w aldo County Chapter of the American
Red Cross, gave a clear and concise re-
port of the sixth annual drive which in
the hands of 27 solicitors had reached
over 600 members in the city. The So

eagerness on the part of many to renew
their membership. Mrs. Carle spoke in
this highest terms of the efficient work OF
Miss S die M Nickerson, r. N, the dis
trict nurse, and said the unusual success
of the drive was tribute to her.
Mr.. Vaughan, president of the Chill
dren's Aid Society of Maine, spoke in
the interests of its object, the Girls
Home on Northport avenue. He gave
full credit to Mrs. c. M. Craig, its field
secretary, to the board of managers, the
matron, the care taker and housekeepsr,
whose united efforts make the Home
what it is designed to be. His address
assisted materially in the increase OF the
collection for the Home, always taken at
this union service, and will also be the
means of awakening new friends for this
most worthy cause.
DR.. Elmer Small, for the past seven
teen years the efficient president OF the
Belfast Home for Aged Women, gave a

the bequest of Mrs. Deborah Lincoln and
the untiring efforts of Mrs. Sarah Bick-
nell and other women interested in the
cause. Mayor c. w. Wescott has been
| the treasurer during the life of the or
ganization. The Home has been kindly
| remembered with gifts, ETC., has receiv
ed State aid for several years and thus
been able to care for its family without
incurring handicapping Indebtedness. DR..
Small, with an interested board of direct
ors, has given the home the care and
thought that has made it the happy aboe
it is today. At the close he touched up
on the enlargement of the buildings, his
ambition and desire.
The sermon of the evening was pre-
sented by Rev. William F. SKerrye, pas
tor of the First church FederateD D from
the text found in the SIND verse of the
9th chapter of John-"The truth will
make you free." He was given the un-
divided attention of the large audience
as he vividly described mans search for
truth and spoke with strong conviction
of the union of faith and knowledge, also
the disastrous results that follow in the
wake of their separation.
The closing prayer and benediction was
given by Miss Bertha Adams, the elo-
quent evangelist who has been laborlng
with the Methodist church for the past
