Rev. ami Mrs. Fred Allen, which intervenes before going to Palestine for service in the missionary field.

LAST VACATION STUDY METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL The third in the series of lessons given during the vacation period at the Green street Methodist church, this city, will be exceedingly inter esting to the children who are at tending Sunday, as it will be some what in the nature of a Christmas story which will illustrate how in we escape the punishment accruing from breaking the commandments which were handed down to Moses at Mt. Sinai, over ."!00O years ago. A Christmas tree illustration will he used to show the true meaning and significance of Christmas, the Christmas tree, showing in symbolic forms the real gift of God and its attendant blessings to mankind; form of acceptance and its reward when accepted, all of which will be most instructive and beneficial to the children. This is the last lesson of the vaca tion series. Next Sunday will come the review and the awarding of the prizes to those who have shown the most perfect work throughout the course.

Friday, and visited the local offices. They called at the of fice of F. P. Gray, district manager and also called at the building on Winthrop street where the exchange is located. The men are making a tour of the State visiting the various offices of the companj. They ex pressed themselves as being highly pleased with the Augusta facilities. They came here from Waterville. Word Comes from Lewiston that William I’. Gray, the well-known motion picture theatre owner and official, is well on the road to re covery after a long illness, in which pneumonia and numerous relapses played a prominent part. Mr. Gray's condition was at one time so serious j that, being unable to secure oxygen ! in either Auburn or Lewiston, tanks were rushed across country from Augusta by automobile and to their quick arrival is given credit for sav ing his life. Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Brown of Augusta passed Wednesday at Pop ham Beach as guests of Hon. and Mrs. Edward W. Hyde.

SOUSA AS HE WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO AND AS HE IS TODAY Here is Sousa as he looked when [Augusta last heard him and Sousa as lie will look Sept. 20. when Augusta hears him at the matinee coiieert in City' Hall. Yes. it has been a number of years sinee .John Philip Sousa and his band I have been heard in this city, but he lias not been forgotten. The boys who made the rafters ring with their applause at that memorable concert are men now but they are no less keen to hear Sousa's Band. They will go and some of them will take their own boys with them. The band which looked so big then is bigger now. The players are su 1 perior. The whole organization has | been perfected in many ways. And j it has the same magic, the same, stir ring iiualities and dash that lifted him off his feet long years ago. He will sit enthralled today as he did them. The years haw* dealt kindly with Mr. Sousa. He looks little older in one picture than in the other. He has lost, it is true, a perfectly good set of black whiskers and. perhaps, a little of his other hair. He has gained a little in flesh, and. possibly, a few lines in 1)is face, hut the same abounding vitality and wholesome vigor, alert movements ami tine, mil itary bearing are his. How well Augusta people who at tended that concert so long ago re member that straight, lithe, well-set up figure and those coal black whis kers. He has greatly , dded to his collection of 'medals. He received from King Howard Vlt the medal of the Victorian Order, pinned on his breast by the then Prince of Wales, now King George. The French gov ernment has given him the Palms of the Academy and the Kosette of Pub lic Instructor. He has the medal of the Fine Arts Academy of Hainan. Belgium, and other gifts by institu tions and individuals. In short, i o American musician and few of the great musical conductors of the Old World have had so many professional and National honors conferred on them as have been bestowed upon Lieut.-Commander John Philip Sou sa. both here and abroad. The “Match King” appeared by command before King Edward at Sandringham and at Windsor. When Sousa came to Augusta twenty years ago the band was in its youth—only nine years old.
