COOL HEADS QUICKLY
END THEATER PANIC

A peculiar incident which occurred
at the Haines' theatre Saturday after
noon shows what a little thing it
takes to start panic and, on the
other hand how a little presence of
mind will stop one. During the pic
ture show one man was shown point
ing a revolver at another. A small
boy in the audience called out Are"
meaning to call to the pictured gun
MAJ. But the audience took it other
wise and for a moment there was a
mad scramble for the doors. which
were quickly fastened open to pre-
vent any incident. Manager James
MCGEE, however. with great presence
of mind quickly announced to the
people that there was no fire and with
providentially quick thought the
camera man changed the film to a
comedy. The panic spirit died down
as quickly as it famed and the NOV
fes went right along just the same.

Prof. H. w. Brown of Colby
Gives Mastery Address On
Subject, as There a God?"
Proof of Reality Of Supreme Being
Presented in Convincing Arguments
BY Speaker Sunday at South Parish
Congregational Church

rs There Really a God?" was the
subject OF an intensely interesting
and highly intellectual sernon-lec-
ture given by Professor Henry W.
Brown of Colby college at the Sun
day morning service at the South
Parish Congregational church. Proof
OF the reality Of a Supreme Being
was presented in convincing argu-
ments in every day language so that
young people could easily understand
and be able to at once point out rea-
sons for their belief in God. This
mastery address which Professor
Brown has given a number of times
before in New England and which
has become widely known. was
greatly appreciated by the congre-
cation Sunday morning
Professor Brown took lis text from
the 14th Chapter of the Hook of
Psalms and the 1st verse: The
fool hath said in his heart there is
no God" He based his arguments
on the existance of God on five
POINTS: The Universally of the
Idea; Design in Nature Purpose in
Nature: Causation; and Love.
In opening his lecture, Professor
Brown stated that we have no ,ques-
ton that there is a God, but vet in
talking with young men on serious
subjects he had often found them
put to it to offer any conclusions in
evidence of the reality OF God. And
1T was for young people that he had
prepared this lecture
He nOinfa3 Out ,,,I,
in God before any part of the Scrip
lures were written: ttat men be-
lieved in God not because it was
written in the Bible, that it was
written in the Bible because men
believed it.
The speaker showed that the idea
ct God works out we'll in practice
This is the pragnatism OF Professor
James and other writer's who say
that If you are in doubt of the theory
OF a hypothesis, use it and if the
results are satisfactory then the hy-
pothesis is true and may be trusted
And he pointed out how in the lives
of men and in communities. indi-
viduals became better men when
they realize there is a Divine.
hSi dSoiH, there is no Sucn
thing as an effect without a cause
and everything we perceive is an eff
fect There is nothing absolute. If
we could find the universal cause.
that would be God
The element of design presupposes
designer-a mind capable of de-
signing. Such a common thing as a
rock seen under a microscope shows
all evidence of designs, all arranged
in proper relationship, which is proof
OF Mind--proof of design and De-
signer. Also, it can be seen that
there is purpose underlying every
thing in nature
Finally, there is the argument of
Love. People love only the reality
and love is proof OF reality for one
cannot love that which is not. If
one loves God. let him act as if God
was Being and it will not be long
before he feels himself in the power
of the Infinite.

the skin must have a slight infection
and germ enter 1t. He was also
asked how long before one could de-

poisoning"

He was also asked If by using that

again introduced and he said: at
might"
Miss Moore said Miss Dore reached
the hospital at P. NJ Saturday and
was nearly pu'seless at arrival. After
delivery, she sank rapidly and died
about 430 Sunday morning.
T. G. Lord undertaken, of Show
hogan. told of taking the remains
from the hospital to his\rooms. where
! he prepared them for burial. The
parents came there and made arrange
ments for the remains to be taken to
Harmony, where they arrived about

were made for funeral to be held

lage.

he was present at the autopsy
Il, The medical examiner said that
when body was eXhumed on Sept. %
the lips were purple and little abra-
sion was seen on the arm. He SAID
it showed where the embalming fluid
had been injected into abdomen and
that the abdomen was opened and
bladder and womb were removed The
womb was found to be ruptured and
il must have been with a blunt instru-
ment about nine inches long. The
syringe could not have done it, as it
was not long enough; the screwdriver
might have caused the rupture. but
very improbable for the girl to have
done it herself. He SAID the rupture
