very few particulars. Much Of the open field
and pasture in the days of my youth is now
wrapped in forest folds.
There is the river. What a clear view we
used to get OF that. Now look at IL. 1t is
half hid behind trees which were not there
then. Then, we, in daytime, could see every
boat Of which we could hear the sound of
rowing. Now. in the main, we can see only
those which ply the middle OF the river and
| along the opposite shore; and, as look out
over the river from point near the old house
IN which was born, portion of IL Is entirely
hid from my view, because of n growth Of

And while the farm has changed, realize
that have, too. 1t is by studying and guess
ing that some OF my long-ngo associates are
able to make me out. Once stood before one
of my own cousins, calling him by name, and
he was a long time locating me, greatly to my
surprise. And sometimes | hardly believe
that am myself at all, especially when look
| in the glass.
So change goes on and on in the earth, and
in and on man who treads upon 1t. 1t must

To-day, Sunday, attended meeting in the

1t was different kind OF q Baptist sermon
than ever had heard in that church. It
sounded to me very much like what am used
to hearing in my own church. now-a-day. 1t
had. for me, sweeter tone than did those OF
that other day. 1t WAS more cheerful and
comforting. enjoyed this sermon very much
/ remember how did not enjoy those4old SER
mons very much. Perhaps 1t was all my fault:
but IL am not mistaken, the word progress is
written in large letters all over the face of
this fair land OF ours, and it isn't strange to
me that the preacher should imbibe some OF
the progressive spirit and give it forth to his
flock.
The sign is good. It's uplifting. It touches
the hearts of men and women. 1t reaches down
TO the boys and girls. They can see that in
life which is worth while. 1t euthuses them
TO do their level best for the love of 1t.

Dear Aunt Madge:
must tell you what a nice time my John,
Ruth and myself had last week. We took an
outing and went 70 Litchfeld to visit his
daughter. Everything looks so beautiful;
never saw the trees more gorgeous. All
along the banks OF the Kennebec river 1t
looked SO prettyl
One day we took team and drove TO Mon
mouth. The farms are large and the trees all
through that way are loaded with apples
Everywhere we went everything looked as
though 1t was dressed in SUNDAY clothes. /
enjoyed our ride to Monmouth very much, for
the horse we had was not afraid of automo-
biles or anything else. Since my experience a
year ago with our horse on my way to the re-
union, have not enjoyed riding very well.
One day while we were in Litchdeld we took
the electric cars and went to Togus. did not
imagine that it was such large place. 1t
is real village. We came back on the steam
cars. took Ruth to see the park there. We
saw four buffalo, four elk, two black bears
some deer, a bighorn and some of the most
beautiful pheasants Of several different colors
and some other kinds of birds that / did not
know the names Of, a number of different
kinds of rabbits, some guinea pigs and gray
squirrels everywhere, just SIS tamei They
seemed to have no fear of people.
On our way home we stopped off in Bangor
one night and reached home last Wednesday.
should have liked very much to have been
at that reunion. but it was some satisfaction
TO call up on the telephone and talk with Dell
and Aunt Madge. and could hear the muir
muir of the other voices in the room. After
reading the description of the gathering, all
written out SC plainly, almost thought was
there, it all seemed SO real. Well, next year /

Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beoinnino Oct. 27. 1912.

Tonic. Missionary endurance.-Tl Tim.
III. l0-17. Edited by Rev sherman II.
Doyle, q. D.
The history of Christian missions is
n history of endurance No disciple of
Christ ever went forth to preach His
gospel without being called upon to
endure hardness as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ" In the life of Paul, the
first great missionary to the gentle
races. this fact is abundantly demon
strated In his letter to the Corinthi-
ans al Cor. ri, 1888 he enumerates the
hardships that be was called upon to
endure. and short of martyrdom itself
it would be difficult to conceive great
er and more trying list of difficulties
and hardships. He was beaten. stoned.
shipwreeked. weary. hungry. thirsty.
cold. and suffered mental and spiritual
anguish in thinking of the condition OF
those for whom be labored in Chrlst's
name In his letter to Timothy be re-
calls the fact that he knew of his per
secutions. Affections which came to him
at Antioch. at Iconium. at Lystra, what
prosecutions | endured. but out of
them all the Lord delivered me-" No
matter how great our hardships and
difficulties. He who calls upon us TO
endure them is more powerful than
they and able and willing to deliver
US ont of them.
Paul's history as a missionary is but
an example of practically all who have
followed him, so far as endurance is
concerned. The, agonies TINT have been
endured, the prosecutions that have
been suffered by the missionaries Of
Christ cannot be enumerated. No
tongue could tell the story of the phys
zeal sufferings, mental and soul an
guish that have been endured by the
ing the glad tidings of salvation to lost
and ruined men They have been de-
spised. hated. prosecuted, tortured.
burned and crucified. They have, in
deed. as Christ Himself said. gone
forth as sheep among wolves, been de-
hvered up to councils and prosecuted
even unto death.
The history Of the early Christian
centuries is full of the most bitter
prosecutions and of martyrdom by
methods of untold cruelty. Nor does
the modern missionary movement
lack those who have endured similar
experiences. In Africa. China. India
and the islands of the sea the story
has been ever the same, and where
today there is no fear of physical
suffering the missionary is called upon
to endure the separations from loved
ones. the opposition that arises from
race and religious prejudices and the
many obstacles that must arise In
successfully carrying forward the
work of Christ's kingdom.
The glory of Christian missions is
the fact that the missionaries have
endured In spite of all sufferings and
difficulties. In the early days martyr
dom was not looked upon as a hard
ship but a crown of glory. This spirit
has always prevailed. and 1t prevails
today. Men have gloried in hazard
ing their lives for Christ's sake and,
like Moses. have endured "as seeing
Him who is invisible" Every Chris
tan life demands endurance. and the
exemplication of this virtue In the
heroes of the mission fields should In
spire US to an endurance that we have
never before known.
