B a n g o r , Feb. 18, 1902. Game Warden Neal was in town last week after a trip to Tunk pond. He re­ ports that everything is in excellent con­ dition down there. Fishing is fine and so is fox hunting, while the sleighing and snowshoeing have been first rate. He was a bit amused at a story which appeared in one of the local papers, written by the Ellsworth correspondent, which stated that there were thirteen wardens at Tunk watching the fisher­ men to see that they did not do any poaching or illegal fishing. As a matter of fact Mr. Neal was the only warden that was there aud he is positive that he was not divided into thirteen parts. While here the warden discussed the action of the Washington County juries in finding verdicts of not guilty at the recent term of court in Machias in game cases. He says that from his knowl­ edge of the cases, he considers the ver­ dicts wrong. It will be remembered that Warden Neal had a somewhat similar experience over in Somerset county a few years ago. He had a number of game cases which were to he tried by jury and the first one was an exceptionally strong one— so strong that not a lawyer in the court room doubted but the verdict would be one of guilty and that the jury would be out but a few minutes, yet when they returned to their seats, the foreman announced a verdict of not R16KER HOTEL COMPANY, Proprietors. guilty, greatly to the astonishment of everybody.

Mr. Bolster prefaced his sermon by saying that the advent of Christ into the world, its purpose and its result, might be viewed from various standpoints, ac­ cording to the phase of life of which one was thinking. At different times in the world’s his­ tory men have regarded that advent in different ways. To the Jews of Christ’s own day, the coming of the Messiah had as great a political as religious signifi­

Then followed centuries ia which the coming of Christ was con­ sidered from a theological and philo­ sophical point of view. Sects and fa> y o o u S E T . tion arose based upon the interpretation ALSO of the meaning and power of his com­ ing. In these days we speak of the di­ vine view of his advent, and we are led to the words of the prophet Simeon as he beheld Jesus in the temple, “ Behold Paper Bands ' this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul FROM also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” These words which are found in Luk8 II, 34 and 35, may be considered the text of my sermon, the subject of which is “ Christ the Revealer of Mankind.” We say that through Christ God is re­ vealed unto man; that he came to teach men concerning the attributes and the IS TAGS. will of God; that he made known some­ thing of the purpose of the Father in things physical and things spiritual. But we 1 ave not learned the lesson ha would teach unless we have learned more than this about God, unless we have gotten some conception of the infi­ nite love in the heart of the Lord.

He, then, is the revealer of man to God, to himself and to the world, ap­ pealing to all mankind by the beauty and power shown in him to seek a like­ ness to Rim who wras sent to reveal a way unto God.
