At the age Of seventy-three, after
sixteen years labor as missionary
in the lumber camps of Maine, Rev.
George H. Bowie of Hartland is hale,
hearty and filled with a determination
to continue preaching the Gospel to
those who have little opportunity for
religious worship.

sionary work fer the most part know
nothing of this mans wc>s Many of
them never have heard of him. Lit

lated for six months at a time in the
lumber woods of this great State shall
have church service. His has been a
work of privation and love. To it has
been attached no salary. At times he
has gone forth into the woods with
out money or food. depending upon
fate tor his sustenance. The good
which he has done can never be fully
known. 1t has been in deep woods,
where few others penetrate. If he has
done nothing more, the change in con-
ditions wrought by him at Chesuncook
on the shores of the lake of that
nobscot river system, has been worth
it all. AS a result of his efforts there
is school there today. where the
children. are taught, and thanks to
him the peal of the church bell is
heard.
Mr.. Bowie Is a native of Maine and
of Androscoggin county. When Is
years ago he became convinced that
it was time for the woodsmen to get
some spiritual teaching. he did not
consider his 81 years. He said: Il will
go to them" He did. At that time he
was connected with the Free Baptist
church, but later became an enthusi-
astice convert to Universalism, and
came into fellowship of the Univer-
salist church. He went into the woods
and began visiting the camps. He
knew woodsmen.
He did not approach them as would
good men not acquainted with them.
His preaching was of different char
acter. More than that, he was talking
to a critical audience. That may seem
a bit far fetched. Nevertheless 1t is
true. While perhaps not so we'll edu-

Rev. g. IL. Bowie, Lumber Camp
Missionary and His Work in Maine

camp to camp If the occasion RI /,
quires. If luck favors and he is in
vited to ride upon a tote team he ac-
cepts. He carries with him a small ,
grip his violin and the snowshoes
Reaching a camp he goes to the boss.
He tells him that he desires to hold a .
religious service in the camp. He has
yet to meet with refusal, and as rule
lumber camp bosses make no pretense
of being Christians. However, they
are human and have a respect for
the cloth. Next the missionary gets
in touch with the cook and with the
men. Getting in touch with the cook !.
is for the purpose of assuring suit
able place to preach. He then goes out
and circulates among the men.
That night when the work of the day
is ended and supper eaten he rises
and talks to the men. His pulpit may 4
be an empty box or barrel. 1t may
have a cover and it may not. To him
il is of no consequence. He is there :
TO talk to the men for their own good.
He plays the violin and sings to
them. They join in the singing, and
then he talks to them. urging them not
to waste their earnings of the winter. ;.
In doing this he points out how pleas
ed the wife and children. the moth
err and father or the best girl, as the !,
case may be, will be to see them come
home sober bringing their money with
them; how much more pleasure they !,
can get out of life by such a course.
not only because of the joy they will
bring to others but through the great Z
er benefit their earnings will be to
them.
In this way he talks to them about
the things which they understand. 1T
would be no USE" says he, ito talk !,
the old fashioned religion to them; to
preach the sermons which your city
pastors prepare and preach each Sun >
day morning.
In this way he wins their respect
and his influence is for good. The >
bosses tell him so. That it is so is
proved by the attitude which the men
who carry on the operations of the big Z
lumbermen take to his visits. They
seek in every way to make him com
Portable, to aid his cause
In the course of his life in the woods
Mr.. Bowie has had many trying expe- !,
riences. but none of these were more
severe than one trip which he made
from Telos Lake TO Chamberlain Lake !,
House. 1t was in the dead of winter.
He had to walk the entire distance of
about IL miles on snowshoes, travelling,
against a head wind. He was all day
making the trip. and when he reached
the house that night could scarcely
drag himself up over the bank of the
lake and into the house.
This winter Mr.. Bowie is supplying
the church at Palmyra. 1t means a
drive of "a miles each Sunday. 12,
miles to church and the same number
returning. His total remuneration to

TROLLEY LEAGUE
WILL PROBABLY
OPEN JUNE 1ST

1t is now very probable that the
Trolley League will get started about
the first of June. This is the time that
the different directors thing that they
will be able to get the league going.
The ruling In regard TO the number
of players is the same this year as
last, that is. seven local players and
two outside ones. Augusta promises
to have a strong combination and al
though the management is not sure
as yet as to who will be the twirlers
they have their eye on a number of
promising ones.
Principal Higgins of the Smith
Grammar school, who pitched last sea-
son in the Bangor League, will in all
probability be seen in an Augusta uni
form. a number of the positions on
the nine viii be holly contested but
the position where the liveliest argu-
ment is likely to take place is at short
stop. Brooks Newbert, who held down
that position last year, is fast man,
covers lot of ground and is a fair
ly good man at the bat. But the man
who will give him hot go is Jerry
Carey, who for several years has
played perhaps in not what would be
termed organized ball, but who for
long time has figured prominently in
the Pettingilfs Corner battles. Jerry
is natural infielder and can play
almost any position on the diamond
when it comes to that. He is fast, COW
ers lot of territory, and a ball that
gets by him has got to know the
route. When it comes to hitting Carey
is not found wanting for he generally
finishes up the season with an aver
age around the 300 mark.
Winthrop has two exhibition games
on its schedule before the season
opens, one of which is with Kent's
Hill Gale, the old Kent's Hill catch
er, will be in Winthrop this coming
season and probably will play at the
initial sack, as Bradford, who played
that position last year, along with
Pitcher Holmes, has gone to the Mich
igan League.
Gardiner is as yet uncertain as to
just who will make up the team but
it is safe bet that 1t will dig up
team that has the goods. Hallowell
will be ready when the call comes
and it looks as though now that the
Trolley League would furnish its pa
irons with some fast games when the
season starts.

ANNUAL POUND PARTY
For ST. Marks Home Saturday After
noon Proves Very Successful.

The annual Pound party for the
benefit of st. Marks Home was given
Saturday afternoon at the Home, the
hours being from 4 o'clock until g.
and the occasion was very successful
both from a social standpoint and
otherwise. Many made it point to
visit the Home during the hours of the
party and they were cordially receiv-
ed and entertained in a manner that
rendered the occasion one of a great
deal of pleasure. The attendance was
larger than that of previous years and
the contributions to the Home were
generous.
The pleasure of the afternoon was
enhanced by the rendition of a pleas
ing musical program and refreshments
of sandwiches, cake and tea were
served. Mrs. Donald Cragin of Wat
erville poured and was assisted by
the Misses Mary Stinson, Florence
Gannett and Annie Hanks.

CO. NJ is READY.
Could Respond With Full Ranks in
Very Short Time.

The question has been often asked of
the members of Co. NJ of the End In
fantry, stationed at Augusta, how long
a time it would require to prepare the
company to leave in case call should
be received for service in Mexico, and
the answer which was given Saturday
when the question was asked at the
armory in the basement of City hall
was about three hours While the COM
pany has not yet been recruited up to
its full strength, so far as its present
personnel is concerned each man has
his complete field equipment at hand
with the exception of a few minor ar
ticles which could be issued in a few
minutes.
And when it comes to securing the
full complement of men, that would be
guaranteed. in addition to the recruits
which are being taken in every day,
by the former members of the company
who have expressed a willingness to
re-enlist. Some of these have seen ser
vice in the Spanish War, both in Cuba
ana in the Philippines. and the exper-
fence of all former members would
prove a great factor of value to the
service. In case Of a call the only de-
lay would be that of securing the ex-
ira uniforms and equipment at the
State storehouse and as stated above
that would be a matter of but a few
hours. When the call comes, and the
officers and men are confident that it
win, co. NJ will be found ready and
with full ranks.
The status of the citizen soldiers
has been much changed since the
Spanish War, and no other formalities
arc necessary in transferring them to
the federal service except the issuance
of the proper orders.
Like all National Guard organiza-
lions and many of those of the regu-
lar army also, Co NJ was far below
war strength in numbers, and the re-
cruiting mentioned above is being car
ried on in anticipation of a call for
war service. While the troops remain
ed in the State, the Junior subaltern of
each company would remain with a
recruiting party at the home station,
and in case the ranks had not been
filed, the regiment on leaving the
state would leave behind a general re-
cruiting party.
Recruiting for Co. NJ, however, has
taken a noticeable squirt since the call
TO service became imminent. Present
orders permit recruiting up to war
strength, and now is the time for
young men who wish to see service
and who would like to go out with the
local organization, among the fellows
they know to enlist, while there is
plenty of time for being properly uni
formed and equipped, and while there
is also an opportunity to learn the ru-
of soldering before being
called upon for the actual duties of the
field.
