Resolutions strongly condemning
the un-American efforts on the part
of Orthodoxy to strangle learning, in
the interests of dogma, in forcing the
passage of anti-volutionist statutes
in several of our southern states
were passed by the Maine State
Spiritualist Association at their three
day convention which came to a
close here on Sunday night. Other
resolutions were in commentator of
the last Maine Legislature for the
passage of a sterilization bill for the
feeble minded and advocating that
its provisions be extended to include
those convicted of felonies and de-
ploring the increasing disrespect for
law and order and the increasing
crime wave which is no win evil
dence.
The full text of the above resolu-
tons was as follows.
Resolved that we reaffirm our al
leGiance to the fundamental Ameri-
can doctrine of free thought, free
speech, free press, free public schools
and the total and complete sepera-
ton of church and state. apd that VIC
deplore the un-American efforts on
the part of Orthodoxy to strange
learning, IN the interests of dogma
in forcing the passage of anti
evolutionist statutes in several Of
our southern states.
Resolved that we view with
alarm the increasing disrespect OF
many of our citizens, even those in
high places. for law and order in the
communities, with its consequent
wave of crime in the underowrld, and
that we urge the individual Spirit
ualists of Maine to impress on their
neighbors their duty to uphold the
Constitution of the United States and
all laws hereunder to the end that
we may obtain the Anglo-SaXon ideal
of Liberty Under the Law.
Resolved that we commend the
last Legislature of Maine In passing
a law permitting the sterilization OF
the feeble minded, thus preventing
the propagation of the unfit. and we
urge that this law may be extended
to include those convicted OF
felonies."
Reflect President Smith
This three day convention was
characterized by President Arthur c.
Smith of Buxton as the most success
full and harmonious meeting of this
nature ever held by the State AS
ISOLATION. Many members were pre-
sent from all parts of the State and
the interest that has been manifest
at all of the sessions was very pleas
ing to the officers.

MUCH REBUILDING
NOW GOING ON

Rebuilding and reconstruction
work is prevalent in Augusta and vi
entity this season. That means that
A. E. Hall, street commissioner CT
Augusta, is very busy man. OF
course, as street commissioner, he
has nothing to do with the tearing
down of buildings. but in his private
capacity as a wrecker of houses. ne
has very much to do with this kind
of work
When 1t comes to wrecking houses
there is a whole lot to the job than
just the mere tearing down Of the
structure. This work must be done
in way so that the greatest posi-
BILE amount of material is salvaged.
In the majority of buildings. there
are boards, timbers and other struc-
tural pieces that can be used again.
Mr.. Hall sees to it that all of this is
saved that can be used. AS a re-
suit by the proper wrecking of a
building, money may be saved that
would be lost did inexperienced hands
do the work.

ton was followed by reception and
the entire afternoon program was
one or interest and particular pleas
ure to the many who participated
In bestowing the beautiful gifts
upon their church leaders. Mr.. Web
Der spoke in part as follows:
"A little over four years ago the
members Of the South Parish Con-
gregational Church were looking for
a pastor.
AT that time the parish was in
need of strong guiding hand; of a
leader; OF friend. The call went
1orth and by some Kind providence
you answered.
During these few years you have
endeared yourself to us in countless
ways. in sickness and in health, in
sorrow and in Joy. in play and in
work you have been our friend,
counsellor and we'll wisher. You
have laughed with us and at u.s.;
prayed with us and no doubt for us.
"All the time the parish has
steadily grown, new members by the
score have sought the inspiration of
your presence and your guidance
over all of our work
To-day we are all profoundly
grateful for you two young lovers
who have come down through the
years to enrich our work and life.
1t hardly seems possible that in this
short time you could make on our
lives such a deep impression.
For some time we have sought an
opportunity to give adequate ex-
preston of the affection which is in
our hearts. The opportunity came
to tell you Of these things when we
learned that this day is the 25th
anniversary of your marriage. By
assembling here we are bold enough
to think that perhaps we may make
even this happy event a bit happier
for you. Our presence is a visible
expression of our friendship.
IN the beauty and simplicity of
your faith we know that our con-
sratulations ana our sincere good
wishes will ever be silvery bright in
your mind and memory but we are
more material. We wish to make a
more tangible evidence of our
friendship.
A gift has even been the symbol
of friendship. We have therefore
love-a gift of silver-not much to
be sure but pure silver. In this gift
nearly every member Of the parish
shares.
"Silver is the conventional gift for
the 25th wedding anniversary; gold
the symbol of the 50th. In this
happy event today we are combin-
ing both.
ITO the silver we add a touch Of
gold in these two coins Of the year
1901. each as bright. as golden and
resplendent in possibilities as when
you joined hands % years ago.
with these gifts go the undyins
friendship of a united parish. They
are tokens of our best wishes
for your future happiness. They
express the hope that the years
ahead may be bright with opportun-
tiles and as Respondent with golden
accomplishments for the Kingdom
of God as the % years through
which you have so successfully and
happily passed. And when another
quarter century has winged its flight
| may you look back over your life
with unalloved satisfaction of work
we'll done with joy and love trl-
umphing.
