The Penobscot Bay Bethel Mission.

All those who are interested in mission work.
and mission work in our own State in partic-
ular, will be glad to learn that the officers of
the worthy and much-alive Mission on Cape
Jellison, Stockton Springs are, very evidently,
awake to the need of mission work around
Penobscot Bay. Not only for the sailors, but
for the lone families of fishermen, scattered
here and there on the islands and shores of the
nay. Hitherto the work of this society has
been confined to the sailors coming to the
great wharves of the Bangor & Aroostook R.
R. at Cape Jellison, where it has building
fully equipped for such work; including read
lng-room correspondence room, bathrooms
and library, with gospel services each Sunday.
This building is the free gift of Rev. Francis
Southworth of the Congregational Bethel
Church, Portland, Maine. After careful can
vass of the spiritual needs of the people living
on the shores and islands of this great bay, it
has been decided to add a motor-boat to the
equipment, provided the funds to purchase one
can be raised, by which it will not only be possible
to reach every one of the scattered houses, but
every vessel bound for the various river ports
Bangor included-can be visited and supplied
with reading matter, as all vessels have to lie
in Fort Point Cove for longer or shorter pe-
riod before proceeding up-river, or to sea- The
Penobscot Bay Bethel Mission-as this society
will be styled in the future-is occupying a
large and needy field, and is alone in it. It
covers territory thirty miles long by twelve
miles wide. Only such families and lighthouses
as are isolated, and not under the care of some
church or pastor, will be visited by this society
and the work is strictly undenominational,
Rev. J. L. Corson, the superintendent, will
have complete charge of this work, having
been leader and manager of the work of this
society since its inception four years ago. He
is well fitted for missionary work of this kind
coming to it after years of experience as
missionary for the Bible Society of Maine, and
is well known throughout the State F.

current expenses, was granted by the last leg.
islature, and, if $500 90 for the four months
from January 1st to May 1st 1909, available
sometime in the future, be added to the re.
sources they will total S792. a. leaving def.
cit of S1s9.29
1t is doubtful if the estimated $4,000 can be
collected on the bills receivable, many Of
which are old and many others poor, so that il
is probable that the deficit will be increased
from this source by from $4,000 to $4,000 and
that it will be furthur increased by outstand-
ing debts which were overlooked by the f.
nance committee.
1t may therefore be assumed that the actual
deficit on the day of the annual meeting was
from 100000 to $4,000. or practically the same
as was reported by the committee of investi-
cation on the 18th day of February last Wis
$4,000.
The idea has been advanced that the money
for which the five hundred dollar note was
given to the Woman's Hospital Aid Society
was really Hospital money and should not be
charged up against the Hospital as indebted
ness. This is not correct. That money was
raised by the members of the Hospital Aid
Society, not to be used for the payment of
running expenses, but for the purpose of COM
pleting and furnishing the maternity ward,
now only partially finished, and in no part
furnished.
The note should therefore be paid and the
money applied to the purpose for which it was
originally designed.
1t is not to be inferred that the deficit was
due to any mismanagement of the finances of
the institution. On the contrary, in our opin-
ion, the affairs of the hospital have been con-
Quoted as economically as was possible under
the circumstances and with the means which
the management had at its command. But the
deficit exists and did exist on the 18th day of
February last as was shown by the report of
the investigating committee above referred to.
Its cause is not far to seek. The institution
has not received the assistance from the public
necessary for its proper support and mainten-
ance. AS has been said, it is public institu-
tion, dedicated to the alleviation of physical
suffering and the preservation of human life,
and is open to all. Its advantages cannot be
overestimated. With a competent surgical
and medical staff and corps of trained nurses
in attendance, the sick can be treated and
cared for there far more satisfactorily than in
the private home, and in cases where the ser
vices of a trained nurse are required at a
much less expense to the patient. The public,
therefore, should have deep and abiding in
terest in its success and prosperity, and it is
hoped that hereafter it will receive the sup
por, that it merits.

In addition to this amount the finance COM
mittee reported that there were few small
bills, such as telephone bill and electric light
bill, the exact amount of which they did not
know, and that there might be few others
which had not been called to their attention.
A claim of $50 for services was also noted,
which for some reason the directors had not
approved and which was not included in the
reported Indebtedness.
To meet its outstanding liabilities the corpo-
ration had the following resources.

Think Ii Over.

Memorial day falls Oh Sunday
this year. The legal holiday
however will be the day follow
ing, Monday, May 81. 1t is pro.
bable that the various exercises
in commemoration and honor of
the departed heroes will be held
throughout the nation on Mon
day. While it has not been the
custom ia Paw Paw to close the
stores and business places on
Memorial day. yet in the opinion
of the True Northerner they
ought to do SO, at least curing
the Memorial eXerc ses in the
afternoon. The merchants
should get together and close
during that time. The trade lost
during few short hours would
not be noticed in a few weeks,
and it seems as though the hand
full of battle SCARED veterans
that are left, are entitled to that
much consideration and respect
on Memorial day. Think it over.

dramshop can be established in

dramshop can be established in
any community in excess of the
number prescribed by the new
statute.
But no law was enacted during
the entire session that was of as
great interest and importance to
the people of this county as the
amendment of the local option
known as the Dickinson search
and seizure bill" which con
fers the right to search private
premises where complaint is
made that intoxicating liquors
are illegally kept or stored.
This law also contains clause
forbidding druggists to sell in
toxicants for medicinal purposes
except on the written, not print
ed or type written, prescription
of a licensed physician, and no
prescription can be lawfully
filled a second time and each pre-
scription must be Cancelled and
returned to the prosecuting at
torney with the druggists week
ly report of sales. Druggists are
also required to make monthly
return of liquors purchased.
, These provisions of the statute
should enable the officials in 10.
cal option counties to secure a
much better enforcement of the
law than has heretofore been
possible.
These statutes will all become
effective on the first day of Sep
TENDER next.
On the whole the work accom-
plished by the Legislature of 1909
has been commendable and will
meet with general approval.
