The Sons of Veterans Auxiliary had a
supper, program and Christmas tree last
Monday evening with a large attendance
including the children of the members.
The remarks by Dr. George E. Morgan
on the origin and significance of Christ
mas were instructive and entertaining.
Each child was given candy, pop corn
and oranges which were delivered by a
veritable Santa Claus. Later the older
people were served candy and pop corn.
News has been received here of the
engagement of Miss Marian MacMullin
and Henry Cameron Eldert, Esq., both !
i f New York city. Miss MacMullin is
the daughter of the late Robert Burns
and M. Belle MacMullin of 154 West
73rd street and the great-granddaughter
of the late Charles Treadwell of Belfast,
a former owner of the residence now the
Wayside Tea House. She has been for
years the summer guest of Miss Maude
E. Barker. Mr. Eldert is a prominent
New York lawyer.
Thus far December has furnished
weather more like April than mid winter. !
It is feared we may have a Christmas
without snow, tut only time can tell :
that. The Maine Farmers’ Almanac
says that Tuesday, Dec. 21st, was the
shortest day of the year and there will be
no increase until Sunday, which will be
only one minute longer. High-priced
fuel and heavy clothing were easily
placed on the conservable list giving all
more faith in the adage that vox populi
vox Dei. Our friends South and West
for the winter send back glowing ac
counts of conditions with them. From
one on the Pacific coast we have the
following delightful word picture: “We
have a pleasant bungalow in a very
charming locality quite close to the
ocean. Huge palm and date trees line
each side of the avenue while scarlet ger
aniums and many tropical flowers make
everything look bright and summery.
We just love to watch the sunset over
the Pacific as it is a very beautiful
sight.”

THE CHURCHES
#
North congregational Church.
Rev. A. C Elliott, pastor; parsonage, 26
High street; telephone, 157-4. Morning
worship at 10.45. Church school at noon.
Men’s Forum at 12.15. Stereopticon lec
ture at 7.30. Mid week devotional ser
vice Thursday at 7.30 p. m
The church was very prettily and artis
tically decorated with wreaths and flow
ers for the service last Sunday, and a
very large congregation was present. The
entire service was in keeping with the
Chiistmas spirit which is moving in the
hearts of the people and manifesting itself
in so many ways. The solo, response,
hymns, sermon and talk to the children
were all appropriate to the gladsome sea
son when the spirit of good will seems to
possess the hearts of men. _ Christmas is
the children’s time, and it was good to
see so many young people present, and
note their evident enjoyment of the pas
tor’s talk specially prepared for them. It ]
is to be suspectrd that the older folks—
who after all are only children of a larger
growth and a wider experience—also en- i
joyed it, judging from the smiling faces
seen on all sides. Well, it is good for us
all to become children again in spirit, for
we have sinned and grown old. But sure
ly the Incarnation teaches us the wonder
ful possibilities of Divine Personality, and
opens up to us the opportunity of becom
ing “as little children’’ and commencing
life anew under our Heavenly Father’s
love and care. Perhaps some of us long
ing for “the dear dead days beyond re
call” and sighing for the lost ideal of our
childhood as we say:
0 to go back across the years long van
ished,
To have the words unsaid, the deeds
undone, the errors banished;
To be a little child again, whose page is
yet undimmed, unblotted by a stain;
And in the sunrise of primeval glory,
to know
That life has had its start again.
*****
I may go back across the years long van
ished,
1 may resume my childhood, Lord, in
Thee,
When in the shadew of Thy Cross are
vanquished,
All evils that encompass me.”
Mr. A B. Stantial was the speaker at
the Men’s Forum last Sunday and pre
sented in a concise and admirable form
the “Problems of the Farmers.” The
discussion which followed brought out
many interesting facts. One very no
ticeable feature was the stress that was
put upon service. We are learning in
these days, as never before, the truth
that we are all bound together in the
bundle of life, and no man livelh to him
self. The great test of life is to be, not
how much money we can make, but how
we can best serve the community. The
speaker for next Sunday will be Edward
Brassey-Brierly, subject: “The farmer in
relation to the labor union and the con
sumer.”
Next Sunday evening there will be a
stereopticon lecture on “TurKey and the
Great War.” The pictures will be color
ed, and the lecture promises to be one of
the most interesting we have had. Every
body should plan to be present. Strangers
and visitors are cordially invited to the !
lecture and to all the services.
The Christmas tree and Young People’s
Sociable will be on Thursday afternoon
and evening instead of Wednesday, as
announced last week. All young people
invited. Admission ten cents.
The First Baitist Church. Rev.
George C. Sauer, pastor; residence, 13
Cedar; telephone, 123-11. The services
of worship 10.45 and 7.30. Bible school
at 12 o’clock. Christian Endeavor at
0.30 Thursday at 7.30 the mid-week
serv;ce. This week, “The Christmas that
was, that is, and that is to be,” is the
theme The people are earnestly invited
to be present. At 10.45 Sunday morning
there will be a spec al program of music
by the enlarged chorus, with Mr. Par
quette, leader, and Mrs. Snow, organist.
The children are greatly desired at this
service and the public is cordially invited.
At 7.30 a service that will delight every
one has been prepared. The “Lovely
Scenes of Bethlehem” will be presented
with the aid of the chorus choir and or
chestra. The story of Christmas will be ;
told in living pictures and in Scripture
and song. The first scene opens with the
chorus, “Day is Dying in the West," and
then is heard in the distance the duet,
“We Would See Jesus,” expressive of
the longing in many Hebrew hearts of
old. The Scripture reading unfolds the
story of the appearance of Joseph and
Mary at Bethlehem for enrollment. They
find no place in the inn, and the humble I
stable is made to shelter the Madonna.
In this scene a beautiful solo is sung,
“No Room in the Inn,” by Mr. Parquette
and a duet sung by Mary and Joseph:
“My Father Knows.” The scene closes
with the soft chanting: “Holy Night.”
The second chapter of the story opens
with the Bible story of Midnight on the
plain of Bethlehem. The chorus sings
“Joy to the World.” The shepherds ap
pear and are seated on the ground. The
descriptive choruses: “While Shepherds
I Watched Their Flocks,” “Glory to God
in the Highest,” and “Christians Awake”
follow. While the shepherds go to find
the Saviour then follows the number:
1 “O Little Town of Bethlehem."
The third scene opens with a picture of
the humble stable, Miss Morris taking
the part of the Madonna. The Scripture
story is recited and a number by the
chorus follows: “Hail to the Lord’s An
nointed.” A group cf children join the
Christmas scene and sing: “Away in a
Manger,” by Luther. Now comes the
ladies’ quartette, “I Love Him,” by Fos
ter. The shepherds enter and kneel, and
rising tell their story of wonder. They
return to their flocks glorifying God.
The fourth scene depicts the coming of
the wise men from the East. The Scrip
ture story is read and the star flashes
out. The chorus sings, “With Gladness
Men of Old.” The wise men appear
bearing gifts. A baritone solo is sung:
“We Three Kings of the Orient.” They
worship the Saviour, present their gifts
ana wun appropriate solos tell their story.
When they have finished there is heard
the tender far off refrain, “Saviour, Thy
Dying Love.” The scene closes with an
inspiring chorus by the choir and orches
tra, and the triumphant hymn, “O Come
all ye Faithful.” The public is cordially
invited.
On Monday evening, Dec. 27th, there
will be a festival for the boys of the
church and Sunday school and on Satur
day alternoon a festival for the children
and their mothers.

Colonial Theatre
Those youthful rays of sunshine, Doug
MacLean and Doris May, will be our at
traction today, in their latest breezy
comedy, “Let’s Be fashionable.’’ This
time they are a pair of newlyweds and
have an uproarious time tiering to keep
up with the hot pace at a jazzy summer
resort. Don’t miss this one.
“Sooner or Later," with Owen Moore
as the star, is the attraction Friday. Lo
cal photoplay fans will find it much to
their liking. The picture was made for
laughing purposes only—and it is serving
its purposes. A maze of cases of mis
taken identity keep things moving rapid
ly from the first scene to the last and
through them all runs a pleasing little
love story.
Our bill for Saturday is a William S.
Hart production, “Sand!” This is a
Paramount-Artcraft picture, and shows
Mr. Hart in one of the Western roles
that have made him famous. It’s a
mighty story of tbe struggle between
two men—one who was all “Sand” and
one who was all “dirt.”
Cecil B. DeMille’s latest production,
“Why Change Your Wife?” is coming
Monday and Tuesday. If you have seen
“Male and Female,” “For Better, For
Worse,” ‘ Don’t Change Your Husband,”
there is nothing that can be said that will
not sound weak beside your own remem
brance.
-wny Gnange lour Wife?” is a story
of married life. It is staged in the rich
and lavish manner of all the DeMille pro
ductions. Its leading players are Thomas
Meighan and Gloria Swanson, who played
the leading roles in “Male and Female.”
Bebe Daniels, who scored such a hit in
"Everywoman,” is also in the cast, as
well as a host of other favorites, such as
Theodore Kosloff, the famous Russian
dancer, Sylvia Ashton, Clarence Geldart
and Maym Kelso.
The story was written by William
DeMille, the scenario by Sada Cowan
and Olga Printzlau. It is a Paramount
Artcraft.
Do you like Shirley Mason? If not,
there can be only one reason—you never
have seen her. The petite and pretty
Fox star is to open at this theatre on
Wednesday in "The Little Wanderer,"
described as the romance of a dainty girl
from nowhere. And the photoplay is as
dainty as the star. Don’t miss it—if you
do you will regret the fact.

Unfailing Dividends!
After all, doesn’t certainty of divi
dends stand out today like a high moun
tain over any question of high yield or
speculative possibility?
And if so—if you want yield uninterrupt
ed and safety unquestioned—why not
place some of your savings in Central
Maine Power Company 7% Preferred
Stock?
This security continues to sell at $107.50 a
share, just as it did before the war,
through the war, since the war. It con
tinues to pay dividends unfailingly—just
as it has since the first share was issued
—just as it gives high promise of doing
for all time to come.
If 62% and SAFETY suits you, why not
invest in Central Maine Power Company
7% Preferred Stock?
