Baptists Look Ahead
To Successful Year

The result of the excellent work
being done by the various depart
ments of the Free Baptist church of
this city of which Rev. H. A. Clark
is pastor, was shown in splendid
manner at the Rally Day exercises
held in connection with the regular
services Sunday. A grand rally of all
departments was held with most
gratifying results from the Cradle
Roll department in which children
UP to four years of age up to the
adult Bible classes large numbers
reported for the fall and winter
work..
The stirring sermon on the topic
Home Coming Instinct" was deliv-
cred by the pastor who described
the kind of church we should rally
to. According to Mr.. Clark the aim
of the church should be to do as
much home and Community mis-
sionary work as possible, as all can
not go to foreign fields to work. A
campaign is planned to enroll boys
and girls in the city who are with
out Sunday school, Many other ac-
tivities are planned for the fall and
winter, and the attendance and en-
thusiasm of Sunday augur well for
another successful church year un-
der the leadership of Rev. M. Clark.

Because of the fact that the re-
decorating of the auditorium of the
Old South church is under way the
morning service was held in the ves-
try. Mrs. Bradford presided at the
piano and the chorus choir furnish
ed music. There were two anthems,
one the offertory. Both were much
enjoyed. There was an excellent at
tendance at the service.
Rev. Mr.. Bradford spoke upon the
theme of the present conditions in
the United States, the prevalence of
crime, the non punishment of crime
and the youth of the criminal of the
present day. He compared the Unit
ed States with the countries of Eu
rope and presented statistics that
should make citizens thoughtful. The
responsibility he placed upon the
home. Home conditions, particularly
the many divorces, are responsible
for the lack of moral training of the
young. This training should be CIV
en- by parents as well as by the
church and the parents should sup
port the church and work with 1t.
He concluded with the summary "Ye
that love God, hate eEil."

teams in this vicinity the Gardiner
High gridders are having hard luck
in playing out their schedule. The

and their game with Winslow High a

count of rain. Manager Ben Marley
stated Sunday that it was improbable
that the Camden High game could be
played on account of the lateness OF
the season.

they will meet Morse High of Bath

Another Big Special Meishan Story
by Booth Harrington at Johnson
Opera House Today.

Remember Thomas Meighan in
The City of Silent Mem"
That was one of Meighans great
est. Though the picture is several
years old, every print is still busy
getting the crowds and the coin.
Like THE City of Silent Men,"
THE Man Who Found Himself is a
prison story. 1t was written espe-
cially for Tom by Booth Harrington,
Americas foremost author of popular
fiction. Tom has the role of the
happy go lucky son of a rich small
town banker. His family is promin-
ent and looked up to. The bank
smashes, and Meighan's kin become
criminally liable to the state. Rather
than see his respected father and
brother so to Jail, Tom, who has al
ways been considered no-account
anyway, assumes responsibility and
is sent to Sing Sing.
From this point the picture rapidly
assumes intense dramatic situations
that are cleverly handled by Meighan

mount cast.-Adv.
