at Congergational Church Last Sunday, 
Both services at the Congregational

devoted to the subject of music. In the 
morning the pastor, L. H. Ruge, preach- 
ed with music as the central theme, 
showing how essential music and singing 
is in the worship of God. In the even- 
ing ‘‘ A Sermon in Song’’ was his sub- 
ject. Despite the heavy thunder shower 
the attendance was good, and the service 
none the less interesting. -Mr. Ruge’s 
talk was composed of narratives and in- 
cidents in the making of some of our 
which a 
ing, and solos by Mrs. F. G. Cheever 
and Miss Ethel McDiarmid. 
In closing his sermon Sunday morning — 
Mr. Ruge said: 
‘“The world is full of need, but one. 
its greatest needs is Christian joy and 
gladness. The sanctuary should be a 
shrine of sacred song. Sing to the sin- r 
burdened hearts of men, sing to the sor 
rowing, sing to the suffering. It is your 
mission from God to sing the glad news 
of the gospel. 
‘Here in your choir loft, in this day, 
lies the secret of your success or failure 
to win souls, not in the pulrit. The 
ear of the world is closed to the plati- 
tudes of the pulpit and it is getting tired” 
of its panegyrics, but itis forever open 4 
to the glad and glorious gospel in sone

Edward and Warran Heath had a 
short touch of Robinson Crusoe life 
Tuesday by being left imprisoned on 
Kettle Island. “They were at the island 
fixing their trap, when all of a sudden 
they noticed their dory drifting away. 
By taking off their rubber coats and wav- 
ing them, and shouting, they attracted 
the attention of a man on Magnolia 
Point. ‘The man proved to be Mr. 
Phalen, and he hastened to their rescure. 
An attempt was made Tuesday tn 
wreck the 1.30 train to Gloucester, by 
placing large stones on the track in the

it went flying through the air, after the 
fender had struck the stones. A
