THE CHURCH ATTACKED

New York. in an address upon THE
Indifference of Church and Moral
Forces" tire church is living UP to it's
own record. The church has never been
the champion of social reform or the
leader of social progress. The church
will never be aroused to real action IN
social movements until it has been
aroused from its present condition
"rhis condition is due first to denom-
inatioualisEl, second to interest in an
other world instead OF this world. and
third to the over-WeeninS interest in
foreiop missions, instead Of home mis-
sions.
81 can think OF nothing more impu-
dent than for the Christians of this
country to take to foreign lands that
gospel which they have not learned
themselves and to the practice or
which they have not converted their
own civilization"

the Merrill block is fitted up for Of
fees and is at present occupied by
Harold Phillips. lawyer, DR.. Charles
II. Halves, lawyer.
on December 81, 1908 there was a
$1,000 fire on Water street which
wiped out the Mlburn block, the Ok
ford Hotel and five dwelling houses.
These buildings are now replaced with
up-t1-datn blocks. Morrison & Nc
Clcllan have nearly completed their
new brick block which is Of handsome
design with stores on the lower 1loor
and offices on the second floor. Tho
block is sixtylive feet deep and the
frontage is thrty-eight feet. There
has also been built by l.. l.. Morrison
Il brick block in the rear of the above
mentioned block which is occupied by
himself as a rug factory and the
ground floor is used by John o itellley
as a bottling shop.
One Of the handsomest blocks to be
built in SkOWhegan is the new home
Of the First National Eanll which is
nearing completion and Wall be occu-
pied in June of this year. The design
of the block is unique. 1t is built or
white stone and granite. There will
'ie q lighted dome on the block and on
the front over the doors will be Il large
clock. The building occupies plot oil
ground 37l2x7S feet.
The Gould block which contains
Hotel oxford was completed in the
summer of 1899. The block is an orna-
ncnt to Water street. No block has
had more care taken in it's building
and today it il; prominent because OF
it's structural beauty. The stores IN
this block are occupied by a. F. Dyer
cry goods. and Frank buchanan as a
drug store.
40 building has ever been erected in
SkcWhegan that the town is prouder
of than it is of the new Municipal
Building which was completed in the
carly part of 1909. 1t took about four
years to get the City hall, but it now
stands as a mark of the spirit of the
"opla of SkoWheSan that they want
the best.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1910-01-15

The Municipal Building was COM
pleted at a cost of about $1,000. This
building was the outcome of losing
Cohurn Hall by fire in 1904. Coburn
Hall had heen used for all town pur-
cscs since 1857 until it was burned.
From that time until TIE completion
OF the new city building the citizens
of SkoWheoan had no municipal home,
no place to hold town meeting ana IL
was ONLY by the most judicious meth
DDS that each voter had chance TO
get to the nolls so crowded would be
;;,e small rooms, such as the Metho-
dist church yestry and other similar
nlacas that were engaged for the
town meetings. One can imagine what
the condition was when he knows that
thero wera over a thousand voters try
inc TO get into a room that had seat
ing canacitv of about one hundred peo-
pie.
If was on account of these conditions
that tho neople, being aroused to ac-
tiou made up their minds that when
q municiral building was erected it
sho,1ld answer for a long time and
what Skowhegan would be
some dav with its wonderful industrial
they decided that the best
sbould ba built and there is no QucS-
tion but that Skowhegan has now one
of the best municipal homes in the
Stat4.-cities included.

to have been a new spirit of content
edness among the people here. 1t is
presumed to be due to the steady work
that is assured them in the different
mills ard factories in SkoWheSan.
One of the handsOmest residences
built in Skowhegan in 1909 is that of
Frank Buchanan on Madison Avenue
on Dyer Hill. 1t is unusual in its de-
sign being part red brick with the
upper story of stucCO. 1t is of the old
English style cottage house. 1t is ht-
ted with all the modern conveniences
and unlike any other house in SHOWING
gan every room opens into hall. 1t
is estimated that the house cost about
O,C0o.
Another house that adds beauty to
Madison Avenue that was built in 1909
is that of J. Fl. Mathews & Son who
have a two story house. 1t is on what
lis known as Somerset Park near the
Fair Grounds and is the best residence
in that part of Skowhegan. There is
only one other house in SkoWheSan or
the same style, that being the resi-
dence of w. b. Whittier on Madison
Avenue 1t is estimated that this
house cost about $1,000. .
The most costly residence that was
begun in 1909 is that OF eX-Shcrifr
CLYDE Fl. smith who purchased the old
homestead of the late O. r. Bachelor
on Water street Mr.. Smith has re-
huilt~this having torn down the old
house, leaving only part Of the
framework. The residence as built by
! Mr.. smith is of Colonial style. The
underpinning is of cement blocks, this
being the first construction of it's kind
| ever done in Skowhegan. The founda-
| ton of verandas and porte cochere is OF
| ledge stone and the veranda floors
| are of red brick. This residence is as
vet not completed but when done Will
be the most beautiful residence ir
| Skowhegan.
| There have been about thirty resi-
Gences built in Skowhegan village in
1909 About eighteen OF these have
been built on the north side of the
| river.

Skowhegan has always prided her
self on having good business blocks.
The town has, without doubt, suffered
more from fires in the last few years
than any other town in the State.
The fires have taken out some of the
best blocks but in every instance
there have been put up in their places
up to-date modern blocks.
1t was in the early part of 1909 that
the Sampson & Griffin block on the
corner of Madison Avenue and Water
street was completed and it is now one
of the best blocks that can be found
in town. The upper part is used for
Offices while the whole lower floor is
occupied by Sampson & Azores drug
store The block commands the at
tention Of all who may be going
either through Water street or Mad
ison Avenue. 1t is unique in design
and is made from light varicgatcd
brick. This beautiful block was built
in the place of an old wooden block
that had been there for a number Of
years and was destroyed in 1907.
The next block to be completed in
1909 was the j. Palmer Merrill block
which has frontage on both Madison
Avenue and on Water street. 1t is
one of the most substantial business
blocks ever built in SkoWhegan. This
block replaces the four old wooden
buildings which were destroyed by
fire on September 2, 1907 The blocl.
is of pressed brick with granite trim
mings. 1t is of two stories with q Gem
cnted basement. The roof is sur
mounted with cornices of copper Or
the Water street floor there are three
stores One of these is occupied by
Walter F. Robbins Company, jewelers.,
and one is at present vacant and thu
other is occupied by j. Palmer Merrill
& Son as a shoe store. The block on
the Water street side has frontage
Of eighty-four feet The part of the
block fronting on Madison Avenue has
a frontage of about fifty feet A part
of this is used by Charles Folsom
Jones as an insurance office and the
other part by Frank Pooler as sho"
repairing store. The upper story OF

when the child is removed from the arena
of industrial competition was the pre-
diction made by Prof. Samuel McCuhe
Lindsay of Columbia University. VINO

..The school today looks only in one
direction. the making of literate cltl-
zens." said Everett w. Lord, secretary for
New England of the Child Labor Com
mittce. "They should cultivate that IN
dustrial intelligence essential to lhdus-
try efficiency.
At the afternoon session Prof. Alex
ande ridiculed the hook worm crusade
and said it was merely an old parasitic
disease suddenly re-discovered, and that
with it's discovery there had been begun
a crusade the apparent purpose of which
was to translate bodily the entire white
agricultural population of the South from
the cotton field to the cotton mill as the
only possible remedy.
