Death was caused by a sudden at
tack of heart trouble or apoplexy and
not by drowning.
1t was learned that a man by the
name Of J. E. Clifford was missed
from the steamer Plymouth of the Fall
River line Thursday night while the
vessel was bound from New York to
Providence. 1t was reported at the
time that the man had jumped over
board but this theory is dispelled by
the verdict of the medical examiner
1t appeared that the shock might have
occurred on deck while he was stand

The initials J. E. c. on a gold band
on fountain pen found on the dead
man led to the supposition that he

Rev. Thomas simns. of Maine, For-

Well may we remember the words
Of Prof. Winchester, the Lord Our God
alone Is strong, said Rev. Thomas
Simms OF Gorham, Ne, at the union

Second Congregational churches held
The service was well attended despite
the hot. sultry weather, and Rev. Mr..
Stmms's convincing delivery was LIST
ened to with deep interest.
To the children. of whom there were
q number in the congregation. Rev.
Mr.. Simms spoke Interestingly for
several minutes on the wonderful con-
struction of the body. The text Of the
children's sermon was Ps. 1914. ! am
wonderfully made. Rev. Mr.. Simms
spoke OF the contents Of the average
boys pocket as wonderful things. Mar
bles and tops are wonderful, but the
speaker said he had something in his
vest picket that was even more won
derful and that was his watch But,
said the speaker the body Is even more
then he went on to speak OF the var1-
GUS faculties and concluded by say
ing he hoped the children would al
ways try to do good with these facui-
ties.
For the scripture lesson Rev. Mr.
of Hebrews and then took at his text
two words in the 18th verse Of the
same chapter Nevertheless After

to the many things which are We'd

writer of the book would lead US out

the sorrows of life are related to the
fruitage OF life Out Of suffering
comes triumph, out Of sickness and
death comes heaven and out Of dark
ness comes light. As the purest gold
comes out of the fiery furnace, so out

and women. When a school boy Ma

Let us remember that in divine
economy there Is a place for hardship
and trial. He said: In this world ye
shall have tribulation; but be of good

know their lives we find they are bear

the past twelve months they are ap-
