DEATH OF A FORMER RESIDENT Mr.. Will
liam Knight. formerly of this city, died at his
residence in Boston, March 9th, aged So years
and ten months. He was born in Falmouth
and served in one of the Maine regiments
during the war of 1872. He belonged to the
Ancient Brotherhood of Portland. He had
large circle of fneuds of former as we'll as

vered him for his many kindly traits and prom

and last for this week, of the preaching ser
vices at this church was held last evening
and the attendance and interest which char
acterized the two preceding ones were fully
sustained at this. The services opened with
singing the hymn Precious promise God has
given," from the Bliss and Sankey collection.
Then followed the scripture lesson from the 18th
chapter of Matthew, and singing by the con-
gregation "Onward, upward Christian SOL
dier.''
The sermon was upon the parable of the
sower as recorded in the passage read at the
opening services. A simple abstract of this
sermon would fail to convey to the reader the
fervent and eloquent appeal that fell upon the
ears of those who listened to it. For the past
few months faithful sewers in the vineyard eff
the Master in this city have been industriously
scattering the seed. Apparently, hearts open
and honest have been ready to receive it. Has
it fell upon good ground, int honest hearts?
Ii so, what shall the harvest be?
But what of the seed hat has fallen upon
stony ground? Alas, there have been some
who listened to the preachiog of the gospel
and temporarily received, bat finally fell away
"a spasmodic and unhealthy growth until it
withers and dies out entirely; persecution often
serves to retard and even kill such growth.
This 10 so because the word did not go down
deep into the soul; there was no root IN them
selves, nothing bnt rock to cling to- nothing to
nourlsh and promote healthy Spiritual deve-
opment; thinking they have taken Jesus for
their Saviour they ought also to have taken
Him as Master and submit as loyal servant
Obedience to Christ is the test of Christian
character. The seed falling upon thorny
ground-the thorns spring up and choke it; the
cares, anXeties and trials of life are the thorns
that overshadow and hinder, often before the
seeds have Judgement in the heart The good
ground is not hard, not stony, but soft, warm,
pliable; such is the good honest hearts; into
these hearts the seed falls and springs up and
bears fruit to the honor and glory Of God
The sermon closed with an earnest appeal to
the congregation to receive this seed into their
hearts, After singing the hymn SIS it well
with my soul?' prayer meeting was held
continuing for half an hour
This morning union servce is to be held at
the High street church.
