Evangelist Service

The Gospels Greatest Convert"
was the topic of the sermon given
by Rev. William G. Cooper, Evangel-
list, at the Wednesday evening SER
vice at the Penney Memorial church.
His text was from Acts "a and s..
He stated that the wonderful
achievements of the Cross Of Christ
establish Christianity on the i'm
pregnable rock of truth. 1t is no eX-
pertinent nor superstition upheld by
the influence of a system of priests
but the very truth of God for all
mankind. If we could behold in pam
amoric view the wonderful charac-
ters that have come under its mighty
power and have been transformed,
the sight would dazzle us by it's
Splendor.
These characters arc both ancient
and modern. The power to work
miracles has only passed for the I'M
believing. There are living today
men rescued from the power of
Satan. and fashioned into the like
ness of Jesus Christ.
Perhaps the most remarkable con-
version ever recorded in the records
of ages is that of Saul of Tarsus, who
became the Apostle Paul. From a
bigoted. prosecuting Pharisee he was
transformed in very short time into
the most doughty champion Chris
tianity ever had. Religion in his life
was not a mere reforma ton. 1t was
a revolution. He broke completely
with the past, ignoring the cOnse-
quencies. And what SO conspicuous.
he turned all his energies and power
towards winning his fellow men to
the allegiance of Jesus Christ. The
Church sadly needs some more like
Paul. who follow the Master regard
less of consequences.
This evening Rev. Mr.. Cooper will
speak on The Greatest Quest of the
Ages Among those in attendance
will be delegation from the Fair
field BAPTIST church, Rev. +. J..
Foshay. pastor.

Augusta Folk Fall
Under the Charm of
The Queen of Sheba"

History has been upheld and the
Queen of Sheba has shown Augusta
people that she is jast as beautiful
and alluring as everyone always
thought she was.
Her royal highness made her APP
pearance at the Augusta Opera
house Wednesday and because the
coming of royalty to this city is no
common occurrence the house was
Just naturally packed at both after
noon and evening performances.
The Queen of She ba'' is a William
FOX feature clasSed as a super-spec-
lai. Such designation is fitting. 1t
is given with all the lavishness and
splendor that must have character
lied the oriental courts of Solomon
and Sheba. Thousands of people
make their appearance during the
progress Of the great drama and Just
flashes" are given of scenes that
probably cost hundreds of dollars to
arrange.
But there is one feature about
THE Queen of Sheba" that makes it
far better than the ordinary spec
tacular photoplay: there is no
dlminution of interest. The audience
is kept keyed to the top notch of
interest all the time as thrill follows
thrill while the splendor of the inter
Nening scenes is enough to make the
average individual gasp.
Most excellent acting is done bv
Betty Blythe as the Queen of Sheba

Nell Craig as the Princess Nashti,

given two more presentations today

House Disagrees
with Senate on
Shin Board Finance

Washington. Mar. 15-By a vote of
a to 10 the House refused today TO
agree to a Senate amendment to the
independent offices appropriation bill
which would permit the shipping
board during the coming fiscal year
to continue to use funds received
from liquidation of assets up to $o5.-
100000. Authority to use such funds
until next July was granted the
board in a supply measure passed
year ago but it was realized only a
part of the maximum and Chairman
Lasker had requested extension OF
the privilege.
Another compromise of the con-
ferees which met with House ap-
prevail was one growing out OF the
effort of a bloc of House and Senate
members to have the liner Leviathan
re-conditioned at the Boston Navy
yard. 1t inserts the language pro-
posed by the Senate providing that
no part OF the money appropriated
in the bill shall be used for the re-
pair or re-conditioning of any YES
sci until, reasonable opportunity
has been given to government navy
yards to submit estimates on the
work. The Senate provision was
modified by the conferees. however.
to permit government arsenals to
submit bids and to require estimates
from the navy yards or arsenals
when the expenses of such repair or
reconditIoning is in excess of $loO.-
600 instead of $1,000.
The House by an Overwhelming
vote insisted on it's disagreement to a
Senate amendment which provides
that not more than Is officers of the
shipping board shall receive annual
salary in excess of $1,000.

may be used as two separate rooms
with one bath in common. These
rooms are most attractive. A study
of the particular needs of Waterville
was made and this arrangement
seemed to be the one which would
take care of everyone.
The top floor has four operating
rooms which are to oe the last word
in equipment. Two will be known
as general operating rooms while the
third will be the Ear, Nose and Throat
operating room. The other will be
devoted to Eye operations. Special
attention has been paid to the differ
ent needs Of these rooms, especially
as to size, lighting arrangements.
There will be separate etherizing
rooms, scrub rooms for the doctors,
recovery rooms, SO that all the work
of the operating floor can be carried
on to the best advantage.
In addition on this floor there will
be large modern X-ray room with
all the facilities for diagnostic and
therapeutic work of this nature. A
large laboratory completes the
scheme. affording opportunity for all
necessary research work. This is
something which Waterville has
needed for long time.

pride to Waterville and not only serve
to fulfill great need IN the commun-
ity but will act as 4 great business
asset as well. And it will be so built
that it will be able to take care of the

will be broken preparatory to build
