MAYOR MCLEAN WELCOMES THE
maine SPIR|TuALIST ASSO,N, TO
CITY FOR THREE DAY CONVENTION

"The religion to satisfy the future
must be based on current occurances
and more than ever the world is seek
ing for spiritual knowledge" said
President Smith of the Maine State
Spiritualist Association in his ad-
dress at the opening session of the
three day convention of the Asso-
citation which is being held at the
Community Club in this city.
He then went on to say that be-
cause of the great war the mass of
people is clamoring for more in
formation as to their loved ones who
have passed beyond. They have thus
started the study Of the psychic
powers and the continuity Of life, and
more and more the theological beliefs
are being subjected to Intellectual
questioning on the part of those who
had previously held to these dogmas.
He said that the most valued SER
vice that one can render is in the
exercise of his spiritual gifts. He
mentioned the great healers of
spiritualism and also the speakers
and message bearers, particularly
bringing out the fact that Lincoln
had sought spiritual advice through
the mediumship of Nettie Colburn.
President Smith also emphasized
the perennial nature Of the religion
of spiritualism and that it is based
upon facts Of the day. let that be
what 1t may. He recommended that
all should develop their love natures
as they develop their phycical system
and interest by use, thus attracting
the very best elements for their
greatest good and most rapid ad-
vancement.
The meeting was called to order
at o'clock by President Smith. Az
ter the invocation by Rev. Louis +.
Jones, Mayor Ernest Mclean well
coined the delegates to this city upon
behalf of the citizens. A very fine
reply to this address of welcome was
made by Rep. Mark A. Barwise of
Bangor who is prominent in the work
of the Association.
After the presidents message, the
various committees were nominated
and reports of various officers were
heard. The reports show that the
Association is gaining in number of
members and in local associations
and that there is a corresponding in

No Reward

A Norwegian, John Larson by
name, a lumberman had a couple Of
Swedes working for him. One day
one of the Swedes got a little fresh
and the Norwegian threw him into
the river. Then the other Swede
got into an argument with him. and
he, too, went into the river and was
drowned.
In about six years Johns con-
science began to bother him. He
went down to the sheriff, Ole Oleson.
and said:
ola, sax var ago Ay kill a couple
Swides. and my conscience is begin
to bother What sholl Ay do?"
well. I dunno. John. Ay bane
sheriff only IS months and dunno the
rules. You better go and see Knute
Nelson. the county clerk. Maybe he
know what to do"
So John proceeded to the county
clerks office. and there unloaded his
troubled mind. Knute, after hearing
the story, took down a big book,
rushed through its pages. then tools
down another book. and studied 1t.
Finally. looking bit puzzled, he
spoke up:

A whole new generation of little

with q will, and soon secured thou
sands of toys. At the same time
they helped inculcate in their own
children lessons Of generosity
This is how they did it. Ashower
was given, to which admittance was
gained by payment OF one toy. Each
child brought a doll, a miniature
engine, drum or some other play
thing.
The result was that 5000 toys of
all kinds were sent to Palestine to
brighten the hearts and lives of the
little unfortunates of that land
