1t will be remembered that portion of the
dam of the Augusta Water Company was car
ried away last winter, during sudden rise in
the pond. This breach has been repaired by
subitituting substantial stone dam, 50 feet
in length, 10 feet high and 6 feet thick, being
embedded s feet in the ground. The whole
thing is completed aud there will be no fur
then breaks in that direction. The head of
water at the works is sufficient to readily
force water into the attic stories of wo-story
introducing fountains in their front yards.

In conclusion, the preacher congratulated
the candidate upon his ordination to the work
under circumstances so promising, and trust
ed that he would so administer the word Of
Christ that it would be helpful, healing and
ever q Joy and power of an endless life unto
all who hear and believe.
The new minister was then consecrated to
his work by the laying on of hands and a
feryant prayer of ordination by Rev. A. Bos.
serman of Winthrop.
Rev. c. A. Tucker Of Biddeford, in the
name of the Maine Universalst Convention,
welcomed the candidate to the work of the
Gospel Ministry by extending the Right Hard
of Fellowship, saying that he had already
shown himself workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, and as possessing the ele-
ments of success. He welcomed him to the
grancest work in which man can engage, and
hoped that God would inspire all his ways,
crown his labors with success, and at the end
he might hear the welcome plaudit, "Well
done, good and faithful servant"
The charge to the pastor was given by Rev.
w. Z. Gibbs of Portland, who also congratu-
lated him upon his entrance into the work Of
the Christian ministry. 1t is no light task
that you have undertaken. The duties of this
sacred office require a calm aud deliberate
consideration of US all. Content yourself not
with satisfying your own soul of Gods exis-
tence and Christs love, but these waiting souls
to whom must be revealed Savior that will
lead them into green pastures and by the side
OF still waters. In the fulfillment of such a
career you will have need of patience. There
Is much talk about this virtue, but it is very
little exercised. You may feel as though you

A Welcome Hon, C..


A large Number of the members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and Parish in
Hallowell, assembled at the Parsonage on
Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose Of
rendering to their pastor and his wife greet
ing on their return from the late conference.
The hall, sitting r0om and study were
adorned with notices expressing cordial
welcome; the tables groaned under burden
of good things; the warm hand grasp and the
bcaming smile were indicative of abiding
Friendship; whilst the best oval of greenbacks
and other valuable gifts constituted proof
positive that the love protested was not in
word only. Such occasions are green spots
in a minister's life, productive of delightful
memories.
This society has during the past year freed
itself from an embarrassing debt; greatly
improved its chancel and pulpit; and is now
engaged in completely remodelling its vestry
and class rooms.

FatherI at this altar bending
Set our hearts from world-thousht- free
Prayer and praise their incense blending,
May our rites accepted be-
Father, hearus,
Gently draw our souls to thee.
Deisn to smile upon this union
Ol pastor and flock;
sweet and blest be their communion,
May he sacred truths unlock
And this people
Plant their feet on Christ the Rock.
Be his life living sermon;
BE his thoughts one ceaseless prayer;
Like the dews that fell on Hcrmon,
Making green the foliage there,
May his teachings
Drop on souls beneath his care.
Here may sin repent its strayng
Here may (irici forget to weep,
Here may Hope its light dis playing
And biest Faith their viglls Keep,
And the dying
Pass from hence in Christ to sleep.
When MS heart shall cease its motion,
All lis tolls and conflicts Ger;
When h6y for an unseen ocean,
one by one shall leave the shore;
Pastor, people, therein heaven,
May they meet TO part no more

HIedI ItIlSluus SION III tHu prosperity, anu
hope and joy and faith. We have invited our
pastor in. good faith, he has accepted in the
same spirit, and now he should be sustained.
He can accomplish but little without earnest
ness on our part. We must not sit down and
fold our hands, and look en- while he is at
work. The shepherd cannot lead his flock
into green pastures if the flock refuse to fol
low; the labor of pastor and people should
be mutual, and let US all lire the principles of
our holy faith, and each be sermons to be
read OF all men. How much help we
can give in this way. These are the ser
mons that convert men. Let us be
thoughtful of the demands of the Sunday
school, pay our money cheeriully for public
worship, and in all respects be constant in
season and out of season. Attend regularly
the house of worship; empty pews on pleas
ant day is an insult to the pastor. Give the
pastor sympathy and words of encourage
ment Then an influence will go up from the
pews to the pulpit, to return again with added
measure from the pulpit to the pews.
The Doxology was then sung by the con-
gregation. The benedicton by the Pastor
closed the services, which had continued
about two hours and half, without the least
tagging of interest. The new Pastor, who
comes TO this people under such happy aus
pieces, was warmly greeted by many of the
congregation at the close of the exercises.
