day afternoon was of unusual interest,
as at that time Evangelist Elder S. Kim
ball, whose labors were so greatly blessed
In our city year ago, was the preacher
of the hour. The solos by f. D. Taylor
of Hyde Park. Mass, who is travelling
with Elder Kimball, were greatly enjoy
ed and the sermon that followed was full
of touching Illustrations of the mercy
and power of God to save.
Elder Kimball selected his, text from
Luke Xv:lS. Il will arise and go to my
father" In graphic language the depart
ure of the prodigal from his home, his
experiences by the way. as he fell in
with fast companions who soon stripped
him of his money and his character,
were portrayed. until he found himself
in the far country and furnishing for
bread. Wildly the degradation and mis-
cry of sin were shown as this young man
became a swineherd and vainly tried to
satisfy his hunger with swine's food. The
awakening, the coming to himself" and
his return and welcome home, as it re-
vealed the great love OF the father,
moved all hearts, and at the close of the
discourse several persons expressed a
purpose to become Christians.
The evangelist closed his brief stay in
this city last evening, after two weeks
of reunion services with those whom he
had been instrumental in leading to
Christ a year ago. During these two
weeks several have been reclaimed and
some have been converted. and all who
have known of his faithful labors are re-
JoicinS that he came, and will bid him
and his Gospel singer. Mr. Taylor. IA
hearty God speed as they so to other
fields of labor.

MEMORIAL SERVICE
For the Late Frances Willard Held al
First Baptist Church.

4 union service in memOram of
Frances Willard was held in the First
Baptist church last evening by the
churches OF the city. Rev. Wilbur +.
Berry. -. d., of Waterville. chairman
of the Civic League of Maine. was the
sneaker of the evening and his subject
was Temperance" He delivered a
strong address in the course of which
he gave many instances of the evil re-
suits of both the moderate and inn
moderate use of alcoholic liquors. The
moderate use decreases the work of
the brain and body in the same pro-
norton as the immoderate use does.
Alcohol clogs the system and prevents
tho nrocess of elimination and a man
whose health is less than normal prac-
tically commits suicide by the use OF
liquor DR.. Berry stated that he ia
vorcd prohibition for the reason that
liquor serves no good purpose and gave
several instances to bear out his state
ment. He also declared that people
had no right to drink alcoholic bev-
erages of any kind as it decreases the
activity of all in every walk Of life
and our relationship to each other and
everything uetidiIuS lildt we w liot
use it. The only proper attitude, he
stated. was total abstinence and that
there would be no trouble with saloons
If that was used. You will stop liquor
selling when you stop drinking. He
stated in closing that if there was any
method more effectual in dealing with
the liquor question than prohibition in
the hands of competent men he would
like to know about it.
