LATE WAR NEWS.

From drives on wide fronts the Ger
man offensive in France has deteriorated
into isolated attacks alonR the areas be-
tween Soissons and Chateau Thierry and
eastward on the Marne in the general di-
rection of Rheims. Although in these
attacks the enemy still is using large ef-
fectives and great number of guns, he is
being held almost everywhere from
further progress and on various sectors
is compelled to assume the defensive
against vicious blows delivered by the
American, French and British troops.
The Americans on the sectors where they
are alone or brigaded with Allied troops
everywhere are fighting with spirit of
abandon that places them rightly in the
category of veterans.
There is still only moderate activity on
the line held by the British in Flanders
and Picardy where patrol activities and
bombarding continue. On the Amiens
front the Germans are heavily lombard
ing British positions.
The German losses grow more serious
daily, but the Germans still are numeri-
cally superior on the whole front and
may be able to embark on new Often
sive in some other sector, perhaps that
between Montdidier and Noyon. The
French command, it is stated, therefore,
is wisely biding it's time before putting
forth all the efforts of the French armies.
German U-boats are on the Atlantic
coast. The Navy Department at Wash
ington June 4th reported the loss of the
schooners Jacob M. Haskell, Isabel B.
Wiley, Hattie Dunn, Edward H. Cole,
Edna, and the tanker Herbert L. Pratt.
Yesterdays Associated Press reported
the loss of the steamship Carolina of the
Porto Rico and New York line. Three
hundred passengers and crew were pick
ed up in open boats by the schooner Eta
B. Douglas. Seven of the crew were
landed by coast guard lifeboat. The
Columbus of the Savannah line reached
Vineyard Haven safely. 1t is reported
that there are five in the U-boat fleet,
that they intend to stay until August
and that they are strewing mines along
the coast. The report that submarine
was captured has not been confirmed.
New York is preparing for an air raid.
The Boston boats made their regular
trips Wednesday with good passenger
lists. An attack on French tanker off
Maryland was prevented by U. S. des-
trOyer.

REV. W. T. HAWTHORNE
RESIGNS.

Rev. Walter T. Hawthorne has been
engaged as pastor of the High Street
Presbyterian Church of Newark, N j.,
and will move his family there the latter
part of this month and take up his new
duties the first Sunday in July. Mr..
Hawthorne and family have made many
friends in Belfast who sincerely regret
their departure, but congratulate them on
their bright prospects of having home
in city that has gained $4,000 in popu-
lation the past year. The Sunday school
has membership of 500 and the church
a large number of young people. 1t has
a lady assistant pastor, Their regular
pastor is in the service and if he returns
Mr.. Hawthorne will remain as co-pas-
tor. Mr.. Hawthorne several months ago
enlisted as chaplain in the service, but
will now take the place of one in service
Following is Mr. Hawthorne's letter of
resignation.
June End, 1918.
To the Members and Adherents of the First
| Congregational Church, Belfast, Me.
Greeting:-
1t has been my privilege for two years
to minister to you the message of the
Kingdom of God. ! have endeavOred to
preach that message as part of our
everyday life. The opportunity now pre-
sents itself to me to carry on this message
to a larger field. The invitation has come
from a large city church for me to take
up the oversight of their work for time,
and thus extend the sphere of my iDflu-
ence over wider and larger circle than
is here presented to me.
! Under these circumstances it seems to
be Gods will that l should embrace this
opportunity to be used in the service of
the Kingdom to my utmost capacity. l
am asking you therefore to release me
from this present pastoral relation at the
end of this month, June, as plan to take
up my new duties on the first Sunday in
July.
extend to you my heartfelt thanks for
the many and numerous kindnesses that
have been so fully and freely given to me
and mine. My earnest prayer is that
God will bless you and lead you still in
the service of Jesus Christ and His King
dom on earth.
Fraternally yours,
WALTER T. HAWTHORNE.

There is something very effect
ing in looking iuto the cold and
silent grave, in seeing friends
laid there, and in witnessing the
earth heaped upon their remains.
Especially is this so when we
consider that ere long we, too,
must be placed in the same stu
alton. AS the grave is appointed
for all mankind, it would be wise
for us to be prepared for ourlast
home. : but what is to be under.
stood by being prepared for the
grave?it is to be deeply convinc-
ed that we are sinners; it is to
feel our need of an interest in
Christ; to believe and trust in
Him; it is to live under the tea
ching and sanctifying influence
OF the Holy Spirit; it is to love
the Sabbath, the Bible and pray
er. II such is our character and
experience their we are ready
for the grave whenever God may
call us, and we may look at our
last home with pleasure and say:
My flesh shall slumber in t h g
ground
Until the last trumpet's joyful
sound,
Then burst the chains with sweet
surprise
And in my Savior's image rise.
Buff not in possession of the
above blessings, you may well
tremble at the grave, nor should
you rest until you have obtained
them. Repent of your sins, be-
lieve on Jesus Christ and you
are thus prepared for this great
change,
