Basket Ball.
The basket ball games be-

and the Winslow grammar school,
and the Snowflake academy YER

ended rather disastrously for our
local boys. Both scores were
large, and where the games with
Phoenix were very nice. and
basketball was simply the name
of the game, these teams from
the eastern part of the county
played the real game, though
very likely some of the spectators
thought it rough. Snowflake

Not One Reached Shore.

The difficulties with which the OPP
posing forces in East Prussia have
had to contend during the winter
months are described by a Prussian
soldier who has been through the long
campaign.
His company was entrenched near
one of the Masurian lakes, when three
Russian companies attempted a sur
prise attack by creeping over the ice.
The assault was discovered and re-
PEELED, and the Germans were able to
annihilate every member of the Rus
sian force without leaving the trench
es by the simple expedient Of break
ing up the ice with heavy shells, so
that their opponents drowned.
Glad in their heavy uniforms and
weighted down with cartridge belts,
the Russian soldiers never had a
chance. Before the eyes of the Ger
mans they chung desperately to cakes
of ice, and then, one by one, sank
from sight. Not a man ever reached
shore

Miss Mary Elizabeth Thurston.


Miss Mary Elizabeth Thurston, 81,
died Sunday night after IA. illness of
two days with pneumonia. She was
the only child of Capt and Mrs John
Thurston and was born in Mortified
Sept. 5, 1888. Early in her life she
showed a gift for music and when her
father died at an early age she decid-
ed to use her talent to support herself
and mother. For many years she
travelled in a large number of towns
in New England and west to New
York, Illinois and Iowa, teaching sing
ing schools and holding a concert at
the close of the school In this way
she was able to secure a good home
and living for herself and mother.
After her mothers death about %
years ago she gave up this work and
made her home with her cousin, Miss
Mary I. Dutton of this town, where
she died. She was member of the
Congregational church and its mission

lief corps and the Fortnightlv She

tives besides Miss Dutton. she had
many friends, old and young. and kept
her interest in everything until her

three and half years they had en-
loved the sun-crowned presence of Je-
sus-now darkness, Encouragement |
and gloom.
With what JOY the first parents, af- !
ter a night Of signing, must have hail
ed the ineffable glory of the second
morning ushered in by the majestic
sun. So to the disciples came the glo-
rious tidings of risen Christ on that
first Easter morn. On that morning
the real Christ was manifested to
them. They wee but babes on Friday,
but Sunday morning found them giants
for his service. DR.. Weeks empha-
sized the following points:
First-The revelation. He show
ed them his hands and side = The
ground Of the world S peace today is
in the wounds of Christ. During the
last half century the church has re-
moved the emphasis from the cross and
its Roadway has been impeded 1t
must come back to the cross to receive
again power Only the vicarious blood
coursing through its veins can bring
or maintain life. What novels are to

must come to love the law of God. 1
preached recently to a congregation
of 700 people, only % of whom were
women. They were quiet, respectful,
lay respecting people. They did not
smoke nor swear nor use Intoxicating
liquor, but they were not Christians.
They were prisoners in jail and they
Ill
in simply obeying the law from com
pulsion.''
Seeond-The incentive for service is
love for Jesus Christ All kinds of
worthy deeds are, possible with love
as a motive. The true motive is de-
votion to Him. Don t try to cover the
wounds of Christ, the symbols of his
death for a sin-cursed world
Third-Resurrectio the promise of
success in the Christian life. Guaran-
tee does not rest in culture or money
or power or organization, but on the
broad shoulders of the triumphant
Christ.
Fourth-Voluntary service. g As my
Father hath sent me so send | you
II the Father had commanded the son
to come to save the world it would
have robbed the sacrifice of all JOY.
The glory of service for him is spon-
taneity. If somebody had urged an
unwilling Mary to give that costly
| spikenard for amounting the Lord he
never would have said that the story
of her devotion would span the cen
turtles. Voluntary giving, suffering, dy-
! ing-that was jesus 5 way and is the
handspring of all true missionary ser
vice.
Fifth-The instrument for the proc
| lamation of his kingdom was the love
| of the Father This was the Master :
instrument and he was given a cross
on which to show it. The church has
tried everything in place of it-tried
| TO fix over, smooth away, correct and
has lost its power. 1t must come back
| to the old message.
-En1urement for power. III
we are to DO his work we mast be
right inside. The Holy Spirit must
hive his way in mind and soul "Tht

make effective your effort or my

ghostly moonlight.
"You heard it," he brcathed hoarsc-

But even as he asked the question,

Accordingly, Isis. her beautiful face

our couches again in states of vary

That there was some profound mys-

the night was evident to me. Morris
klaw and Isis klaw were keeping
something back
The morning came, and brought a
haggard company to the breakfast
table. Few, if any. beneath the roof
of the Grange had known sleep that
night, although. so far as / could
gather, there had been no manifesto

necessarily about the fauna OF the Sa-
