WEDNESDAY MORNING, 9 O'CLOCK.
Bishop Simpson read from Isaiah, 81.
The 7o1th Hymn was sung, commencing
"And are yet alive
And see each others face :"
Prayer was then Offered by Bros. Lufkin
and Robinson.
The Bishop then remarked concerning the
circumstances Of the opening of this session.
Brethren that were members of the last ses-
sion, are, some of them, not here this morn
ing. He referred to an incident concerning
the funeral ceremonies at the burial of
Daniel Webster. An aged man in hum
Bile garb approached the coffin, and, as
if talking to himself, said Daniel Web
ster, the world will be lonesome with
out you" So brethren, the world will seem
lonesome without our colleagues who have
been taken away. We now proceed to par
ticipate in the Sacramento services around
the table of our Lord. If Jesus had bestowed
any other kind of bcquest upon US it would
have failed to have conferred many of those
advantages secured by this beautiful ordi-
nance. The bread we here receive becomes
a part of these bodies, we know not how this
wine part of our blood, how, we cannot ex-
plain. So Christ in like mysterious manner
has proposed and will truly become part of
our spiritual nature.
The Bishop extended an invitation for 9TH
ers besides members of the conference to par
ticipate in this Sacrament The presiding
Elders with others surrounded the altar and.
led by the Bishop in eloquent prayer, shared
in the richness of the feast of Jesus love as
sym5oized by the consecrated elements.

came forward to the altar, as also seventy
seven from among the laity.

instruction. Let us instruct the children
from our hearts.
Rev. S. Baker of Orono, referred to the
adornments the world puts on that which is
sinful, as gin put up in sugar. The church
needs to put up the truth in attractive form.
Further remarks were made by Messrs.
Lord, Atkinson, Stinchfeld, Davies, Wyman,
Brown, Lutkn, Littlefcld, Randall, Jones
and Sprague, after which the convention ad-
journcd to evening.
ssea EVENING SESSION.
Rev. A. S. Ladd gave some account of hi,
own experience in teaching.
Rev. G. +. Haven editor lions Herald, }
dwelt upon the brief space in the lives of the
children in which the church can mould them
The Romsh church trains the children. We
must make our church service attractive.
Some imagine that when one evil is over
thrown there is nothing more to do. Slavery
is overthrow, but intcmpcrancc, profanity,
Sabbath breaking, &c. are raising such a
]
tional rivalries, but as in the late war, the
moment of danger must witness complete CO.
operation.
! Rev. Mark Trafton of Boston, said the
enemies of the church are trying to mould the
world to suit their IDEAS The church needs
to do the same. The substratum of all our
exaltedness is owing to the spirit of the Puri
tans incucatcd in the minds of children gen
Grafton after generation Family government
is among the lost arts. Of course | do not
mean any of you / am speaking of the heath
en-. (Laughter.) Abraham did good thing
when he commanded his house.
The Sunday school is generally sandwiched
in between two long, fat discourses. But at
the close of Sunday school the children stream
ont of one door while the parents stream in
at the other door
| believe that all children are born in a GER
tain state of grace. But the evil of this age
is the hot-bed process of impellng the child
rem edncationally to their neglect religiously.
f. ID. Winslow agent Zon's Herald said
we should picture the life of Christ wildly as
the Roniish church does to the children, in
stead OF having them study books of curious"
questions The fictitious books Of the Sun
day school libraries are unfit for children.
The artistic conception of heaven is absurd.
Angels are pictured out about as lovesick
swans in long robes.
The convention voted thanks to the citizens
of Augusta for entertainment furnished, and
to members of Methodist conference for re-
marks made.
Adjourned by benediction by Rev. G. +.
Haven.
This evening the Mendelsshon Quintette
Club of Boston give rich musical treat at
Granite Hall Everybody who knows anything
of music Acknowledges the marvellous mu-
steal genius and culture which the Club com
bincs in its members; but STILL as often as
they are listened to, they seem not only to
charm, but to surprise their audiences. Each
member seems to be endued with natural taste
and skill for the great art, and the spell they
WELD is potent over the audience. The fine
singing of the gifted soprano, Mrs. Weston,
will add to the attractions of the evening, and
the whole entertainment combined should fill
Granite Hall. Those who desire good seats
should secure them early to-day at Patter-
sons.
