PORTLAND DEAF MUTE ScHooL-The State
has begun to extend aid to out of town pupils
who attend this school, and four already have
obtained it, while twol more will soon apply.
One of these, youth of eighteen, has attended
since October, and although he knew only his
alphabet when he came, he has already learned
to write an intelligent letter, and to speak sufi.
GENTLY to make himself understood, while he
can read the lips of those who speak slowly and
distinctly to him. 1t is almost impossible to
conceive that six months ago he was completely
shut off from intelligent converse. This boy is
anxious to get some employment out of school
hours to help pay his board, as the State aid is
but half enough, and his mother,-a widow
finds it almost impossblesto take care OF her.
self and to feed and clothe him. If any kindly
person will interest himself sufficiently to
obtain employment at any compensation for
him, he will confer great obligation upon the
boy by sending word to this office. 1t is ex-
pected that as emany as twenty pupils will
attend at the fall term.

Bishop Scott ut Chestnut Street Church.
very large congregation gathered at Chest
nut street church yesterday morning to hear
Bishop Scott preach. The desk was adorned
with fine boquets. The discourse was an ex-
cellent one and was closely listened to through
out. The text was taken from Acts I'd 59:
For the promise is unto you and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall call" The
theme was the promise as the gift of the Holy
Ghost. st. Peter could say with full assurance
that the promise is "to you and to your chill
dren, but it was as far as he could see from his
standpoint. After eight years. however, he
could exclaim "of truth I see God is no
respecter of persons" Before this time he was
trammelled by the prejudices of his class He
could then see and realize what was meant by
the passage, "Repent, believe and be baptised
and you shall receive the holy Ghost" 1t is
that promise of the Father which reveals the
Father as God, the sonshipof Jesus of Naza-
reth and the sonship of believers in Him.
Therefore it is called the Promise of the Fa-
ther. On this single promise hangs all the
great promises of God. The precious gift He
promised is the gift of great value. The Holy
Ghost was not then given, for Jesus was not
then glorifed. hence it was promise. The
Saints of the Old Testament knew nothing Of
this gift until the day of Pentecost This
promise is the secret of God with His peo-
pie, the white stone, the hidden mammon, the
blessed unspeakable gift. This gift is peculiar
to the true Christian and is something that the
strangers do not NEEDLE with. If man has
not this gift he is none of His. If he has not
the spirit of Him he is not recognized. What
is this gift? 1t is called the baptism of the
Holy Ghost; the second coming; the Kingdom
of God now come. 1t is the enthronement of
Jesus in the heart. 1t is not pardon though it
is implied, nor santifcation. but it is the spirit
of God to fit the Christian for what he is called
to endure. 1t is the sweet assurance that God
is my Father and heaven and earth are to ad-
minister to my welfare. 1t is for all, black
and white, bond and free, and yet there is a
limit to it. 1t goes only with the gospel
Those who have not received the gospel connot
receive this promise 1t is also limited to those
who are awakened and cry out for help. If
you have not this promise you are not Chris
tian. it matters not what position you hold in
the church. If you do not yet enjoy this rich
blessing seek for it at once while it is within
your grasp.
At the close of the discourse the rite of hap.
tism was administered 10 twenty-eight persons
by the pastor and three were received into the
church by letter,

familiar, but is said to give admirable scope
for the display of her great and peculiar abili-
ties. ALI will of course wish to see her in the
new role.

portunity to see Miss Mitchell. 1t is only by

FANNY MARsH's THEATRE.-This evening
Miss Fanny Marsh makes her temperance at
the theatre. Our people will doubtless take ad-
vantage of the occasion to extend to her
hearty welcome. The play to be produced is
Goldsmith's ''She Stops to Conquer" COM
edy which won popular favor on its very first
production, and perhaps gave its author more
immediate fame than than any other of his
wonderful productions. 1t has held the boards
ever since, and for hundred years has been
dramatic success.
Miss Marsh deserves great credit for her eff
forts to revive the legitimate drama, and should
receive strong encouragement. The Portland
public have long insisted upon the production
of standard plays, and now that their wish is
to be gratifed they should show their appre-
citation by large attendance. The comedy has
been very carefully rehearsed and will be pre-
sented, we are led to believe, in an admirable
manner. Especial attention has been paid to
scenery and costume, the dress of tie time
having been closely studied.
