SPIRITUAL oUIcKENING.
Was Evident at Evangelistic Meeting
Last Evening

The Friday night service of the union
evangelistic meetings was the closing
week night gathering. II was meet
ing OF spiritual quiekening Many re-
consecrations were publicly witnessed.
number of persons declared their pur-
pose to live the Christian life.
The Sunday night mass meeting is the
final service of the mission. The sub
iect will be "The Closed Door" A great
gathering, crowding the Congregational
church TO the doors, is expected
The evangelist addressed himself TO
the elucidation of the parable of the
ten virgins. He stated that here was
found Gods classification of people into
two classes, the wise and the foolish.
In one other place in the Bible is this
classification made, the parable in Mat
thew Z, where the wise arc said to build
the foundation of their lives on the rock
of Christ's words, while the foolish buid
on the sand because they fail to build
on Christ's words.
He called attention to the facts:
|. All ten virgins were invited. This
suggests the universal invitation 10 the
gospel blessings. But some refuse.
?. All had lamps, suggesting that all
had the capacity for religious life. But
the foolish came TO tho door too late
and without oil. They had neglected to
use opportunities for qualifying for en-
trance with the bridegroom. Their at
tempt to borrow oil of others is like the
attempt OF too many to rely on the re-
ligion of their mothers or their wives or
friends. We must make our own deci-
: ions live Oilr own lives
g. The door was closed to the foolish.
Many insulted Gods mercy, relying on
4 false conception of life, mercy and
ove. The foolish had to suffer the con
sequences Of their neglect, their unused
and their barren lives. II
S not God that banishes them, it is
heir own foolish choices.
Everybody is welcome to the great I
mass meeting Sunday night at 7. Come .
md enjoy the rousing chorus choir, the .
plendid solos by Otho L. Hatch.

Barre People Urged to Come Across for
Needy French and Belgians.

/ Up to this morning less than 1000
pounds by actual weight OF clothing had
been received at the Red Cross headquar
tiers for the relief of the French and Bel
gians. Barre's quota of $500 pounds is a
long way from being filled. and Monday
night will see the close OF the drive. 1t is
not the intention to send out any solici
tors for these articles, as it has not been
considered necessary, and yet everybody
must consider that this is an appeal that
should be answered just as promptly as
though someone called at your house and
asked you to donate something for this
most worthy cause. DO not be afraid
that the articles you have are not good
enough; neither think that any article
would be refused on account OF style.
Remember that these people are practi-
cally without food or clothing. except
what is furnished by the commission,
and that anything in the line of clothing
that has good strong material in it and
is not worn beyond repair will be gladly
received and will be of use
There are thousands of women III that
stricken country who have been trained
to make over and repair these articles
that will be sent them, and they are
happier when at work. so do pot think
it is necessary that you should have to
mend or repair any article. just imagine
yourself, if possible, in their condition,
and then 60 through your clothing and
see if there is not something YOU can
bring to the headquarters in the old city
in the store formerly occupied
by Mr.. Laws.
If YOU have articles that you would be
willing to give and are unable TO bring
them in. please phone l54-R or lSt-M
before 10 O'Clock Monday morning, and
the articles will be called for. The boys
from the fire station have consented to
collect the donations, and they viii be
busy all day Monday, so have your arti
lie ready for them when they call. and
anybody is invited TO stop the boys and
give them bundle, whether they have
elephoned or not. Remember that we
rave only collected about one fifth OF our
quota as yet. and that Barre has not
been behind in any of the drives so far.
Whether she is this time depends ON the
'esponse we get before next Monday
hight. Headquarters viii be open to-
light and Monday night until O'Clock.

furied and the master OF the lodge was
speaking briefly of the motives which
prompted the Masons here at home to
honor those who are fighting democracy's
battles. After the exercises there was
dancing in the commandery hall, with
music by the Masonic orchestra. A
was served by the entertain
ment committee.
Mr.. Gordon held the careful attention
Of his audience for nearly an hour. His
address was intensely patriotic, but
served withal to refresh the minds of
those who listened as to the circum
stances leading up to the great war
The German reigning house, he declared,
was inherently warlike, and in tracing
.he development of the German empire,
ne showed how much OF its vaunted
progress was due to conquest. Turning
o a consideration of the nations who
ire aligned on the side of democracy,
Mr.. Gordon paid tribute singly to the
,art which Italy. France, Great Britain, |
;anada and America have played in the |
onflict. His greatest need of praise /

United States Gauge company of Sellers
willie, Pa, William Hendricks. general
foreman and George Schubert, foreman.
United States Commissioner Howard

he assumed there might be something
more serious in the ease.
An affidavit, sworn TO by a government
agent, says the company is Sanufsctur-
ing gauges for the United States govern
ment that the gauges are subjected 10
an endurance test consisting of submit
ting the gauges TO high pressure for APP
proyimately six hours
II is charged that the accused men in
stalled secret taps and pumped air TO the
gauges, with the result that the test was
defeated. This left some gauges, which
were used TO measure air pressure OF tor
pedoes, defective, according TO govern
ment agents.
The accused men will be given fur
ther hearing next Tuesday.
Bieret and Schubert came TO this coun-
try sin years ago and have taken out

British are well satisfied with the re-
suits of the first stage of the fighting
They undoubtedly lost several ruined
villages. but the defenders held on amaz-
ingly well and worked terrible slaughter
among the attackers.
The British aviators flew very low and
used their machine guns against the OPP
posing infantry. The Germans used
great quantities of gas shells but the
British gas masks appear to have been
most effective. The Germans depended
on tremendous artillery bombardments
and massed attacks. At least 40 adj.
visions have been identified and German
artillery concentration was the greatest
seen on the western front. 1t was only
after the Germans had stopped the ter
rife assault south of st. Quentin Thurs
day that the British withdrew their
lines somewhat to give them the protec-
tion of the Oise river and flooded the
ground around it.

U. S. Cruiser Is Bringing in Pacific Ocean
Catch.

A Pacific Port, March 23.--With what
is declared to be captured German raid
er in tow, a United States cruiser is ex
pected to reach this port next Sunday
or Monday, according TO information Civ,
en- out yesterday by naval officers here
| Wireless messages from the comman.
der of the cruiser said the captured yes
sci is the Alexander Agassiz, for several
years in the service of a biological insti.
tute at LaJolla, Cal. The capture was
made at II O'Clock last Tuesday, 10 miles
off Mazatlan, Mexico.
The AgassiZ, according TO the war
ships messages, carries an alderman
crew and had been outfitted for service
as raider on Pacific commerce.
The Agassiz, according to federal off.
cials, has been a source of much trouble
for some time, and has been under sus.
picion since last clearing from San Diego,
Jan. q, 1917.
The ringleader of the party that out
fitted the Agassiz as a raider purchased
the vessel. according to federal author
tiles here from the Pacific Coast Trading
& Shipping company of Los Angeles
This company acquired the Agsssis from
the University of California on Jan. "a,
lgl7. Members of the company included
Francis c. Wheeler. Maud NJ. Lochrane,
and William Taylor. none of whom, Off
cials said, are at all implicated in the
Quitting or attempted raiding activities
of the Agassiz.
According to shipping records, the
Agassiz registers Al tons, is 81 feet in
length, has twin screw engines, keteh
rig and was built in San Diego in 1907.
The Agassiz was not large enough to
be used extensively as a raider. Federal
officials say, however. that the German
crew evidently intended to capture
Pacific mail boat running to Panama,
outfit ii with heavier guns than could
be mounted on the Agassiz, recruit full
crew from proGermans now living at
west coast Mexican ports and then start
out on reign of terror.
Federal secret service men have been
watching the movements of the alleged
for many months They
secured an inkling of the rngleaders' in |
tention regarding the Agassis and per
mitted him to proceed with his plans un
til they thought it was time for an
American warship to check further activ-
tiles
