December Sermons at
UniverSaliSt Church

For the month of December the
Rev. A. Francis Walch will preach a
series of related sermons. These
sermons will try to show how the
outward world was slowly made
ready for man. and how man. led and
inspired by the Divine Spirit, has
slowly climbed upward, "since the
first man stood God conquered. with
his face to heaven upturned." The
thought will lead naturally to the
great, inspiring and perpetual mes
sage Of Christmas.
The topics are as follows:
Dec. l-"F'riends of God and Pro-
phets." Being an attempt to show
how Wisdom and Goodness are the
paths by which men are led to the
largest expression of life.
Dec. 1.-THE Wages Of Holiness"
Being a statement of the beautiful
romance OF the "face turned from
the clod," to the sunlight heights.
Dec. 1S-"The Face and Figure of
Gods Man." Being the story of the
"arrival,"-the prophets vision of
Gods likeness.
Dec. 25-"The Christmas Gift
The Angel. The Song, The Child"
Being the realization. "the word was
made flesh" God in man. peace
through good
These sermons will be delivered at
the morning service.

ELEVATION OF HOMES
MADE IMPRACTICAL
INSTALLING WATER PIPES

The Public Utilities commission
has issued an order, under: date or
Dec. !, diminishing the complainr of
T. ]. Sheffield and others against the
Augusta Water district made on July
~. last alleging that the complain
ants. all living between. the resi-
dences OF M. I. Lee and Manley
Guild. desired service by the district
but that 1t refused and neglected to
grant 1t.
The commission made preliminary
Investigations and ordered a hearing
Tor Aug. II, at which none of the
complainants appeared. George E.
MacOmber. chairman Of the Board of
Trustees of the Water District. ap-
peared and explained the conditions
existing in that locality and reasons
why the district should not be re-
quired to furnish the requested SER
vice. The decision says:
lit appears from the statements
OF Mr.. Macomber and from the testi-
mony of Mr.. Norcross. the engineer
who surveyed the premises, that the
elevation of most of the houses along
the line Of the proposed extension is
SO great that very little or no pres
sure at all can be obtained at these
houses. According to this testimony
, not moro than four OF these houses
would receive service which could
be regarded as satisfactory. At all
Of the others the service would be
uncertain and intermittent and at the
highest point on the proposed line
no service at all could be given. The
total length Of the extension would
be approximately two miles and the
total cost of the extension, accord
ing to Mr.. Macomber's statement
| would be $17,643
I'm view Of the poor quality OF
service which 1t would be possible
for the company to render by reason
of the high elevation Of most Of the
houses along the line Of this pro-
posed extension, the commission does
not feel justified in requiring the
company to incur the expense neces-
| sary to make this extension"

en- From His Passionate Here
Rev. Paul S. Phalen, minister of
All Souls church (Unitarian) of this
city has received very flattering
call from the Unitarian church of
West Newton. Mass, one of the larg-
est and most influential Unitarian
; churches in New England. A meet
ing Of the members of All Souls
church has been called for Thursday
evening, Dec. at 7.3O o'clock, to
consider the matter and take action
upon releasing Mr.. Fhalen from his
pastorate here. edo
This would be done most reluct-
antly because of the intimate and
pleasant relations between the
church and its minister and the great
success that has attended his eff
forts. Mr.. Phalen is the dean of the
ministers in Augusta, being now in
the midst Of his tenth year of SER
vice. He came here from Hing
ham, Mass. in 1912, where he had
served as minister for four years.
He is graduate OF Amherst college
and OF Harvard Divinity school. a
soldier Of the World War, having
served as chaplain one and a half
years overseas and" is a forceful and
effective preacher as well as a help
full pastor.
N =: -
In the New England Women's AL
lance and both Mr.. and Mrs. Phalen
have so identified themselves with
the best interests OF this city TINT
they would be greatly missed by our
people outside as we'll as inside
their church. ~

started on ollr long automobile trip
to Ripogenus Dam, q, distance Of
more THAN 40 miles through unbroken
forests, except for a hunting lodge
and here and there one of the COM
pany's farms. The dam is 20 feet
high. and about $50 feet long. built
by the West Branch Driving and
Reservoir Dam Co, to form rese-
voir for the Great Northern's mills
at Millinocket. Here we took pas
sage with. Capt. Alex Gum, for a
Journey up the lake to Chesuncook
village. AS we passed UP the lake
away in the distance could be seen
tho long snow-capped outline of Mt.

On Sunday evening the whole
community gathered in the. little hall
used for church services and public
entertainments, and here the State,
under the direction of Adelbert Cor
don, conducts one of the schools held
in unorganized townships. The oil
lamp suspended from the ceiling, the
little organ in the corner of the hall,
every available seat taken. and all
standing room occupied. Here were
men from many parts of the United
Saskatchewan Mcdonald, private
secretary to Governor Cox of Massa-
chusetts, a great secretary and ! un-
derstand a mighty hunter. and withal
a most genial gentleman, who was
good enough to call at the State
House in Augusta a few days after
and say that he enjoyed the meeting
in the woods. The singing conducted
by Mr.. MacNichol consisted of popu-
lar and sacred music. and how those
people did sing! One was given the
impression that they had waited a
lifetime for this one hour and were
now not to be cheated or denied their
pleasure. Once more Mr.. Toussaif,t
entertained the people with his NOV
ing pictures, and I cannot remember
when have seen people so thorough
ly manifest their pleasure as the peo-
pie of Chesuncook village at that half
hour moving picture exhibition.
