CARIBOU COME BACK TO MAINE
Small Herds Reported in the North
western Part Of the State.

Augusta Correspondence Boston Transcript
Mr.. John s. P. II Wilson. chairman
of the Maine fish and game com
mission states that in the Dead river
and Moose river regions deer are more
plentiful than for many years
Moose seem to be holding their own IN
the same territory which is bounded on
the east by the upper kennehec river ana
Moosehead lake and on the west by the
Canada line. The information from iuin-
bermen and forest fire fighters. as well as
from guides is to the effect that the WIZ
animals generally escaped from the forest
fires which were numerous in July
Mr. Wilson also states that several re-
liable men have reported to the commits
sioners that they have re- emily seen small
herd of caribou i'm the Woodstock region
of nort hwestern Maine. 1t II more than a
dozen wears since caribou is known to
have been killed in Maine and ii was sup
nosed that this migratory beast had gone
so far north that il might never return.
This suppositiOn was strengthened by
the opening Of more settlements in Can
ada. making it harder for the animals to
come into Maine b, a purely wilderness
route The recent legislature passed. a
law establishing close time to caribou
until October Is, 1917.

The Summer Church Merger.
rom the COngregationalist

From the COngrega f1onast
A man from another section of the
country looked down from the pulpit
which he was supplying the other Sunday
morning. and in frank. cordial fashion
expressed his delight in the union char
acter of the assembiage. For the life
of me | can't tell which of you are
Baptists and which Congregationalists,
but / consider the arrangement most
gracious and profitable one. My own
church in the west is pursuing the same
course" 1t is not the fact that they
can thereby speak to more persons that
makes visiting ministers glad to par
ticipate in union gatherings. That is an
important phase OF the matter, nut the
largest good from such combinations lies
in the fellowship which they express and
engender. This becomes all the more APP
parent when the midweek prayer meeting
is included in the merger. We believe
the arrangement as a whole is preferable
to the maintenance Of separate and poor
Nv attended gatherings. 1t Is certainly
far better than to close the edifice with
out making any real and attractive pro-
vision for would-be Worshipers who do
not go away on vacations. Out of such
summer fraternizine may grow common
undertakings in the autumn and winter.
that look toward the greater usefulness
of the churches concerned ana the wei
fare of the community. But whether or
not anything immediate and. tangible re-
suits. the more the Christians of any
locality can be thrown together IN
natural ways, the more vigorous and dis
cernible will the spirit of unity become.
No more formidable barrier to unity eX-
lists today than the unbendlns parochiai-
ism to be found in many a community,
large and small. as we'll as the slight ac
auaintance which members of one de-
nomination have with another. that In
some cases amounts to absolute fsno-
rance. Such stiffness and isolation ought
to be melted away in the warm atmo-
sphere of brotherly love.
