Fears of freshet stage being
reached by the kennebec river sub
sided yesterday morning when a
drop in the water of about five in
ches was reported. Through sun
day afternoon and evening the water
rose steadily SO that early Mon
day morning 65 inches were flowing
over the Ticonc dam. The rain
which fell yesterday was not
enough to cause the river to rise
any farther and if the weather clears
rivermen do not believe there will
be more danger of a food.

time this spark of light divine TO
kindle hope in the hearts of his chill
dren? 1t was in the darkest hour Of
history that this star arose; it was
when the Greek and Roman civiliza-
lions were falling to pieces through
their own corruption, and the pagan
mythologies had lost their hold on the
human intellect; when skepticism and
despair were almost universal. Surely,
If there is good Father in heaven,
and If 1t is true that He has life for
His children beyond the grave, and If
this Is the very truth for lack of which
they are sinking into despair, He will
find some way of revealing 1t to them.
Thus the story Of Easter day appears
to me sublimely probable.

~ VERY season Of the year has it's
X lessons. There is no time that
- does not teach us. The uni
verse is as full Of wisdom as
it is of God. A thousand objects speak
to US, thousand voices call, thous-
and influences breathe out the varied
and ceaseless revelation Of nature.
Every termination of a dead world
Is a resurrection wrought by divine
power. Spring breaks forth upon the
branches that little time before were
sparkling with frost and all nature
laughs into life; timid grasses peep
out, climbing vines stretch forth their
tendrils, shadows of foliage thicken
and weave rarer figures on pavement
and roadway, birds fly back, streams
freshen and sing, skies soften, the
landscape Is alive, the unbound earth
rejoices.
The first lesson of spring is joyful
ness 1.-THE time Of the singing has
come" Where singing Is there is Joy,
gladness, freedom. Nature now smiles
and laughs out in very glee. Chris
tianity is not an unnatural system,
gloomy system. Devils may say so,
but thousand eyes that sparkle with
hope, thousand hearts that beat hap
pity declare it false. To the Christian
earth and ocean and stars, birds and
blossoms all teach God, the Gospel,
the goodness of the Creator. Man
should rejoice with rejoicing uni
verse THE Time Of the Singing" is
a time Of praise alteration, gratitude.
So the earth teaches us, and SO the
Great Teacher sent from God.
Another lesson-resurrection. Earth
is full Of 1t. The unfolding of spring
filled poet and philosopher with vague
revelations as they watched the analo-
giles of nature. If God can so care for
the plants and insects, why not man?
the living air blossom; the coarse
tuber blooms forth in the beautiful
flower; the lifeless egg becomes the
eagle soaring above its broken prison
and riveting its eye on the sun. Is
not mans destiny as noble, beautiful,
sublime? Shall not mans feshly body
go again to the dust and his spirit as
sumo more glorious body? Is not
night the death of the day and morn
| ing it's resurrection? Winter the death
of the year and spring it's resurrec-
ton? "As in Adam all die, so in
Christ shall all be made alive"
Another lesson the season teaches
is work-preparation for the future
| When the time Of the singing comes
| all nature is busy, sprouting, blossom.
| ing, growing, getting ready for some
future time. The farmer is busy pre-
| pairing the soil and sowing the seed
with an eye to the future. So the
seed time of life comes which comes
but once, and once lost cannot be re-
gained. The day, the hour, the mo-
ment is now. o that men would let
the earth teach them! A wider vision
comes, sweet holier hope, as we look
not at the things that are seen, but
at the things that are unseen.-Rev.
Or. Frederick D. Power.

Judge Ignorant of Law

Judge G. P. Hargreaves Of Brentford
County court in England, decided to-
get married himself the other day, but
his ignorance of the law held up the
wedding for day. The judges bride
had been divorced previously and a
certificate regarding the divorce had
to be filed prior to the license request
The episode brought to light that Eng
lish Judges frequently cause litigation
after they are dead due to the LOOSE
way in which they draw up their own
Wills.

ROY CATTLE DIPPED TO AVOID
SCABKEs

For the past several years the ter
ritory around Roy and Valentine has
been bothered considerably with out
breaks Of scabies among the cattle
ranging in those districts and each
season the stock from large area in
that part Of the country have been
run through dipping tanks. This
has gradually eliminated the disease
but this spring . few cattle in about
six Of the smaller herds again showed
signs Of scabies. With weather con-
ditions favorable, DR.. Fl. F. wilkins,
deputy district veterinarian for this
district, had the cattle dipped earlier
than is usually the custom. He has
finished that task now and believes
that by getting to the infested herds
early before they have been given an
opportunity to pass the disease on TO
other herds, that the disease in that
section has been thoroughly cleaned
up.
