The crew Of the Kennebec Gas Co.,
which has been digging on Main
street for the laying of new pipe
line, have been having rather hard
time. as they have run into the old
spring which Is under the street there
and 1t has kept their trench pretty
we'll filled with water and they have
had to have one man pumping all the
time. The water comes from an old
boiling spring which has caused a
hump" in the street each winter due
to the water freezing. Arrangements
are being made by the city engineer
to dig a drain and carry the water
away into the sewer before the new
paving is put in there. as it is feared
that II this is now done it will result
in breaking UP the concrete.

The company maintains high stand

Efficiency of farm labor is often as
important as its distribution Two
young men were blowing clover sod.
Each had two horses hitched to a ID
inch walking plow. 1t was heavy
plowing. and each team was barely
able to pillow one and half acres a
day. One morning the men decided
to try three horses on one plow. They
did 50, and to their great surprise
one man and three horses easily
plowed acres per day. They plow ed
as much as two men and four horses
had previously done and did it much
more easily. 1t was even easier for
the driver, because it is always cas-
ier to drive team that is not over
loaded. The new arrangement re-
leased one man and one horse for 9TH
er work.
A contest among boy club members
which resulted in direct and material

practically freed from the pests, 2,73l
tents having been brought in and de-
stroyed.

of those under their influence. And
thus viewed from without Christianity
does not present very pleasing pic
ture and we must consider the inmost
soul of its development before we can
get a right estimate of it,
1t has not only had these difficult
les within its ranks to meet but it
has had necessarily to meet hostii-
ties from without. There has been
the conflict with doubt and criticism
on every hand, by those who do not
understand. 1t has often had to meet
the bitterest opposition from those
who should have been its dearest
friends.
christianity has had to present more
and more the reality of the invisible
world in comparison with the visible.
Christianity brought to the world a
new ideal of life and life values, and
WREN we look beyond the outward ap-
pearance we find that a mighty life
force has been implanted in the world.
Wherever the ideals of Christ have
taken hold it has brought about great
changes in the life of the individual |
and has brought revolutions in soci-
ETY.. 1t has given to life new earn
estness and has given the individual
a new vision of possibilities and re-
sponsibilities of life. In its deepest
essence Christianity has never been
touched by the criticism of the world,
and while its onward march in the
world has been hindered by the TN
faithful lives of. those within its
ranks and by the determined opposi-
tion of those without, yet as a power
in the world it is the greatest moving
force in the worlds history
