Ravenden Springs Church Notes

Rev. Taylor S.anfll began weeks
meeting Saturday night before the
fifth Sunday. His consecreted and
prayerful sermons were marvellous
with the power of God. We had five
professions and nine additions to the
church. The meeting was getting in
great way when he was compelled to
close on account of other conditions.
The ordinance of baptism was admin
istered to five Sunday afternoon and
the Lords supper at the night service.
Bro Stanfll is truly a great preacher
He breaches that Christ condemns
sins and stirs the souls of men. The
church joins in saying we are sorry
to give him up and our prayer shall
always follow him that he will be a
power for God wherever he goes.
The ladies of the w. NJ. U. have
organized and our work is going on
fine. We want to do greater things
for God than ever before. 1t is espec-
tally gratifying 10 see the work NOV
ing on so nicely during the hot wealth

GOOD RESPONSE
TO SCOUT APPEAL
WAR MEMORIAL

Halloween people will be interested
to know that there was an extremely
encouraging response to the patriotic
appeal OF the Boy Scouts for Pied
ges towards a memorial for the
heroes of the World War. Because
of the holiday and for various other
reasons a number of citizens were
not reached in the house to house
canvass made by the scouts. Such
persons, all Of whom of oucrse will
wish to have their share even if it
must be only asmallonc-in this
splendid movement, can obtain
pledge cards cat Spauldine's. at
Quinn's or at ~AIurphys. The total
reached in yesterdays canvass was
over $500. The pupils of Maria
Clark Grammar School voted con-
tribution of SO to be taken from
their athletic fund. Yesterdays ap-
peal was to individuals, but it is
hoped and expected that the move
ment will appeal to the various So
cial, patriotic. religious. and frater-
nal organizations. as well as to the
other schools of the Cit. When a
sufficient amount for success of the
movement is assured committee
of five citizens will be appointed to
decide upon the nature and position
Of the memorial.

Rev. Dana Composes
EXCELLENT Poem

Rev. Malcolm Dana. former pastor of
the Old South and now doing rural
work under the auspices of the Con-
grcgational Home Missionary Society.
besides his now book, still in manu-
script. "Thc Rural Gospel" has anoth-
or interesting work. a poem. that re-
lates directly to Hallowcll Its title
is "Assonoma. Last of the Wawcnocks,
Tale of the Bombahook." 1t is illus
tratcd by the "Malcolm Dana Pic
lures Mr.. Dana while in Hallowcll
was an enthusiastic photographer of
the towns natural beauties and the il
lustra tons are delight. The manu-
sCripe is dedicated TO my children
companions of my walks in the land
of Bombahook. and to my camera that
taught me to look and see with a low
trs eye The manuscript in question
is long narrative poem in the metre
of "Hiawatha." it's subject the we'll
known legend of the smoking pine. 1t
begins:
Once this glen so wild and rocky
People was with Abcnaki.
Then each day swept by apace
Wild, tumultuous Indian chase"
The tale of the Wawenoks and the
two pine trees. the tragic fate OF AS
sonoma, all are told in spirited verse
ending:
I'm the daytime or at cleaning
Will this vale find more inviting
For this story of loves plighting
BY the waters of the brook
In the Land of Bombahook"
The legend thus preserved is a beau
tiful one and one closely bound up not
only with the history of Hallowell and
Augusta. but with that of the Kenne-
bee valley. The poem deserves COM
mendation both for its beauty and for
its historic value.
