wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting

The Wednesday evening prayer
meeting at the Methodist church had
its usual good attendance. Mr.. Moyle
used as his subject Mark 10. 2ist
verse, One thing thou lackest." The
story was of the young man who came
running to Jesus and kneeled and ask
ed Jesus What shall / do to inherit
eternal life?' showing his knowledge
of his lack and also his desire to come
to Jesus.
Mr. Moyls explained how the young
man had lived a good life, kept the
commandments from youth up, Il yet
failed to have the assurance in his
heart. The young man went away very
sorrowful, not willing to give Up his
wealth for God, Who gave him all.
We should also guard against harden
ing our consciences and becoming dis
tant from Gods blessings toward us.

TAG DAY AND BALL
OPENS VAUGHAN
FIELD CARNIVAL

The third annual carnival for
the benefit Of Vaughan Field Play
ground, under the auspices Of the Hal
lowell Board of Trade, is opening to-
day with an earnestness and zest that
will certainly mean success. the
playground must be completed be-
cause the high school and grammar
school athletic teams will shortly need
it. as 1t is understood that other
sources for practice and games will
soon be cut off. It Is not whether or
not we as Halloweli citizens want to
put our shoulders to the wheel, but it
is that we must This years carnival
demands our support more than any
previous carnival If our boys and girls
are to have the facilities Of an ath-
letic field ana playground. The gem
eral committee and the sub-commit-
tees have been at work and something
big Is promised in the way of real
notwithstanding even better than
a county fair.
The opening gong sounds this morn
ing when the children of Maria Clark
Grammar school start out with the
green tags, one of the best sources of
income during the carnival week. Ev-
cry man, woman and child, every car
ought to bear one of these TAGS for the
rest of this week as a sign of the fact
that they are behind the board of trade,
the general committee and the chill
dren of the city. 1t is not only what
you are asked to pay for the tag but
it is what you will give for the tag
in addition to that sum that will count
up. When the boys and girls come
around buy your tag.
And then tonight there is big time
at City hall-the Carnival Ball with
music by Smiths Orchestra. This
dance Is under the specific direction of
the Halloweli nremen and the chair
men promise something very fine. Good
music. good floor, favors and novelties
galore: in fact, . good time for every
one that attends the ball. Today and
ten!sht are the times when we can get
running start for the most success
ful carnival that Hallowell has ever
seen. We ca0pot afford not to support
our children hen they need our sup
port % badly!
