Green St. Church.

Two interesting : addresses were
given at Thursdays session of the
Augusta District Methodist Associa-
ton in this city. Rev. DR. F. A. Leitch
Of Auburn gave a paper on THE
CAN OF the Kingdom: Home Mis-
sions." followed by "Epworth League

We're able and interesting, and We're
followed with close attention. :
Dinner was served in the vestry of
the church ana the afternoon session

"H"w Can tire Epworth League
Members p Made to Feel Their Indi-
vidual Rtsponsibilty" was the subject
Of IA paper ny Rrv. Walter Canham of
Farmington. and an Interesting mis-
sloparl address was given by Rev. NJ
f. King. entitled The Sunshine OF
India '&S
rollorin@ Mr.. Canham's address the
tollO"in2 resolution was introduced
by Rev. +. y. Leitch OF Auburn. as
4 c"m:nittee. ard passed unanimously,
but after Il rather lively diScussion
Il; sn:rcG. that this Augusta Dis
trict Methodist Association. in session
at Augusta Nov. 8. expresses its re-
gret ana takes issue with the attitude
o" lions Herald regarding the clip
ping rom tie Inter Ocean, Chica go,
Republican, and published oct. 70. We
90 not bcllrlr that the onlT rational
explanation of Mr.. Roosevelt's. con-
tnneG activity in the arena of public
life is: burning desire a hot ambition
20 be President permanent.
We 40 not believe that Mr.. Roose-
Welt has 50 far forgotten his moral
sense of honor. his sense OF justice,
as to place his personal ambition
above the moral interests OF the good
OF his country and its citizens.
I'VE do believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
is fighting the battle of righteous
ness. the battle of justice. the battle
of the church and the Kingdom Of
God and tlat he is in prophetic tune
with the men of vision and inspiration
wi!om history delights to honor.
The following officers of the assotia-
lion were elected: President, Rev. G..
y. Holmes of Lewiston lst vice presi-
dent, D. w. Church Of Hall"well; I'd
vice president, Rev. H. G. McGlaufiin
of Lewiston: executive committee,
Rev. Il. f. Drnnack Of Augusta. Rev.
Il. A. Rich OF Fairfield and $. d..
McNaughton If Gardiner.
The evening session was given over
to a lecture by Rev. NJ. f. King,
Macedonian Cry, From the Shadows
Of India" This lecture had been
planned fors Wednesday evening but
