The pension bill already passed by

Dl'RHAM. Me.. Dec. 17. For ten
hours today. Rev. Frank W. Sandford.
the leader of the Holy Ghost and Us
Society, who tomorrow is to appear in
the United States District Court at
Portland for sentence on a charge of
having been responsible for the death
of six of his followers, stood in the pul
pit at Shiloh, talking, preaching and
praying.
Of the 800 odd men, women and chil
dren who make up this strange re
ligious colony, hardly one was absent
from the services.
"Hell Itself cannot hurt me," Sand-
ford declared. In referring to possible
punishment. "God has done so much
for me that nothing hurts."
In the course of his remarks Sand
ford predicted war. famine and pesti
lence. "War, war, war from the Atlantic to
the pacific." he declared to be in sight.
"North America by II air."
"You will not have many years be
fore you will see the Son of God come,
I promise you," he said at another time.
"I shall have perfect peace when that
day comes. I have the keys to death
and hell in my hands."
"I'v got North America by the hair
of the head." the speaker exclaimed
once and added "If I go down. North
America will go with me."
Sixty years In a Federal prison or a
fine of 960,000 or both Is the maximum
penalty that he may be called upon to
pay. But for adverse winds. Sandford
might yet be engaged In the evangeliz
ation voyage on which he embraked on
the yacht Coronet, with a handful of
the faithful, 17 months ago, praying
for the conversion of Inhabitants In far
countries. He was driven Into port a
month ago on a sinking ship, only to
face arrest on the charge of having
failed to provide proper food for his
followers, and thus causing the death
of six from scurvy.
"Moses" to gneeeed "Elijah."
Sorrow at the approaching parting
from his wife and five children is all
that seems to have the power to shake
the leader from his calm. . In the past
seven days there have been many con
ferences on the hilltop on which the
temple of the sect is situated, but ex
cept the announcement that Rev. C.
E. Holland, the "Moses" of the flock,
will succeed to the active management
of the colony, no public word has come
forth.
The life story of the man who en
tered upon the work of evangelizing
the world single-handed, without
money or hopo of recompense. Is
markable. Sandford, as a boy In his
native town of Bowdolnham waa
llglously Inclined. As a student at
Bates College he secured a place on
the college baseball team and regularly
prayed for victory before each contest.
His work a s catcher and batter at
tracted scouts from the big leagues,
who vainly made overtures to him.
Work Directed by Revelatloa.
Some years after graduation, Sand
ford was ordained as a Free Baptist
clergyman and married Miss Helen
Kinney, of Sing Sing, N. Y., who had
been a missionary to Japan. According
to Sandford's own story, one night in
New York he had a revelation In which
he was directed to give up his church
and live a life of faith, depending on
God for his support.
Returning to Maine he started his
work of world evangelization. The
movement gained such strength that
headquarters of the cult were estab
lished here at a cost of $100,000 for
the buildings. The students now num
ber 600 at the "University of Truth."
on the "Hilltop," and sailing vessels
have been chartered in which many of
the sect have made voyages of evan
gelization In the "seven seas."

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17. Major-Gen
eral Leonard Wood, cniei ot ct.au u

his annual report that the consensus of
opinion in the Army Is that the canteen
should be re-established.
iii.rurui Wood also maKes some c-

necessary to provide garrisons to pro

In rMnmmpM nz snort-iwrm

the position that great care should be
