when heavy shower came up, accompanied
by frequent terrific puffs of wind. One of
these caused three inside stays of the tent to

the afternoon in time for evening services.
After the dispersion of the main audience,
smaller ones were gathered in Raymond, Bid
deford and Portland teuts,-where Revs. A. G,
Trafton of Kezar Falls, A. S. Ladd of Bath,
and j. Hawkes. of Alfred preached respective
