In thi, Conference, during the past year there

Portland and Lewiston. Rev. Mr. Jaquith OF
lIallowell is the Presiding Elder in the Portland
district and Rev. Mr.. Martin of this city. Presid
ing Elder of the Lewiston District. This will
nccessitate the removal of Mr. Martin to Lewis

erend gentleman is greatly beloved in this COM
maniIy. While the field of operations is more
extended, the Conference has planned the work so
hat it may be done efficiently.
