all
the trades and professions. His color
is hardship for him, but if he has
the goods the world forgets his color
in it's selfishness to get the benefit of
his brains. Our schools are doing
splendid work there and merit most
generous support. The application Of
the Sermon or the Mount and the Ten
Commandments will quickly solve the
problem of the negro. 1t is our duty
and privilege to carry to- a glorious
completion the work begun by Lincoln
and the boys in blue

Supt. Albee of the Augusta Water
District reported yesterday afternoon
that the repairs to the Carleton pond
pipe line had been completed Saturday
noon, and that the reservoir would
probably be full of water once more
before this morning. The pressure
ran down very low Saturday forenoon
owing to the draining of the reservoir.
but this condition lasted only a short
time as the pumps were started at
about 1880, the water being pumped
directly into the mains, so that in the
afternoon there was fairly good
pressure. To guard against any emer-
gency which might arise, however,
Mayor Plaisted secured the use of two
steam fire engines, one from Hallowell
and the other from Gardiner, the for
mer being stationed in the Augusta
House stable and the latter in the
Cushnoc hose house. An engineer and
fireman came with each steamer, and
Chief Engineer Buckley had a pair of
horses hitched up to the steamers all
night, ready at a moments notice, and
also had 25 men on duty all night.
Happily, however, the steamers We're
not needed, but the wisdom on the
part of Chief Buckley in having his
men and the apparatus ready for in
slant action should their services be
required is warmly commended. Many
too have expressed the opinion that
the predicament in which the city
found itself on account of the break
in the water pipe is the strongest ar
gument that could be offered in favor
of the purchase Of steamer.
