the Pastor, \yas unusually eloquent, force

thoughts were drawn from the liatdfs!
laws with which all were familiar—As
he lightning clears the atmosphere of its
humidity, and the vultures remove polu

destroy vice, degradation and selfishness.
He made special mention of the Civil
War. the French Revolution and the late
World War, with reference to conditions
that may, if not stamped out by the
patriotic American people, call oi r pres
ent national guard into action. His word
pictures and their application w'ere very

EAT MORE FISH
Yes, everyone is eating more fish this season than ever before. Our
Spring business was never as large as it is this year. The reason for this
increase in patronage from the people of Belfast is because:
OUR QUALITY is always the highest. Merchandise of the high
est quality is always the most economical. High prices has
taught us all that we are saving money when we are careful
what we buy; but when we buy, buy the best.
OUR SERVICE is always the Ibest. It is a pleasure for us to
meet our customers and to sell merchandise that we know will
' please them. It is our constant aim to render such service that
it is an equal pleasure for our customers to come to our market.
This policy of HIGHEST QUALITY and BEST SERVICE is not only
bringing new customers into our market every day, but it is also bringing
to us customers in distant towns and cities throughout the State. Our Par
cel Post business is increasing each week by the advertising of satisfied
customers—people who never before knew the enjoyment of eating FRESH
fish. REMEMBER —now is the time to buy
