CENTRAL MAINE POWER co.

Though the kennebec has been and is
still raging toward the sea in flood stage,
the Central Maine Power Company's new
big power development at Skowhegan is
successfully withstanding the rushing
high waters with no further damage than
delaying work on some portions of the
construction.
Due to the excessive SHOWS, and the
consequent tie-up of the railroads, during
the past month, great difficulty has been
encountered in getting a sufficient supply
of gravel moved to Skowhegan to 60 on
with the placing of the concrete in which
it is used. At one time more than 100 of
the men on the construction crew have
been away to various sections of the
State to help dig out freight yards, where
cars of the Central Names gravel were
showed in.
But the engineers now report that
draft tubes number one and two have
been pushed beyond high water stage
and the foundation for the power-house
itself is out of danger. The cofferdam
around the construction work has been
reinforced and while extremely high
water might flood it, the work inside is
at point where wetting would do no
harm, and the cofferdam will resist the
currents that might do damage if thew
pushed inside
Big 500 watt electric lights have been
placed in position around the cofferdam,
flood lighting the entire job so the men
can work at night as well as day.

the congregation were gripped by his
message, especially when the preacher
pointed out the bearing of the resurrec-
tion of Jesus on their own hopes of i'm
mortality. For, explain it how we will,
the heart of mankind clings passionately
to the belief in a future life. And in these
days when some of the greatest scieutists
in the world have openly and confidently
expressed their belief in the survival of
the human personality or soul, renewed
interest is being shown by the people in
this great truth of immortality. If science
is only now beginning to proclaim this
truth, we must remember that the Chris
tian church has been teaching it for 1900
years. Phillip of Macedon kept a man
beside him to remind him of his mortality
by saying, "Phillip, thou art mortal"
But the church has constantly said to
men. Man. thou art immortal. Live as
an immortal" One Of the chief values
OF our Easter services lies in the fact that
they teach us to look the Last Enemy"
IN the face and say, ''Death! IT'S but to
pierce the mist, and then, how beautiful
There was large attendance at the
service Sunday morning at the Univer-
salst church when the pastor, Rev. Geo.
e. Boorn, preached fine and appropriate
Easter sermon, and also at the song SER
vice in the evening. The floral decora-
tlons were under the direction of Mrs.
Fred G. Spinney. They included cut glass
baskets of Easter lilies on the altar stands
with single lily in bud vase on the
communion table. Cut flowers adorned
the pulpit and pots of purple hyacinths,
yellow ionquils and white tulips were ar
ranged at the base of the altar to blend
with the embroidered altar cloth. The
whole effect was very attractive

Easter in the Churches
Good Weather, Large Audiences and I'm
pressiye Services.


Palestine Commandery, No. IA, X. T.,
attended Easter services at the Baptist
church Sunday at 8 p. m. The floral
decorations were simple and very effec-
tive. The altar platform front was COW
cred with white and dotted with sprays
of rock ferns. A white cross and wreath
with asparagus fern decoration was con-
spicuous on the communion table, while
potted tulips, ionquils, hyacinths, and
other spring flowers, with cut carnations,
etc., were we'll arranged. There was a
very large attendance of Sir. Knights in
uniform, who occupied the centre seats
reserved for them. Appropriate music
was furnished by the following: MIR. Har-
old McKeen, tenor; MRS. c. E. Read and
Miss Bertha Hayes, soprano; Miss Laura
Morris and Miss Doris Hersey, alto; MIR.
Earl Talbot, bass; Miss Florence Chaples,
organist; Miss Edna Hopkins, soloist.
The solo by Miss Hopkins, ''Christ Hath
Won the Victory" by Drew, was of un-
usual merit. Her tones were full and
sweet, every word clearly enunciated and
sung in evident appreciation of the
thought. The pastor, Rev. George C.
Sauer, presided, and the program was
opened with professional, beautifully
rendered by Miss Chaples. The Tespon-
sive service of the Commandery was
conducted by Excellent Prelate Sir Knight
Norman S. Donahue; while the responsive
reading of minister and congregation was
conducted by Rev. William Vaughan of
the Trinity Reformed church. The Scrip
ture lesson from the goth chapter of St.
John was read by Rev. Alfred c. Elliott
of the North Congregational church.
Prayer was offered by Rey. Arthur E.
Wilson of the First Parish Unitarian)
church. The sermon, ''The Undimmed
Splendor of the Cross" by Sir Knight
Sauer, was heart to heart talk to the
special guests but also readily appreciated
by the large audience present. 1t was
vivid word picture of the Cross and its
significance, the story of the infancy,
youth and manhood of the Christ. Par
tieularly impressive was the story told
step by step to that first Easter morning
of His life and ministration before His
ascension and of His last words on the
Cross at Calvary. The In Memoriam for
Sir Knights Manley E. Dodge of Ply
mouth, who died June IA. 1919, and was
made a Knight in Palestine in 1883, and
always retained the membership here; of
Sir Knight Ralph O'Connell, who died
Feb. 19, 1920; and of EN-. Sir Knight
Clifford James Pattee, past commander
of Palestine for 19l8-19, were read by
Prelate Donahue. This was followed by
Taps. The benediction by Sir Knight
Sauer and the Recessional by Miss Cha
pies closed the program.
